Then download delpart.

it will delete your partitions for you and should allow you to create a larger partition.

This will cause me to loose all my current data correct? Will it simply combine them or format then combine?

And it is this difficult, trust me I tried what u said and hoped it was that easy, with a simple reformat but the unpartitioned space never merged when I deleted and formatted my other drive.
