Help with partitioning

I am on OS X tiger:

I have an external drive, and is partitioned as such:

Ichi (130 gb)
Ni (7gb)
San (7gb)

How do I merge Ni and San, but not have to erase Ichi?

It is ok for Ni and San to be erased. I don't want Ichi to be erased though.
 
ichi-ni-san-shi-go-roku- shichi-hachi-kyu-ju 🙂

do you have Leopard? if so open Disk Utility, choose the external drive (not the partitions), click the "Partition" tab, command-click Ni & San and then press the "-" button. it will then ask you if you want to erase Ni & San. then create a new partition. Leopard's Disk Utility allows you to create a new partition without formatting the whole drive.
 
The irony of this is that I am trying to install leopard but I need to put these together.

Are there any freeware apps?

I don't care about if I have to reformat the two partitions, but the partitioning system is the master boot, meaning it isnt the guid, so I can't just move sliders and it is happy happy joy joy. I can't change it from master boot to guid without reformatting the whole drive, and I do not have a spare drive to move all 66 gigs there.
