Hey everyone. On my Macbook Pro, I have 3 partitions. One for Lion, one for bootcamp, and a 3rd that I created with some plans Im no longer interested in - so I would like to recover that space and combine it with the partition Lion is on now.

If I go into disk utility and highlight the 3rd partition and click the minus at the bottom, it goes away... but the space never combines with the 1st one. If I click apply > partition it acts like its partitioning but again never recovers that space.

Is there no way to do this without reformatting?
