Managing partitions without third-party software
I'm trying to do this without having to install something new.
I just deleted two old partitions, and I want to make one new partition from the both of them.
When I select 'make new partition' it tells me that the max size is 48GB or 105GB depending on which one I click.
How do I get Disk Manager to make one partition from the remaining unallocated space?

Why blast? Robert meant you can do what you want, you just need a different free tool like Gparted.
I like the disk partition tool from Easeus myself. Its free, easy to use, and you should be able to re assign all that unallocated space with it.
Apparently, it's too much to ask that any of the applications and tools that ship with windows be in any way useful...
I understand. Look at it this way, if MS had a tool for everything built into windows, they would be an even more dominant software monopoly than they already are. Bad for the little guys trying to make their way in software development. Microsoft can't have it all.
Exactly.
Also, FYI: Disk Management in Vista and Windows 7 are greatly improved over previous MS releases and allow resizing, splitting, or merging of even the system partition on the fly, but pulling partition 0 and any other partition from the end of the disk together is tricky business.
Or make two partitions, and assign both to folders on your C: drive, instead of assigning new drive letters.
