Merge or Combine Two Partitions in Mac OSX

it's easy:
1. boot from DVD (10.5 system disk / Leopard)
2. open Disk Utility
3. Select the hard drive from left hand column (NOT partition but drive, eg something like WDBEVE and not s03 etc).
4. Click on Partition tab in main window
5. Select "Current"
6. Select partition you wish to delete
7. Click on minus (-) sign on bottom left
8. Confirm Delete
9. Drag original partition to include full disk
10. Confirm resize
That's it! Reboot and you're done.
This is like over a year later, but thanks! Worked perfect! (P.S. I did the 10 step version mentioned in the article, and I didn't boot from the disk, I just opened the installed version of Disk Utility in the Utilities folder).
I just discovered a simpler way:
1. Format the partition you want to delete on ur mac to FAT 32 using disk utility
2. Open boot camp assistant and voila, choose to delete the partition
As simple as ABC...n now u have a unpartitioned HFS drive :)
