Merged sections that were previously popular function in all programs for the control of drives/partitions, and file systems. One of the disks remains (main, boot or any other), the second is "poured" into it, becoming a folder on it. This of course, if you had to move with the data.
If you can remove all with the "second" (in your case the first) of the disc, that is no problem at all - delete the partition (that is, there will be Unallocated space), choose to rest - "extend" - this is done in literally ten seconds - a minute or two.
Here only the "back" 't remember if there are any features, like it shouldn't, but suddenly... Check on the virtual disk - create a VHD and it practice - to clarify.
