Free Space Partitioning

I deleted a drive partition, but I can't get the free space to re-incorporate back into the Macintosh HD; how do I get the free space back on to the Macintosh HD? Thanks.

Mac OS X (10.7.4), IMac Mid 2010

In the Partition tab of Disk Utility, drag the bottom of the current partition down to fill the remaining drive space, and click Apply.

Yeah, that's not working.

I guess because I have another parition which I want to keep.

I had 3 partitions total:

Machintosh HD

Ubuntu

Windows

To resize (or delete) an existing partition without losing data, you will need to use, for example, iPartition:
