Is there a way to merge unallocated space on a drive with a partition and data on the same drive without losing the data on that partition?

none that i know of
 
So you want to expand a partition, essentially?
Code: 
turn this: +===+==+=++==|---------    + data
     into: +===+==+=++============    = partitioned space
                                      - empty space
Partition Magic does this, but it's not a completely reliable operation - make sure to back up first.

Agreed, PM will do this, its slow as can be and does its entire thing in a DOS might like state; and as the poster said, back up the data first as it is not always 100% perfect.
 
I see. Is there any free software that's reliable enough to backup? And is there any free software to expand a partition?
