Merge Unallocated Space BEFORE partition (W2K8R2)

Question

My Windows Server 2008 R2 Disk Management looks as follows:

    100 GB    100GB 
[Unallocated][(C:\)]
      X         Y

I accidentally installed Windows into the second partition (Y) instead of the first (X). Is there a way to safely merge X + Y into a single partition without having to wipe everything and re-install?

Thanks!

I don't think you can do this with the Disk Management MMC or with diskpart but you can probably do it with GParted. — joeqwerty, Dec 17 '12 at 19:57

You can use GParted to do this. You will need to boot the server from the gparted ISO.

Here's a super easy tutorial. GParted is very easy to use.
