    Not Getting Able to Merge Drive with Unallocated Space!

    You should be able to right click on partition I:, in Disk Management, and select Extend volume... to add the unallocated space to partition I:. It should be as simple as that. You can't "merge" unallocated space with a partition, because unallocated space is not a partition. To "merge" 2 things those things need to be the same type of thing.

    And no, it's not illegal to copy files to another drive.

    Cant merge Partitions

    The problem is that 450MB partition sitting in the middle of the unallocated disk space. You need to move that partition to the beginning of the drive, which will consolidate all of the unallocated space into one large block. Afterward, you should be able to create a new partition.
