Hi there leachers1,

It may be a good idea to just back up the crucial data stored on the drive before dealing with partitions.
After that, you can just use some third party partition management tool and add the small partition to the bigger one. I doubt that you will be able to do that only with Windows, without the help of a tool.
Here's a thread on that: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/51389-63-good-free-disk-partition-software

Hope this will help,

My advice is to do nothing and just let things remain as they are. In the scheme of things the 299 MB partition takes up a rather trifling amount of disk-space and should cause you no problems in the future. You might just wish to use Disk Management to delete that partition (volume) so that the disk-space remains unallocated.

There's a strong likelihood that third-party partition management programs (and certainly NOT the freely available versions) will not be able to merge that existing partition with the disk's C:\ partition since it is not adjacent to the latter partition. And you can run into serious problems manipulating partitions with these programs. It's just not worth it in your case I would think.
