Hi all,
thank you very much for your great suggestions. Especially FIPS and
Partition Resizer. I tried both, but I am only able to resize partitions
with these programs and not to merge two partions to one.
I'll try GParted and hope it will do it well.
Thanks a lot.

DS: If I were trying to increase 500 mb to 4 gig I'd do it this way.
I'd use Norton Ghost(2001) to copy the 500mb partition to a suitable
formatted cf chip.
In reality, here is what I do:
My setup is a 320gb hd. 1st partition is 2.0gb for Compaq DOS 5.0
(all my machines are compaq sff desktops); 2nd partition is 9g, for
FreeDOS, The rest of hard drive contains Ubuntu 14.04 LXDE. I boot to
the LXDE (remove unwanted files-usually downloads and test
installations of shareware that I dont't like, then I zip my dos
systems, then boot into xfdisk and the boot manager, and reformat and
then back to the LXDE to unzip my archived systems on the new
partition. The final step is to update grub. I've done this several
times with numerous drives and I''ve never had data loss .

I'd then use fdisk to remove the old partitions and fdisk to make a new
4gig
partition. Remember to make the partition active and to then run
fdisk/mbr to get
a fresh mbr then format the drive. Then I'd use Ghost to copy the cf chip
back to the harddrive or
just buy a cf adapter and run the cf chip instead of the harddrive.
cheers

Gparted will not do it properly. You will not lose data, but
FreeDOS
will not report the correct size of the new partition. I have
found
only one thing that works:
Partition Resizer available here:
http://www.opus.co.tt/dave/utils.htm
The link from Dave's site is broken here.
The direct link - http://www.zeleps.com/ - works.
That's even worse, it redirects to an attack web site these
days...
H. I use Firefox, which uses a Google maintained list of attack
sites. I had no problem accessing it the first time.
But I run Firefox with the NoScript addon that blocks scripting
unless
the site is in a user maintained whitelist. With scripting off,
there's nary a peep from FF. When I *enable* scripting, I get the
warning screen, talking about tzdpc.com.
PRESZ134.ZIP is available from a number of sources:
http://www.filewatcher.com/m/presz134.zip.100192-0.html, so zeleps
status isn't a problem.
