There's a problem here... Both of these spaces are in the extended partition, which already contains 3 logical partitions. At most you can only have 4 logical partitions in an extended partition, so will only be able to make one partition from them. That means you've got precious disk space that's going to be wasted -- at least 1004 megabytes of it. If you can manage it, you'd be better off making a backup, repartitioning and reinstalling. And this time, put your partitions end-to-end so any left over space is contiguous instead of fragmented like it is currently.
