1. It is possible to locate files that had been deleted or recover files on HDD that's been formatted/reformatted. I've never seen it done before until a few days ago. All these files are hidden somewhere on HDD (I don't know much about it technically) and are waiting to be recovered. The app used to do all this is called "Active@Undelete".

2. if you want to unite the partitions all your data on both partitions are going to be erased you may want to purchase partition management software like partition magic
3. You have a couple of options that'll do the trick: 1. If you have 80 gb of free space on your internal hard drive, then you could move all of the data from your external hard drive partitions onto your internal drive. Then you could use the fdisk command to remove the partitions from your external drive and create a single 80gb partition, and then copy the data back from your internal drive to the external drive. Be sure to make a backup first though - it's easy to make a fatal mistake with the fdisk command and accidentally format the wrong hard drive (speaking from painful personal experience). 2. Purchase a partition management program like Partition Commander or Disk Director. Both are reputable programs that'll let you move or delete partitions without losing your data (see links below for reviews on both of these programs). This last approach is a lot easier route to go, and money well spent.
