Assuming one partition:
Boot from rescue
Preferably, backup:-)
e2fsck -a -f /dev/hda1
fdisk /dev/hda
# delete partition 1, create a new primary parition
resize2fs /dev/hda1
You can resize a partition to use free space immediately "above" it.
You cannot combine partitions.
You cannot resize a partition to use free space below it or disjoint.
If you're using LVM this is all nonsense:-)
