How to merge two disks into one

How to merge two disks into one without losing information? I have a C: drive and the operating system is installed on it. There are two more disks E: and F:, that's exactly what I want to combine into one disk, but there is information on both disks. This means that with the help of the built-in tools of Windows 7, I cannot do this. Or I can, but I need to transfer the information from the F: drive and delete it, then attach the resulting unallocated space to the E: drive, as a result I will have one large E: drive.

In short, there is a lot of information on both disks and it is quite difficult to transfer it anywhere, I do not have a portable hard disk. I found articles on your site about the free partition manager "", these articles have almost everything: how to create a partition, increase, decrease, and most importantly, all this happens without loss of information, that is, before working with the program, information does not need to be transferred anywhere. You don’t have only an article on how to combine two disks into one, I think that a large audience of your resource will be grateful to you for such an article. Gleb.
