Partitioning Puzzle--Wish to move logical root data to sda1

[SweetAction22]

Originally, windows was in the first partition, got rid of that, and now i wish just to make one large partition of LL... is this possible?

Here is a pic of my layout::



I see that there is a a copy partition action I can utilize somehow, so i was thinking of copying sda5 and move it into the newly created slot at the beginning and getting rid of the extended all together, ---just having one partition, and yes, the swap.

However, to do this, i needed to increase the size of the unallocated space in the beginning, but i was unable to change the size of the extended partition.  So really, the way I was thinking is hopeless.

Can anyone help? ... You can label me as a newb ... I've searched the forums and Internet, and didn't really find what I was looking for.... but if it's already been mentioned .. just point me in the right direction..

*Actually, now looking at it, i see the data I want to move is only 18G which would fit into the unallocated 25G... don't know why i didn't see this before
-so I wouldn't have to move, just copy and paste the partition...right?...Idk

Thanks
