So I managed to really mess things up, and the internet is yielding no answers.

I wanted to get rid of my apps2sd partition, so I simply though I could go in Windows and delete ext partition, and reunite the two SD partitions into one big FAT32 family. But now all it did was make the ext partition into a "unallocated" partition, and for the life of me can't figure out how to make it one big FAT32 partition.

I've googled for over an hour for a utility that works on Vista/Windows 7, haven't found anything.

Ideas?

Windows cannot see ext partitions, so for the most part, it doesnt even know its there.

Do this:

1) Backup contents of the fat32 partition of your sd card
2) Drop to recovery
3) In amon_ra recovery, partition your sdcard for 0 swap, 0 ext and remainder fat32.

Awesome! I thought I was just going to lose yet another 500MB to recursive partitioning

Slowly learning how all this stuff works...

For future reference, I'm pretty sure gparted can do nondestructive repartitioning, so you could just try an ubuntu livecd.
Note: it's always advisable to back up your data before the process even if it's supposed to be "nondestructive". Things do go wrong.

Good point, but I didn't have a LiveCD on me. I'll note that for future reference.
