Without going into all the gory details about how it happened, I suddenly have about a 13 GB partition on my hard drive -- completely blank. Is there any way to combine it with the main partition with tools inside Windows (as opposed to buying software for it)? Thanks!

Nope. But this software is fairly cheap. Partition Commander and/or Partition Magic are worth looking at. To make use of that 13BG in the same partition might be good for your system.
Compare:
Partition Commander $49.95

Partition Magic $69.99

Good luck and Happy Computing

you are able to strengthen a partition notably wisely.. equipment like Partition Magic or Acronis paintings nicely for that even in spite of the shown fact that the information in the area being prolonged into gets deleted. the perfect selection is to verify you have backup of all vital information first. Then circulate your data ( as much as attainable ) from the D: to the C:. After that boot to a disk with Partition Magic and strengthen the C: partition.

Not that I know of.
Partition Magic is supposed to be a good tool for this type of problem.
Good Luck

it can't be done inside of windows. The reason is that a partition editor can't act on files that are in-use. before you do any resizing, make sure you back-up your data!
this site has a list of options:

it looks like you can do it with Knoppix, a Linux Boot cd too:

Of course you can reformat, delete the partition and combine them. You can also do this with Knoppix.
