Linux/windows dual boot.  
Partition Magic available on the Win side.

On my physical d: drive
I created 2 linux partitions
/ (root) and  /home

How do I merge them back together as 1 partition,
all under /  ?

There are no boot-up issues involved.  I just
want to have 1 partition instead of 2, and I
don't want to accidentally lose data.

Thanks.

If there's enough space, I'd copy the content of /home into the first
partition, delete the second and resize the first. If not, I'd try it in
some steps.
I knew someone merging to partitions - and then reinstalling his
system....

There is room, but at what point do I change
the directory names?  For example, if I create
/home2, and then copy everything into that area.
I would want to at some point change the name
to /home, but when?

I'd copy everything, umount the old /home-partition and then rename
/home2 to /home.

Mind to edit your /etc/fstab, otherwise linux will try to mount /home on
next reboot.
