Once you delete a second partition on your hard drive and there is only blank space how do you enlarge the original "Macintosh HD" to cover the entire hard drive space?

I just delete a partition on my drive and wanted to 1 either enlarge my original partition to cover the entire space, or 2 create a new partition in the free space. The problem is when I attempt to drag down the Macintosh HD partition and hit apply nothing happens. When i try to partition the free space (80 gigs) I hit apply and the new partition is only 200 mb with the 79 gigs still free space... HELP PLEASE.

Ah...so you've now learned why it's best not to change your mind after partitioning the bootup volume. 
As far as I know, there's no "built-in" way to recover the free space after deleting a partition.
You're probably looking at third party software to accomplish what you're looking for.  Here's one:

I can't speak to how well it works....I've never used it.  But, according to the site, it will do what you need it to do.
I hope this helps.
