I would recommend that you delete the second partition (if there are no data stored), then recreate it with Partition Magic or Windows own tools, then format the second partition with the same filesystem as the first, and finally merge the two partitions in Partition Magic. (I don't know how good PM is at this, as I do partitioning only with 'linux', don't trust windows tools.)

Edit: Ooops, I see, obviously 'testdisk' may have already deleted the second partition, but check it with 'Search!'. This will show the 2nd part, if it isn't deleted. If it's gone you can continue with creating the 2nd partition.
