Ok, I deleted the partitions, but how do I allocate the unused space to the main drive?

 

EDIT: lots of clicking was the fix! Thanks man!

I pulled my hard drive out of my old laptop to use as an external one for media, but I see that it shows up as 3 separate hard drives. I've tried wiping it with ccleaner and reformatting it/them but they still show up as 3 separate drives. What can I do to make it show up as just one?
