How to merge hard disk partitions if they are in different places?
HDD broke as follows:
How to combine these 2 partitions (840 and 820 GB) that are on the "edges" of the disk into one large partition? I plan to use it in Windows to store distributions, movies, photos, and other data. Windows is loaded from other carrier in general. Ubuntu should also be installed on this disk, as it is now in the middle.
Please advise if this can be done? Or is it easier to repartition a new disk? If you repartition, how is it more correct?
Thank you!

Since your NTFS partitions are empty, the easiest thing to do would be to delete sdb1, move sdb2-sdb5 to the left, and stretch sdb6 to the rest of the space.
It is highly recommended to backup Ubuntu to another drive before starting.
You just have to boot from a flash drive or live-cd.
1. I boot from LiveCD. (Guys, I didn't specify - those big partitions sdb1 and sdb6 - they are EMPTY, there is no data!)
point 1 is the most important. I forgot about it, without LiveCD nothing would have happened.
2. Disable paging. The swap partition is unlocked.
3. And then I click "Move or resize"
4. And you can just move the partition anywhere (I moved them to the RIGHT, to the end.)
5. The system boots as before.
