Kpssst Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Unfortunately you can only extend partitions if there is unallocated space directly to the right of it if you're using the default Windows partitioner. The only way to do what you want would be the use a 3rd party partitioner.

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted January 7, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 7, 2010 Solution: Back up all data on D:, delete the partition, extend C:. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/863476-extend-my-partition/#findComment-592083948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knightwolf20024 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 use the windows 7 disc and go through the install process to the point where u need to select a drive instead of that go to advance options and extend the parition you want.

mrp04 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 You will have to shift the D partition to the right, moving all unallocated space between C and D. Then you can extend C into that space.

Glen Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Just as an FYI to anyone else needing to extend / move / alter partitions on their drive... The free version of EASEUS Partition Master does not support 64-bit XP / Vista / 7 editions, only the 32-bit versions are supported unless you purchase the professional edition. However, Partition Wizard (mentioned by geeman89) does support the 64-bit versions of XP / Vista / 7 with its free version. I recently used Partition Wizard to recover unused space allocated before (to the left of) the C: partition, which you cannot do using the built-in partition manager in Windows 7, and it worked great. Took about 3 clicks, and an hour of processing, and it was done. For more information, compare the two applications and the features they offer with each version: EASEUS Partition Manager - Compare Editions Compare Editions - Partition Wizard Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/863476-extend-my-partition/#findComment-592085878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoshi Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 search at Google for "gparted" it should support the latest NTFS its a bootable CD freeware, you boot from it, slide the D: drive to the end so that the space is in the middle, it will then let you resize the C: partition Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/863476-extend-my-partition/#findComment-592086336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoy10 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I downloaded partition wizard home edition to resize my system partition on my desktop. Unfortunately, it corrupted my hard drive. I had to use a free data recovery software to recover my data. After that, it took me much time to reinstall my OS and application. It is my pain. I downloaded easeus partition master home edition to extend system partition on my laptop, it worked well. --------------------------------------------- Resize,Create, Format,Convert........

+BudMan MVC Posted January 8, 2010 MVC Share Posted January 8, 2010 Dude this is the exact example I went over in your other thread... https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=860186 In that thread I told you your options -- use 3rd party or change your disk to dynamic.. I even gave you a screen shot of a dynamic disk and the partition be extended across disjointed sections.
