If the 7 Gb partition is on the same disk you could try this tutorial How to Extend a Partition or Volume in Windows 7 | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number My own abomination OS Windows 7 Professional x 64 CPU Intel i7 2600K @ 3.40 GHz Motherboard ASUS Sabertooth P67 Memory Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600MHz CL8 Dual Channel Kit Graphics Card Asus ENGTX570 GeForce GTX 570 1280MB GDDR5 PCI-E w/ Dual DVI Sound Card Onboard Realtek or Nvidia High Definition Audio (HDMI) Monitor(s) Displays Sharp 42" LCD TV ( 5 HDMI and VGA inputs ) Screen Resolution 1366 X 768 Keyboard Logitech Wireless Illuminated Keyboard K800 Mouse Logitech M515 Wireless Couch Mouse PSU Corsair TX 850W Power Supply w/ 140mm Fan Case Cooler Master HAF 932 High Air Flow Full Tower Chassis Cooling Zalman CNPS10X FLEX CPU Cooler & 2 Thermalright Silent Fans Hard Drives Intel SSD 330 Series SATA III Solid State Drive, 120GB Internet Speed 100 Mbps Antivirus Kapersky Internet Security 2013 Browser (Primary) Firefox 19.0.2, Chrome & IE 10 Other Info LG Super Multi Blue Internal Blu-ray Disk Rewriter - BH10LS30 |

depending on where on the disk that free space is placed, you will have to use different programs. With Disk Management you can only extend a partition if the space is to the right of that partition. Else you can use : BEST FREE Partition Manager Software for Windows supports all 32-bit & 64 bit Windows No-server OS.
If you post a picture of your Disk Management, we will be able to give you more detailed guidance. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

I tried that, but did not work ..
The unallocated is on the left of main Partition ...so the "extend" option is GRAY out . | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Sony Vaio VPC-SE23FXS OS WDS 7 Home Pre.x64 CPU Intel Core i5 2450M @ 2.50GHz Memory 8GB Kingston[2x4] Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 1333MHz Graphics Card AMD Radeon(TM) HD 6470M + Intel(R) HD Graph 3000 Hard Drives TOSHIBA MK6459GSXP 600GB x 5400RPM (SATA) |

Try Partition Wizard, that works. I always recommend to burn the bootable CD (on the left of their page. That is handy because you are independent of the OS. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |
