    Issues expanding C partition into Free Space


    Previously I had installed Ubuntu on my laptop but, after running into some issues, had to remove it. After the partition process I ended up with the original partitions the computer came with and a lot of unallocated free space. However, the Windows 7 Disk Management tool will not allow me to expand any of the drives. I would like to enlarge the C partition to use all the available free space but after searching through various threads and articles I cannot figure out how to do so. A screen shot is attached, thanks for any help.

    Hi, welcome to seven forums!
    under programs and features, there should be an uninstall file to ubuntu.
    Also under system>advanced settings there should be somewhere where you can allocate this.

    Hope this helps!

    The partitions need to be unallocated.

    The 393GB free space and the LENOVO partition have a dark green border. LENOVO is logical partition. Together they are in the EXTENDED partition. Just download Partition Wizard HOME. Now run it and do:

    right click C and do move/resize. Make it as large as you want. Now click apply

    Linux is already gone. He boots succesfully in win7 so Error 0xc0000225 on boot isn't the issue as well. The light green space is unallocated space so not a volume at all.

    Yes, and you should be able to shrink the unallocated extended from windows if you wanted, correct ?

    In win7 you can only shrink and extend to the right side....not to the left side. Only volumes can be shrunk or extended.... not partitions as far as I know. Most of the time you format a partition.... so make it a volume.
