    Re-sizing a partition doesn't resize...


    Hi,

    The harddrive looks like:


    Basically, I want to take all 244GB of space from the "New Volume (R:) and put it onto the OS (C:) drive so that it's 3xxGB instead of 116GB

    I'm using Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12 Suite and when I tell it to redistribute space it allows me to set the C drive to 361GB but leaves a 96mb "New Volume (R:)" partition behind as shown:



    I would be happy with that if it worked because I could just allocate the R drive and lose only 96MB, however if I press apply the program sits there for ages just "Check file system" and never changes... as shown:



    How can I reallocate the space back to the C drive correctly?

    Does it have data on it ?

    If not then..... In Disk Management

    Right click the partition, choose delete volume. Then, right click on C and choose extend volume.

Since I'm not an expert at present, I can't do a lot to help others in this forum solve their problems. So I figure that the most helpful thing I can do is post enough information that hopefully others can learn from my experiences. That's why I'm putting so much documentation into this thread. ...
Can't resize my partition

I'm trying to resize my C: partition so that I can create a separate 160 GB partition, but all of the options on MiniTool Partition Wizard are greyed out.
