    Don't select "merge". You use "Move/Resize" to first shrink and move D: to the right and then you can expand C:
    Here is a link to the process at PM.

    The example is exactly what you want to do.

    He doesn't want to D: to the right, he wants to add space to C: so he has to resize the left of D: to do that.

    I gave him the example in my post #20.

    Same thing I said only not the same wording. That's why I gave the link. PW example at that link is exactly what he wants.

    BFK is the expert on this and knows what he is doing. But, the way I read it, Phoneman was doing the same thing, just going about it in a different order. It seems he would have ended up in the same place either way.

    Now look at Step One of this tutorial at the link below to get an out-line of how to resize the left side of D: to create "Unallocated" space that C: can then be expanded into.

    Yeah, but I have my own tutorial showing how to do it.

    Sorry, I really did not want to start a class war. But it usually best to follow one line of thought - else an OP will get easily confused.

    Is it safe to use?
    Also I have TrueCrypt to Encrypt files and partitions and I obviously have to keep the software to get back into the whatever is encrypted, I don't mind I was wondering if partition wizard is safe to use on my OEM hard drive and can I delete the software afterwards without repercutions or is it safer to keep the software installed?
    If you have data encrypted on your drive, BEFORE you change any partitions, I would remove the encryption or you really risk not being able to get back to your
    data.
    Remember the three most important words in computers.
