    You might be able to do it with Windows Disk Management.

    Can you post a picture of your Disk Management screen so we can see your current partition arrangement?

    Please post back the Disk mgmt screenshot so we can give you the exact steps. Type Disk Mgmt in Start Search box, maximize window, use Snipping Tool in Start Menu to draw a rectangular box around all listings and drive map.

    attach file using paper clip in reply box.

    Unfortunately you have converted your HD to a Dynamic Disk, which was probably offered to you when you attempted to add a fourth partition. Dynamic Disks are meant to span partition on separate HD's, not on the same HD. It would be best to convert it back to Basic.

    In order to extend C you will have to delete or Resize D to make space for C to expand.

    To non-destructively convert Dynamic Disk back to Basic use free Partition Wizard 4.2: click on Disk, then choose Convert Disk to Basic on Disk tab, click OK, then Apply.

    This is only available free in PW v. 4..2 downloaded here: partition wizard 4.2 free.zip - Windows Live

    Next rightclick D partition to Resize, slide left grey border to the right to make room to extend C, click OK.

    Now Resize C, extend right border to right to take up space you made, OK, Apply all steps.

    Always back up your files when doing a conversion or repartitioning.
