In a word, no.
Hoiwever, it is always prudent to back up anything you don't want to lose whenever you are undertaking any form of disk management.

Any help very much appreciated Problem is that you have no unallocated space - only 'freespace'. The partition in which the freespace is you have to delete. Then you can extend the partition (new volume) that is immediately to the left of it. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops

But if it does not, try Partition Wizard.
