    Thanks Brink.

    I am not at that computer right now, but i illustrated how it looks like.

    The Extend Option on E: is greyed out.
    Please post an unaltered screenshot. This is covering up to much to tell.

    All I see in this screenshot is one D: partition on Disk 1, and no actual E: or unallocated space that you altered.

    I am illustrating the actual SS.
    I'll do so tonight again then.

    Anyway, y does shrinking 1tb of free space end up with 2 unallocated spaces of 256gb and 752gb?

    It depends on what order the partitions were shrunk, but you should be able to delete E: to have the last two partitions combine as one unallocated space that you should then be able to create a new partition with. :)

    Haha Brink! THANKS!

    You reply is exactly what i am looking for. I see that you get my illustration now. :P

    So assuming i deleted E: the unallocated space will become approx 900gig(combined) instead of reverting back to 256gig and 756gig(2 separate unallocated space)?

    Any chance that the 256gig(E: when deleted) will combine with D:? and leave that 756gig unallocated intact?

    Yep, when you delete E: it will become unallocated space that will merge with the current adjacent unallocated space to be one 900 GB unallocated space to the right of the D: partition. :)

    Thanks a lot!

    But just curious, y did they divide it in the first place when i shrink 1tb of free space(into 200+ and 700+)?

    Reading from the tutorial you posted earlier, it was mentioned about pagefile and some unmovable stuff. but in my case, the ratio is a bit weird? no?

    In that case, you must have created the partitions in some other order.

    You could delete I: as well to make one large unallocated partition, create a new one large partition, then shrink it by how much you want the 2nd partition to be. However, you would have to find a location to save what's on I: until finished.

    One option would be to use the free Partition Wizard Home Edition to move/resize the two unallocated spaces to be one new partition. This way you don't have to do anything with the data on I:.
