    Adding the unallocated space into my existing drive


    Hi all,

    My H.D.D is like this (from left to right), first C: drive then unallocated space (about 40GB) then D: drive and then E: drive. Now I want to add this unallocated space into my E: drive without repartitioning the C or D drives. Is there any solution for this?
    My machine is Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.

    Hello khostipi,

    The easiest way would be to back up E somewhere else, and delete E in Disk Management. This would combine the E and "Unallocated" as one "Unallocated" space instead that you could then create a new simple volume with them together now.

    If you do not have anywhere to back up E to, then you could use the free program MiniTool Partition Wizard to do so.

    Extend partition with partition magic software ? MiniTool Partition Wizard.

    or

    How to resize Partition for Windows Server 2000/2003/2008 or Windows XP/7/Vista with partition magic manager software? Move/Resize Partition Help.

    Hope this helps, :)

    You're welcome. Sure, you could use MiniTool to either extend or move C into the unallocated space to combine them.
