Issues expanding C partition into Free Space
Previously I had installed Ubuntu on my laptop but, after running into some issues, had to remove it. After the partition process I ended up with the original partitions the computer came with and a lot of unallocated free space. However, the Windows 7 Disk Management tool will not allow me to expand any of the drives. I would like to enlarge the C partition to use all the available free space but after searching through various threads and articles I cannot figure out how to do so. A screen shot is attached, thanks for any help.

Hi, welcome to seven forums!
under programs and features, there should be an uninstall file to ubuntu. Also under system>advanced settings there should be somewhere where you can allocate this. Hope this helps! ![]() |

The partitions need to be unallocated.
To Remove Linux take look at this post: Error 0xc0000225 on boot |

The 393GB free space and the LENOVO partition have a dark green border. LENOVO is logical partition. Together they are in the EXTENDED partition. Just download Partition Wizard HOME. Now run it and do:
right click C and do move/resize. Make it as large as you want. Now click apply How to resize Partition for Windows Server 2000/2003/2008 or Windows XP/7/Vista with partition magic manager software? Move/Resize Partition Help. |

Linux is already gone. He boots succesfully in win7 so Error 0xc0000225 on boot isn't the issue as well. The light green space is unallocated space so not a volume at all.

Yes, and you should be able to shrink the unallocated extended from windows if you wanted, correct ?

In win7 you can only shrink and extend to the right side....not to the left side. Only volumes can be shrunk or extended.... not partitions as far as I know. Most of the time you format a partition.... so make it a volume.

Expanding partition into free space - but it's not letting me? In a stroke of genuine, so-real-it's-true, lovingly human idiocy, I allotted myself a measly 50 GB for my Windows installation and program files! Naturally I wanted to extend this, but right ahead of the Windows partition on the drive was an Ubuntu install which took up the entire rest of the... |
