how to resize my win7 partition

[adicontakt]

i read all the topics from here but i am unable to resize my win 7 partition .
i think the problem is that the free space is in the extended partition . how to get the free space from the extended partition without erase or format the other partition (D and E)

I try a lot of programs but no one works becouse the free space is inside the extended partition

download something like Acronis Disk Director and re-size the extended partition to move the free space outside of it.

Sassa that's a different problem.

With only 3 partitions none of them were "extended".

Yes, but he can find a guidance there...

In "Disk Management", you can just delete the empty partition. It will be shown as unallocated space behind the W7 partition. Then you can just extend the Windows 7 volume with that unallocated space by right clicking on the empty space and extend volume.

Before you restart/reboot, read the following link regarding boot recovery, if any:

He can only disregard first sentence, cause he already have free space...

Sassa, it won't work. Because the free space is inside the extended partition.

That method only works if you delete one of the primary partitions which he does not want to do.

Grab a copy of Ubutnu and run it in the live mode ... use gparted to resize your partition, reboot into windows 7... problem solved ... if this method wont fix it, it cant be fixed...

gparted can't do it either. He needs Acronis. The free trial lets you make a bootable USB recovery device as far as I'm aware.

You can convert logical partition into primary, which I think is going to be part of the solution here.

i'll try it

also, if you move the boot manager to the C: drive, make it "active", you can delete that 100MB partition if you aren't using bitlocker to encrypt your system drive.

because a 100MB partition is a waste of a primary partition.

i solved the problem with acronis but with some bad things . after i boot with acronis disk director the program change the letters from my drive and the 100 mb hidden partion become active one with letter C . after i rebboot the system didn"t reconize the windows , and a error come on the screen (MBR missing) . i tryied to repaire with windows dvd but was ussles. a booted again with acronis but the change letter option was deactivated , so i reinstalll th OS again . now everthing is fine
so solved
