I had Ubuntu installed on this partition (when I installed Windows it became unbootable). I've tried having Windows make a drive in the space and formatting it, but it won't let me extend my C: drive onto it. Here's a screenshot of my drive.
I think only a third party partition manager can extend the C drive by including the unallocated space without deleting the data on the C drive. Just my guess because this is how it used to be.
Please try out a third party partition manager boot disk for the job.

Hi jelly
make an image of your system before triying the suggested responses.
Good luck.
Download the Partition Wizard ISO and burn it to a blank disc, then boot into it.
Partition Wizard : Use the Bootable CD
Extend C to the left to take up the unallocated space, apply the change, and then boot back into Windows.
Thanks everyone! I used EASEUS Partition Master and it worked perfectly. I made a system image, but everything went smoothly.
Pleased to hear it and thanks for the update.
