How do I increase size of C:Drive by partitioning D:Drive
Hi I'm not very familiar with HDDs and partition software so if there is an explanation, doing it in plain English or step by step would be appreciated.
Windows 7 32 bit
My boot drive and the one with most off my stuff is C but it only has around 25GBs out of 97GB left. My D drive currently has around 360GB/368GB free and I'd like to resize it and merge the unallocated space with C drive. I tried using the built in Windows disk manager and after no success I downloaded 'EaseUS partition manager' but it runs into the exact same problem as windows:
I can resize D drive and make some unallocated space, for example decreasing D by 10GB and getting the same amount as unallocated space but on both the downloaded and windows partition manager I cannot merge the unallocated space with C drive. It doesn't give me an error it just doesn't appear as an option. I can merge the unallocated space back with D drive and restore it to original size but I can't add it to C. Curiously I can merge C with the whole of D drive as an option (but I'm not going to do that). Here's a screenie of the downloaded software I'll put more info on if requested. Any help would be awesome as my C drive free space is shrinking rapidly due to game patches etc...
E: is just a partition from D: I made. It can remerge with D but it cannot do so with C. As you can see, when I tick the box of E: to merge the C: box instantly greys out. Last image is a screenshot from Windows disk management, here I've gotten rid of E: by merging it back with D:.
