    Reclaiming an un-used partition


    Some time ago I partitioned my drive and I now have 4 separate partitions,I no longer use one of these partitions which is currently set as drive E: and I would like to claim the space back and add it to my C: drive.

    I have tried going through some of the tutorials that are online but can't seem to work out how to complete the process.

    I would appreciate it if someone could walk me through this process.

    When I originally partitioned the drive I used Easeus Partition manager.

    If you have a partition between the 2, you can`t merge them. Post the shot and we can help you. :)

    You should be able to just delete e and extend c.

    I use Partition Wizard.

    You can use Disk Mgmt to extend C once you delete E:
    Partition or Volume - Delete
    Partition or Volume - Extend

    OK thanks,,,I was gonna try that but got a little worried in case I would never see the space again.
    Will be trying to attempt this operation tomorrow so if I have any problems I will give you guys a shout again.
    Hopefully I won't be needing to..and if I don't then I will say Thanks for you help with this matter in advance.
