Free space taking over HD

Did you or didn't you create a simple volume in that green space as you said you could 15 minutes ago?

He had another OS that he deleted and tried to recover the space into Win7.

The partitioning failed during reboot leaving original partitions hanging in the middle of the HD.

He resized Win7 back over to the first of the drive, and Backup over to the right where he wanted it.

Partition Wizard completed these tasks while leaving the strange Free Space at the end of the Win7 partition. When he attempts to recover it into Win7 using PWiz it grows each time.

These were Primary parts all along.

Do I have this right, Mitch?

Does anyone think this is failed partitioning that might need reimaging of HD with his Win7 backup image? I believe the image was taken before partitioning. Will check the old thread.

i dident because i use the space that it put in automatically, and i get error not enough space

I have no idea what you are trying to do.

If you are trying to get rid of the green space and let C take over that space, you can do that with the diskpart command.

But I am not going there in this thread.

I think thats right LOL not good with partiton stuff

I found this in the old thread from after you installed Win7, but before you deleted Vista and moved Win7 into that space.

I just notice that it was an extended partition where Vista was deleted and Backup was created. This might be causing the problem?



It isn't showing extended now, just Free Space.

Any suggestions?

Use Diskpart to clean Free Space as is? Then what do you suggest. Try extending Win7 again?

In Disk Management, rt click the Extended partition and select Delete:



You will then have Unallocated space on the right of the partition you wish to extend.

Rt click the partition you wish to extend and select how much.

SIW2 is here now looking at the thread.

Can he delete the Extended partition, create a new one for a new Backup Image and recover the rest into Win7?

He needs a primary part at the end of his drive for image (No external).

Can he save the image he's got somehow?

it wont let me deleted it
