So i have just done a Brand new clean install of Windows 7. I formatted my Hard drive, so that i could have a back up drive with Windows 7. I have left over space and tryed adding it to Windows 7 Partiton, but it wont let me, So i download Partition Wizard, to try and get windows to take the space but no luck.
What have you tried? Resizing Win7 into the space with Partition Wizard? Did you Apply and have it reboot to do the resizing? Then what happened?
I've never seen Free Space before. Usually it's Unallocated space. Anyone know what it is and how to Resize a Win7 partition into Free space if it won't work with Partition WIzard?
Can you format that green space in Disk Management by right clicking on it?
I think that is just unallocated space within an extended partition. The OP doesn't need an extended partition.
Do it, what can it hurt?
If you do, post a new picture.
Do you want to expand C into that space?
You might need to create new volume with the Free space in order to delete it.
I remember now: this was a smaller free space yesterday that Partition Wizard refused to include in your Win7 partition resizing, right?
How did it grow that big?
Does anyone know what this Free Space is about?
Do you mean to say you want to merge free space from one partition to another? I think it's best to use a partition tool like Parition Magic.
That said their is a shrink volume option in Disk Management. But i haven't tried it that way.
i used the recommend disk space that way says and i get an error message saying,
there is enough enough space on this disk to complete this operation
The OP apparently made an extended partition with a logical drive for whatever reason. Then probably deleted the logical drive, leaving free space.
