add unallocated space on one hdd (Extend greyed out)

Hi all

I've just got rid of my Samsung recovery partition data and made the space unallocated. I want to add this free space to the C;\Drive partition, but the extend option on the context menu for C is greyed out.

I assume it's because there is a tiny partition in-between the other two, please see image.

Could someone give me some advice on how to do this please?

Use free Partition Wizard from the above link.

You can't do it with Windows Disk Management because the unallocated space is to the left of C. The tiny partition in between doesn't make any difference. Windows Disk Management would work ONLY if the unallocated space was immediately adjacent and to the right of C.

Ignatz, since he wants to extend the C partition, he has to use the bootable CD - I think.

You might be right. Or does the regular version just make the change on the next boot, like checkdisk?

I'm not sure either.

Hi guys thanks for the replies.

I downloaded the iso file in the top link "mini tool partition wizard" it downloaded "pwfree9.iso"

I then mounted it using gizmo and ticked "autoplay afterwards" but it doesn't. There's no .exe file to start the program so I can burn a cd/dvd bootable disc using the program.

I even burnt the iso image and tried accessing an ,exe from disc with no joy either!

What am I doing wrong?...Thanks

Hi

I booted up with the disc but got stuck, as I guessed I had to merge the partitions together, but the prog says it won't work with "Home"! Please see images. (Looks as if I have to pay for the program

The unallocated space is NOT a partition.

You want to ADD that space to a partition.

You aren't trying to MERGE anything.

Explore the menus to discover how to add space to or expand a partition, NOT merge.
