Open Disk Fragmenter - Configure Schedule - Select Disks - can you see C there? Is it selected if so?

 

[fay]

No I still don't see C drive .

Is it a solid state drive ?

 

[fay]

No its a seagate sata 1tb. Should I be worried?

Looks like it worked. C is now one big drive, although I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. But why is C not in Disk Defrag

I wouldn`t have a 931 GB drive totally dedicated to windows, but that`s what you wanted

I wouldn`t worry, I`d work on it til it shows up in Disk Defragmenter.

Have you rebooted ?

 

[fay]

It rebooted after partition wizard ran. Should I reboot again?

 

[AddRAM]

Why not

Just keep working on it.

Having a big drive totally dedicated to windows is not what I wanted. I just wanted the unallocated space back. I'm not really sure how to partition drives.

i rebooted, but still no C drive in disk defrag

Learn how to use Partition Wizard, it`s simple and works great.

C drive is in disk defrag once again. I rebooted and ran chkdsk, took a while too. Is it because my c drive is bigger now?
Everything seems in order now. Thank you everyone for your help. Is there a thanks button on this site where I can thank everyone?

I am also going to check out the partition wizard thoroughly and learn how to use it.

Yes, I would believe it is because C is larger now. Good to know all is sorted. Make sure to backup your C before attempting anything with Partition Wizard. My experience with it is pleasant but you can never know.
