Hey everyone! I'm having issues with some unallocated space Windows won't let me extend C: with. I have tried Partition Wizard and all they will let me do is create a simple volume. Little confused on how to get Windows to let me extend C: using those two unallocated spaces.

Windows Disk Management should let you add the 9 mb unallocated to F only and the 103 mb unallocated to D only.

If you want to add those spaces to any other partition such as C, you would need Partition Wizard. Not sure where you are going wrong with it.

I think there are tutorials for it on this site and I know there are at Partition Wizard's web site.

It is certainly possible but why bother. The disk space you would gain is totally insignificant, about .02%.

I would do what Ignatz says - it's so simple. Cleans up the disk management picture.
