You might be able to do it with Windows Disk Management.

Can you post a picture of your Disk Management screen so we can see your current partition arrangement?

Unfortunately you have converted your HD to a Dynamic Disk, which was probably offered to you when you attempted to add a fourth partition. Dynamic Disks are meant to span partition on separate HD's, not on the same HD. It would be best to convert it back to Basic.

In order to extend C you will have to delete or Resize D to make space for C to expand.
 
Dear Sir,
Please tell me how to convert my HD dynamic to basic?
As mention in my picture, I create new partition with the help of shrink volume in drive D. after whole procedure I try to press extend volume in drive C but that was not enable? why
please give me my answer of 2 question.

To non-destructively convert Dynamic Disk back to Basic use free Partition Wizard 4.2: click on Disk, then choose Convert Disk to Basic on Disk tab, click OK, then Apply.

This is only available free in PW v. 4..2 downloaded here: partition wizard 4.2 free.zip - Windows Live

Next rightclick D partition to Resize, slide left grey border to the right to make room to extend C, click OK.

Now Resize C, extend right border to right to take up space you made, OK, Apply all steps.

Always back up your files when doing a conversion or repartitioning.
