I am running a Win 7 64-bit machine with an extra HD (F: in my screenshot). I have been reading and found the help I needed to delete an added partition and extend it to my D drive but my C is in the red.

My son is usually my personal geek but he is deployed and can't help me. I am totally paranoid about using command line so if there is another solution then that would be my first preference.

I have downloaded the Partition Wizard but wanted a bit of direction before I go off and tear something up.

Thank you in advance,

Did you download the bootable version from the bottom of this link?

Free download Magic Partition Manager Software, partition magic alternative, free partition magic, partition magic Windows 7 and server partition software - Partition Wizard Online

If it's D that you want to delete, you are going to have to find some other place to put the data on it temporarily.

Looks like D has over 200 GB of data. Where can you put that temporarily? Won't fit on F?

Or do you want to delete some other partition?

You can't extend C onto F.

You can move space from D to C, but D would remain, albeit smaller.

"You can move space from D to C, but D would remain, albeit smaller."

This is exactly what I want to do. Do I need the bootable version for this or can it be achieved in Windows and I just haven't figured it out?

I could move all the data from D if necessary but I really want to just push a few Gigs over to C.

The bootable version is preferred here.

I would not begin the operation unless I had everything on D backed up somewhere.

Bootable PW is highly reliable, but safety first.

Ok I have that. While I was waiting I followed their directions but my unallocated space didn't show up between C and D. It's after D. I am sure I'm just missing something relevant in their step-by-step. Will keep banging away at it.
