Solved Problem adding space to my C drive???

[provlima]

Low country friend,
Tried to with the boot version and still could not acoomplish expanding G
This is what it looks like now. Its been very frustrating. Is there anything else you can suggest to combine the free space with the G data partition with the current arrangement of my HD??

Sorry Jim, I'm at a loss; is all the data on G: ok, no issues / loss?

 

[provlima]

all the data is on G, was trying to combine the 100GB free space with the G partition with no success.
I guess I'll just have to live with the 217GB partition for all my data, and the loss of 100GB of potential space use.
You have been very kind and patient with sharing your expertise and time and for that I am very appreciative.
Thanks again friend!!
Jim

Post a snip of the installed Partition Wizard so I can see what it sees.

good morning!
here is the screenshot

Hello.


While there, you can't right click G: and drag the left border all the way to the left and "Apply"?

 

[provlima]

Friend...that is the crux of the problem
As you can see on the before and after screenshots below the unallocated 101.39GB is moving from the right of G to its left and not combining with the G space to expand the G drive to 319GB which is my objective.
thanks for your help!

I don't know if this will work or not.


Go ahead and move it all to the left and apply and do all the steps so the Free Space will be on the right of G:, restart the PC then see if all the Free Space is to the right in Windows 7 disk management then see if disk management will extend G: into the Free Space.




This whole silly thing makes no sence at all. :shock:

Dejavu.. moved the free space to the right.... and the windows extend option is again greyed out ...I guess the PC has gotten the best of me...it refuses to budge

I'm completely at a loss now mate.

solved the problem!! Thank you my friend

Hi friend,
I wanted to get back to you and let you know I finally solved the problem which has been frustrating us both. Long story short I applied what you taught me earlier in the thread about the Diskpart tool and was able to extend the G (Data) disk to unallocated volume on the right of it. I also tried the free Easyus partition manager but got the same frustrating results as Partition Wizard, then decided to try Diskpart.
I now have a 498GB Data drive. I can't thank you enough for helping me!!
Your friend from Maryland
Jim
