[Elvis Hbpbgrtnk]

I havings 1TB hard drive on computer with C partition and D data partition. C too small running out of space. Disk have lot of unused space.

I goings to partition manager and extend volume gray. I no can click on it.

The disk cleanup won't enable you to extend the volume, it just tires to free space.

First, make sure you have a backup or image of the system before doing anything with the disk.

Once you have a backup, try using Easus partition manager to extend the volume.

Where is the space? When you look in disk manager, the empty space has to be directly to the right of the C partition.

OK. I do another backup and try program.

Free space on the other side. It have recovery 14.18gb, Win7C 372.60, Data D 193.49 and then 351.23 free space.

Before all I wantinged was shrink D a little and give to C little mores. Instead it shrink D lots and put free space on wrong side and too much.

backup D drive. Delete the d drive, Then extend the C drive(leaving enough space for the D drive. Then re-add the D drive and restore it from the backup.

You could format the free space and make it drive E:.

Then copy the files from D: to E:.

Now delete the D: partition and extend C:.

I is back. Had to go get haircut and store and let copying run while I wented away.

I copied D data to backup externul drive, deleted old D, extinded C it finally working!, remade D data and move data back. Wipe out wrong data on externul hard drive. It take long time but it work.

Only one question left. It makinged 95.83g unallocated. Why that? Is this good or bad thing. It between C and D. If space empty maybe that not good place for it.

I is thanking many peoples for good ideas.
