Can't attribute free space to C: Drive

[noobpwnr]

Hi,
When i bought my computer i created a partition from the main disk(D: ), but recently i deleted it and i cant reatribute the free space to the C: drive.

Im using windows disk management. Anyone knows a workaround?

it has become Unallocated Space now. Do the following and create a new partition:

Step 1
Click the "Start" button, right-click "Computer" and choose "Manage."

Step 2
Click "Disk Management" from the left pane of the Computer Management window to access drive management tools.

Step 3
Right-click "Unallocated Space" from the graphical hard drive display and select "New Simple Volume."

Step 4
Click "Next" three times until you get to the formatting screen. By default, NTFS is selected. Click "Next" to allocate the space to a new partition and format it.

The thing is, what i want is to Allocate it to expand the C drive space.And that creates a new drive.

Use the free Home version of EaseUS at http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Free-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html
Firstly, you have to "create" a partition using the unallocated space. Then merge the two partitions into one (C: drive).

As a Hint: Once you choose the action it doesn't happen right away. You will get a notice that "action pending" or something similar. You Then have to click "Apply", which isn't real obvious.

Or see if this works for you in case of unallocated space:

1. Open the Start Menu (or press Win+R), enter diskmgmt.msc, then press Enter.
2. Right-click on C: and select Extend Volume.
3. Use the wizard to add the free space to the volume.
