Can't extend C drive into unallocated space

[SJFrost2001]

Can't extend C drive into unallocated space. I would like to extend my C drive into some unallocated space but it won't let me

Thanks in advanced

What version of Windows are you using? is the unallocated space before or after the C drive partition, are there any other partitions on the disk?

Hi
0) first schedule chkdsk scan of c:
0a) run Disk Management to see how space is allocated on hard drive
If free space is only a GB or so ignore it

1). The free space must be immediately after C: drive
2) you need to boot up off a bootable usb or cd disk with suitable software
As windows built in disk management won't run on active Windows disk

I would use a gparted ISO image burnt to a cd
It could be put onto a usb memory stick

Although this ISO is a Linux disk in most cases it boots up to a windows like interface then starts up the partition editor software

There is free partition management software from a number of other companies such as paragon, easeus etc most provide a Linux boot disk
