Hard drive reorganization

[FlamingMike]

Yo! I have recently bought my new pc and when I was done i turned it on and installed windows. I allocated 250gb to the C drive, 250 to the D and 200 to the E drive. I have a seagate 1TB and It didnt allow me to create a new disk so i can allocate the remaining 300gb to a drive. First I thought it will just create one by itself and allocate the remaining 300gb to it but unfortunately it didn't. Is there a way where I can use the remaining 300gb? Maybe add each 100gb to a drive or make a new disk?

you can only have 3 partitions and one extended partition on a hard drive. in this day and age it is not a good idea and is better to use separate drives so if one fails you don't lose your data on the other partitions...

Hi there FlamingMike,

My advise would be to just allocate the space to the already existing partitions.
Your other option would be to create an extended partition. Here's a tutorial on that: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/146694-partition-extended-logical-drives.html

Is there any way to add them to the C drive?

I suppose the unallocated space is not next to C: right?(you can check that out in Disk Management) In that case, you will need to use some third party partition management tool.
