I have two partitions Disk 0 and Disk 1

[dalene46]

I dont know why, but when i buy new computer they always make the C: so small u cannot add anything on.. I want to work with visual basic and it takes up the whole drive.. I have uninstalled it now.. but still the drive is full.. I want to allocate some space from Disk1 (D drive) to Disk 0 (C drive). I cannot expand Disk 0 as the option is not open to select expand only open on Disk 1 which i want to take from... Can someone tell me how can i take from Disk 1 and add to Disk 0 if the expand wont allow me PLEASE HELP

Please post a screencap of your Disk Management window.

Disk 0 and Disk 1 are two discreet physical drives.

Once you upload an image there, over on the right, it should appear like this.

The red part circled here is what you should copy/paste here for a reply for this.

OK!
So, as I suspected, C and D are two individual drives.
Whoever built your PC with a 30GB drive (with 8GB taken up by a Recovery partition!) should be taken out back and shot. Unless of course this is a spouse who did it. Any other relative/friend/PC store....they need to never configure a PC again.

That is simply far too small for a current Windows OS drive.


And no, you can't expand the C partition into the D space, because they are two individual drives.

My suggestion?
Actually, this involves multiple steps.

1. Undo the BitLocker encryption. Unless you really need it, and know what you are doing with it, and how to recover...that is actually quite dangerous and may lead to total data loss
2. Find whatever data is on the D drive, and save that elsewhere. It looks to be very minimal, so an SD card should do it
3. Migrate the current Disk 0 to the Disk 1. Your Disk 1 (465GB) will become the C drive.
4. Disconnect the existing 30GB drive, and put it in a drawer somewhere.

For #3 - Acronis Trueimage, Easus Todo, Macrium Reflect, Casper...they can all do that migration pretty easily.

Ah, the perils of these online PC sources.
When people ask me "Should I buy a prebuilt PC from xxxx", stuff like this is why I say "NO!"
