sometimes using diskpart helps. theres plenty of sites on how to do this in detail. ill try to explain in short. open run. type diskpart.exe. youl get a command prompt window.

type “list volume” if you only have one hard drive ( i am basing
this off the assumption you do)

type “select volume (the number of the volume you want to modify
without () )”

if you have unallocated space go ahead and type “extend size=(number in MB)” and hit enter.

if you do not have unallocated space. find a volume with other than the one you want to extend and have some extra space on.

do this by typing “list volume” when the list populates type “select volume (volume number you want to select wihtout () )”

type shrink size= (however much you want to shrink) and hit enter
10000 mb is 10 GB.

now follow the steps at the top for extending a volume.

I cut another part of my C drive to add it to my D drive, but i hear you cant extend to the left with the built in manager. Is there any free software you can recomend to do this?

Does anyone know how to extend local disk C…. I have 80GB hard drive with only 20GB to my local disk drive and 60GB to my D drive. However even after shrinking the volume of my D drive to say e.g. 15GB less, i cant extent Drive C ….Is there any way i can add this 15GB or more to my Local drive C….have tried everything….

I have 60 Gb that shows as “free space” and is green. I cannot extend that into the C as it is grayed out. If i try to delete it shows a message saying this partition will become inaccessible. Should i delete and if i do will that make it say unallocated? Please help.

Hey thanks. It works all right! But only when you format D: drive completely, can you extend or shrink the C: Drive or even create a new drive!

Thanks!! I thought I was looking at hours and hours of work, but the longest thing was formatting the new volume. I just surfed a while, and it was done.

Kudos.
