• How to extend my C:\ partition?

  My C: drive will be full. So I narrowed another logical Partition, he showed he is free Space (green) (not unallocated). Then I click right C: drive but the volume extension option has been disabled. Why? How do I activate it? What should I do?

  I guess you did backups of your data files & a system image before trying this.

  There is a help file for the computer management utility which explains this in detail [it is different from the normal Windows Help file] then click the help on the computer management toolbar.

  The reason could be that the unallocated space is not next to the partition that you hope to expand, but it is impossible to say without knowing what is simply your situation.

  Maybe you can post screenshots - How to insert an image in a post on the Answers site

• How can I delete second partition of Windows 8 is not working.

  Original title: 2 Options of Windows 8 boot after installation

  After the instrall of Windows 8, I find myself with 2 startup options for ' windows 8 '. We work, we do not. How can I delete the one that does not work?

  This might help, it might not. I had an additional option of Windows 8 start after the installation of Win8 Pro Dev preview. I even formatted my drive (I have 2 disk for Win8) first and always happens.

  First, run Disk Cleanup and clean up system files. This could find older versions of windows to be deleted.

  I found the extra startup option by running 'msconfig' and selecting the tab "boot" by selecting the extra startup option and pressing 'delete' this problem for me solved.

• How can I delete second partition?

  Hello, I recently created a second partition on my C: drive.  I changed my mind on the installation of a new OS, so now I would like to delete the partition and merge it into a C: drive.  I have to mark the partition as inactive, and now I'm ready to remove it. But when I try to delete or format the partition, I get this message:

  Delete is not allowed on the boot volume, system, file, dump on incident or current hibernation.

  I understand that this message should appear if I was on the c: partition, but not on the second partition, I created.  How to delete this partition?  Thank you

  Thank you for your response.  I found the answer on an accident!  I changed the drive letter and restarted and after that, I was able to delete the partition and extend the main partition to take all the C: drive.  Thank you

• With the help of Camp of Partition start, but impossible to find all Partitions of Windows

  Hello world

  I am a new user of Fusion 2.06, and I really need your help!

  I installed my WIndows 32-bit Vista under Boot Camp. I had three Windows partitions (one for the system, one for storage of files and one for the storage of games) and I used the disk of Windows Vista for these partitions Manager. If I use boot camp to start the windows, each partition can appear in Windows.  And now I use merge under the Partition Boot Camp to run Windows.  The problem is that I can't find the Windows partition two except the one Windows is installed.

  Can someone give me some advice on how to leave the two partitions of Windows appears in the merge? Thank you very much!

  I am very happy to hear that everything worked!

  I would recommend to not not re-partitioning the hard drive once again, unless you have all data backed up first. The current configuration of the partition is just too unconventional (partition tables GPT/MBR hybrids are problematic in general), so no changes more may be bad unless they are made with a lot of attention.

  How to extend my C drive volume in Windows 7, so that the disc I want to merge in drive C is not adjacent to the C drive, please help

  Jackin salvation,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

  When resizing of volumes in Windows7, you must be aware of the following criteria:

  • Only you have the possibility to reduce or enlarge NTFS or RAW (unformatted) partition using Windows 7 tools.
  • When you shrink a partition, files not movable as a page file or a shadow storage area are not resettled. This is why you cannot reduce the size of the Windows beyond volume where these types of files. If you need to reduce the volume, you will need to remove, move or delete the page file or the shadow first storage area, and then reduce the volume and then add the page file or shadow storage on the disk area.
  • If enough bad clusters are found on the disk partition will not shrink.
  • You must be logged on to an administrator account in order to resize Windows Volumes in windows 7.
  
   

  Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes of shrinkage

  This section shows must shrink a Windows volume or partition. To do this, we must open the Windows 7 disk management tool. The following steps will guide you in this process.

  1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop , and then click the Control Panel menu option.

  2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

  3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

  4. Double-click the computer management icon. The console of the computer management will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

     
  5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'm going to resize the partition E: of 16 GB so that when completed, there is a 8 GB partition and provides another 8 GB of free space I can use for other purposes.

     
  6. To shrink the partition, just click with the right button on the partition that you want to work with and select reduce . In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, I select shrink.

  7. A screen similar to the one below appears. This screen indicates the size of the current partition you, how you can reduce it to a field where you can enter a specific amount to reduce, and then how big partition will be once it shrinks. By windows 7 default enters the maximum amount that you can reduce the volume, but if you want to change this amount, do so by entering the amount in MB in the enter the amount of space to shrink in MB: field. When you are satisfied with how windows 7 will shrink the partition, click the minimize button.

     
  8. Once windows 7 is complete decreases the volume, you will be in the disk management screen, but now the partition size will be the size you requested as shown below.
  

  Now that you have reduced the size of your volume of Windows, you can close the computer management console.

  You have now finished reducing your score and you have the extra space available for use as required.

  Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes extension

  This section shows that you must extend a Windows volume. To do this, we must open the tool of disk management where we can resize our volumes. The following steps will guide you in this process.

  1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop, and then click the Control Panel menu option.

  2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

  3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

  4. Double-click the computer management icon. The computer management console will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

     
  5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'll extend the E: partition so that it uses the rest of the available space on the disc 1.
     
     
      
  6. To extend the partition, he just click right-click on the partition that you want to work with, and then select the Extend option. In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, select Extend.

  7. A wizard appears as shown below. Press the Next button to continue.

     
  8. A new screen, shown below, is displayed allowing you to select the free space available on your local hard disks that you can use to extend the space of the selected partition. It is important to note that Windows 7 allows you to extend a volume using free space on the same drive as well as the other disks. I strongly suggest that you do not extend a volume on a disk with free space of the other. It is because if one of the disks has a hardware failure, then all data on this volume will be removed. Rather just to use the free space on a drive that contains the volume you extend
     .

     

     As discussed in step 5, for this tutorial we are going to extend my 8 GB partition (drive E :) to the total size of disk 1 using all the available space. As disk 1 is only available free space on my computer, windows 7 automatically select as shown in the image above and use the maximum amount available to extend the partition. If there were other drives with free space that they have shown during the selection available . If you want to extend the volume to a lower amount you can change in the Select the amount of space in MB: field. In the contrary case, press us the button Next .

  9. You will be now be presented with a confirmation screen. If you are sure you want to extend the volume, press the Finish button. Otherwise, press the back button to make changes or the Cancel button to cancel this operation.

  10. Once Windows 7 completed to extend the volume, you will be on the screen disk management, where you can see the amount that you have extended with the new size. An example of this is shown below.
  

  At this point, you can close the Management window of the computer that your task is completed.

  Hope this information is useful.

  Let me know if it worked.

• How to extend the partition that has free space on the left with diskpart

  I bought an SSD and made a second partition on my HARD drive to transfer my data. I had planned to clone and move the light to my SSD partition, but read that I was better to do a new install. I made a new installation on the SSD drive, deleted the old partition of Windows 7 and went to add to the data partition unallocated space (unallocated space is to the left of the partition). I know that you can not do this with disk management, but I've done it before on my laptop Windows 7 by using diskpart. I found an article earlier about how use diskpart to do what disk management may not, but I don't know how or where I found it.

  I know I can do it with applications 3rd party like GParted, but knowing that it is possible, but don't remember how to do it with diskpart is driving me crazy. Can someone help me?

  Hi Schwaka,

  As a general rule, it is very easy to extend the partition when the free space is right behind, but what can you do with the space left? Most people will feel that it is really a great difficulty.

  Do not worry! Here I recommend you an easy to use, software AOMEI Partition Wizard Server Edition. It is so common among computer users and most of the people speak highly.

  Your problem, there are two choices for you. We have to move the space unallocated behind, and the other is to merge the free space on the data partition. Both functions may not be permitted in Windows 7 disk management. In addition to the two features, more functions are supported to manage your drive.
  

  Have fun with it!

  Best wishes!
