Dear Sir
I tried to expand my C: drive through computer management and 3rd third-party tool, but both ways, that I could not succeed. The problem is that the Option expand volume became inactive (off). detailed below is the screenshot. Please help me.

Hello
You have a partition between you want to extend and where is the unallocated space.
You can't solve with Windows tools, and that's why the Extend option is not available...
See you soon.

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.
- Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop , and then click the Control Panel menu option.
- When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.
- When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop, and then click the Control Panel menu option.
- When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.
- When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- A wizard appears as shown below. Press the Next button to continue.
- 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 .
- 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.
- 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.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

How can I extend my C drive partition using the memory of the other partition?
I did 50 GB partition on my C drive, but now I want to extend this partition to 80 GB to help clear other partition. Please tell me the procedure...
You can use built-in Windows disk management tool.
1. backup of the data on the partition behind the c:, usually the D: drive.
2. open disk management (type "diskmgmt.msc" in a run window)
3 delete the partition
4 extend the partition
You can also use a free third-party software to extend NTFS system partition without data loss. personally, I use AOMEI Partition Wizard.

How to extend the C drive?
I almost filled my C drive, and I want to extend it.
Using disk management (Windows 7 with admin privledges), I managed to shrink the D drive and have now 180 GB of free space just to the right of the C drive.When I right click on the C drive in the lower pane, Expand the Volume... option is dimmed (the Format... and Remove the Volume... are also grayed out). Disk Management displays the following info on the C drive:- Simple
- Base
- NTFS
- In good health
- (Boot, page file, crash dump, primary Partition)
What should I do?Use EaseUS Partition Master to increase the size of C to your needs. With the free space between C and D, it is easy to increase the size of C and D to occupy all of the free space. Complications arise when the free space is not adjacent to the partition that you want to add space. It is then the partitioning software is invaluable.
http://www.partition-tool.com/EASEUS-partition-manager/extend-system-partition.htm
See solution 3.
Where will support you up to? You should plan for this. I use a second internal hard drive, but many user use an external USB disk. My computer has the ability to have more than one internal drive and some laptops have two internal drives.

I have a macbook pro 15 "model 9.1 4 GB of memory and want to extend to 8 which is the model of memory should I buy for my fastest machine, I have for several years.
See:
http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/upgrade/DDR3_160 0MHz_SDRAM
Get only the memory of a place as above, since Macs are picky about the memory. Another place is crucial.
If you can't swing for 16 GB (2 X 8 GB) replace a strip of 2 GB with a key of 8 GB.
This is the Office Mac Pro forum. I asked that your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop forum.

Qosmio X 500-165 - how to extend the C drive?
Just bought the Qosmio X 500-165. Does anyone know how to extend the C drive, I get a sign that it is almost full, despite installing all my programs on the partitioned disks that I created? I need to uninstall the software installed by toshiba?
Any suggestions gratefully received. Thank you
Hey Buddy,
The 500-165 X is equipped with 64 GB SSD and HDD of 750 GB. I don t know the exact partition structure but I assume that Windows is installed on the SSD which is the C drive and HARD drive is your second drive D.
I recommend to move all files such as photos, videos, music, drive D to improve disk space on c. usually 64 GB SSD should be sufficient for all applications because Windows 7 needs only 20 GB.
Also, try to reduce the system restore points and delete temporary folders. CCleaner can also help you to clean your system. :)

I want to move my hard drive from a computer with a motherboard dead to a newer machine. The activation process failed. How can I get the operating system XP Professional sp3 reactive? I have the code original and other info.
original title: Moving the death machine driveHello CarrolScott,
The activation problem arose because the hardware on your current computer does not match that of the hardware on the machine whose mother is dead.
The best option for the reactivation is to use the telephone line. This, unfortunately, is automated and may refuse to turn on your system; However, don't despair just rest on the line after the automated atcivation crossed its procedure and you will be transferred to a real person. Tell this person you've done, and it should be able to help activate.

I want to add another hard drive to my computer pls HELP
OK, so I want to add another hard drive for my windows xp, 512 MB of ram and 32 GB of hard drive and it's a Dell Dimension 3000/desktop PC.
How can I get a new one, how do I know if it is the right type, where I'd get a? Thank you for your help :DYou look at the manual of your system, see what kind of connection there / what lead types/sizes it can manage and buy appropriately.
However - given the age of this system - I'm just down, buy an external USB drive and use it. You will eventually be able to take to any machine use - including the one that replaces the one you have.

You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.
Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.
If it was built * friend *, you will communicate with them. Ask your media.

I want to remove/erase/print driver to Windows 7 and can't find any documentation.
New DELL Windows 7 computer (within 30 days) and want to remove persistent / printer driver.
Could not find any documentation on the issue, and neither DELL nor Microsoft are willing to provide any type of support, unless its paid for a product or service that is less than 30 days old.
OK, I found the solution to this problem... the info above is correct as it goes, but in my case, there was no option to erase the print on both printers 'ghost' queue because they were disconnected and (b) it has been shared on the network unavailable, so no option to the print queue was posted and had a printer assigned to TCP/IP port.
Here's how I did, step by step:
1. right click on desktop, create a new shortcut with the target under 'cmd.exe '.
2. right click on the shortcut, "Run as Administrator".
3. run the tool printui: printui/s/T2
4. try to remove printers. If this does not work...
5. click on start > run > Services.msc
6 locate the print spooler service and right click > properties > stop him.
7. open my computer and go to c:\Windows\System32\spool\Printers
(you will need to say 'oK' to access the file).
8 REMOVE the contents of this folder.
9 restart the print spooler service.
10. go back into the printui utillity (might need to restart using the same method as above) and try to delete printers again. This time it should work. If necessary, see the "Ports" tab and delete all TCP/IP ports that are associated with the old printer.
11 Last but not least, I checked the other computers on my home network to see if any of these was located at the old printer and I removed these mappings, as the date of the spooling documents suggest it was printed in time once it has been deleted physically. -
I want to install new HARD drive
I want to replace my HARD drive with a bigger on my computer. How do I transfer my license to the new hard drive. The OS is Windows 7 Home premium.
If you want to transfer your existing installation on the new drive, you can use the backup and restore utility in Control Panel to create a system image and repair the drive.
If you intend to have a new facility on the new drive for the installation of your DVD of Windows 7 as usual. You will need to call the Activation Center to allow installation again. It has no process for 'unactivate' of the old license before replace her in place.
