  1. Not booting after merging non allocated space with c drive-Windows 10


    Hello Friends,

    Decided to upgrade my hard drive to 1TB ssd, cloned the old drive, and copied to the new 1TB crucial mx500 ssd(Didn't aware that i have to partition the new drive!) All went well the system working but the hard drive had a c drive and the rest said un allocated space.

    Using Accronics true image software i merged the un allocated partition with the c drive!! And changed c drive as primary drive, system didnt boot after that.

    After a bit of search i understand the small partition is the boot partition so its should be the primary, so removed the hard drive form the laptop and attached to another laptop through connector and managed to change the primary drive as the small partition,

    Even after doing this now the system is not booting at all. even tried esc key or F8 key to go bios.But no help.

    Does have the installation cd windows 7 ultimate, unless there is no option don't wanna go the pain taking process off installing windows 7 ultimate then upgrade to windows 10.not sure now its possible without paying!!


    what will be the best options?

    Asus G74sx laptop i7 16gb Ram

    Thank you

    :)

  2. how to merge c drive and d drive

    It depends on a couple things.

    If you have two separate physical C and D drives, you can't merge them.

    If the D drive is a partition (not a drive) and its to the right of C:\ in Disk Management, you can right click C:\ then click Extend.

    Press Windows key + X

    Click Disk Management

    Take a screenshot then post in a reply here.

    If the layout is similar to how I described it, try the following. Make sure important data is backed up if there is any.

    Select the D:\ partition

    Right click the ‘D:\’ in Disk Management, on the contextual menu, click the ‘Delete Volume’ option. Click ‘Yes’ when the warning dialog appears.

    The Volume you deleted will now appear as ‘Free space’, you will also notice that the disk icon no longer appears in the list of volumes.

    Right click the Free space partition, and click Delete, click Yes on the Disk Management warning that appears.

    The volume will now appear as Unallocated. Our next step is to merge back that unallocated free space with the system partition (C:\). Right click the System volume and click the ‘Extend Volume’ option on the contextual menu, click ‘Yes’ when the warning appears.

    A wizard will now begin that will guide through the steps to merge back the unallocated space with your system partition.

    The wizard provides a simple procedure to merge back the unallocated space with the system drive. Once you have selected the space, click Next, at the end of the wizard, you will see the amount allocated.
