Partition space

You're not understanding this. Unallocated space is NOT equal as (partitioned) empty space.

Unallocated space means empty RAW sectors on HDD. Empty space means an already allocated file system (either FAT32 or NTFS or any other) that is not occupied by any data.

So in your case, as DanTheBanjoman already suggested, don't try to shrink "unallocated space", extend the main (C*Smile partition instead. You can't shrink something that doesn't exist (unallocated space), but you can extend the existing partition over unallocated space.
So, just select the C: partition and extend it further. Program should automatically allow you to do that. I'm not using Partition Magic, but i usually done this with either:
MiniTool Partition Wizard Free - manage and resize disk partitions (also for 64bit OS!)

or

EaseUS Partition Master - manage disk partitions (only for 32bit OS!)

 

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

 

Windows 10 Upgrade Added a Partition

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

The issue might arise if the space provided for the recovery partition has been occupied and a new partition has been created to place the leftover recovery files. In Windows 10, some additional space is allocated for the recovery files if the designated
partition is filled to the brim.

In this case, I would suggest you to unhide the partition and check what type of files are consisted by the partition. In order to unhide partition:

• Start Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) on your computer and take a closer look at your hard disk. Note the disk number and the partitions.
• Start DiskPart and select your disk: DISKPART> select disk 0
• List all partitions: DISKPART> list partition
• Now, select the hidden partition (see step 1) DISKPART> select partition 1
• Type DISKPART> detail partition and verify that it is hidden. Remember the Type value, this will be handy if something goes wrong.
• Set the type of the hidden partition to 07. Type
  DISKPART> set id = 07 override
• If everything goes ok, you will receive the following message “Diskpart successfully set the partition ID.“
• All done. Type Exit
  to close DiskPart.
• Check the Disk Management to see witch drive letter has been assigned to the recovery partition.
