    Can't move partitions


    I recently restored my Windows installation from an image backup done this many times.The disk I've restored to is 2x the original size.I can't move or resize any of the partitions in order to add the free space to the C drive.There's no option to do so even when the free space is initialised and is given a drive letter.Bitlocker is OFF.I can't use GParted either as all that sees is one large partition....

    :)

    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
