  1. Extend drive C: but extend option is greyed out, recovery partition next to drive C:


    I am not able to unpartition my C: drive and I got advice from the web to remove the allocated drive next to it, but I have a recovery partition next to it. Very confused because I cannot access or delete it to extend C:. Most hopeful that I get an answer as soon as possible.

    :)

    Extending C: Drive

    Hi EugeneM_

    From your screenshot, if that is the whole drive, which I assume is a 128GB SSD, there is no room to extend your C drive

    The partition on the left, is the boot partition, then your C Drive, then the Windows Recovery Partition, your C drive is currently at the maximum size . . .

    Extend drive C: but extend option is greyed out, recovery partition next to drive C:

    Windows 7 Drive C extend partition

    Hi,

    I have a problem extending my drive c partition, here's the scenario:

    Basically, I have 2 partition, the drive C and drive D. Since I am no longer using the drive D i want to delete the partition and add it to drive C.

    Heres what I've done,

    I navigate to disk partition manager and delete the Drive D partition after that i right click the Drive C partition to extend its storage but the extend button is disabled.

    Next, I use my bootable windows 7 installer and choose the advance method installation, there, i was able to extend the partition, but, i want to know if extending the Drive partition will remove my drive c data ? I dont want that to happen. . I want just
    to extend its storage thats it. So that i can be only using Drive C.

    Thanks. .
