Extending volume problems

I cannot extend my volumes in Disk Management or diskpart.exe, the option is greyed out. Is it because the partition is at the end of the disk? If so how to fix?

  Run Disk Management. Open Run Command (Windows button +R) a dialog box will open and type "diskmgmt.msc".

  In the Disk Management screen, just right-click on the partition that you want to shrink, and select “Extend Volume” from the menu

  Locate your system partition — that’s probably the C: partition. Right-click on it and select “Shrink Volume.” If you have multiple partitions on your hard drive, you could also choose to resize a different partition to free up
  space.
