Windows 10: extended partition but still showing as two different boxes.

Talking of only Disk 1 HDD. Initially I had only two volumes: 1st D: 481GB and 2nd G: 449GB. I wanted to take 200 GB from 1st to extend 2nd. I first shrank 1st which created and showed an empty volume "in between" of 1st and 2nd of 200GB { like- [D: 281GB] [empty: 200GB] [G: 449GB] }. Then I extended 2nd to cover this new empty space. Now, though G drive's total size is showing 649GB, but still the Disk Partition Tool is showing it as two separate boxes and also the border changed to Green Color. I checked properties of both the G: boxes and they are both showing same i.e., 649 GB, but

How to extend C partition

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for the information provided.

Please to inform you that you need to have an “unallocated disk space” to the right of the Partition\Volume you wish to extend on the same drive. Only when “unallocated disk space” is available “extend” option is highlighted.

I suggest you to try these steps and check if they helps.

Step1: Press Windows + R and Diskmgmt.msc and try the following

a. Right click the basic volume want to extend.

b. Click extend volume.

c. Follow the instruction on the screen.

Step2: Open a command prompt and type diskpart.

At the DISKPART prompt, type list volume. Make note of the basic volume you want to extend.

At the DISKPART prompt, type select volume <volumenumber>. This selects the basic volume volumenumber that you want to extend into contiguous, empty space on the same disk.

At the DISKPART prompt, type extend [size=<size>]. This extends the selected volume by size megabytes (MB).

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.
