  1. I want to Extend C: Drive using D: Drive but a Recovery Partition won't let me do it.


    I have a limited space in my C: Drive. So I tried to extend it using my D: Drive. but Disk management couldn't do that because a Recovery Partition is in between C: and D: drives. I tried Using NIUBI Partition Editor but the results were the same as Windows Disk Management. Now I have some questions:Is it possible to move the Recovery Partition?If not, then what's the solution to the problem?

    :)

    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. .

    Extend C drive Size

    Your Image does not show a D partition. It does show an F partition which if reduced in size would enable you to increase the size of the C partition.



    These are the steps needed to enable you to increase the size of your C partition:




    • Reduce F by 20 gb placing the unallocated space before F.

    • Increase the Recovery partition by 20 gb taking up unallocated space created by Step 1.

    • Reduce the Recovery partition by 20 gb placing the unallocated space before the Recovery partition.

    • Increase the C partition by 20 gb to take in the unallocated space before the Recovery partition.


    You can use Easeus Partition Manager (freeware) to carry out these tasks. The files in each partition are automatically moved when you carry out each step detailed above.
