    Partition space

    You're not understanding this. Unallocated space is NOT equal as (partitioned) empty space.

    Unallocated space means empty RAW sectors on HDD. Empty space means an already allocated file system (either FAT32 or NTFS or any other) that is not occupied by any data.

    So in your case, as DanTheBanjoman already suggested, don't try to shrink "unallocated space", extend the main (C*Smile There are unallocated spaces where there should be ufi partition and recovery partitions... :) partition instead. You can't shrink something that doesn't exist (unallocated space), but you can extend the existing partition over unallocated space.
    So, just select the C: partition and extend it further. Program should automatically allow you to do that. I'm not using Partition Magic, but i usually done this with either:
    MiniTool Partition Wizard Free - manage and resize disk partitions (also for 64bit OS!)

    or

    EaseUS Partition Master - manage disk partitions (only for 32bit OS!)

  3. Unable to expand primary partition to unallocated space.

    In Disk Management, the four "blocks" representing my HDD's partitions (in order) are:

    System Reserved (350MB),

    (CThere are unallocated spaces where there should be ufi partition and recovery partitions... :) [1391.07GB],

    450MB Healthy (Recovery Partition),

    and 471.16 GB Unallocated.

    I believe I would be able to expand the C: partition into the unallocated space if the "Healthy (Recovery Partition)" wasn't between them.

    Any ideas how I could merge C: and the unallocated space?

    Need help soon - Questions on partitions and unallocated space

    Hello all. I am about to install Win 7 later today and I am looking to set up some partitions. I plan on doing the following. If this won't work please let me know:

    1) I have a 1TB drive with a single partition (Vista, data, ect.). I have 300GB or so of unused space. Within Vista I will create a new partition (drive/partition D). I will place my data on this partition.

    2) I will install Windows 7. I will format and install it over my former partition/drive C during the Windows 7 installer. When Windows 7 is installing, I will shrink the partition down to 60GB.

    3) This will leave me with roughly 570GB or so of unallocated space, correct?

    4) I will create a 3rd partition (drive/partition F?) with this unallocated space.

    5) I will extend my data partition/drive D over partition F. I will now have all of my data and 830GB of total usable space.

    6) Windows 7 will create a System Reserve partition (100MB) automatically during installation, correct?

    Will this work? Thanks for reading.
