    Unallocated Disk Space


    I recently bought a small laptop to do admin work while out-of-town. The computer came in with a 100 MB partition allocated to Recovery. That didn't leave me enough room for a Windows upgrade. There was nothing in the partition so I created an external Recovery, deleted the partition and expected to use the space as part of the primary drive. I am now left with an "unallocated" partition(?) on the primary drive that I'd like to merge into the primary space. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about doing that?

    I've added an image of my Disk Management screen if that'll help.

    Thanks - Dave

    :)

    Unallocated Space to C Drive

    Hi Travis,

    It appears that a disk partition was created but was never assigned its allocation. Assuming there are no files stored in the unallocated partition, perform these steps to combine it with your C: drive:

    • In Disk Management, right-click on (CUnallocated Disk Space :) which appears next to the
      Unallocated partition.
    • Select Extend.

    Let us know if you're able to combine the spaces after following the steps above.

    Regards.

    Was commenting on the pic in post #21. Not suggesting anything. It just looked like the step you were doing was incomplete.
