| 823373 | 2009-10-23 03:58:00 | I am using windows 7 and would like extend the windows 7 partition. (I made to too small lol) Anyway, the windows partition manager has "Extend Volume" greyed out even though there is unallocated space on the HDD. So is there a way to trick this into letting me do it? Or if not what is the best thrird party partition manager to use? |

| 823374 | 2009-10-23 04:28:00 | The trick with this is that it can only extend a partition to unallocated space immediately to the right. I suspect your unallocated space is not hard up against the boot partition? The solution is to slide the intervening partition to the right, leaving the unallocated space up against the boot partition. Then you will find the Extend option will be available. (Above is assuming your disk looks like part1,part2,unallocated space). |
