I'm not sure if Windows will let you do that, but this is the procedure. I've done this many times in my career, but I have always used a 3rd party tool to do so. Now they are a general abomination and should be avoided, but I think you can arbitrarily bolt on LBA's with them Brand Representative for AJ Tek. Let's get back to proposing helpful suggestions, not bickering about who thinks they're more correct about something. Let's get back to proposing helpful suggestions to the OP's issue, not bickering about who thinks they're more correct about something. Regardless, there's no point in derailing this thread and arguing about semantics. The issue is that there is both a C and D drive on the same drive, and that logical partitions would overlap. No file is so retentive to care about the file system presentation to the end user as to not allow the storage to expand. You will need to first move D to the end of the logical disk, then grow C. You might have luck with gparted, as zuphzuph suggests. If that unallocated space was between the C and D partition, then it might be possible.īut not as-is. In your screenshot, the D drive is in the way. The space has to be contiguous and immediately after the partition you want to expand.

TheGuyinTheBasement:i have tried 3rd party program like AOMI and partition magic but the server edition is not free and trial dont fully work.įrom that screenshot, there is no space for the C drive to expand to. Neally: I dont see any of those services displayed on services. I noticed this on one of our VM's where it is one virtual disk with three partitions, I cannot expand the C: partition. If you copy all of your data off of D: and delete the partition, you will be able to extend your C: Drive to your hearts content, then you can recreate and copy back the data to your D. You wont be able to extend your C: with D: on the same drive. If that's not an option, you can move partitions about with gparted. From the looks of it, you installed gParted to the vDisk, rather than using it as a outside tool to the vDisk. I am running out of space on my C drive, running a windows R2 VM.
