My C: drive is full, I have shrunk the D: drive and now have 116.94GB of un-allocated space but I am not presented with the option to extend the C: volume. C: has all my program files so dont want to reformat or I will wipe the operating system and other program files. How do I allocate the free disc space to my existing C drive?

April 14, 2012Well, If you have XP you will have to use a program (Gparted, etc.) to charge the partion. In Win 7 it has the option in disk management.
Gparted is a LiveCD that will let you do want you want, while minimizing damage. You can get it here: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
Also here are some screenshots: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/screenshots.php
If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask.

April 14, 2012your c drive needs to have the free space next to it. I use a handy thing called mini tool partition wizard home edition that I downloaded.

April 14, 2012Paragon Software provides several tools that can help with this process as well and I have never had an issue while using them. They have a free partition manager available here http://www.paragon-software.com/home/pm-express/download.html. There is a paid version for $10 that has more features and will work on multi-boot systems (the free version doesn’t). They also have a full range of other drive management products as well if you ever have need for them.
I have no vested interest in recommending their products, just a very satisfied user.

September 23, 2012I have IBM Think-pad laptop. I have Window-7 system. The total capacity of the internal drive is 187 GB. The internal hard drive is partitioned as C drive – 48.7 GB and F drive – 137 GB. The C drive is used only to Install programs ( applications) software. All data is stored in the F drive. Also I have an external hard rive G – 298 GB.
Problem : my C drive is all most full. Only 1.88 GB free space is left on the C drive. I need more space on my “C” partition. how can I do it. I have 54 GB free space left on the “F” partition of the internal drive.
My Preference: If possible move all of my data from F partition to my external drive. Move partition of the internal drive to make F drive of only 4 GB and the C drive of (48.7 + 50 = 98.7 GB).
Need Help: I do not know how to do it successfully. Can it be done and how.
