The Windows Disk Management tool doesn’t have a way to move partitions around. To get around this problem we are going to use a third party application called NIUBI Partition Manager to move the recovery partition out of the way since it is what is causing the problem. This is because the 495 MB recovery partition is in between the C drive and the 20 GB of unallocated space that we need to use. Since we want to extend the C drive on this computer, we will right click on the 60 GB partition and choose Extend Volume but as you can see, the option is greyed out. ![]() In order to use this extra 20 GB we will need to either make a new partitionvolume or use it to extend a current volume. This information can be seen using the Windows Disk Management tool.įortunately, this hard drive (Disk 0) had some free space left so we expanded it by 20 GB and the results are shown below as unallocated space. ![]() Then we have the 60 GB system partition that contains Windows and finally a 495 MB recover partition. As you can see in the figure below, there is a 100 MB EFI System Partition used for UEFI boot purposes. The computer in question has a 60 GB system partition (C drive) and we want to add more space to it since we will be running out of room eventually. But there might come a time when this causes a problem like in the example we will be going over in this article. For example, your computer might have a C and a D drive yet only have one hard drive installed inside of your computer itself.Īs you create partitions on your hard drive, they will use free space in a contiguous fashion and most people don’t pay attention to how this space is used or really even care. As you probably know, Windows uses partitions on your hard drive to segregate space allowing you to divide up your storage space to do things such as have multiple hard drives on one physical hard drive. ![]()
