C drive is 15gig & its full, which is unusual as thats what I've used for years.

I've 2x 15gig unused partitions on the same HDD & I'm wondering how to merge 1 of them into C.

Anyone ever done this or know how to do it?

Thanks :D

I've been using Partition Magic successfully over years now. I would suggest this tool. :wink:

Tried that, it doesnt work.

It will merge 2 non OS partitions but not an OS partition & non OS partition.

I guess you'll have to use another OS and another application in this case. I could swear I already did this with PM though. It restarted the PC and popped up just before windows started and altered the partition. However that was Windows 98 I think. :?

Why don't you simply create another partition? You can do so with Start->Run... "diskmgmt.msc"

Sorted....

I merged the 2 spare 15gig partitions & extended my C to take another 15gig from the new partition. :mrgreen:

Didn't you say that you are not able to merge a non OS partition with an OS partition? How did you expand your C partition? :roll:

I'm not going to draw you a picture or take screenshots to show you. :wink:

Partition magic has merge partition & extend partition options so I did exactly what I said :roll: :P
