extend C: partition drive

I am runnig out of space in the C drive, but have plenty of space in D drive.

How do I allocate more space from the D drive to the C drive?

My disk management shows this info:

C: Simple Basic NTFS (system,boot,...,primary partition)29.29GB Free space=1.64B
D: Simple Basic NTFS (Logical drive) 104.96GB Free space=88.79GB
Simple Basic (EISA Configuration) 14.79GB Free space=14.79GB
This driver (EISA) has no letter assigned.

As you can see I have no memory in C:.

What can I do to increase it?

Do not want to purchase additional programs, not enough space to install them.

Thanks for all your help

Hello LES555, welcome to Vista Forums!


Have a look at the free program at the link below, you can use it to do what you need, it's very easy to use; you will need to create an E: partition and move everything from D: to E: so you can add that space to C:.

Partition Wizard is a Magic Server Partition Manager Software for Windows Server 2000/2003/2008 and Windows 2000/XP/Vista/Windows 7.


Also have a look at this tutorial at the link below to shrink D: and create E:.

I did what you suggested but using the info at the tutorial from Brink (How to Delete and Extend a Partition with Disk management in Vista).

Everything worked fine...except I can not extend drive C:

I have the following at the present time:

Thanks for all the help

Thank you, what else do you have to do?

Im just suggesting this and i may not even be right.

You can try to defragment your hard drive with perfect disk 11.

Let me go back a little to explain better:
The original format I had was:
CSystem boot...) DLogical drive) no letter (EISA).
see attached: C:29.29GB - D:104.96GB - __ 14.79GB

After I partition D: I had:
C: 29.29GB - D: 52.54GB - F: 52.43GB - __ 14.79GB
see attached

I then open my computer and copy all folders in D: to F:

After that I went back to system management window and delte D: and as a result I had an epmty Free Space with no letter designation in green color, it was never color black and when I click on it asked me to name the new simple volume like I already explain in previous post.

Thanks for all your guidance

You will need Paragon Free partition manager. Free Partition Manager Express - Leading partitioning software! | PARAGON Software Group - free partition software, resize partition

In the main window, Rt click the Extended partition and select Move\Resize.




Drag the edge all the way rt as far as it will let you. Click Yes, Click Apply.



The unallocated space will now be outside the Extended partition and you can easily incorporate it into C - use paragon or Disk Management for that.

Hi, This is my first time on this forum.

I have windows vista basic on my dell vostro 1500 laptop. My hard disk was partitioned as C=40 GB, D=40 GB AND E=80 GB.

I have windows in C and almost all other softwares in D, while E is for my own personal data storage and use.

Now my problem is that my C is running out of space (only 1.13 GB left), and I donot know what to do?

Can anyone help me in this regard. I am a complete novice. I will be grateful if somebody can solve my problem in a easy and simple way...

will be waiting for a response.

thanking you in advance...
