as you can see, my C: is full while my D: remains empty. as they are on the same disk, is it possible to combine the two, or is that recovery partition a problem? thanks in advance ;)

    Hi bigdave387,

    I have looked into the issue, and based on my understanding, it is possible to merge the D drive into the C drive, but you will need to follow these steps:

    1. Open Disk Management on your PC.
    2. Locate and right-click the D drive, then select "Delete Volume". Click "Yes" to confirm.
    3. Right-click on the C drive and select "Extend Volume".
    4. Input the size of the unallocated space created from the D drive and merge it into the C drive. Click "OK" to confirm.

    Make sure to back up any important data from the D drive before you delete it.

    I hope these steps help resolve your issue. If you need further assistance, please let me know.

    Best regards,

    Arvind

    You cannot delete D without disabling paging first.

    You cannot extend C without deleting the Recovery Partition.

    1. Disable Windows RE to preserve the image file. Run

    reagentc /disable

    1. Delete partition 4.

    diskpart

    select disk 3

    select partition 4

    delete partition override

    1. Disable paging.
    2. Reboot.
    3. Delete drive D.
