We have a windows Server in a virtual environment and Disk space was full in the VM. I have added the 200 gb more space for that VM. but when I tried to extend the c drive the Extend Volume option is greyed out. Because next to c drive there is os recovery partition and then I have 200 unallocated space.

Any suggestions How do I extend the volume ?

    Hi Kawaljit,

    Hope you're doing well.

    Here are the steps for you reference:

    1. Open cmd as an administrator and the input the following commands:

    (1) diskpart

    (2) list disk

    (3) select disk 0 (select disk C)

    (4) list partition

    (5) select partition 2 (select recovery partition)

    (6) delete partition override

    1. And then try to extend C volume.

    Important: It is best to do a BMR backup or checkpoint, snapshot before doing operations.

    Hope my answer can help you.

    Best regards
