"Unpartition" my hard drive

Question

Several years back I partitioned my C drive and created a D drive with much more space than I probably should have. Now I need to take more free space from D and put it back to C which had less than 3 GB remaining.  Is this somehow possible?

Answer 1

Hi Doug

Yes, there is the recovery partition and some unallocated space in the way, you will need to use a 3rd party utility, because Windows will refuse to merge your D and D drives after your delete D . . .

Answer 2

HiDoug

Open Disk Management (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

Id your D drive partition immediately to the right of your C Drive?

If so, you can just right click that and choose 'Delete Volume' and then extend your C drive partition into the unallocated space

If there is a small recovery partition between those two partitions, windows will refuse to extend your C drive, you will need to use a 3rd party utility to extend C

Answer 3

Can you post a screenshot of your Disk Management showing the partitions on the drive.

You may need a third party program to move partitions but it is possible.

Answer 4

I just want to remove the amount of free space on D and put it back on the C drive.
