Unpartition?
Hello, years ago when I first set up my system I set up a partition on
my C drive. I had a project in mind at the time and I thought I was going to need a 13GB partition. I've since done away with the idea, but not I want to get those 13 Gigs back to my C drive. I went to "Computer Management" and I /think/ I chose "Delete partition" from the right-click menu. Whatever I did, it simply labeled the partition as 'unallocated'. It didn't incorporate it back into the C drive. Is there a way to do this? TIA, Brian |

What you did only free the space used for the other partition. You'll need to extend the C: drive. Use DISKPART from the command prompt. Enter this command: LIST DISK You'll see a list of disk to choose. Look at the "Disk ###" column, then enter command: SELECT DISK # Where "#" is the disk number. e.g.: SELECT DISK 0 Enter command: LIST VOLUME You'll see a list of disk to choose. Look at the "Volume ###" column, then enter command: SELECT VOLUME # Where "#" is the volume number. e.g.: SELECT VOLUME 0 Then enter this command: EXTEND It'll extend the selected volume to use all free space that follows. |

Type EXIT when done Thank you for showing me this utility. I've never used it before, but, I got an error: DiskPart failed to extend the volume. Please make sure the volume is valid for extending. |

I forgot that it can't extend the system partition since it's being used. You'll have to use a partiton manager from a bootable CD like George mentioned. |
