Well then, how can we extend C drive to free space? Here is a solution.Įxtend C Drive with MiniTool Partition Wizard
Primary partition and extended partition have their own area, and Disk Management does not allow primary partition to use space in extended partition, and logical partition cannot use space in primary partition. In order to create more than 4 partitions, Microsoft introduces extended partition where lots of logical partitions can be created. On an MBR disk, we can create 4 primary partitions at most since MBR-style partition table only offers 4 partition entries. We can initialize a brand new hard disk to either MBR or GPT.
Next, let’s get to know something about primary partition and extended partition. Under this situation, users definitely can’t extend C drive by using Windows disk management, because this tool does not allow users to extend a primary partition to space located in extended partition ( unpartitioned space in extended partition is called free space while space in primary partition is called unallocated space). Is there anything I can do in order to achieve the goal? I would like to extend it but the Extend option is in gray.
When installing Windows 7, I've divided my HD to several partitions, but unfortunately I gave only 50 GB to drive C.
