Allow the rest of my hard drive to be used

Posted: 03-28-2007, 09:08 PM
I have a 250 Gigabyte hard drive that has been running on my XP and now Vista
(from an upgrade) with 131 GB partioned. In my Disk Management, it says I
have 104.89 GB unallocated space. I would like to just simply add that to my
C drive partion, instead of making a new partion for it.
Thanks.

No can do within Windows. You would have to find a third party utility that
has that capability (they do exist).

Vista allows you to expand partitions now, as long as the other one is
unallocated.

My fault, I found out how but I didn't see it before, I right clicked the C
Drive in Disk Management and it said expand, and I did so.
