ok please help and thanx!!
I have recently created a new partition from my C drive.. @ 10 gigs and called it drive G.. I installed windows 7 on it as duel boot, to give it a go... I like it but have only 453 mb left for available space on this drive G !! Now when i shrink more volume out of C how come I can not allocate new shrunken space to drive G?? please any help is good help as i have looked everywhere!! the extended link is grayed out on drive G
The Windows versions of Disk Manager included with the system do NOT move FREESPACE for you. It MUST be at the end of a partition to be added.
You CAN 'fix' this though, although you might NOT like the answer. What you have to do is
A) Buy a 3rd party Partition Manager, and you are almost forced to do this if you have the 64 bit version, but I've THIS ONE that says it is free. I have not used it though.
B) DELETE the G: partition, and then there should be 2 FREESPACES right next to each other and you can combine them and then RE-INSTALL W7.
