Okay, here is the solution that i found. IT REALLY HELPS

IF u have for example a drive C containing the OS VISTA or whatever and u have another eg E. ANd you want to extend C right? here is what u do?

1. Go to Admins tools – Computer Mgt – Disk Mgt then Format the drive E
2. Then again right click on drive E and again click on “Delete drive”
3. Then right click on the drive C and choose “Extend drive”
4. it will b extended with all the available free spaces which u gained by deleting E
5. u r done.

this problem is faced by me as well as most of the dell laptop users.

My 2 cents
My configuratin before extending was C:50GB D:80GB, also i had linux partition resolved by Windows 7 as unkown space.
What i did is to delete linux partition, and after that i did format of newly created partition.
So i had C, D, F(20GB)
I ve tried to extend D, so i can have 100GB on D. But extend option was greyed out.
Then i righ clicked on F, same case. I delted F partition, since it was empty, and when i clicked on D extend became clickable. I clicked and in 2 seconds i got D-100GB
IMPORTANT!!!
DO NOT DELETE any partition if you are not sure tthat there is any data you need!!! Backup files you need first!

additional: if anyone have problem that saids “not enough disk space” while installing vista, you should follow the order:

1. click control panel.
2. click administratives tools.
3. click computer management.
4. after step 3, ocmputer management window will pop up. disk management is on the left side of the window, click on it.
5. right click any drive you want to clean and click properties.
6. in the general section, you should see pie diagram of capacity and disk cleanup button should be right next to it. click.
7. select the program you want to remove to make extra space.
