    Unable to use unallocated space in volume


    I am unable to allocate 186gb of space on my SSD, labeled Disk 1, that was previously used for a Linux partition. I am aware that the unallocated space needs to be directly to the right of the volume space to be able to extend the volume, but I haven't been able to move that chunk of unallocated space from where it is. I tried EaseUS but it simply wouldn't allow me to reorganize that disk.

    :)

    Unable to Use Unallocated Space to Extend Partition

    Okay...thanks. Will look at it tomorrow. FYI, I figured out how to get that unformatted G partition back into D.

    In Disk Management, I right clicked G and selected "Delete Volume." That rendered the partition as unallocated. I was then able to extend D with that space.

    Thanks again for all of the help!

    Unallocated Space on my SSD

    You shouldn't have to, I've done this before without even rebooting the machine I was doing it on. However, the unallocated space has to be right next to the volume you want to expand, and it has to be marked as unallocated not just "free space".

    Do you have more than one volume on the SSD, or is it just the C Drive?
