Hi all,

Here is my current configuration:

Disk 0 - Basic



33.35GB - C:\ System Partition





Disk 1 - Basic



E:\ - File Shares - 150GB partition, 7GB free

F:\ - Data - 200GB partition, 16GB free

57GB - unallocated



I would like to extend E: using the 57GB unallocated space. How would I do
this? If preferable I do not want to convert the disks into dynamic disks.



TIA!

You need to use a partition manager, e.g. Acronis DiskDirector.
 
Re: disk space issue

There is no way to do this without buying a 3rd party software? What about
the diskpart utility?

Re: disk space issue

You cannot extend an existing partition with diskpart.exe. If you don't want
to spend any money then you need to do it the long way round: Copy all data
from drives E: and F: to some other disk, then repartition disk 1, then copy
the data back again. Make sure to use a "copy" command that preserves ACSLs.
