Smile Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 ok i finally got the Gparted cd to work and i formatted that C: drive and got it erased, it now says 7.72 gb of 7.80 gb free, and i used to remember how to extend that part of it back onto the D: drive but it has completely skipped my mind right now, can anyone refresh me?

Smile Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 ahh ok i remembered to right click my computer and click manage, then to disk management, what do i do after that to put C: (7.72 of 7.81 gb) to the D: (12.6 of 33.5 GB) correctly?

Smile Posted November 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 ok i remember how to do it but when i try and do it it says this "Windows cannot delete the active system partition on this disk" so im guessing i have to make it unactive? how would i do this?

Alan2273 Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I am not sure if this will work in Vista as I do not have that OS.Fire up GParted, delete the partition you have just formatted then click on your main partition, then click Resize and allocate the free space from the deleted partiton, or just use the slider to allocate it.As Vista has NTFS, the same as XP it should work, and the partition will be unmounted.Before you try this wait for someone to verify this will work with Vista.
