SSD and Partition?

Hi all,

I initially have the Intel 80Gb G2 SSD partitioned C rimary (62Gb) and D:Logical (15Gb). Then I decided to remove the D:Logical by going into
Control Panel > System and Security > Admin Tools > Computer Management > under Storage > Disk Management > Delete Volume of D:Logical (15Gb).

Now the good new is the D:Logical is no longer there under My Computer, however the Primary drive still only has 62Gb. Where did the 15Gb go?

Any ideas guys?

 

You have to extend the primary partition. You should be able to use GParted to do it. It's a free live CD that you boot from and can hopefully resize the C: partition to utilize the extra space.

They warn you that editing a partition may result in data loss. Be safe and make sure that your backups are current before messing with it. Better safe than sorry!

 

Thanks for your help.

 

You dont need to use gparted to extend the primary partition, just right click the primary partition in windows disk management and click extend volume

 

Haha that's just exactly what I did. I knew it's just matter of time before you guys point that out.

Thanks

 

I have a similar problem.. I have attached a pic.. how do i shrink S volume so D volume can become bigger? I tried shrinking S and making D bigger but once i shrink S i can only make S big again.. i cannot extend D...so what can i do?

 

I think what you'll need to do is shrink S, make a new T in the unallocated portion, move what's in S to T, delete S, and then extend D.

 

In order to extend D you would have to delete S.
Maybe move data from S to D, delete S, extend D, and if u stil want an S then recreate it and move the data bak from D to ur new S

 

That sounds like the best idea.

 

That was something like what i thought. Thanks.

 

Easeus Partition Master is my choice; shrink, extend, create & delete partitions as you see fit

Never failed me

 

GParted would work for this, too.
