    Hi guys,

    this laptop fixer i had met extended my D:\ (HP RECOVERY) drive by a lot and i shrank it 10 gb.

    now the 10 gb of unallocated space is located beside D:\ to the right
    problem is C:\ is to the left of D:\ which means i can not extend C:\ to gain those 10 gb because D:\ is in the way lol...

    anyone know how i can accomplish this then??

    my physical drive is as follows
    SYSTEM, C:\, D:\, unallocated space (10gb), and HP TOOLS

    Use a third party partition manager and you can do it easily. i.e. Easeus, gparted, Acronis Disk Director, Norton Partition Magic, etc. The first two are free. Search these forums for "partition manager".
