Partitioning my new computer

[Autumn]

It looks as though I can post today, so here goes with another problem.

My new computer came with 2 Tb hard drive, but only 100 Gb was allocated to (Disk 1) C: Windows System. The remainder I divided as follows:




Once I started to transfer files etc from my old computer, suddenly the C: Drive jumped from 45Gb full to 98Gb! I have moved Documents and some other things to my new G: partition Documents, Music, Scratch, even so there is still only 8Gb free space on C: drive.

I have looked at many tutorials and downloaded Partition Magic and Easeus, but I still cannot see how I can extend my C: Drive by the 100 Gb I have freed up "D: New Volume".

I suspect it is something to do with the free space being on Disk 2 and C:Windows System being on Disk 1.

Can anyone help me please?

Re: Partitioning my new computer

I don't know if it'll help, but you could run WinDirStat on C: to see what's using up all of the space. You can get the portable version from here: http://portableapps.com/apps/utiliti...rstat_portable (it doesn't need installing, so just download it to somewhere you have space and run it). That might give you an idea of what you can move off C: to free up more space.

Do you have a single drive in the computer, or multiple drives? It looks to me like "Disk 2" is the 2TB drive - because it's 1.82TB (which is 2,000,000,000,000 bytes and the drive manufacturer sells that as 2TB, and that's roughly what your 1.65TB + 100GB + 70GB works out to).

It looks like your "Disk 1" is a 120GB-ish drive (is it an SSD perhaps?) and, as far as I know, you can't extend a partition larger than the physical drive. If your C: drive is indeed 120GB then no partition on that drive can be larger than that.
