    Merge several unallocated spaces into one.


    Hello guys,

    I was wondering if you can help me out with this, I have three, unallocated spaces on my laptop and I want to merge them into one new partition. Bear in mind that I have basic disk partitioning, do I need to transition to dynamic and is it possible to loss some data in the process ?

    Download: MiniTool Partition Wizard
    Install then run.
    Right click on C: -> Move/Resize. A Windows popup . Hold down C: then drag to the left. Do the same for D: and E:
    Click "OK" then click "Apply", The program will reboot then perform the change.
    Once done, you should have: C:, D:, E: and ~60GB unallocated at the end.

    He also has to move the System Reserved partition to the left as well. Basically what @topgundcp stated, but move the System Reserved partition with the rest of the others.

    Also, when you are done moving partitions, you are going to have to convert E: drive to a logical partition. You cannot have more than 4 primary partitions on an MBR hard drive, and you are wanting to add a 5th partition. So the current E: drive and the partition you create after it will have to be logical.

    Correct. I missed that.

    The other option is to move the boot files to the C: drive partition using a program like EasyBCD. Then you can just delete the System Reserved partition.

    Thanks!

    This advice and tool helped me remove an insignificant, yet irritatingly unallocated black box partition at the beginning of a brand new external hard drive.

    I'm forever appreciative of the news, help, and tips I find here.
