Windows C Drive can't extented

[abakisensoy]

Hi,

I use VirtIO SCSI and when I resize the disk I can't extend the C drive. Only can create a second drive with free space.




How can I extend C drive?

Hi there,

You need to move that little partition to the end of the disk first (use a third party software for this), and then you can expand the main partition.

Hope that it helped you.

Best regards.

Hi @abakisensoy,

In this scenario, I usually use GParted live disk (ISO, CD, USB or whatever - you can download it from their website: https://gparted.org/) or any live Linux distro with a GUI. There are other tools that you can install in Microsoft Windows itself, like Minitool Partition Editor, Paragon Partition Manager, EaseUS Partition Manager and a lot of other solutions, but I prefer the opensource ones (instead of installing on a server). Anyway, whatever you choose, it will help you with this problem.

Also, as it is a recovery partition (not critical and not mounted), you probably can do it online with one of those Windows tools (my choice, over those, would be Minitool - all of those have "community" editions). You make all necessary steps (move the recovery partition and then resize the other) and apply, simple as that.

Best regards.

I just did this today completely in Windows (with just MS tools already installed). Just google for "remove recovery partition" in you language, its easy and you don't normally need a recovery partion in a virtualized environment.
