    Hi All,
    I have Windows 7 Home Basic.My primary Disk space(C:) has 24GB and the next partition(G:) is a empty drive with 50GB.
    Due to memory out of space issue in 'C' i need to combine C and G drives and the actual problem is options of 'Delete volume' and 'Expand volume' is disabled in both the drives.Only 'Shrink volume' is active in the drives.so i cannot expand the primary volume.Pls help me in solving out this issue.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,

    Where is the space that you will extend with?  You need to shrink the G drive. However the space that is from the shrinking should be next to the C drive.

    First please back up all data in partition G, then delete G and extend partition C, and recreate partition G with remained space.

    Another method is to extend the system partition by using the command line.
    The article can be referred to .

    You cannot expand the primary volume because there is no continuous unallocated space to C partition. Merge the two partition is very simple, some free partition manager does well. Aomei Partition Assistant Home Edition is one of the choice, refer to the article about merging partitions into one:
