Step by Step Guide to Extend C drive on Windows 2000/XP/Vista with Acronis DD

Step by Step Guide to Extend C drive on Windows 2000/XP/Vista with Acronis DD


Suppose we have four partitions C: 10 gb, E: 40gb, F: 60gb G: 48gb. We need to redistribute the free space 10gb on F: to C:. We will shrink the F: to be 50gb and then move the unallocated 10gb next to C: drive and then we will extend the c drive with the unallocated 10gb.

Acronis offers the most stable and confidence while resizing the existing partitions. Acronis Disk Director Suite can resize, move, split, merge partitions without data loss. If you want to merge partitions, you can follow this tutorial: How to merge partitions to extend boot partition.

Here are the steps:

• You can download free copy of Acronis Disk Director Suite.

• Check the partition space in disk management before we use Acronis Disk Director Suite.



Run Acronis Disk Director Suite and choose the “Manual Mode”, the right click F: to resize



Put the cursor to the left part of F: and prepare to drag F: to shrink.



Resize F to produce 10gb unallocated space and then click OK.



Right click E to move.



Click unallocated space and then click “Next”to move E to the right part of the unallocated space.



It will automatically move E to the right part of the unallocated space and then click OK.



We can see the unallocated space is next to the C partition.



Right click C: drive to claim the unallocated 10gb.



Put the cursor to the right part of the C drive and prepare to claim the unallocated 10gb.



Drag C to the end of the allocated space to extend boot partition and then click OK.



Click the flag to commit all the operations to extend the c drive.



Click “Proceed” to confirm all the operations.



Operations are completed.



Check the extended C drive in disk management.
