Resize partitions through Windows?

[tman450]

Is there a way to resize partitions through Windows?

Drive 'F' was previously used for a linux installation but I've since uninstalled it, but drives 'E' and 'F' are the same hard disk, what I'm wondering is if it's possible to merge the two drives back into one partition.

I'm running Windows Vista SP2.

Thanks in advance!

Open Disk Management (right-click Computer, click Manage, Disk Management is on the left.)

F is empty, yes? Delete it and extend E. Simple.

When I try to extend E it says:

"The dynamic disks are not supported by this operating system."

Windows partition tool isn't great, use another one

Is F on the same hard drive as C and E?

No, E and F are the same drive, and C is seperate.

The unallocated space doesn't seem to appear in either the resize menu or the merge menu

What's that 4GB partition after E? That's your problem.

If it's not something you can delete, move it to the end, then you can resize E.

I don't know what it is, Windows Disk Manager says its a Primary Partition but I can't explore it

[missionfloyd]

Can you mount it?

Nah

[missionfloyd]

I don't know what it could be. You can move it to the end for now, just in case.

[editline]2nd July 2013[/editline]

Or delete it if you like to live dangerously.

Or maybe its something Linux made. What filesystem is it?

It might be something Linux made, because it says "Other" so Windows doesnt recognize it

[VikeeVeekie]

It might be the Windows poartition, or the partition that has been made when you installed
Linux. So it's better not to touch it until your certain what it is.

[missionfloyd]

No, looks like Windows is installed on C.

Try GParted. It'll at least be able to tell you what kind of partition it is.

If it's EXT2/3/4 or a swap partition, then it's probably left over from your Linux installation.

[VikeeVeekie]

Not at all, Windows creates a extra partition upon installation:

[missionfloyd]

Yeah, but it wouldn't be 4 gigabytes. And it'd be NTFS.

The 4gb partion is probably a swap-disk for Linux, with maybe GRUB installed on it.
