How to extend volume
need more music space :)
Saturday, June 28, 2008 by werewolf | Discussion: Windows Vista
Ok, I can't get my image to show, (I can see it in "Edit" mode) so...
I have some unallocated space on a disk which has 2 partitions, G: and H: I want to add the extra space to H:
I have tried using the "Extend" function, but apparently Vista Home Premium does not support dynamic disks and will not allow me to Extend H:
Does anyone know how I can add the extra space onto H:?
Thanks,
David

Well, I was thinking of just using Gparted (the Linux partition manager)...
This drive is a regular P ATA drive which has been enhoused (LOL at the word enhoused, how about encased) and is now a USB drive. I had planned on putting inside my new machine, but those drives are all S ATA drives

Werewolf... go to Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Computer Management> Storage> click on Disk Management> right click in the disk identification area (first section numbering your HDD's) and select "Convert Disk" Here you will be able to convert your disk from a 'Dynamic' to a 'Logical Drive'.
Hope this is of assistance.

I would just use an ubuntu live CD and gparted (if i didn't have a dual boot with ubuntu or other gnome linux already). Its free and easy and it works.
