Hd Partitioning

On one of my computers I partitioned a 300 gig hard drive so that it would have a 80 gig partition, and 2 100 gig partitions, its running windows, from the 80 gig partition i decided to take out 20 gigs when i installed windows, anyways the hard drives full and i never put those 20 unammounted gigs to any use, how can i get them to become a part of the original 80 gig partition agagin?

Paragon Partition manager can do this. There isn't any free software that will but paragon is worth a look

U took out 20 gig so is that free space which hasn't been converted to a partition. If so then u can just resize the partition. But only if the 80 gig partition to in front of the 20 gig unallocated space. I maybe wrong but I think this is how it works. If u use patition commander or partition magic they have graphical user interface which shows u the partitions in form of bar chart like interface. easier they also disable the resize ooption if u cant do that.

Am not entirely sure so execute at your own risk and backup your data first! Perhaps ask at

Yeah, you can do it, dead easy as well if you use partitioning programs. I personally use Partition Magic for everything, but I do have a friend or two that use others but I cannot for the life of me remember what they are at this time of night.
