Hi, I have some disk space marked New Volume Primary Partition that has no
data and I want to reallocate this space but when I click on one of the other
Partitions, the Extend Volume options in NOT available. This space is not
being used and I would appreciate help on how to redistribute (the 70G) of
New volume unused disk space? Thank you, Bob

You need to delete the partition.

So your answer tells him how to redistribute the 60GB of volume space? Wow,
I didn't know it was that easy.

Thanks Gordon, now I have a "C" Drive with 281G, an "D" Drive with 48G and
"E" Drive with 117G. I would like to reallocate some of the space in the "C"
Drive (Primary) to the "D" and "E" Drives (Logical) but when I RIGHT click on
"C" I have an option to Shrink Volume but when I RIGHT click on either the
"D" or "E" Drives, Extend Volume is light grey (i.e. not available). How do I
move space from "C" to "D" and "E"? Thanks, Bob

If D and E are empty, then just delete them, shrink C and re-create the two
other partitions. Otherwise you will have to use third-party software to
"slide" the free space created by shrinking C to the other side of D or
E.....

Thanks Gordon, I found a free copy of EaseUp Partitition 2.1 and it made the
job pretty simple, all set now thank you.
