So I was messing around with a few linux distros the other day, and now I have come to unistall some of them. To my horror, I have accidentally remove and made one of the partitions into unallocated disk space. But this isn't really an issue anymore since I have installed another distro (one which I like). But the thing is, this unallocated space bothers me a lot because I have no idea to extend it to my primary drive (CSmile and do not know what to do with it.

Is there a way to remove this and be able to extend it without reformatting all drives, or is it better to just leave it alone?

Will that really work as he has a System Reserved in between the unallocated and his third partition? Iirc the unallocated space has to be right next to eachother.

He could throw it into system recovery but what would be the point.

My post was more towards a how-to of dealing with partitions and extending them in general.

There isn't really a point to that because whenever I right click the system recovery partition, it just shows "Help" on the context menu. So I don't think I would be able to do that.

What I was thinking in case this cannot be fixed, I could always turn it into another drive that is only 5gb big Neutral, but I don't think it will be of any use for me I believe. I could add flashdrive backups I guess? I don't know Smile

Is there any actual reason to have this many partitions with different OS's on each one? I doubt you actually use all of them for a legitimate purpose.

If you need to test an OS, why not just use a virtual machine instead?

Some of those partitions are ones that came from this computer I bought (it's prebuilt, but it was cheap). There are only 2 OS's on this computer which uses 2 different partitions and the rest are actually recovery partitions, which I think they are. And lastly, those 2 os' are the main operating systems will serve their purposes on a daily usage.

try Acronis Disk Director. you can merge, split, copy, move, extend, and shrink partitions there.
