    You have two physical hard drives shown.  Disk 0 contains C: and is full, Disk 1 contains some free space and D:

    You cannot extend C: across two physical drives.  You could probably move C: onto the other drive, but then you would need to alter the boot drive in your system BIOS.

    Hi, I ain't an expert but I can make a guess. Try splitting D, say, 30 GB + 8GB, I mean, make a new partition out of D. Then try extending C. I think your OS needs at least 2 primary partitions. Not sure if it will work, but try!! Good luck.

    Guess what, 

    I know exactly what you're talking about..I followed your steps until I had  

    (C:) -- UNallocated -- (D:) 

    And I completely emptied D drive and even formatted it... Then right clicked C .. and I still can't extend.  

    Now this is challenging! what's going on ? any idea ? and here's a Screen shot
