    You probably do not select a right partition tool for your partition. In fact, I have ever tried to extend my system partition as it is nearly full. But, as I try to extend it in Disk Management after deleting a useless partition, the “extend” option just cannot be used. Therefore, I finally followed many recommended on the internet and tried many efficient partition management programs, such as:

    IM-Magic Partition Resizer Free

    http://www.resize-c.com/ ****


    EaseUS Partition Master

    http://download.cnet.com/EaseUS-Partition-Master-Free-Edition/3000-2248\_4-10863346.html

    GParted

    http://gparted.sourceforge.net/

    All of them are great tools and have eventually extended my system partition successfully. Till now, I still can clearly remember the extremely user-friendly interface of the first partition tool.

    Just go select one!

    Note: Do not forget to back up everything important in case of data loss.

    If you read the posts above, you need to free up space to the right of drive C. In this case you have a small unused space, 350MB and then a 200GB "Media" B drive.

    I assume you actually want to use the 193GB "New Volume", Drive H, to extend your C drive, but as this is on the other side of Media, you will need to swap them over.

    If this is your intention, then first move all the contents of "Media" into "new Volume". Next delete the Media Drive. You should now have 200GB free space to the right of the C drive into which you can extend.

    However, I would make sure this is what you really want to do. You seem to have 65% free space on your C drive, so why do you need to extend it? In my experience the bulk of storage space is required for Media so perhaps you would be better extending that?

    Your C drive nearly full... no worries and no need to  uninstall programs and stuff. Just follow the instruction in the link below... download AOMEI Partition Assistant... install.. and click on extend Drive section.
