Can't extend windows 7 partition, even though I have 40gb of unallocated space?

Can someone help? I am in computer management in Windows 7 and would like to somehow use "unallocated space" of 40gb to further expand and extend my Windows 7 partition of 325gb, but the option is grayed out.   I can shrink the Windows 7 Partition,
but can't seem to extend it. 
In the diagram, this is the order of my partitions:
325gb (Windows 7, NTFS & Primary Partition), 89.13gb (Ubuntu (Linux) 10.04 & primary partition), 3.82gb free space, 39.75gb unallocated space, and 7.79gb for a recovery/respawn (oem) partition (primary partition).
Anyone know if its the order of my partitions thats the problem and thats why i can't seem to extend the partition?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks 

Are you sure all the unallocated space is exactly behind your partition that you want to extend? If not, I think that’s why the extend option is grayed out.
But, don’t de depressed! If you cannot extend your partition in the built-in Disk Management, you also can try some partition resizing tools to help you out, like GParted, IM-Magic Partition Resizer Free and EaseUS Partition Master, etc.
Most importantly, no matter which one you choose to use, you’ d better back up everything important well in case of data loss.

    I cannot sync my iPad or iPhone to iTunes on my Windows 8 PC, even though I have been doing this successfully for years. I have been through all the troubleshooting steps I can find in iTunes, to no avail. Help please?

    I seem to be having the same problem on my Windows 8 laptop... I am able to update my iPod Nano through iTunes but my iPhone is not recognized as a device in iTunes. Have been able to update my iPad until recently. Is this a bug fix that Apple can help with? I'd rather not uninstall all my Apple programs if I can avoid it...

    i can't access to wi fi even though i have a good signal and the router is working properly (my laptop works perfectly)

    Try rebooting the router and see if that helps. unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    You can also try restarting your iPad. 
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    Hi, When I try to sync my iphone not all the music in my itunes library syncs successfuly even though I have a lot of space left and I have the 'sync all music' option selected. Any idea? Thanks

    While you're correct in that Windows media won't sync to the iPhone (or any i-device), the OP states that all the music is in iTunes.  If its in iTunes, it would no longer be in Windows media format since it would have been transcoded to whatever the user sets as their import preference (AAC, mp3, etc.), and once that is done then the media should be able to sync to the iPhone just fine.
    To Steph, do the missing songs play OK in iTunes? If not then they could be corrupted in some way.  If they play fine in iTunes but don't sync, are they unchecked in iTunes? They won't sync to your iPhone if it is set to ignore unchecked items.  Finally, if these are iTunes purchases, are they protected format? (i.e. m4p files)  If so, is your computer authorized to play them? (you'd know if you try to play them in iTunes, it would prompt you for the account password if not authorized)

  • I can't update my iphone iOS even though i have tried several times, did anyone have that problem?

  • Why can't I download FIFA 13 even though I have loads of space?

    When I try to download FIFA 13 it just says you don't have enough local storage available even though I have 1.9 gb free and the game is just 1.3.

    I'm having the same problem, I have 3 gb of space but it still won't download and I'm confused because in the game description it says you must have 16 gb or above and the 4th gen iPod comes with 16 gb so that would have to be the only thing on your iPod which isn't reasonable because its mainly used for music and we all take pictures every now and then but in the game info it says you only need 1.48 gb which I obviously have.

  • Can't expand my data partition even though there's free space on the drive

    Hi there
    I recently purchased a 120gb SSD to put in my mac mini. In preparation for this, I created a second partition on my drive as a data drive where I will store things in order to make a time machine backup with the 120gb drive. Everything went as planned, except now, I cannot expand my data partition to use the whole disk. Below is a screen capture of what I'm talking about:
    To accomplish putting my OS on only 120GB of hard drive, I've made symbolic links for most of the folders in my ~/ folder
    This is what the ~/ Folder looks like on my Macintosh HD partition
    This is where these files are actually located
    As far as I can gather, the only way I can combine these partitions now is to re-format the entire drive, which as you can see would cause me many problems.
    Does anyone know how to expand a partition "upwards" for lack of a better term? I'm fairly new to Mac, so any help would be appreciated
    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, there is no way to expand the partition upwards. As you noted, you would need to either start afresh, or simply find a good use for the first partition.

  • TS1717 i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes: they will not play in my windows media center even though i have added them to that location. any idea what other trouble shooting i can attempt on this issue??

    i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes and they will not play in my windows media center. i have never had this problem but the two tracks play on my PC just not in the windows media center and usually all my itunes music plays in there no problem??? any idea what to do? thanks

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

  • Why can't I access a folder even though I have permissions?

    Ok here goes.
    Our network in school is mainly Windows based, I have one of two macs in the school, the other belonging to one of my staff so this is something that we both need fixing.
    Until a month or two ago, we had administrator rights to the network, hiwever due to an internal overtake of the IT Support dept, this is no longer possible.
    Our file server is structured as follows:
    File Server
         Shared
         StaffShared
         Users$
              Pupils
                   Intake 07
                   Intake 06 (and so on)
              Staff
                   first.surname (and so on)
    The issue that I have is that when I connect to the file server using my credentials, I can see the Shared and Staff Shared folders, however Users$ isn't there. (Because I presume its hidden?) Now, my credentials only give me permission to my Home Drive inside Users$/Staff. I don't have permission for Users$ and Staff!
    My original intention was to actually set these up to mount via AppleScript, so that I could have Staff Shared, Shared, and my Home drive (inside Users$/Staff) mounted with one click.
    Shared and Staff Shared mount without issue this way, however I've been unable to mount my home drive. Even If i set the full path of my home drive up, It tries to Mount Users$, and it does, but it has the little No Entry sign and I can't open it.
    Does anybody have any suggestions?
    (also code for AppleScript would be appreciated, I'm a total novice to this stuff, I'm a Performing Arts Tech)
    PS. IT Support won't be able to help because they have no clue about Macs!
    Cheers
    Joe

    This is a screen capture from the OmniSweeper that I hope will clarify my description: the top marked area is omni's drive list screen, showing just what I get through the disk utility (297GB used -- I added some files since the first post). The area below, where the arrow points, is the analysis of the usage of the same (only) hard drive -- showing only 116GB in use.
    And following your advice BGreg I ran the "empty free space", this is afterwards.

  • Can i still sync my files even though i have corrupted files?

    so i just put my itunes library on my new mac laptop from my pc. on my pc i have that stupid thing where it says it lost the pathway and i guess the files are now corrupted. BUT they still play on my ipod. I have synced my ipod several times not realizing this could cause a issue on my ipod, but the songs are still playing on my ipod but not my pc. so now the songs wont play on my mac either, but still play on my ipod. i want to download some more songs, but i am afraid to sync my mac and my ipod now for fear that it will replace the songs that work, with the corrupted files. also, i used my ipod as a external hard drive to transfer the files and haven't set it back up to do an automatic sync because once again i am afraid of losing the songs. the songs that are corrupt are ones from cds and ones i downloaded off itunes. but when i go to try to download the songs i already purchased, it doesn't get them all.
    help?

    if the error you are getting is a disk copy error when trying to sync the ipod, then that error normally halts the sync process. that would be why you "synced" your ipod but the songs still play on your ipod... if you have a back up of your computer, then you can find and delete the file that is giving the read or copy error and replace it with your back up.
    very important! if you are actually getting read or copy errors, then your disk may be beginning to fail. make sure that you have a good back up. if not then make one as soon as possible. as the saying goes, there are 2 kinds of hard disks: those that have failed and those that are going to fail... so protect yourself and make a back up if you wish to avoid the pain of loosing files.
    if some other problem is happening, like the some files have been mistakenly deleted (outside of itunes) and itunes just cant find the files anymore, than that is a matter of resorting the files from a back up. i believe itunes will also halt a sync if it can't find a file...
    there is a shareware utility called "podworks" which allows you to copy a song from your ipod and restore it to your computer if you've lost the song from your hard disk... but it will only copy what is still on your ipod, meaning that if you do a sync and some files get deleted from your ipod in the process, then you'll have to restore them another way. you can find podworks on versiontracker.com

  • I can't open my Adobe programs, even though I have paid

    I paid for the student's CC about 2 months ago, and a box keeps popping up saying my free trial is over, and I have to provide a serial number. Where can I find this? I purchased the subscription directly from adobe.com, and when I click "buy now" from the box that says my trial is over, it keeps telling me, I already have an account - which I can not enter. I can't open any of the Adobe programs!

    Apple ID on ipad is showing as mine but when i try to download apps, it says can not connect to itunes store.

    please help

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Can't install iMovie HD 6 even though i have iLife '08

    i have iLife '08, yet i cannot install iMovie HD 6 (i downloaded it from the support site). What could be wrong?

    If iMovie 08 is not installed, you cannot install iMovie HD6 from the free download.
    I don't think that this is correct. My iMac has the PowerPC chip, and therefore IMovie 08 could not be installed. Installation of the rest of the iLife 08 suite was completed without a problem. Once that was done, I learned (I forgot how) that I could get a free download of iMovie HD 6. The only difficulty that I encountered was what I described in my previous post, which was not finding the new program in the dock.
