Cannot resize the partition C

Hi,
I have a problem with resizing my partition C on Windows 8.1. It only has 28 GB and I have run out of every space. The Disc manager for resizing partitions is not working (every option for a Disc C is greyed out). I downloaded three partition managers: Paragon,
Aomei and one more (don't remember the name, cause I deleted it already). All of them were supported by Windows 8.1 32 bit. And still it was not possible to do anything with the disk C, even though I have a lot of unallocated space to use. 
I also deleted disk D, so that only Disk C was left, and still I couldn't allocate any space to it, only to shrink it.
Can anyone tell me what else can I do?
It is driving me crazy already. Help please.
Marta

Hello,
I used aomei partition assistant before in my windows 8.1, it worked well. do you use "resize partition" in aomei partition assistant to extend you c drive? if you do like this, the unallocated space on your hard disk should be contiguous behind
the partition c, or you can't extend partition. but if the unallocated space is not contigous behind partition c, you an use extend partition wizard or merge partitions to extend partitionc
extend partition wizard: http://www.disk-partition.com/windows-8/change-partition-size-windows-8.html
merge partitions: http://www.disk-partition.com/help/merge-partition.html
 hope can help you

  • Hello, I am trying to upgrade to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error. Resizing the partition does not work, I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot

    Hello, I am trying to upgrade my macbook pro to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error.
    Resizing the partition does not work for me and I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot and the disk manager is lost.
    Anyway to tell the yosemite installer that it should not pay attention whether the disk is bootable or not ?
    If I am doomed, any way to delete the installer and downloaded OS from my hard drive ?
    Thanks for your help

    As usual, the Linux installer wrecked the partition table. You would have to boot from your OS X installation disc and repartition. Doing so will of course remove all data from the drive, so you must back up first if you haven't already done so.

  • Cannot resize system partition due to recovery partition

    Hello.
    I have a 500GB HD (momentus XT) that replaced my default 320GB HD.
    i cannot resize the system partition due to the recovery partition. System keeps on telling me that "map is too small".
    Tried diskutil under osx, under lion bootable recovery usb stick, under diskutil through console.

    Error: -5341: MediaKit reports partition (map) too small
    I want to resize the partition to use the remaining new space i have, of course, and create a bootcamp part.
    I am wondering if i can kill the recovery partition without destroying my lion. As i have the recovery transfered successfully to usb stick using the apple utility, i am able to use it anytime.
    But... just wondering if that would crash my OS or not.
    Or, if anyone sees a way to move the recovery partition to end of the HD so that i can enlarge successfully...

    Thanks to you both, luckily there's only 600GB on that drive at the moment.
    I was wondering, though, why won't it let me make it bigger?
    I already had a 1TB partition in the space below it. The screenshot shows me having already deleted it - but still no option to resize the other (larger) 2TB one.
    If there is a reason why I can't resize now, then I can take that advice and try and make sure it doesn't happen when I reformat it again.
    I would understand if the partition were MBR, but it's not, it's a GUID Partition Table (bottom right), so I'm confused - what is it's problem? ;-)

  • Cannot resize the albums in album view in Itunes 11.  For those of us with large libraries (160gb), this is extremely frustrating.  I want to make the artwork smaller.  This seems to be a serious oversight.

    Cannot resize the albums in album view in Itunes 11.  For those of us with large libraries (160gb), this is extremely frustrating.  I want to make the artwork smaller.  This seems to be a serious oversight.

    I agree.
    It was very useful to reduce everything to small and quickly scan down looking for missing artwork.
    Particularly useful when I only connect to the machine with iTunes via screen sharing, so everything can be a bit slower to scroll through at times.
    In fact, itunes 11 when used purely as a server for Apple TV etc is a downgrade in usability IMO, as they've got rid of some of the useful views that helped me manage my library remotely.

  • I tried partitioning my HD to install linux, the installion was not successful and now I can't boot my mac, I tried internet recovery, it was not helpfull as the disk utility cannot delete the partition I created.

    I tried partitioning my HD to install linux, the installion was not successful and now I can't boot my mac, I tried internet recovery, it was not helpfull as the disk utility cannot delete the partition I created. It was only showing me an error message "EFI files are missing", I realized that it is trying to boot from the new partition I created for the installation of the linux I intended to do.

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • Resizing the partition

    Hi All,
    How can i resizing the partition in RHEL 4U4.
    Thanks.

  • Is it possible to resize the partitions without losing data?

    I have following issue:
    I have dual-boot Arch with Windows XP. I created 4 partitions: 40GB XP's system disk (ntfs), 80GB ntfs data disk, 1GB swap and 25GB Linux partition.
    But I am running XP so rarely, that it is frustrating, that I have most of my data on ntfs partition... I'd like to wipe out that 80GB ntfs, resize the system ntfs partition up to for example 60GB, and add the remaining 60GB to my linux ext3 partition (because I'm running out of free space recently...).
    Has anyone done something like this, and how safe it is (if possible at all)
    Yes, I have read this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Res … _partition, and a few more.
    I just don't have time to reinstall both systems (especially I would not like to install Windows, because I'd rather install Vista from my recovery disk, than hack the XP to work again...), and if some issues are likely to appear, then I'll give it up for now .

    It's trivial using gparted, but as with any similar operation, you run the risk of losing data - so you'd better backup.

  • Cannot resize main partition

    I installed Bootcamp and obviously Bootcamp Assistant reduced my main partition so that it could create a new one for me to install Windows on.  I finished my project and decided I wanted the space back.  Something must have gone wrong when the Bootcamp Assistant removed Bootcamp, because I am left with a 40Gb empty space on my HD. 
    I can't get Disk Utility to resize my main partition into the empty space.  I have looked at many "how tos" and they all show a resize handle at the bottom-right of the partition that can be dragged to expand the partition into the empty space. I don't see that.
    I tried running Disk Utility from the recovery mode Command-R on startup, but I have the same issue there as well.
    Any help appreciated. I would prefer not to have to wipe everything and start again.

  • Cannot resize HFS+ partition

    I am trying to shrink my OS X partition on my HD, as I need more space on other partitions. When I try to get resize info from diskutil, I get the following error:
    %diskutil resizevolume disk0s2 limits
    Error obtaining resizing information (is this a Mac OS 9 compatible "wrapped" HFS volume?)
    Here is my disk partition:

    I don't know if line 2 should say Apple_HFS+ or not, but Disk Utility.app does say its format is "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)." And running Verify Disk on the partition reveals no errors.
    Any idea what is happening here? Thanks for any input.

    Thanks to you both, luckily there's only 600GB on that drive at the moment.

  • Cannot resize guid partition

    I can't resize my partition on a GUID partition table.
    It says "This partition can not be modified"
    I don't understand this as I specifically wiped this drive from being a MBR (DOS compatible) and reformatted it with GUID.
    Can anyone explain this or what I need to do to resize it? (Hopefully not including wiping the entire drive again)

    Last edited by kosgeter (2014-04-30 21:52:13)

    That's a no-no, you can't do that
    To increase the size of sda4, there must be continuous free space after it.
    In your case it's like
    sda4
    sda5
    sda6
    You first reduce sda6 and you get free space after it, you need to move sda6(not just resize it). Also you will need to delete sda5(which is your swap) and remake it.
    Example:
    sda4 - 10GB
    sda5 - 4GB
    sda6 - 100GB
    delete sda5 and resize sda6:
    sda4 - 10GB
    4GB free space
    sda6 - 50GB
    50GB free space
    move sda6:
    sda4 - 10GB
    50GB free space
    sda6 - 50 GB
    4GB free space
    resize sda4 and create swap(sda7):
    sda4 - 60GB
    sda6 - 50 GB
    sda7 - 4GB
    Might I suggest that you use console tools instead of gparted(imho gparted is buggy). The tools in the arch install iso should do fine. Also you can't resize mounted partitions,  so you shouldn't try to touch your arch root partition while using it

  • CANNOT RESIZE THE RECTANGLE/ROUNDED RECTANGLE in Ai CC14

    Hi
    I cannot resize my rectangle shape with the selection tool. Cannot see the bounding box around it and when I hover over the corners of the rectangle a curve appears under the arrowhead. I have tried everything but nothing works.
    Help please. Thanks
    (using cc14 and have uninstalled/installed Ai twice)

    naeem,
    I am afraid you have come across the Live Rectangle bug which is limited to the MAC versions starting with 10.7 and 10.8, but not 10.9 (Mavericks), see this thread linked to below.
    https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1595973
    So a switch to Mavericks with a reinstallation might be the way to solve it here and now.
    To get round it in each case, it is possible to Expand the Live Rectangles to get normal old fashioned rectangles, or to Pathfinder>Unite, or to use the Scale Tool.
    A more permanent way round that is to create normal old fashioned rectangles, after running the free script created by Pawel, see this thread with download link:

  • I cannot resize the selected text and the object in Illustrator

    I am unable to resize the text and the object with transform tool. It resizes but half of it does not. and not that much i want.

    Ok so if i write some text and all the words are of different sizes and i have to resize it using the transform tool, i cannot resize it unto the size i want. e.g.. i wrote this text "The Big Bold Sale" all the words are of different sizes and are grouped together, so when i resize it using transform tool all these words are resized differently "The big" becomes big, "bold" becomes little smaller and "sale" is not resized.. the image is attached.

  • I cannot resize my partition

    So i'm trying to resize my partition, my Macs memory (500gb) is partitioned in half and it shows 250gb for one partition and 250gb for the other which is free

    Back up your data, create a new partition in the free space, restore the contents of Yoseimite to it, select it in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences, delete the partition on the bottom, and resize the one on the top to the drive's capacity.
