Accidental Unallocated Space on SSD

Veradun · 17 Apr 2014 at 18:48

Hello, I was just fresh installing Windows 7 64bit onto my SSD, while using another SSD as a storage device. When setting up, I accidentally created a partition on one of the drives, and I'm not sure how to remove it. I'm willing to re-install Windows again if necessary xD

yep, you should do a re-install and unplug the other drive while you do it.

Which partition are we talking about? The 101MB unallocated? If so you can just right click on C: and extend the volume.

You can use also this: http://www.easeus.com/download/epmf-download.html there are several ways to delete/merge partitions. I've used that a good few times in the past.

Yep, the unallocated one. I accidentally clicked new when re-installing 7 and I can't remove it at all, and I already tried extending it but it was greyed out.

Even on the re-install now, it still won't go:

All options greyed out again. So I assume I'll have to try that program then, I assume it's SSD friendly?

just highlight that bottom partition and then delete it. now the whole drive should contain unallocated space and you can choose it.

Ah, never occurred to me to delete partition one xD

Only installed Windows twice and never had that issue before, my greenness shows lol!

Thanks!

You just need to right click the other side of the drive and extend volume.

EDIt: Sorry didn't see that you already tried it.
