Free and Open Source
GParted is available at no cost, and its source code is open for anyone to inspect, modify, and distribute.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
GParted can run on a variety of operating systems, including Linux, Windows (through live CDs/USBs), and macOS.
User-Friendly Interface
GParted provides a graphical user interface that is easy to navigate, making partition management accessible to both novice and experienced users.
Supports Multiple Filesystems
GParted supports a wide range of filesystems such as NTFS, FAT, ext3, ext4, and many more, offering flexibility in managing different types of storage.
Active Community Support
The project has an active community and extensive documentation, which makes it easier to find help and troubleshoot issues.
Live CD/USB Availability
It can be used via a live CD/USB without needing to install the software on your system, which is especially useful for system recovery and partitioning tasks.
Finally, I had to use GParted in order to memory changes within the VM disk. The idea was to use GParted ISO file to boot your VM. It comes with a simply GUI that helps you to manually enable memory expansion of selected partition.

As a retro tech enthusiast I beg of you not to trash them. Put them on facebook marketplace, craigslist, ebay, whatever. Nerds like me will take them off your hands happily, and regular people can still use them for daily tasks. I’m typing this out on a 2014 macbook pro, and I use a 2011 imac for any fun side projects I like doing so I don’t mess up my main PC. You can also donate them to goodwill or salvation…

If the recovery partition is between them you will have to move the recovery partition into the empty space using something like Gparted on a USB stick and then expand the C partition with disk partition or easeUS.

Where you trying to extend E: or F:?
In any way I’ve heard that GParted may help with partition problems like this altough I’m not really sure.

In order to extend a partition, the unallocated space must immediately follow the partition. If there’s something between the partition and the unallocated space, then you’ll need to use a more sophisticated partition manager to rearrange things. GParted can do this, for example. I think Macrium Reflect can do this, too, though I usually use it for cloning.

I’d suggest you create a bootable USB drive with GParted on it, and boot that up to see if that recognizes the missing storage space on your drive. GParted is an awesome tool which has saved me many times when I have encountered problems with storage devices. I don’t know why, but it always seems to be able to access drives when Windows’ built-in tools fails. If GParted can’t find your missing storage space, I’d…

Use a GParted Live ISO to resize the partitions. Make sure you have backups of anything important.

Is https://gparted.org/ the website? Looks sketchy.

There are free open source options, also. GParted is a good example, but it doesn’t install in Windows, instead you’ll have to boot off an ISO file, make your changes, then reboot into Windows.

When I do a clean install I use GParted (https://gparted.org/) installed on a USB drive using Rufus (https://rufus.ie/en/) to delete the old partitions that way the drives appears like a “fresh” drive when installing Windows or Linux. Great little utility to manage drive partitions.

Use an offline partition editor like GPartEd ( https://gparted.org/ ) to resize the partitions. Basically you make a bootable USB with GPartEd, boot it and you can modify the system partitions that are normally locked when the system is in use.

Apart from that, bootable Linux CD/ISO gparted will resize, move, rework partitions (including Windows ones) if you can tolerate the downtime. (Mandatory “have a backup” even though it’s never screwed things up for me to need one).

Usually when I have to do something like this I boot gparted where you’ll be able to move partitions around.

It ended up being even easier: https://gparted.org/ has an ISO that boots linux, X and has gparted. I just added 20g to my root partition.

Windows cannot natively see ext partitions, so try using a partition manager like THIS one. I’ve had a lot of luck with this one. You may want to check out gParted, it is a very powerful partitioning software that was ported from Linux to Windows and other platforms. Hope this helps bro.

Tbh, you sound like me the first time I tried Linux–I was so afraid to modify the hard drive on my Windows (XP–just to date this anecdote) laptop I tried running Fedora on an external hard drive–like, one of those Western Digital towers that go to sleep when they haven’t been used for a minute. What an awful experience that was. Didn’t take me long to work up the guts to fire up GParted and just resize my…
