Re: Hard drive management - extend
Your D drive is a factory Restore Partition provided by Dell to recover your
computer to a factory shipped condition and should not be used for anything
else.
If you made recovery DVDs, or order them from Dell, you can delete the partition
and extend C to take up the recovered space. Or you can shrink C (although you
might have limited success with this because of the page file) and create a
larger D volume. I believe D cannot be extended as it is now because it is not
NTSF formatted,
