| Guest | extending the C: partition I read that to be able to extend the C: partition in vista (using the partition software in VISTA) the empty space need to be to the right. I did free some space to the right but did not manage to extend the C: partition (my computer was shipped with only one partition of 30Gb on a hard drive of 120 Gb...  Now, the question: Does the empty space have to be *directly *to the right of the partition that I want to extend? In that case I understand why I cannot do it. I have two partitions in between the empty space (wich is to the far right) and my C: So: My C: is basically full and I cannot install new software etc ... need to extend the C: How do I do it??
