Ways To Increase C Drive

I have allocated 100GB For C Drive and after upgrading to Win 8 a huge amount of free space has been taken up by Win 8.

Now I'm left with 0 bytes on C. I have to clear history, uninstall some (less important) programs for everyday use.

But I want some permanent solution.

NOTE : I know, formatting and allocating more space will do. But I don't want to format my PC.

So is there any way like I can migrate New HDD to C Drive? Or something like RAID (Not the Mirrored One), the Stripped one which writes few data on one drive and few on other?

Is this possible? Or any other solution?

I have some free space left of approx. 65GB. But I'm unable to extend C Drive as the partition table is like...

C: => E: => F: => G: => Free Space.

Dont know about migrating stuffs BUT

If you can u can Transfer all your data from Second partition [usually Drive D] and delete it
Using Diskmgmt.msc you can extend your C Drive to Right side

[note : Note if u have any O.S file on partition right side of Win8 ' partition , and you delete it , you might have booting issue's ]

[note: Using this way you can extend C drive all to right -AFTER COPying all data from Drive D,E ,F etc to your second Drive ] ,SO i think technically you can use Disk 0 entirely for O.S if needed ] and aall data's on Disk 1[second disk]

Hmm. Seems like a good idea. Thanks

AFAIK You can extend the space by an app
Partition magic

I know. But I was not looking for the App. I'm aware about the Apps. I was looking for the way.

So the idea given by Rajesh seems good. I was always thinking of migrating Free Space with C Drive. But didn't thought of I could move those data from D Drive to Free Space and Migrate C and D.

do not use windows in built disk manager to modify C drive because most likely it will convert your disk to dynamic & you do not want this.use easeus partition master home free edition instead.

Yeah. I was planning to use that only.

The default application by Microsoft never works. Use a Third Party tool like Easus, Partition magic or Mini Tool partition Wizard. Extending should not cause any problem when you have free space.

Never ever use that app on win 8. Never

YOu planning to screw OP

Well. I don't know why you were suggesting not to use EaseUS in Win 8. But it did my job. I have shifted all the data from D Drive to that Free Space (After creating a new partition there). And Merged C and D. Now I have whopping 200GB on C. Hope that will do until Win 9

Thanks to all

@Pratyush, I'd really like to know the reason. I'm not aware of the thing.

^ That app corrupts Win 8! many of my friends got screwed after trying it

BTW Link 1 and Link 2

Thanks for the link. I was not aware that it gets into problems on Win 8.

But it did the Merge and Resize job perfectly for me. Thank God

Anyway, thanks again Rajesh345 for the idea..!!

It didn't came in my mind

Hi Krisnandu, I had same problem like you. I allocated 50GB for my c drive and I had to increase it to at least 100GB. I came know about EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.0 Home Edition software from this forum. It fantastic I just borrowed some space from D drive and increased my C drive.

Nice..!!

Anyway closing
