If there isn't, Vista doesn't allow you to extend it. Another reason might be the C drive is FAT but not NTFS. Windows Vista doesn't support FAT extension or shrink. Here is a free tool help you to extend Vista C drive freely and even there is no unallocated space or the partition is FAT. http://www.partition-tool.com/resource/resize-vista-partition.htm Hi Simon,

My computer came with 2 drives already partitioned straight from the store and I want to merge them together. I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I have followed the instructions above but when I right click the C drive, the EXTEND VOLUME is greyed out. All I want to do is merge all of my space onto C. Thanks for all of your help.

I found a nice free software: Easus Partition Master 4.0 Home edition. It is so intuitive to use. You can visualize move your partition on the disk (new start point) expand or shrink with clicks... This is genious user interface and effective software... And free. After a night of search for a solution, I got it, it worked... Ok it took 15 minutes to execute the move of the partition. but once done, you reboot and windows 7 complains a bit initially but launches as expected... Great. Microsoft should eye this company... Intuitive user interface that is great engineering!
