I may not be much help because I don't use the Disk Management tool for such
things, but I think I know why you are having that problem. After shrinking
D: you probably have the free space AFTER D:, but to expand C: you need the
free space either before or most likely after C: partition. Does Disk
Management have an option to move D: to after the free space? If not, there
are many tools out there that can do that.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Extend partition
Myhard drive is partitioned into 2 drives.
Drive C: is the boot drive (of course) and using the computer
management>Disk Management tool I want to exted it from 80GB to 180GB.
Drive D was shrunk by 100 GB and I now have about 100GB of space available
to extend C: with.
When I right click on drive C: the Extend Volume option is greyed out and
not accessible.
Within the Disk Management tool drive C: and space I want to use to extend
it are identified as follows:
Drive C: Simple Basic NTFS Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary
partition
Space: 97.66 GB Free Space
What do I need to do to extend drive C:?
