Is there any reason why I can't merge this unallocated space

>>56449434
>recovery partition
hahaha

>>56449434
You have to make it allocated so make a partition to it and then merge.

>>56449520
Already tried that. Doesn't work.

What in fuck's name do people do with 5TB of space?

It still takes me forever just to fill 50 gigs

>>56449534
Vidya games, anime, music, photos etc.

Hoarding porn and movies/tv shows/video games/anime and comics/manga fills up your data real fast
My 2 tb internal hard disk and 1 tb external have already started runnning out

Install mint using that unallocated space

Back your shit up. Pop in your Windows 7 install disc and go to advanced during the setting up hard disks part. Delete all the recovery partitions. Now extend the NTFS partition to take up all the rest of the space. If it doesn't let you do that, try deleting the NTFS partition and then making a new one that fills up all the rest of the space (you might not be able to do that, Windows 7 loves forcing you to make recovery partitions; if you can't get it to make a single NTFS partition, I recommend finding an old Windows XP ISO to do it, or a Linux livecd that is capable of making NTFS partitions).

That's the thing. This drive was cloned from an HDD that came in a laptop that I bought, which had Windows 10 preinstalled on it, so I don't have an installation disc.

The Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

Use a Linux livecd.

Anyone know if you can format hard drives to NTFS in Knoppix?

You cant edit the partition you are operating off of. Pop in ubuntu live cd/usb and hit "try ubuntu" then open gparted. (preinstalled) resize in there as you are operating off of usb. Then just take out live cd/usb and reboot

>>56449585
Just download a windows 7 iso from the net you dumbfuck
Or use loonix

This

>>56449434
literally everyone in this thread is fucking retarded
OP, the reason you can't do that is because you have 3 (THREE) partitions in front of C:

just remove those three and merge the space into one big C:

Windows/NTFS is shit. You'd probably have to redo everything.

>>56449434
>>56449672 has the easiest answer, If you have a usb drive with windows on it, you don't need a recovery partition.

Alternatively, you can use clonezilla, move those other partitions and then grow the C: partition. You may have to preform startup repair in windows recovery.

>>56449796
sorry, i just said to remove them because actually shifting them takes FUCKING AGES
it should be clear that you can do this though

>>56449796
Better hope those Windows keys are stored in the BIOS lmao.

>>56449830
he has less than 14G worth of data that'd need to be moved, it wouldn't take that long

this can all be done in gparted (there's a gparted livecd, and almost any desktop distribution livecd includes gparted as well)
