| Jun 6 at 21:35 | comment | added | Craig Tullis | @Aganju Another problem is that Windows stuck that partition at the end making it impossible to extend the primary volume. This is an extra big problem with VM's. I just added 100GB to one, but I can't extend the volume because the lame recovery partition is in the way. It's definitely worth the effort to get rid of it, and it would be even better if it hadn't been stuck there in the first place. | |

| Jan 11, 2016 at 20:46 | comment | added | Ian Boyd | @Ramhound I need whatever Windows requires in order to convert a Basic disk into a Dynamic disk. I don't need the full 450MB of that partition back - i only need like 500kB that Windows needs. Strictly speaking i don't need anything - it's the error while converting a basic disk to dynamic. And Microsoft notes that you have to give it some free space. | |

So don't take it as affront, but as an indication that people are willing to fully understand your issue. | |
| Jan 9, 2016 at 1:29 | comment | added | Aganju | Do you realize that that that disk is only 450 MB? You would have 111.60 GB instead of 111.25 GB for your C: drive. Hardly worth any effort. | |
