If you do not know how to operate, please submit a ticket and our staff will perform the operation for you. Select the ticket type as: reset disk partitions (merge extra disk into D drive), Linux remount partition, etc. (fees will apply)

First, please check whether virtual memory is set on the partition you want to extend to. If so, cancel virtual memory first and restart.

After restarting, click Start -- Run, enter cmd, and enter the command window, as shown in the figure:

Enter the following commands in sequence:

diskpart              Enter
list  volume         Enter (displays volumes; find the D drive volume number, e.g.: Volume 1)
select volume 1  Enter (1 here represents D drive)
extend                Enter (means adding all remaining space to D drive)

The operation process is shown in the figure (the red boxes contain the entered commands):

Final prompt: DiskPart successfully extended the volume. This indicates the expansion is complete. Just close the command window and check whether the D drive space has become larger.
