If you do not know how to perform the operation, please submit a ticket and our staff will perform it for you. Select the ticket type as: Disk expansion/merge/partition mounting. A fee will be charged.

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

windows2003 system:

After restarting, click Start -- Run, enter cmd, and open 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 add all remaining space to D drive)

The operation process is shown in the figure (the text in the red box is the entered command)

 Note: Use the volume number corresponding to the actual drive letter to be merged.

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