Re partition hard drives

EvanCarpentier · Jul 6, 2016

Ok, so I recently deleted a dual boot system, but when I installed the second OS, I had to re partition my 2nd hard drive, that also contains all of my games. So I deleted all the partitions that contained files from my second OS, but I want to get all that space back, for use on windows 10.
But how?

Some extra stuff:

I have a 2TB hard drive, but after the partition crap, it is now only 500GB
Running Windows 10 as my main OS
2nd OS was SteamOS (A gaming platform) (store.steampowered.com/steamos/)

Hey there, Evan.

If I've understood you correctly, you've just deleted the partitions, but haven't created new one/s and that what you want to do?
If this is correct, all you have to do is open Disk Management and follow the tutorial from this link: How to partition and format a drive on Windows and Mac OSX. Just click on the instructions for Windows 10 and follow the guide.

Please let me know how it goes and don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.

Boogieman_WD :

Not exactly, I am trying to extend my main partition that has all my games on it, so that it uses the full hard drive capacity, without deleting my games in the process. Sorry If I am making this more confusing than it should be.

If the hard drive's unallocated space (the part with the black border in Disk Management) is next to the partition you want to extend on the right side, just click with the right mouse button on the partition e.g. D: and select "extend volume" and follow the wizard in order to add the unpartitioned space to it.
