Re: Using Unallocated Space

You cannot extend the boot partition C:

You will have to either start over from scratch and reinstall with this
partition limitation else create a second partition of the unallocated space
and move things about a bit.

Was this a pre-installed server?

Always best to plan and build to your own spec.
