Can't make drive bigger

[Kanna]

There is a unused storage space of 200GB that I can't assign to the 600GB volume (it's the same disk) all I get is errors can't even create a volume of the 200GB

Considering you haven't provided any useful details, I am going to assume you are trying to use Windows Disk Manager to expand a already existing partition. I never use Windows Disk Manager, as it sucks and always needs weird conditions to be met. If this partition is the partition you booted from, you will need to use a bootable device or a app like partition wizard. If not, I still suggest you to use partition wizard and try expanded the volume with that.

Is there anything on the other 400GB partition ?
If not, you can just delete that partition and it should automatically link up the unassigned space for one big unassigned storage space of 600GB.

 

Otherwise, if there is something, like, say, windows, you'll probably need to either use diskpart (command lines) or use a software like the bootable Gparted, to increase the size of the partition through the GUI.

There is no 400GB so I assume you mean the 200GB if so it's empty it's just unallocated storage

I just did 600 - 200 = 400GB. If you meant it was a 600GB partition, that's that.

 

By that I meant the other partition on the same drive. There's the 200 unallocated space, and the ... 600GB ? that's allocated.

Can you delete that other partition ?

 

If not, use Gparted to extend it.

what I mean is that it's a 1TB drive but only 600GB is allocated and the 200 can't be allocated

Alright, so can you delete the 600GB allocated yes or no?

 

In any case, use Gparted and it should be able to fix this.
