There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation

[Jzhet]

Hello, Im trying to extend my partition because I have 112GB of unallocated space, but when I extend I get this message " There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation ", so I tried to create a new partition from my unallocated space and displays this message: The size of extent is less than the minimum.

 

Are there a way to fix this problem without lossing data or formatting?

 

Its an HDD, I tried to defrag but it doesn't affected

The partitioning of this disk looks a bit odd with partition D being dynamic and seemingly split across two partitions, plus recovery and boot on there rather than the boot drive.  Any idea how you ended up with this configuration as I'd think this would cause fragmentation on a HDD?

 

I'd suspect it may also be an MBR partition scheme, which would explain why it wont let you add another partition as it only allows 4 primary partitions.

 

Either way its going to be a pain if indeed that boot partition on the HDD is being used to boot the OS as any changes could result in breaking the boot process.
