Hello,

 

I bought a new Samsung Evo SSD and with a lot of tears, fighting and raging I managed to make it my boot drive.

Now my problem is that my old Seagate 1TB HDD (which I am still going to use for music, pics etc.) is in 4 different partitions. I think that those 450MB are like recovery/reliability partition, but can someone tell me how to merge the other 3? I've tried to delete them and then extend the "Storage (D:)" but it doesn't allow me.

 

Thanks in  advance! :)

Alright ive been searching and trying in a vm, but i dont know why you cant merge those. And ofc if you delete a partition you lose data. There is a program who can solve this. http://download.cnet.com/MiniTool-Partition-Wizard-Free-Edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html

Try check Minitool Partition Manager free edition, more user friendly imo.

Weird that it wont let you, I recently did just that with my friends laptop. His OS partition was full from updates and he had 2 unused partitions so I just deleted them and extended them onto the OS partition.
