Hi! So my hard drive is currently partitioned and I'm having trouble unpartitioning it, I've deleted the volume in the partition but when I got to extend the volume on my hard drive I can't select the option, thanks for the help in advance!

By not showing up do mean like you cannot see it on your My Computer tab or what?

Wow! That worked! Thank you so much! You don't know how much I appreciate that. Anyway I can repay you? :) Maybe a cheap game on steam? I only have a $2 in my wallet so if there is a game you want that's around that price range just give me your steam name and tell me what game! :D

haha im good man just glad it worked. your welcome

i just figured when you removed the volume you essentially unsigned the drive leaving it with no directory. since it was being picked up but wasn't shown, much like emptying the recycle bin where even though you deleted it, the files are still there just left with no directory so its not visible
