Go to solution Solved by FrowningHippo,

The general gist is that you need to allocate unallocated space to a partition. You could use this mediocre video by some dude who thinks he knows computers for a reference.

 

Edit: Watch it first. This explains how you can allocate the space.

Edit edit: Specificly watch 2:45 till 4:00. That's what you have to do.
