I have got 250 gb harddisk but i am not able to transfer amount of free space from one drive to another?

hi,


I have got a 250 gb hard disk. The partitions are as follows:





Two primary drives one of 130 Gb and other of 15 gb


One logical drive of 90 Gb





Now the problem is that when i reduce the size of 130 gb harddisk, i cannot use the free space to transfer to the logical drive





Kindly help.


I btw tried using partition manager and also EASEUS Partition|||The reason you cannot is because the logical drive isn't located in a contiguous space next to the primary. When you move space between partitons you basically just move the begin and end markers, so in your case you actually have 3 partitions, one for each primary drive and a third that is the logical drive. The 15GB (recovery partition?) is between the 130GB and the 90GB.


Some software, partiton magic for instance; is clever enough to shuffle all of the space around directly on its own while others, possible the EASEUS, requires that you manually move it from the 130 to the 15 and then from the 15 to the 90.
