Tips :

You can use free  disk partition software like

• Parted Magic
• GParted

Extend volume disable

Extend partition feature only works with contiguous  unallocated space ie. partition whose  border are touching one another.

Here you can see that ulallocated space and c drive shares a common border and it comes to its right side ,,, this is the reason you will  find the extend volume disabled . ( in my case  D drive 162.5 gb). To fix this type of problem you can use third party software.
