Unable to Extend Partitions at Disk Management

Whenever we come across the fact that a particular volume or disk drive is probably getting full. We automatically start to find ways to extend the volume. And the most frequent of them all is using “Disk Management” Now, disk management is a disk prompt given by Windows to be used by the users. It basically controls various disk operations regarding formatting, deleting, extending or merging the volumes or drives.

But when we finally open Disk Management all ready to extend the volume, we choose our disk and right click over it. There it is staring in our face, extend volume greyed out it means we cannot extend partition using disk management anymore.

Why Disk Management fails to extend volume

The most specific reasons as to why disk management fails to extend the partition of our particular drive are the unavailability of the unallocated space. Unallocated space refers to the free space retrieved by the Windows from other parts of the drives, which has to be added in a particular drive to extend the space.

The issue is likely to arise in SBS 2011 server edition of the Windows, but other operating systems may have the same type of error.

But in this case, as no unallocated space is present, we are unable to extend volume. Another essential factor in this whole equation is the no authority as an administrative. Admin or administrative is the primary user of the Windows and has got permissions for various critical services and programs of the windows to operate with.

If you haven’t made your way of extending the volume on your drive with Disk Management, these two factors are the main reasons behind it. But if you had some stroke of luck and pulled your way through extend option using Disk Management, you still can’t perform the action without fully formatting or deleting the volume first. Which means all of your valuable data will be lost.
