HDD not partioned properly

**smybio7e** · 27-09-2009

Hello, my hard drive is partitioned so badly that windows takes 3 mins to start up and this is very frustrating

here is an image that best describes the problem;

I want to do something with the green 97.65 Free space that is part of the extended partition but i cant delete it trough Computer Managment > Storage > Disk Managment

Any assistance will... make me happy

You can try a third party formatting tool which will help you to fix up your partition issue. Before try this out. Open My Computer and right click on the partition > properties. Go to Tools and click on first two options. In the first option Error Checking select the two options and run it. Then try Defgramention after that. After that if there still the issue then download and try Partition Magic.
