unalocated section of Hard Drive

Thread needs solution

How do I get rid of an unallocated section of my hard drive so that I can use the whole hard drive?

post a screen capture of your disk as viewed in Windows Disk Management graphical view. The instructions will depend upon how the partitions are configured.

If it's a relatively small section, you might want to just leave it alone. Sometimes trying to allocate every last sapce can make a hdisk start to behave a bit wonky. Some tracks are outside teh reliable read zone. Some are reserved by the disk maker as a source of replacements when bad sectors are found. . . Also, Vista and W7 typically instll with a small reserved partition to which it assigns no drive letter and this is used for certain system file data, such as the boot manager. Some PC makers also put some program installation files in the reserved partition.

My problem is. Half of my 2TB drive is unallocated. Within the program there seems to be no way to undo it. Windows only shows half of the drive too. I was trying to clone my 1TB drive on to a 2TB. Both drives are NVME 2.0.
