[SOLVED] Expand Windows Volume (incorrect partition order)

[gray squirrel 0]

So I am just moving my gaming rig into a VM and I went to expand my Vdisk from 100G to 200G following Spaceinvader One video

 

 

However, The windows recovery partition is in the wrong place, so I can't extend the C drive. Is there a way to manage the partitions in a Vdisk, so I can move it out of the way?

Fixed, just used a free partition management tool and moved the recover Partition to the end.

I don't see a dropdown for vdisk capacity in my unraid gui like in the video.   What am I doing wrong?

If you click on the VM name it displays the a disk info. Just edit the value for the one you want to change

I am facing the same issue (and even an additional).

 

1) What tool did you use and what partition did you move?

 

2) Oddly enough, mine even shows 4 partitions? Two data/boot partitions that I plan to merge. 1 system partition and 2 (!) recovery partitions. When right-click, it only shows "help". Can I delete it?

 

Thanks!

Any thoughts?

I just set up a windows vm and forget to adjust the initial size of 30g.  I went to increase the capacity and got the same problem.  I downloaded Paragon Partition Manager: https://www.paragon-software.com/us/free/pm-express/

 

Resized the partitions easily.

Thanks. Do you also have two recovery partitions and did you delete one?

Any thoughts on above? I still have two recovery partitions and wondering whether I should delete one? That's on-top of the boot/data partition and the system partition.

And on separate note, I had tried to expand the disk further. It changed from 1.5TB to 2.0TB, but this didn't do anything. I then tried 1.8TB instead, but it changes it to 2TB automatically. The disk size though stays at 1.5TB and no additional unallocated space exists in disk manager.
