Resolved using the paid version of AOMEI and Allocate Free Space feature from H Drive, which free version/other software didn't have.

Thanks. I've just recreated the 100Gb partition (labelled it H TEMP) and tried moving it to the left but no luck. I've also tried merging it with the C Drive, as below, but it's greyed out - maybe the Attributes gives a clue why, but I don't see what the solution is.

Many thanks - but how do I do that please? Is it just a 'Move Partition' function?

Yes, I did that, as I stated and is shown as such, in "Unallocated" (before I took the screenshot above, when I reverted it back to how it was because it didn't work i.e. the system couldn't 'see' the additional 100Gb available for the C Drive).

Hi I'm trying to resize my C Drive, currently 150Gb, to 250Gb and reduce the D Drive (part of the same disc), currently 350Gb to 250Gb but the 3 brands of partitioning software I've used to try to do this have all said the 150Gb is the max. At first I thought the issue was with the...

Just seen your reply, thanks Martin.

My HDDs are all WD 4Tb (I wouldn't dare go higher, too much to lose). Some folk collect movies and photos, I collect bootleg audio recordings of all my favourite 70s bands 😁. I hadn't actually considered powering my powered external HDDs from a powered external hub, thanks. I have 2 already...

Yes in theory but even the powered hub I have can't run a HDD, else it would have been my first port (ouch) of call.

OK thanks. I don't see any free Molex connectors. I guess I'll just have to buy a couple of external hard drive caddies for those drives and plug them into the new USB ports.

Yes, there are additional fans - all specs listed previously, as requested.

No. They're all assigned to a HDD. Edit well 3 of them were until I had to assign the SATA cable to the USB card so yes they're free now I suppose.

Sorry, "power ports"? You mean the blue external sockets?

As detailed in my question Existing: 5 HDDs 1 DVD burner Now 1 4 port USB card with one more possibly Total = 8

OK here's the bottom line. Perfect response thank you. I was about to say I have had to disconnect the cable to 3 of the HDDs, which is a huge PITA. Are there cables available with more than 3 SATA connectors?
