Computer has a 250 GB drive.
Drive had two partitions: 1. Volume 2, Presario_RP, Drive Z, 5.27 GB
2. Volume 3, Local Disk, Drive C,
228 GB
Volume 2 had the Restore files, but, after creating CDs for restoring to the
original software, I didn't see any value in keeping the 5 GB for restoring
to the original complement of software, so I re-formatted Volume 2 from
FAT32 to NTFS, intending to extend Volume 3 to swallow up Volume 2.
In a Command Prompt window and following the Help directions for Control
Panel|Computer Management, I get:
"diskpart failed to extend the volume
please make sure the volume is valid for extending."
Solution to the failure does not jump out at me. Should I delete Volume 2,
thereby making it unallocated or are there any secret steps?
