Good evening! My C drive is completely full, so I decided to add some hard drive memory from drive D.
I tried to perform the operation using the built-in "disk management" assistant on windows 8.1, but the "expand volume" function was not active on drive C, although there was free space , because the D drive is compressed.
I tried to perform the operation using Acronis Disk Director 12, after a reboot, part of the memory on drive D was gone, but drive C was gone. It's like that part of the memory just disappeared.
Can you tell me how to expand the C drive?
For example, I have 0 on "C", 50 on "D".
After Acronis, "C" remained 0, and "D" decreased to 25. Where did 25 GB go?

Acronis is very simple.
Have you tried to google ready-made answers and even tried videos?

If necessary, make a copy of the D drive data to another physical medium. Delete drive D, expand drive C, create drive D from leftovers.

And what does the disk management manager or the acronis itself show us, maybe it's worth re-running the resize

My C drive is full

Maybe that's the whole point? Then you don’t have to be smart with the sizes of the disk partitions, but simply transfer to D (probably empty, right?) the folders "My Documents", "Temporary Internet Files" and Temp, as well as the paging file, and clear the Desktop (ie. e. transfer everything stored on it to "My Documents").
All of the above is a standard operand mode for any ENI who has found a " completely full C drive " on the user's computer.

If using standard tools (disk management), for example, C-0Gb, D-50 Gb.
1. Shrink volume D by 25 Gb
2. Create a simple volume from the freed space after disk D (for example, let's call it E)
3. If you have the necessary information on disk D, TRANSFER (this is faster than copying) all information from disk D to disk E.
4. Delete drive D
5. Expand drive C by 25 Gb free space after it.
6. If necessary, rename drive E to drive D
Profit.
