Can not Merge Partitions
This article applies to: all versions of Qiling Disk Master.
Introduction:
Sometimes, you want to merge two partitions, but you find "merge partition" option is grayed or the partition you want to select is grayed.
Generally, there are following situations which lead to the problem:
Case 1: Two partitions that you want to merge located on two different disks.
Case 2: The partition is a system partition:
Case 3: The partition doesn't have enough free space (less than 30GB):
Case 4: These two partitions are adjacented (E and F):
Solutions:
If it is case 1, sorry for that you can't merge two partitions located on two different disks. Maybe you can create a big partition on the third disk, and then copy the data to the big partition as replacement
If it is case 2, our software doesn't support merge System reserved partition because of this partition contains files used for booting system.
If it is case 3, the host partition must have at least 1GB free space. You can delete some useless files to release more free space for the partition. Or, you could first shrink the second partition from the front to get an unallocated space. Then you could use "resize partition" to add the unallocated space to the host partition.
If it is case 4, Qiling Disk Master doesn't support merging non-adjacent partitions. If there is enough free space in the host partition to save data from the second partition, you can copy data from the second partition to the host partition manually and then delete the partition to make it be the unallocated space. After that you can merge the host partition and the unallocated space.
If there is still any problem, please feel free to contact our Qiling support team.
