Solved: Trying to move unallocated space to the system C:\ drive
I have a computer running xp home. In disk management it shows C: partition Basic NTFS healthy(system) 127.99GB. It also shows 104.89 gb unallocated, which isn't named. I want to expand the C: partition to include the unallocated space. I have downloaded Easeus Partition Master Home Edition. When I try open it to move the unallocated space everything is grayed out except properties. If I click on the C partition nothing is grayed out. I was following the instructions on their website which says to delete the one partion but but it doesnt give me that option when the unallocated space is highlighted. Any help out there??

I see you've marked this as SOLVED; do you still need help, or did you actually solve this already?

The unallocated space is what you get when you delete a partition, so that part is already done.
The unallocated space has to be right next to the partition you want to add it to.
Assuming the unallocated space is just to the right of the C: partition, just click the C: partition, then point to the right edge of the partition.
When the mouse point changes to something similar to this , click and drag the right edge of the C: partition to the right, extending it into the unallocated space.
