Windows – “Extend volume” is not working in Windows Vista

logical-drivewindows-vista

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2. I have now 4 volumes "C:", "D:", "E:", "F:". Now I shrink 30 GB space from my "C:" drive. I want to extend any of the "D:" or "E:" drive with the free space. But when I am right clicking on any of these volumes, "Extend volume" option is disabled. How can I extend this volume?

You can't extend backwards on the drive, only forwards. That space will only be available to your C: drive.
