actually you can do two simple steps to delete the unallocated space .
select the volume that you shrink right click and click extend the volume and will go to a new window that will show add a volume and remove volume and in the right you will see the unallocated space MG just add that unallocated space to your hard drive and will be back to normal .
----After MUCH frustration, digging, trial-and-error, I have answered my own question.The problem, as you may recall, was that I could not delete two "unallocated partitions on my hard drive.

unmount the drive (sys partition) (hdd) using a different computer. Then delete it.
You are supposed to have unallocated disk space if you want to create more partitions. So if you want to split one partition in two you have to delete the partition and then using the unallocated space create two new partitions. There are simpler ways to do that, for instance, using special software such as Partition Magic, Acronis disk editor and so on.
The fdisk command is used to create and modify partitions on a hard drive. Be very careful when using fdisk. You could lose data and corrupt your hard drive if you don't know what you're doing. At the command line type:$ man fdiskto get the manual page for the fdisk command.---- In Linux: After MUCH frustration, digging, trial-and-error, I have answered a related question.My problem was that I could not delete or resize two "unallocated partitions on my hard drive.

delete a partition on the system disk (C)
Delete all data on a hard drive. Ditto!
---- Partitions can be added, moved, and resized according to individual needs.

First you need to download a partition manager and then install it on your computer. You need to choose the ones that support you delete partition with XP. Do you think so?
One of the safest ways is to purchase a software program, e.g. Partition Magic, which can do this without destroying any of the data that may be on the partitions.Better wayThe safest way is to backup all your data. format HD and repartition with fdisk. Then install your programs and restore the data.Although there are many programs to partition HD without lose data, nobody will recommend use them without backup your data. And if you backup all your data why not format your HD and reinstall programs - that way all your programs will run faster. If you don't have the time to reinstall or the original programs discs, You still must backup all your critical data, and this exist in many places on your HD, not just in "My Documents" folder, like Outlook data. So be care and lot of luck.---- In Linux: After MUCH frustration, digging, trial-and-error, I have answered my own question.My problem, as you may recall, was that I could not delete or resize two "unallocated partitions on my hard drive.
