Thanks, I have used that article before, but the thing was, that I did not delete the second partition, so even if there was free space left at the end of a disk it could not be used. After deleting the partition before it worked fine.

Hi,
As this thread quiet for a while, I wonder if you have solved your problem. Assuming you have fixed, in case of who have the same problem. I think there are better solutions with step by step tutorial. I hope they will be helpful.
Solution1: Disk Management
The Disk Management in Windows 2008 can only extend volume into contiguous unallocated space. You can not extend partition unless deleting the next partition.

Solution2: Reliable Partition Software
As Disk Management alternative, some
Partition Manager Server software is another good choice.

There is resize function in Windows 2008 Disk Management snap-in. If there is unallocated space behind C: drive, you can right-click C: drive and select Extend Volume. The Extend Volume feature is available with contiguous unallocated space.
Another way: turn to third party software, there are
Partition Magic Windows 2008, with its easy-to-use layout, just drag and drop to extend C: drive.
