Not able to merge two disk partition

[chayan_wooo]

I shrink the drive C and D and made two unallocated partitions. Then create a new volume named "new" i.e. drive E.  Now I am not able to extend drive E to merge the unallocated partition.

First off, you can not MERGE partitions.  If you want to combine the space of two adjacent partitions, you have to go through a tedious process of shrinking one, enlarging the other, copying files from the smaller to the larger -- and continuing this until the smaller partition is empty.

The other issue is that both the partitions I see are encrypted with Bitlocker -- this means you can't do what you want to do with these because the disk management tools can not handle encrypted partitions.
