I did try discpart but the volume would no go in the cmd line. I later read that if the part i want to extend onto is not formated then an extension cannot be made.
That creates a new problam as i can' format it either

You cannot format it until you make it a partition.....I think what you are wanting to do is reclaim the space....and the best way would be to wipe the entire drive and repartition and format...but it sounds like your OS and programs reside on that first partition.
