  1. Error appears when extending the volume in external hard disk


    Hi,

    I'm using my old laptop hard disk as external portable harddisk.

    I'm trying to extend volume of 2 partitions 1 is around 99GB, 2 is 59GB which already have a pre allocated space in it.

    When I try to extend any of these voulmes, I see some prompt saying this operation will convert the selected basic disks to dynamic disks...... and I selected yes.

    After selecting YES, I see an error saying "The operation is not supported by the object" and I cant do any other process.


    Please help me on this

    :)

  2. Extend Volume in disk managment not working

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Let me help you.




    • Since when did the issue started appearing?

    • Have you made any changes in settings prior to the issue?

    • Do you receive any error code or error message on the screen?


    I suggest you to follow the exact steps mentioned below and check if you are able to perform the action.


    • Run Disk Management. Open Run Command (Windows button +R) a dialog box will open and type "diskmgmt.msc".

    • In the Disk Management screen, just right-click on the partition that you want to shrink, and select “Extend Volume” from the menu

    • Locate your system partition — that’s probably the C: partition. Right-click on it and select “Shrink Volume.” If you have multiple partitions on your hard drive, you could also choose to resize a different partition to free up
      space.
    Check if it helps.



    Please reply with the details and updated status of the issue. We will be happy to assist you further.
