    2TB HDD - Need to Reorganize Partitions


    Hello,I recently installed a new 2TB HDD and I had trouble defining the Partitions. For some reason Win10 set up the Partitions for me. I ended up with aa C:\ and D:\ with both having capacities of ~950GB. I want to eliminate D: and use that space in C:. I moved some files from D to C and was able to Shrink the D volumn but instead of the empty space being moved to C, it moved it into the Unallocated space. I ended up with a new Unallocated area,. Now, C:\ has very limited unused Space making it difficult to move any files there. Is it possible to Shrink D:\ and move the space to C: o

    :)

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

    Lost Partitions on HDD with HDD regenerator

    Hey! thanks for the response!, i tried running Sea Tools and i have interesting results,

    SMART Test - PASS

    But the most interesting part is that, i have a "mount" program in Sea tools, so when i mount sda2, sda3,sda4
    then when i go to /mnt/sda2, /mnt/sda3 and /mnt/sda4, i can see all of my data there!! all the files, all the folders, just as they were..

    I can even read the contents of text files (using cat command).. so it seems my data + paritions are there but then why am i facing this terrible issue ? *Sad(

    so what should be my next step :/ i don't wanna mess this up
