  1. Can you DISABLE a hard disk Partition/Volume in windows 10??


    I want to perform memtest on my ram and it requires a USB flash drive to write memtest86-usb.img file which can cause possible loss of capacity in it but i don't have a flash drive in handy at the moment. However, i do have a external 1tb (GCan you DISABLE a hard disk Partition/Volume in windows 10?? :) HDD(931gb | 682gb Occupied with crucial data), so what i did is, i made a 16gb (drive letter TCan you DISABLE a hard disk Partition/Volume in windows 10?? :) NTFS partition as an substitution of a flash drive out of the ext HDD -- But now the problem is that there is no option to select a drive partition/volume individualy[as shown in following Screenshot(s)].


    Besides, i have also tried Hiding the partition drive G: by removing its assigned drive letter. It didn't helped.

    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

  3. how to add a portion of disk into another hard disk partition in windows 10?

    Hi Hamiul,

    I realize the inconvenience you are facing. Let me help you in resolving the issue.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if that helps.

    • 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.

    Hope the information helps. Please let us know if the issue persist and we will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you.

    Hard disk partition not showing up.

    Hi Muhammad,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    This can happen if the Hard-disk drivers are not up-to date. I would suggest you to update the hard disk drivers first. To update the drivers, please follow the steps mentioned below:

    1. Open Device manager.
    2. Then Expand “Disk drives”.
    3. Then Right click on the Hard-disk listed under this category.
    4. Then click on Update drivers.
    5. Alternatively you can also try to update the drivers from manufacturer’s website.

    Once the hard-disk drivers are updated, you will need to allocate the last partition (it is not allocated according to the screenshot) and you will be able to view the partition.



    Also note that sometimes the hard disk partitions/drives might be hidden in This PC or My Computer window due to a Registry key. If a DWORD with the name NoViewOnDrive or NoDrives is present under following key in Registry Editor:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer

    Delete the DWORD and your drives will become visible in My Computer window.



    Hope this helps.
