Windows 10: Creating new partition

I have an Asus ZenBook 14 Laptop. When I went to disk management I don't see any unallocated disk space but when I checked properties of the C: drive only one I have it shows I have 830 GB free. When I try to make a new partition there are only 50 GB available for it. Any ideas?NB I bought the laptop with windows 11 pre installed on it.

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

hey,

To create a partition from unpartitioned space follow these steps:

• Right click This PC and select Manage
• Open Disk Management
• Select the disk from which you want to make a partition.
• Right click the Un-partitioned space in the bottom pane and select new Simple volume.
• Enter the size and click next and you are done.

Hope this helps.

 

CANNOT CREATE NEW PARTITION FROM C DRIVE

Your problem is that you already have 4 primary partitions. This is the maximum allowed under the MBR scheme. On the other hand you also have 2 Recovery partitions. Why?

I would do this to be on the safe side:

1. Use the free version of Macrium Reflect to create an image of your disk. Park it on an external disk.
2. Create a bootable Macrium rescue flash disk.
3. Delete the Recovery partition on the far right of your Disk Manager display.
4. Press Shift+Restart to check if you can still boot into Windows Repair Mode.
5. Create a new partition for your dual boot scheme.

In case something goes wrong, restore the image created in Step 1.
