Windows 10: Disc management Win 10

Extend volume

Have main partition "C" primary, etc., then Recovery Partition, then New Volume. It says can only extend in adjacent formatted volumes. Both Primary "C" and new formatted volume show NTFS but Recovery Partition shows blank.


Can I extend "C" primary to include Recovery? If so, can I then get to new volume?

Win 10 doesn't recognize second Win XP ntfs formatted old data disc (not boot disc)

Hi,

sorry but I think that your suggestion doesn't have sense.

1) When SSD SanDisk Ultra II 240GB (Win 10 boot disc) is connected as the only
disc drive, everything works OK.

2) When HDD WD Caviar 320 GB is connected as the second drive (data disc) running under Win XP (first drive is Win XP boot disc), it works OK.

3) When HDD WD Caviar is connected as the second drive (completly erased unformatted disc) in combination with the SSD
SanDisk as the primary Win 10 boot disc, the Win 10 boot up crashes.

I really have no more intention to waste time diagnosing bugs of the operating system Windows 10, which by the way I paid dearly.

When you remove the obvious Win 10 bug, please let me know so I can connect the second drive.

Thank you for your help.
