Windows 10: Disk manager, 512mb instead of 512gb

Hello,


I need help. I bought new laptop and downloaded windows from a windows site to install them on my new pc. I have a product key. The laptop I bought has 512GB SSD and I thought that I did the installation perfectly. But after 3 weeks of use I wanted to save some files on my local disk D: and it said that there's no space. So i looked better and saw that it says that my local disk D: only has 512MB!


I'm not sure if I did something wrong while installing the computer or is it some update or what. Is there any way to fix this?


When I go to the disk manager, I have this written:

volume:

C: 232gb
D: 511mb
Disk 0 partition 2 4.88gb
Disk 0 partition 3 510mb
Disk 0 partition 4 100mb
Disk 0 partition 7 499mb


But I don't know where are those partitions and what are those.

Can someone please help me? What am I supposed to do to get the maximum capacity?


Thanks

:)

 

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

Disk Management

Hi Keith,

Thanks for providing the detail that was requested previously. Since the disk management screen that you saw is showing greyed out options, we suggest that you follow the steps below to change the partition type of your internal drive:

• Open Disk Management then right click the partition on the disk you want to covert and select Delete Volume.
• Once you complete the process you will see the whole disk shown as two separate unallocated spaces. Right-click the disk and select Convert to GPT disk.

After the conversion, you will be able to use the whole disk and then you can create new separate partitions.

We look forward to your response to our queries.
