Windows 10: Disk Partition EFI Management

DISK PARTITION INCLUDING EFI SYSTEM PARTITION AND RECOVERY DRIVE PARTITION.


Earlier my File Explorer used to display C drive and D drive Recovery Drive which majorly contains only the recovery file. However, after a windows update a long time back, the D drive stopped displaying in the file explorer "THIS PC"







I checked the Disk Management tool. There are two unallocated space of 651 and 128 mb along with a EFI partition and two recovery partition one with drive letter D assigned and another without.

My hard disk is of 1TB out of which 904gb C drive is accessible.






I am not able to manage these unalloacted partitions of my drive. I am only able to create a new volume but I want this unallocated space to either merge into C drive OR D drive the option for which Extend/Merge is not available.









Also there is an EFI system partition which is in between these two unallocated spaces and I am unable to manage that space as well.

The recovery partition of D drive is not visible in file explorer.
I want a way to manage these spaces and also that my D drive is shown in the file explorer

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 ^^


Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

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
