  1. How do I find which partition is Drive C?


    I'm getting the BSOD and none of the advance options are working. I created a bootable drive and am reinstalling windows. There are 2 options: 1. Upgrade, but this option isn't working because I need to do it when I start windows normally. Which I can't do because I have BSOD and also safe mode isn't working. 2. Custom, which shows me the partitions of my drive. However there isn't enough storage on the system reserved partition. Even if I clear it, the size of partitions itself isn't big enough. I have 3 other partitions, 2 of them which have enough space. But if I install Windows on any of them, it says the files will be moved to a folder named "Windows.old" but I'm afraid this makes me lose my files. I don't have back up for my files, there's like 20 movies and folders of pictures.

    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

    How do I find which partition is Drive C?

    Unallocated Space to C Drive

    Hi Travis,

    It appears that a disk partition was created but was never assigned its allocation. Assuming there are no files stored in the unallocated partition, perform these steps to combine it with your C: drive:

    • In Disk Management, right-click on (CHow do I find which partition is Drive C? :) which appears next to the
      Unallocated partition.
    • Select Extend.

    Let us know if you're able to combine the spaces after following the steps above.

    Regards.
