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

 

Partition mess

One way to do this:

Shrink C partition from the left by about 500 mb.

Creat msr partition on the left of the unallocated space of , say 128mb.

Then create efi system partition (esp) of, say 300mb.

Give the esp a drive letter e.g. Z

Then open an elevated command prompt and type

bcdboot C:\windows /s Z: /f UEFI

Suggest you use a 3rd party partition manager - such as Aomei Pro, or the free version of diskgenius.

 

HDD partition mess

Hi Zippy,

that is a bit all over the place.

first a question, do you have your important data (pics, docs etc.) backed up elsewhere?

assuming you wish to keep both drives, i would suggest, temporarily disconnecting disk 1 (the larger of the two)

clean install windows 10 on disk 0, deleting all partitions and allowing windows to create what it needs.

then connect disk 1 and tidy the partitions to your preference

set windows to put docs and, apps, etc to your preferred partition

then reinstall apps

then restore user data.

or

remove the small drive (temporarily) and check that windows still boots

is all your data etc available.

if so, we can put disk0 back and delete all partitions and create partitions as you like.

we could also adjust the partition sizes on drive 1

I can help you with each step or point you reliable resources
