  1. Missing unallocated space after volume shrink


    I went to the disk management tool to shrink my SSD on which my Win10 is installed. I typed in something like 70GB and pressed shrink, after that instead of the unallocated space to appear so I can create a new partition, it just disappeared.I tried "TestDisk", "SFC" and "diskpart". Is there some tool or a cmd command I can use to get back my lost space?

    :)

    Cannot create a new simple volume from unallocated space

    I want to create a new volume. So I've shrink a volume. Then I got unallocated space. When I try to create a new simple volume I'm getting this type of error.

    Unallocated Space on my SSD

    You shouldn't have to, I've done this before without even rebooting the machine I was doing it on. However, the unallocated space has to be right next to the volume you want to expand, and it has to be marked as unallocated not just "free space".

    Do you have more than one volume on the SSD, or is it just the C Drive?

    Missing unallocated space after volume shrink

    How to Partition a Win10 Hard Drive when the Disk Management Screen shows no Unallocated Volume?

    the unallocated space will be created when you shrink an existing volume,

    in disk management, in the lower part of the window right click on "windows (cMissing unallocated space after volume shrink :)" and select shrink volume. (c: is the only volume with enough space to shrink)

    it will take a few seconds to figure out available shrink space

    enter the number of MB you want to shrink it by (windows disk management will not shrink a volume beyond any unmovable files)

    when the shrink is complete you will then see unallocated space
