Windows 10: Not able to create new partition

Hi,


I have 150 GB of free space in one partition and when I am trying to create a new partition out of it in the disk management, it is not happening. The mouse cursor just shows that some processing is happening but I am not seeing a new Unallocated space in my disk management.


Windows 10 Version 1909.

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

creat a new volume/partition

Hi,

Creating a new partition in Windows 10.

To create a new partition, the hard disk drive must contain unallocated space that is not part of an existing partition. Shrink the volume on an existing drive to create unallocated space, then create and format a new partition, using the following steps.

• 
  In Windows, search for and open Create and format hard disk partitions.
  
• 
  Right-click the Windows (C drive, or another drive on the computer.
  
  
• 
  Click Shrink Volume... from the drop-down menu to create unallocated space.
  
  Figure : Shrink volume
  
  
  
  The Shrink window opens.
  
• 
  Without making any changes to the settings in the Shrink window, click
  Shrink.
  
  Figure : Shrink volume C:
  
  
  
  When the shrink process is complete, the new partition displays in the Disk Management utility as Unallocated space.
  
  Figure : Unallocated space
  
  
  
  
• 
  Right-click the new partition, then select New Simple Volume... from the drop-down menu.
  
  Figure : Creating a new simple volume
  
  
  
  The New Simple Volume Wizard displays.
  
• 
  Click Next.
  The Specify Volume Size window displays.
  
• 
  Click Next to accept the default setting (recommended), or change the value in the Simple volume size in MB field, and then click
  Next.

  The Assign Drive Letter or Path window displays.
  
• 
  Select a drive letter from the drop-down menu, then click Next.
  
  Figure : Assign Drive Letter or Path
  
  
  
  The Format Partition window displays.
  
• 
  To name the drive, type a name in the Volume label field.
  
  
• 
  Click Next.
  
  Figure : New Simple Volume Wizard
  
  
  
  The Completing the New Simple Volume Wizard window displays.
  
• 
  Click Finish.
  
  Figure : Settings in Completing the New Simple Volume Wizard
  
  
  
  
  
  The Disk Management utility shows the formatting progress, and then displays the New Volume.

Hope this helps. Thank you.
