    partition on HDD is showing unallocated


    Hello all,


    I recently upgraded my main HD to a SSD. After i was sure i could boot off my new drive i reformatted my old C: drive. It was previously partitioned, and wanted just one drive for extra storage, so i removed it and was going to try and combine them. After i removed it i can no longer get it to come back or extend to the main part of the drive. When i check the Disk Management i can see the drive partition of 600G. If i try to extend my volume on the main drive or create a new simple volume on the now unallocated drive i get an error saying there is not enough storage on the drive 600G free. I would like to just have one drive but at this point even if i can just restore the drive id would except that as i've lost quite a bit of extra storage.

    Has anyone seen this before or know a way around this? I've been poking around this for too long and am curious if someone might know how to fix this?

    :)

  3. HDD partitioned to unallocated space after performing scan & fix on Windows 10.

    Hello Kyle,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We regret the inconvenience caused and will assist you in resolving the issue.

    Before assisting further on the query, I would like to ask you few questions:

    • Are you able to view the hard disk in File explorer option on the PC?
    • With the hard disk connected to the PC, are you able to recognize the device under Disk management?

    You might be facing the above issue due to the unallocated letter for the drive. Unallocated drives are those whose drive letters are not allocated when initially partitioned or after formatting. You will be able to view the drive on your PC if you have
    allocated a drive name for the partition created. The drive will not be visible on the PC if you do not allocate a drive letter or a drive name.

    Method 1: Check if the drive is shown in File Explorer. If the drive is not shown in the
    File Explorer, allocate a drive letter to the HDD by following the steps below and check if the issue is resolved.

    • Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
      Disk management
      option from the context menu. Check if the drive is visible in the window.
    • If visible, right click on the Unallocated disk drive and select
      New Simple Volume option. Follow the onscreen instructions where in the process you will get to a window where you can allocate a drive name for the HDD.
    • After allocating a drive letter, right click on the drive and select
      Open
      . Check if you are able to open the drive in File Explorer.
    • Close the window and check if you are able to install Windows 10.

    Method 2: As easeus partition wizard is not a Microsoft product, I suggest you to contact the manufacturer support for further assistance on the query if the issue persists.

    Write to us with the status of the issue on the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

    Thank you.
