  1. Storage


    My problem is my 500gb sad drive has c partition of course where the OS is got installed in far right or back of the drive in a 47gb partition the largest 430gb to left is where the C\ OS should be. I got myself in is situation because I had the meanest Trojan malware I have ever uncounted. I ran many sans. Now of course the c\ partition can only be srunk. Is there a kind soul out there that would like to help this 77 year old man. The c/ and larger partitions are basic.

    :)

    Hi George,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.


    • Did you make any changes in BIOS?

    • Select Device manager.

    • Expand Storage controller.

    Steps 2: Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue
    is with device. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.

    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
