  1. Strange small unallocated partition in Windows 10


    Ok, so for my hard drive... it's been a wild ride...

    I first started partitioning my 2TB SATA Hard Drive for Hackintosh with multiple formats, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and a few disk checks...

    Recently I just deleted the other partitions and combined them into my Windows 10 Creators Update. Now I spotted a small unallocated space I want to get rid of. Not the system reserved that Windows creates, but a small unallocated space that bugs the hell outta me. If you kind folks here at Ten Forums could help me that would be appreciated. Thank you. Here are my specs. I also attached a screenshot.

    [Dell Optiplex 780
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 610
    Hitachi 2TB SATA Hard Drive with 7200RPM]

    :)

    SSD partition after cloning disc

    The problem is there is a small partition between C:Windows and the Unallocated Space

    Do you have a backup of your Data?

    If so, the process is as follows:

    Right click the small partition between C:Windows and Unallocated Space and choose 'Move Partition'

    In the resulting dialog, click and drag that partition all the way to the right

    Note in AOMEI, sometimes, you have to click the 'Apply' button at the top left for the change to take effect

    Let me know when that is done . . .

    Windows 10 installation, cannot update the reserved partition

    Franklyn, That sounds strange as EaseUS allowed me to do just that. Reducing/Resizing the C/Win partition and then increasing the unallocated space. Then resizing the Reserved partition from 100meg to 350 by using the added space one creates in the prior
    step specifying 260meg for unallocated space, then resizing finally the reserved partition and reducing unallocated space to 0, leaving two perfectly sized partitions.. Yous situation sounds strange. I kept the EaseUS application windows open next to the step
    by step instructions linked here, It was a little confusing trying to slide the size bar at first but soon saw how it worked and made it easier to do the same on my second machine. Maybe try again with the tool.

    Strange small unallocated partition in Windows 10

    You always get that. It is usually not even seen. It is simply the last bit of space that does not align properly with zone segment/boundaries as disks are not exact fit in total. Just ignore it.

    It could also be a spare space for moving eventual bad sectors and also shouldn't show up.
