    The size of Extent is less than minimum


    I installed my old 1 TB ssd from old Laptop to my new PC see disk 2 from attached image. Now SSD already had a System installed, so i deleted both volume, and tried to combine them in Disk Managment window. I dont know how but i could not able to make a single volume from this SSD. Getting this error as The size of Extent is less than minimum. I dont understand what is dynamic or simple. Attaching some screenshots from CMD window for reference. Thankks for helping out!

    :)

    The size of Extent is less than minimum.

    The following error came, when I entered the command - "create partition primary size=X" --

    No usable free extent could be found. It may be that there is insufficient

    free space to create a partition at the specified size and offset. Specify

    different size and offset values or don't specify either to create the

    maximum sized partition. It may be that the disk is partitioned using the MBR disk

    partitioning format and the disk contains either 4 primary partitions, (no

    more partitions may be created), or 3 primary partitions and one extended

    partition, (only logical drives may be created).

    The size of Extent is less than minimum.

    I'm sorry to hear that.

    Search CMD in the taskbar search and right click Command Prompt and run as an administrator.

    Type “diskpart” and press Enter.

    Type “list disk” and press Enter.

    Type “select disk X” (where X is the number of the disk you want to create the partition on) and press Enter.

    Type “create partition primary size=X” (where X is the size of the partition you want to create) and press Enter.

    Type “format fs=ntfs quick” and press Enter.

    Keep me posted. Thank you.
