Windows 10: Why can't I extent the volume of c drive partition

Why can't I extent the volume of c drive partition even though i have unallocated space

:)

 

Partitioning of C Drive

I have 210 GB free space with a C drive of 251 GB. I have been trying to create a separate partition of 100 GB and 151 GB will be left on C drive. I find that shrink volume is only 1.50 GB. Pease help me if it is possible to partition and what steps do I need to follow. Thanks.

Hello,

Thank you for posting your reply. Apologize for the delay in response.

Kindly try the steps below and check if this helps.

Open run command with Admin prompt, Right click on
Start and select Command prompt (Admin).

Step 1:

• Type diskpart and hit enter.
• Type "list volume" and hit enter to list all the volumes.
• Now select the volume which you want to delete from the list by typing
  "select volume 5" (give volume number which you want to delete).
• Now delete the volume by typing "delete partition override"

Note:

It is not recommended to delete Recovery partition. It contains all the recovery files to recover our system if it got corrupted.

Step 2:

• Open disk management by typing diskmgmt.msc in run command.
• Right click on C: drive and select Extend Volume to add space to C: drive.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Hi Prasad,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are trying to extend the Volume of Drives and create partitions from C: drive.

I would suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps you.

• Press Windows + R keys, type diskmgmt.msc hit
  enter.
• Disk management will open. Right click on the C: drive
  below in the segments of the partitions.
• Select Shrink Volume. Select the Amount of space
  you want to extend in MBs (1GB = 1024MB).
• Follow the instruction and check if it creates a Unallocated Drive.

Later after the Unallocated drive is created follow the below steps to crate a partition.

• Right click on the Unallocated drive and select
  New Simple Volume.
• Select the Drive letter and follow the instructions and check if it
  creates a partition.
• Follow the same to Create partition.

Note: C: drive must be not less than 100GB if you are using a 1TB hard drive. partitions must not be more than 3 drives to have a better functioning of the system.

Keep us posted to help you better.
