  1. Windows 10 Disk Management


    Hi,


    I have a low space condition on Windows 10 drive C:

    I migrated drive C: from the original disk to a SSD drive so I am not sure if these were the original partitions, sizes, etc. or not.


    This drive has 4 partitions which are:

    1. 200MB Healthy (EFI System Partition) 100% free space

    2. OS: (CWindows 10 Disk Management :) 905.24 GB NTFS Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition) 2% free space

    3. 971 MB NTFS Healthy (OEM Partition) 41% free space

    4. Recovery 25.01 GB NTFS Healthy (Primary Partition) 65% free space.


    Can any of these partitions be deleted or resized to make more operating room on drive C: ?


    Are there any other viable options for more space? I have a SSD for Drive D: and have previously moved all documents, pictures, etc. over to Drive D: which is 70% free, but still have almost a full drive C:

    Thanks,


    Roger

    :)

  2. Disk management console view is not up-to-date

    i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




    open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


    enter in
    DISKPART
    list disk

    then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
    type in

    Select Disk 7
    List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
    Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
    ASSIGN


    that should get the array up and running ready to use.


    EDITED.

    any problems, post back ^^


    Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue Windows 10 Disk Management :p

    side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

  3. Disk Management

    Hi Keith,

    Thanks for providing the detail that was requested previously. Since the disk management screen that you saw is showing greyed out options, we suggest that you follow the steps below to change the partition type of your internal drive:

    • Open Disk Management then right click the partition on the disk you want to covert and select Delete Volume.
    • Once you complete the process you will see the whole disk shown as two separate unallocated spaces. Right-click the disk and select Convert to GPT disk.

    After the conversion, you will be able to use the whole disk and then you can create new separate partitions.

    We look forward to your response to our queries.
