Windows 10: Windows disk management tool

Hey guys, I got a new laptop with an Nvme SSD as a boot drive and a spare SATA port for a 2.5" drive, so I put the hard drive of my previous laptop in it and got all of my data out of it so I can format it and make it one partition instead of the 2+ it had since it was a boot drive. I deleted the 2 main partitions so they became none allocated but now when I try to make any of them a new simple partition, it says there's not enough space on the disk while there's literally nothing on it. Can anyone help?

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 ^^

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

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.
