Disk Management
Disk Management is a Microsoft Windows utility first introduced in Windows XP as
a replacement for the “fdisk” command. It enables users to view and manage the
disk drives installed in their computer and the partitions associated with those
drives. As the image below shows, each drive is displayed followed by the layout,
type, file system, status, capacity, free space, % free, and fault tolerance. It's used
to manage the drives installed in a computer—like hard disk drives (internal and
external), optical disk drives, and flash drives. It can be used to partition and
format drives, assign drive letters, and much more. Disk Management is an
extension of the Microsoft Management Console that allows full management of the
disk-based hardware recognized by Windows
How To Open Disk Management
 Click Start and access the Run option.
 You can also press Windows key+R on the keyboard to open the Run
option. Type “diskmgmt.msc” and press Enter.

Or
The most common way to access Disk Management is via the Computer
Management utility, which you can get to from Administrative Tools in the
Control Panel.

Note:
If you do not have admin rights to the
computer, this is not available.

How to Use Disk Management

Disk Management has two main sections—a top and a bottom:
 The top section contains a list of all the partitions, formatted or not, that
Windows recognizes.
 The bottom section contains a graphical representation of the physical
drives installed in the computer.

Performing certain actions on the drives or partitions make them available or

unavailable to Windows and configure them to be used by Windows in certain
ways.
Here are some common things that you can do in Disk Management:

Partition a drive Extend a partition

 Format a drive Delete a partition
Change a drive's letter Change a drive's file system
Shrink a partition

How To Partition A Hard Drive in Windows

You will need to open the Disk Management tool if you want to partition a hard
drive, format a hard drive, change a drive letter, or perform various other disk
related tasks.

What is Partitioning?
To partition a hard drive in Windows means to section off a part of it and make
that part available to the operating system.
In other words, a hard drive is not useful to your operating system until it's
partitioned. Additionally, it is not available to you to store files on until you
format it (which is another, just as simple process).
Most of the time, this "part" of the hard drive is the entire usable space, but
creating multiple partitions on a hard drive is also possible so that you can store
backup files in one partition, movies in another, etc.

Here is how to do it:

1. Open Disk Management, the
tool included in all versions of
Windows that lets you
partition drives, among
several other things.

2. When Disk Management opens,

you should see an Initialize
Disk window with the
message "You must initialize a
disk before Logical Disk
Manager can access it."

3. On this screen, you're asked to choose a partition style for the new
hard drive. Choose GPT if the new hard drive you installed is 2 TB or
larger. Choose MBR if it's smaller than 2 TB.

Choose OK after making your selection.

4. Locate the hard drive you want to partition from the drive map at the
bottom of the Disk Management window.

You might need to maximize the Disk Management or Computer

Management window to see all the
drives on the bottom. An
unpartitioned drive will not show up
in the drive list at the top of the
window.

5. Once you've found the space you want

to partition, tap-and-hold or right-
click anywhere on it, and choose New
Simple Volume. In Windows XP, the
option is called New Partition.

6. Choose Next > on the New Simple

Volume Wizard window that appeared.

7. Choose Next > on the Specify Volume

Size step to confirm the size of the
drive you are creating.

8. Select Next > on the Assign Drive

Letter or Path step, assuming the
default drive letter you see is OK with
you.
 9. Choose Do not format this volume on the Format Partition step, and
then select Next >.

10.Verify your choices on

the  Completing the New Simple
Volume Wizard  screen, which
should look something like this:

Volume Type: Simple Volume

 Disk selected: Disk 1
 Volume size: 61437 MB Drive letter or
path: F:
 File system: None
 Allocation unit size: Default

11.Choose Finish and Windows will partition the drive, a process that will
only take a few seconds on most computers.

12.Next, Windows will try to open the new drive automatically. However,
since it is not yet formatted and can't be used, you'll see this message
instead: "You need to format the disk in drive F: before you can use it. Do
you want to format it?

13.Select Cancel
