how to partition hard drive
4 Answers
I'm trying to partition my hard drive and create a space for my photos and music. Microsofts help and support pages have left me stuck. It says to open computer management..then disk management.. This brings up 2 panes. The top shows Vol C with it's capacity and free space etc...and the bottom shows a "striped " window showing Disk 0 and in the striped area Vol C with size etc...Problem is The write up then tells me to right click an unallocated region of basic disk and select new partition etc..but I have right clicked everywhere in these two panes and don't get the option of create a new partition. What am i doing wrong. thank you in advanced
