BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Disk Management is a utility built into different operating systems which can be used to
create, delete, format partitions, assign drive letters, and much more. Disk Management can also
be used to view partitions and their formatted file systems on the hard drive. The most common
way to access Disk Management is via Computer Management.

Disk Management
Disk Management is a Microsoft Windows utility first introduced in Windows XP as a replacement
for the disk 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.

The Disk Management command is the same in all versions of Windows, so these instructions
apply to Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. Follow these easy steps to
start Disk Management from the Command Prompt in Windows:

● In Windows 7 and Windows Vista, click on the Start button.

● In Windows XP and earlier, click on Start and then Run.
● Type the following command in the text box: diskmgmt.msc and then hit the Enter key or
press the OK button, depending on where you ran the command from.
To partition a hard drive in Windows 7 means to divide the hard drive into parts and make those
parts available to the operating system. It's also possible for an entire hard drive to have a single
partition.

In Disk Management’s Graphical view, right-click an unallocated or free area, and then click New
Simple Volume. This starts the New Simple Volume Wizard.

Read the Welcome page and then click Next.
The Specify Volume Size page specifies the minimum and maximum size for the volume in
megabytes and lets you size the volume within these limits. Size the partition in megabytes using
the Simple Volume Size field and then click Next.

On the Assign Drive Letter or Path page, specify whether you want to assign a drive letter or path
and then click Next. The available options are as follows:

Use the Format Partition page to determine whether and how the volume should be formatted. If
you want to format the volume, choose Format This Volume with the Following Settings, and
then configure the following options:
Click Next, confirm your options, and then click Finish.

The Windows 7 Disk Management tool will now show the space configured as a new partition.

Here’s an easy way to shrink a volume to free up space so you can create a new partition on
your disk. To shrink a basic volume, follow these steps:

In Disk Management, right-click the volume that you want to shrink, and then click Shrink
Volume.

In the field provided in the Shrink dialog box, enter the amount of space by which to
shrink the disk. Click Shrink.
When you shrink a partition, any ordinary files are automatically relocated on the disk to
create the new unallocated space. There is no need to reformat the disk to shrink the
partition

ACTIVITIES

Directions: Using your smartphone or webcam, record a short video discussing the
use of disk management? Keep your video short with a maximum of 2-3 minutes. Send your video
on google classroom.

 REMEMBER

Use Disk management to check free hard drive space. Look under the Capacity and Free
space columns (in the Disk List or Volume List view) to see the total storage capacity of all the
disks as well as how much free space is remaining, which is expressed in units as well as a
percentage.
