DISK
MANAGEMENT
 

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 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 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.
