so, second attempt, kicked out despite registration .. Please Notice: This is an automatically translated article!
I want to divide my 1,5 TB rioesen disk into a boot partition and a file partition. When I reduced C I got a so-called unassigned area, and I cannot influence it with anything.
I just want to get a drive letter for the new area when reducing the size, but that doesn't work. there is nothing that cih can do, also in the technet.microsoft.com page I found under "problem handling with disk management not about" not zordered ".
who can help?
greetings fietje

Hallo,
try this: MiniTool Partition Wizard, download from heise create a logical partition from the unallocated area.Greetings hyrican

I've already tried, it doesn't work. to die you cannot access this area. and the virtual drive didn't work either: no space on the disk

How big is the unallocated area?
Can you then enlarge C: back to its original size?Greetings hyrican

Hello fietje,
could you give us some basic information about your system?
Then: If I got it right, does your system still work? If it is important to maintain this installation, get something like the Paragon Hard Drive Manager, make a mirror of the system. Then you can restore this backup.
Then flatten the disk and restore the backup. Should go relatively quickly and that should solve the problem.

hyrican: about half of the 1-500 gb, about 700 gb. the partition wizard also couldn't, I then enlarged c again and, thank you very much, everything was as it was before
klaus1960: brand new akoya rake from MM, 1,5 tb disk, windows 7. practically only the operating system is on it. Nevertheless, it divides the partition into 2 halves, then I only have c m7 much too large 700 gb and the recover drive d.
It's really easy to flatten it: I backed up the contents of the computer before starting it for the first time, so I can restore it to a virgin delivery state at any time using the program in the dvd drive and the backup on an external HD. -
Hallo,
so the system is back in its original state.
Now just try the following: Reduce c to, say, 400gb. How do you proceed then?

Where I read Akoya something rings for me.
Please check again exactly how many partitions you have with the Partition Wizard or Disk Management. Aren't there 2 smaller partitions hiding somewhere? I also have an Akoya on my wife's computer. The guys have created 4 primary partitions, creating another partition is not possible. The only thing that helps is formatting the whole disk (i.e. deleting all partitions) and when creating a new one, make sure that you create a primary partition (which must then also be active) and an extended partition. Any number of logical partitions can then be created in this extended partition. The whole thing only works under Windows, for that I have Partition Magic from Symantec on CD. With the WinXP CD you can also delete and create partitions, but I don't know if the Win7 CD works.Greetings hyrican

I also had the problem mentioned by Hyrican on my Akyoa notebook and circumvented it with the partition wizard in DOS mode without reinstalling as follows:
[FONT="]On my notebook - as described by Hyrican - there were already 4 primary partitions (2 of them hidden). There is usually a recovery version on one of these partitions.
[/ FONT][FONT = "] Starting position (example): [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] Partition 1 NTFS 100 MB Active Primary [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] Partition 2 NTFS 440 GB None Primary (system drive C) [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] Partition 3 NTFS 30 GB None Primary (Recovery) [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] Partition 4 NTFS 1 GB None Primary [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] In the above example, partitions 1 and 4 contain start information, partition 3 the recovery and Windows is usually installed in partition C. If you want to reinstall Windows anyway, delete C with Partition Wizard and create one or more from it Logical partitions. However, if you want to keep the preinstalled operating system, you often only have the recovery partition. If you delete this, you usually lose the possibility of being able to reset the PC safely. The following tip for creating an additional partition can do this but: [/ FONT]
- · Copy [FONT="] data from the recovery partition, for example to an external drive or partition C[/FONT]
- · [FONT="]Delete recovery partition 3 in Partition Wizard and remember the drive letter[/FONT]
- · [FONT="]Shrink drive C by using the context menu in the highlighted drive Move / Resize selects [/ FONT]
- · [FONT="]Here you specify the space by which partition C should be reduced (e.g. 340 GB of free space)[/FONT]
- · [FONT="]Together with the deleted partition 3 you now have 370 GB of free space[/FONT]
- · [FONT="]Click on the released disk space and select: Create. [/FONT]
- · [FONT="]In the function, a large partition is first created using the slider (e.g. 340 GB)[/FONT]
- · [FONT="]The selected new partition will be formatted. With OK the logical drive will be created and displayed[/FONT]
- · [FONT="]This must be repeated one or more times. The last drive should correspond to the size of the deleted recovery partition[/FONT]
- · [FONT="]The job is started with Apply. [/FONT]
- · [FONT="]Then the logical drive that is to be used as the recovery version must now be assigned the previous drive letter. If necessary, this can also be done in the disk management.[/FONT]
- · [FONT="] The contents of the recovery partition must then be copied to this logical drive.[/FONT]
[FONT = "] result [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] Partition 1 NTFS 100 MB Active Primary [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] Partition 2 NTFS 100 GB None Primary (system drive C) [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] Partition 3 NTFS 30 GB None logical (recovery) [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] Partition 4 NTFS 340 GB None logical (newly created partition) [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] Partition 5 NTFS 1 GB None Primary [/ FONT]
[FONT = "] Of course you can divide the free disk space into further partitions.Admittedly - a bit laborious. The recovery partition is not deleted for this.
