I didn't see anything new or different. It's pretty much the same as in Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista and so on. However, this is a nice tutorial video for beginners.
Been trying to partition a removable drive, and all the other way people have told me to do it have been very complex, this way was simplicity it's self, also the commentary was clear and precise, thank you.
Id like to mention just in case people panic or whatnot, depending on the size of the shrink it can take much longer than a second or two ;) Dont worry and just wait.
What would we need such partition ? If I have to reinstall Windows, would it keep the other partitions untouched ? Is it a good idea to install all programs on a separate partition, so as not to loose them if one day I need to do a fresh Win install ?
Thanks a lot for your help. Video was crisp and to the point, no unnecessary talking. I was able to follow all the procedures in a simple step by step manner...Hurry..!!
have got a problem.... I have shrunk one my drive but it cannot be allocated. The error says the selected gpt formatted disk contains a partition that is not of type partition basic data guid, and is both preceded and followed by the partition of type partition basic data guid. What does this mean and how to fix it
This was really well done. Thank you so much for this help! I just bought a 4 TB hard drive and it was my first time doing anything like this so I was really confused and worried since it didn't show anything. All sorted out now. Thanks again!
Hi. When I right click on the d drive I don't get any of the options shown in your video. All I get is a 'help' option (which, typically, leads to no help of any real use!). Any idea why I'm not getting the option to extend/shrink volume, or what I can do about it? Thanks, Steve
How do you access partitions that have already been created ? Or combine them into one?I just bought a computer and there's only 119 gb of available space, however i have close to 1 TB of space that is partition in the disk 0 spot.
Simple, Clear, absolutely understandable for someone like who is not a geek.Thank you so much for your tutorial. You are one of those people that makes our world better each day.
I have 300GB on my external hdd and I want to use it for READYBOOST but I am unable to use it for readyboost, do you think I need to partition my drive into smaller partitions to use them for readybost and do you no the max amount of GBs I can use for readyboost for each partition on that drive ?
A blog is appearing in my PC. It says, 'the selected GPT formatted disk contains a partition which is not of type (PARTITION_BASIC _DATA_GUID) and is both preceded and followed by a partition of type (PARTITION_BASIC _DATA_GUID). tell me what should i do? this message is not allowing me to allocate my newly partitioned space.
Prime Ninja I really hope you're trolling. If you're not, then it's 8192 MB, because 1 GB is NOT 1000 MB but rather 1024 MB. That's a fact. IF we were measuring in Gbits and Mbits then 1 Gbit = 1000 Mbit, but were not. 1 byte is 8 bits.
Dino Prašo You are obviously the one who is trolling. Please get your facts straight next time you call something a fact. 1 GB is 1000 MB, or E9 Bytes, exactly 1 Gigaton is E9 tons. What you are referring to is called Gibibyte, which is abbreviated by GiB. This probably got a common misconception, because Windows Explorer shows file sizes in GiB, but shows the unit GB. You most probably also are an American, because the misconception is even more likely to happen if you are not used to the consistent metric system: Giga always means E9 times the unit suffix, GiB means 2^30. I hope this clears things up for you, because you sounded very serious.
Thanks! It worked for me! I had to extent the (C:) multiple times due to the limit it game me, but then managed to combine all allocated to single one. Straight forward!
Thanks , now I know I'll repeat and watch because I'm an ICT student we have an activity about Partion hard drives , now I don't to worry about it. Thanks 😘
Hey! While I was trying to merge two drives together, they appear as two separate drives with the same letter. The tab colors are yellow. And in the folder view, it is shown as a single drive. I am not sure how to fix this!! There is no data in the drives. I'd appreciate any help with this.
it does not come up with the option 'extend volume' on my C Local Drive, I have space unallocated in Disk 0.. but does not want to be designated to C driver... as when i right click on C drive the extend volume option is greyed out...
how do i do the reverse, because a few years back i partitioned an external hard drive, but now i want it to be one single drive instead of 5 separate that i currently have.
So If I do this, will the Remix OS work? I have tried everything I can to try to use this program so I can access my apps. This will actually boot to that drive and show me the Android OS on start up of main C drive? I am technically challenged when it comes to computer stuff like this.
iv just got a new pc today and have downloaded loads of stuff and i have to storage places one is windowsC and on is NewVolumeE but i did not separate the hard drive and windows one is 117gb and it is nearly full but my newVolE is empty so will it start filling on its own? if not how do i change that volume to be my main storage area?
When I built my desktop I purchased a 250GB SSD (which works fine), and two 3TB HDD and when I formatted them initially I was only allowed to use roughly 2TB of the drive. The last TB is listed as 'Unallocated.' Is there a way to use this storage space that is currently lost? I have no options to format when I right click on the unallocated space in the computer management window.
I have a question about the shrinking part of my desktop I have a external drive of 4tb. what’s the best amount I should put in or how would I do the math at this point?
hi there.. i have a doubt. total size before shrink shows 526992MB, why does the available sshrink space shows max 60211MB? .. this is my C drive whic i want to be 200GB only.... please help

Hi, first of all I think you for this video. I have a question my laptop has 1TB solid state with one driver with 939GB capacity . I wanted to make another driver with 789GB capacity but It was not possible.the size of available shrink space is 450GB. What can I do? Thanks
Hy can you please tell me , i am trying for partition so there is one dialogue box , The volume you have selected to shrink may be corrupted. Use Chkdsk to fix the corruption problem ,, so kindly tell me what i should do
i recently mapped my 3TB wd nas drive to my pc. do you think this would be able to partition to allow for game storage for an xbox one which is on the same network aswell? cheers in advance.
when I go to shrink mine it says "the volume you have selected to shrink may be corrupted. Use Chkdsk to fix the corruption problem, and then try to shrink the volume again." what do I do?
I was wanting to do a partition on my drive and followed the instructions to the T. Worked great. It ended up that I didn't need it, so I went to reverse it following the reversal directions again to the T watching the video numerous times both ways. It is now giving me an error "There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation". Can someone advise what may be wrong? What can I do? I've tried a few other tools for partitioning and the can't even find the unallocated space but still read my drive as the size the main partition is.
When i right click on the unallocated space, i do not get the option to create a new simple volume. I am trying to partition an external backup drive. Any help would be appreciated.
My C drive became too small to add items so moved lots of files over to D drive. Do not find this helps me keep track. Would like to make C drive bigger and reduce D to do that. Is it possible? Is it simple to do? Have never used backup to restore anything! Would I need to learn using backup first?
How to create exact 8.00GB partition or partition like 10, 50, 100 or even 222GB but make it 222.0 not 221.9? Is there any formula how much windows allocates memory from every partition by specific size?
Is there a way you can shrink a volume and use the unallocated memory to add on to another drive? Please help I really need this because I dont know how to make games apart from steam not instantly get downloaded onto my full disk
im having win 10 original and i forget to make partition in local disk c. now my c drive is half of 1tb, is there is any possibility to partition the c drive now?

I need delete this small partition (with windows 10 setup) but i can't because after windows install its make it system disk. How to set "Status" Healthy(System, ....) to another disk?
I know this is kind of late but I am trying to partition a disk so that I can dual boot win10 and kali linux but when i try to shrink volume, they are all limited to 0MB not letting me partition any disk. please help!
First I get a dialogue asking "The operation you selected will convert the selected basic disk(s) to dynamic disk(s). If you convert the disk(s) to dynamic, you will not be able to start installed operating systems from any volume on the disk(s) (except the current boot volume.) Are you sure you want to continue?" If I click no I just get dumped backed into the partition manager, but if I click yes I get another dialogue that says "The selected GPT formatted disk contains a partition which is not of type 'PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID', and is both preceeded and followed by a partition of type 'PARTITION_BASIC_DATA_GUID'." I have no idea what is happening here. Can I fix this? I am unable to located the volume.
my Disk 0 drive (which i believe is an SSD) is divided into 5 partitions already! two of them are 100% free and say they are for EFI system and OEM system respectively. can i combine these two into my C: drive, which by the way has a measly 94GB?
Please help me to solve this problem- When i create a partition and. make a new simple volume and complete the steps and when i click finish it shows 'Partition_Basic_Guid'some thing like this and i'm not able to create a partition. Please.... Please help me🙏
I have a DELL with preloaded WIN 10 & Office 2016, Pl confirm if the partition of 1TB, into 500, 250, 250 GB corrupt the OS ? Regards Krishnan Chennai, India

hi , in your video you have a removable 8gb drive with Windows 7 on it ( 2:47 ) , i am assuming that is a recovery usb of Windows 7 ? .. is it ? and is it a bootable usb ?
Helpful video...but i hv a question...is it possible to partioned hard drives of win 10 without formating the laptop?i hv only c drive now with 1 TB of space...i want to create another disk for safety...i m in trouble...plz help...
whenever i did the cursor shows loading like forever after i did everything and when time comes for creation of partition it shows loading and nothing happens it doesnt stuck but nothing happens
I would like to a serious question. You allocated 8g. When it was done you lost a bit. Why? Does it actually require some memory to set up a partition within the same hard drive.
Hi,I'v just built a pc from bits (AsRock Ab350m m/board,4th Sata Seagate HDD, 16gb, Win Pro 64bit etc) all works fine. BUT I can only partition about 2tb! How do I partition the remainder? Seagate disk extender does not work! Motherboard is "UEFI" but as I say, I cannot find out how to extend or expand my HDD. I have a 500GB C: drive. Thanks for any help in advance!!
Hi Curtis. Sorry yes I ment 2tb and above. Turns out that there is something that needs to be done for drives above 2tb, see reply from Seagate to me; Thank you for contacting Seagate Support. We regret the inconvenience caused. We understand that you would like to use the entire drive capacity. We will certainly assist you with the issue. This is to inform you that if your hard drive is formatted in MBR partition, then the maximum capacity that an MBR partition supports only 2 TB. Alternatively, as you are going to use this hard drive as a secondary so you can format the drive in GPT partition which will help you use the entire capacity of the hard drive. In this instance, we suggest that you perform Diskpart the hard drive and initialize in GPT partition which helps to use the entire capacity of the drive. Please follow the instructions below for performing Disk Part operation. Note: As an advisory statement, please understand that deleting, erasing, formatting, or partitioning your drive will permanently destroy your important data (pictures, videos, music, and documents), which Seagate cannot attempt to recover without cost to you. Please check the number of the disk the drive is listed as in disk management. To access Disk Management, go to your Start menu, right-click on My Computer, go to Manage, and then from the left-hand menu choose Disk Management. (For Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 you can simply right-click on the start button and directly choose Disk Management.) Within Disk Management, this drive should show in your list of disks in the lower portion of Disk Management (Disk 0, 1, 2, etc.). Take note of the disk number for the drive. You will need it shortly. You can leave Disk Management open because we are going to come back to it in a moment. 1) Go to a DOS command line: -In Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista, click the Windows icon and then type cmd in the search field and press Enter. -In Windows XP, click the Start menu, select Run, then type cmd and press Enter. 2) In the command line, type: DiskPart Then, press Enter. 3) Figure out which disk you want to erase - it will be identified with a number, this is the same number I had you look up in disk management. Then type: Select disk X “X” is the number of the disk you want to erase. This will set the focus to the specified drive. For example: Select disk 2 4) Type: Clean. Then, press Enter to erase the disk. 5) Type: convert gpt. This will convert the partition scheme to GPT 6) Go back to Disk Management. You should see that the disk is "Unallocated" now. Right-click on "Not initialized" and choose "Initialize Disk" and select "GPT" partition while initializing the hard drive. Then, the drive should be ready to partition and format. 7) Now right-click on the "Unallocated" area. Select "New Simple Volume or New Partition". Agree with everything until you see this: Default NTFS New Volume = (name the drive whatever you like) Then put a checkmark in the box "Perform a quick format". Select Apply or Start. When the drive is ready for use, it will say NTFS - Healthy. We hope the above information is helpful to resolve the issue. Please reply to this email if you require further assistance. Regards, Seagate Support

Thanks a ton! I purchased a Lenovo 2 days back, and was strapped for cash to pay a professional for doing the partition. Thanks once again!

It's taking too much time and still loading and there is no partition after that.
Thanks was actually freaking out
What would we need such partition ? If I have to reinstall Windows, would it keep the other partitions untouched ? Is it a good idea to install all programs on a separate partition, so as not to loose them if one day I need to do a fresh Win install ?
How do you set a partition to primary?
Oh my god thank you could not find anything that actually explained it in a way that someone who is not a super nerd would get
But when I try to reallocate memory back to C drive, the option "Extend Volume" can't be selected; it's grayed out. :/
1st delete extended volume and then you can able to reallocate memory back to C..

I can't shrink C:/ drive defragment file located how to solve it plzz make video on it
have got a problem....
I have shrunk one my drive but it cannot be allocated. The error says the selected gpt formatted disk contains a partition that is not of type partition basic data guid, and is both preceded and followed by the partition of type partition basic data guid.
What does this mean and how to fix it
Thanks for helping! Quick and clear tutorial :D
This was really well done. Thank you so much for this help! I just bought a 4 TB hard drive and it was my first time doing anything like this so I was really confused and worried since it didn't show anything. All sorted out now. Thanks again!
thanx bro. you saved my money
thanks but what's the meaning of "make partition as active" should I do this on my data storage partition ?
i have 270 gb free out of 460 gb but,
it says i can only shrink 3 gb why?
same here have you found an answer?
Windows has 2TB limit. You have to convert the drive from MBR to GTP to do that you have to get Aomei Partition assistant Professional.
Thanx a lot. I am searching for this past 1 year and finally I got it and once again thanx
It has no option to extend the volume
WinBeta
the unallocated space needs to be directly adjacent to the file you'd like to extend... as for how to do that, that's what I want to know.
Go for d drive
Hi. When I right click on the d drive I don't get any of the options shown in your video. All I get is a 'help' option (which, typically, leads to no help of any real use!). Any idea why I'm not getting the option to extend/shrink volume, or what I can do about it? Thanks, Steve

2:13 Yeah... It's "OBVIOUSLY" NOT 8000 MB... it's 8192 MB.
Why would that be? I don't see what's wrong, because it obviously is 8000 MB
Prime Ninja I really hope you're trolling. If you're not, then it's 8192 MB, because 1 GB is NOT 1000 MB but rather 1024 MB. That's a fact. IF we were measuring in Gbits and Mbits then 1 Gbit = 1000 Mbit, but were not. 1 byte is 8 bits.

I tried shrinking my 256GB SSD, but it can only go down to around 100GB, can't i make it any smaller?

whenever i did the cursor shows loading like forever after i did everything and when time comes for creation of partition it shows loading and nothing happens it doesnt stuck but nothing happens
I would like to a serious question. You allocated 8g. When it was done you lost a bit. Why? Does it actually require some memory to set up a partition within the same hard drive.
He typed 8000mb which is not 8GB. That's why he got like a 7.8gigs
So I have a partition but its awful I want to repartition(?) the drives so I have more in the main one. How can I do this?
Kept it short and simple. I-THANK-YOU.
Is partitioning a way of backing up a drive for recovery?
If so, how does one recover a bricked hard drive from a partition?
Hi,I'v just built a pc from bits (AsRock Ab350m m/board,4th Sata Seagate HDD, 16gb, Win Pro 64bit etc) all works fine. BUT I can only partition about 2tb! How do I partition the remainder? Seagate disk extender does not work! Motherboard is "UEFI" but as I say, I cannot find out how to extend or expand my HDD. I have a 500GB C: drive. Thanks for any help in advance!!
Hi Curtis. Sorry yes I ment 2tb and above. Turns out that there is something that needs to be done for drives above 2tb, see reply from Seagate to me;
Thank you for contacting Seagate Support.
We regret the inconvenience caused. We understand that you would like to use the entire drive capacity. We will certainly assist you with the issue.
This is to inform you that if your hard drive is formatted in MBR partition, then the maximum capacity that an MBR partition supports only 2 TB. Alternatively, as you are going to use this hard drive as a secondary so you can format the drive in GPT partition which will help you use the entire capacity of the hard drive.
In this instance, we suggest that you perform Diskpart the hard drive and initialize in GPT partition which helps to use the entire capacity of the drive. Please follow the instructions below for performing Disk Part operation.
Note: As an advisory statement, please understand that deleting, erasing, formatting, or partitioning your drive will permanently destroy your important data (pictures, videos, music, and documents), which Seagate cannot attempt to recover without cost to you.
Please check the number of the disk the drive is listed as in disk management.
To access Disk Management, go to your Start menu, right-click on My Computer, go to Manage, and then from the left-hand menu choose Disk Management. (For Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 you can simply right-click on the start button and directly choose Disk Management.)
Within Disk Management, this drive should show in your list of disks in the lower portion of Disk Management (Disk 0, 1, 2, etc.). Take note of the disk number for the drive. You will need it shortly. You can leave Disk Management open because we are going to come back to it in a moment.
1) Go to a DOS command line:
-In Windows 10/8.1/8/7/Vista, click the Windows icon and then type cmd in the search field and press Enter.
-In Windows XP, click the Start menu, select Run, then type cmd and press Enter.
2) In the command line, type:
DiskPart
Then, press Enter.
3) Figure out which disk you want to erase - it will be identified with a number, this is the same number I had you look up in disk management.
Then type:
Select disk X
“X” is the number of the disk you want to erase. This will set the focus to the specified drive.
For example:
Select disk 2
4) Type: Clean. Then, press Enter to erase the disk.
5) Type: convert gpt. This will convert the partition scheme to GPT
6) Go back to Disk Management. You should see that the disk is "Unallocated" now.
Right-click on "Not initialized" and choose "Initialize Disk" and select "GPT" partition while initializing the hard drive.
Then, the drive should be ready to partition and format.
7) Now right-click on the "Unallocated" area.
Select "New Simple Volume or New Partition".
Agree with everything until you see this:
Default
NTFS
New Volume = (name the drive whatever you like)
Then put a checkmark in the box "Perform a quick format".
Select Apply or Start.
When the drive is ready for use, it will say NTFS - Healthy.
We hope the above information is helpful to resolve the issue. Please reply to this email if you require further assistance.
