Problems with Disk Management. Mainly the SRP.
September 3rd, 2022
here I am again, looking for advice from the awesomeness that is, you guys.
I have 2 issues for you guys,
1. The SRP on the Disk 1 segment (as posted just below). It keeps popping up, despite me having completely formated the harddrive linked to it. I had a Windows 7 OS on the ‘Lucian’ drive. This needs to be burned with fire.
2. The 41,51GB of ‘Free Space’. I’m not able to delete it into unallocated space, nor am I able to extend another drive with it.
I just get a warning with ‘There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation’.
Any information necesary in order for you guys to figure it out will be posted on demand.
What do you want to do to the system reserved partition ? Delete it ?
As for the second question you can only have 4 primary partitions.
You should really look into virtual hard drives and libarys
I want to delete the SRP on the disk 1 partition. While it may only be 350MB, and not that big of a deal, it is hellaannoying to look at. But this is really a minor issue.
Yes, I’m aware of that, but I am not able to delete it into unallocated space nor delete the Lucian drive, and create a new partition out of the 2. Also, thanks for bringing this to my attention, I was blatantly unaware of virtual hard drives.
If you don’t want the system reserved partition in future you can press shift + f10
Dism /apply-image /imagefile:?:\Sources\install.wim /index:? /ApplyDir:C:\
then bcdboot C:\Windows /s c:
after formatting the disk in the gui, Its needed for bitlocker though.
If you want to delete the exsisting partition you can boot from the installation media and press shift + f10 then use diskpart to delete it > Mark the c:\ drive as active and create the boot files with bcdboot C:\Windows /s c:
I’ll write this down and try it when I get home. However, this is close to a alian language to me, so I might have some question in-between, which I will post here. However, I do think I already owe you a huge thank you, so… Thank you my friend! It is greatly appreciated.
Edit: I’m not sure if what you wrote will fix the problem with the space I’m unable to delete into unallocated space, but if you have a fix for this aswell, it would be more than lovely.
Unallocated space is just free space..You can’t delete free space..
You can right click on it and go on create partition..
