  1. Lost D disk while manually resizing and creating partition


    I was trying to manually resize the partition of the recovery of my OS and to shrink to the needed size , I accidentaly chose the disk of my local D drive and created a primary partition with it and now I cant find or access my local D disk as it became a recovery partition , how do i get my drive back?

    How to create D: partition?

    You can manually create the D Drive:

    • Open Disk Management (accessible from the right click of your Start Menu)
    • Select your C Drive, right click it and select 'Shrink'
    • Shrink the drive by the size you wish your D drive to be (1000MB = 1GB)
    • If Windows has problems shrinking the C Drive, defrag the drive and try again
    • You will then be left with unallocated space - right click this unallocated space and create a partition on it

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

    Yes, just create a new partition using the free space.
    Step by step here: Free partition manager to resize/move FAT & NTFS hard disk partition
    But, remember, if things can go wrong... they will at the most inopportune moment.
    You might wanna make a disk image(or back-up) of the files first.
