    MANAGEMENT
    SOFTWARE
    Disk Management Software
    • is a utility built into different operating
    systems which can be used to create,
    delete, format partitions, assign drive
    letters, and much more
    • can be also be used to view partitions
    and their formatted file systems on the
    hard drive.
    How To Access Disk
    Management
    • The most common way to
    access Disk Management is
    via Computer Management:
    Methods to Access the
    Disk Management
    Method 1
    • Click the Start button > Control
    Panel > Administrative Tools.
    • Double Click Computer
    Management and then click
    Disk Management in the left
    hand column.
    Method 2
    • Click Start > Run and type
    diskmgmt.msc in the Open: line
    and click OK. The Disk
    Management snap-in will open.
    Method 3
    • By default, Administrative Tools is not
    shown on the Start Menu but if you have
    modified the Start Menu (by right clicking the
    Start button and selecting Properties >
    Customize) so it is shown then just select
    Start > Administrative Tools > Computer
    Management and then click Disk
    Management in the left hand column.
    Method 3
    • 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 OK button, depending on where you ran
    the command from.
    Note:
    • Technically, opening Disk Management from
    the Command Prompt would require that
    you actually open the Command Prompt
    program. However, running an executable
    program like diskmgmt.msc from the search
    or run box accomplishes the same thing
    Another Way of Opening Disk Management

    • Just press the WIN and X keys together


    to bring up the menu, then click on the
    Disk Management shortcut. Beginning
    the the Windows 8.1 update, right-clicking
    on the start button works to bring up the
    Power User Menu too.
    How to Use the Disk Management
    • Disk Management has to main sections – a
    top and a bottom:
    • The top section contains a list of all the
    partitions, formatted or not, that Windows
    recognizes.
    • The bottom section contains a graphical
    representation of the physical drives installed
    in the computer.
    Here are some common things that you can
    do in Disk Management:
    • Partition a Drive
    • Format a Drive
    • Change a Drive’s Letter
    • Shrink a Partition
    • Extend a Partition
    • Delete a Partition
    • Change a Drive’s File System
    Partition a Hard Drive
    • 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 is also possible for an entire hard drive to
    have a single partition, which oddly enough is
    actually the most common way to partition a
    hard drive.
    Partition a Hard Drive
    • Read the Welcome page and 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 be formatted. If you want to
    form the volume, choose Format
    This Volume With the Following
    Settings, and then configure the
    following options:
