To resolve disk management issues, you should run CMD, type a series of commands in order, and be careful to avoid mistaken operations, for any carelessness may lead to serious data loss.
But if you input format instead of format quick, then the removed data cannot be recovered even by professional data recovery program. Seems rather complex right? See how you can use this free Windows 7 partition manager to extend partition and convert disk style. If you want to extend partition C by using Diskpart, then you should first of all check out whether there is some unallocated space following the C drive Note only unallocated space can be used to extend primary partition.
If YES, then do the followings:. At this time, you should delete the partition to make sure that there is continuous unallocated space following the primary partition to be extended and free space for logical partition. After that, repeat the above operations. For more information, please refer to Virtual Disk Service Error.
However, by using Command Prompt, things are quite different. Please read on. Besides, CMD supports the use of scripts to automate its usage. Cons : CMD is not easy to use for average users. Without a clean interface, data loss happens often if a wrong partition is chosen. However, Disk Management is relatively dull and often fails a job when there is something different. Guess many of you have such an experience: when trying to extend partition, sometimes " Extend Volume " is activated, but sometimes it is disabled, not knowing why.
If you want to extend partition using Disk Management, you should click on the partition you intend to increase capacity and choose "Extend Volume" from the context menu, then follow the extend wizard to complete this task. However, most of the time, you will find that Extend Volume is grayed out, just like showing below:.
Theoretically speaking, Extend Volume will grey out if one of the following conditions is not true:. Besides, sometimes "Extend Volume" will lead to a basic disk to become dynamic disk. Actually, this happens on data drive. Typically, you only select the option Use typical installation options for a stand-alone primary site when you want to install a stand-alone primary site in a test environment.
When you select this option, setup does the following actions:. If you select an evaluation edition, choose Next. You can upgrade an evaluation installation to a full installation later. You can also specify the Software Assurance expiration date of your licensing agreement. It's a convenient reminder of that date. If you don't enter this date during Setup, you can specify it later from within the Configuration Manager console.
Microsoft doesn't validate the expiration date that you entered and doesn't use this date for license validation. You can use it as a reminder of your expiration date. This date is useful because Configuration Manager periodically checks for new software updates offered online. Your software assurance license status should be current so that you're eligible to use these additional updates. For more information, see Licensing and branches.
On the Microsoft Software License Terms page, read and accept the license terms. On the Prerequisite Licenses page, read and accept the license terms for the prerequisite software. Setup downloads and automatically installs the software on site systems or clients when it's required. Accept all of the terms before you continue to the next page. On the Prerequisite Downloads page, specify whether Setup must download the latest prerequisite redistributable files from the internet or use previously downloaded files:.
If you want Setup to download the files at this time, select Download required files. Then specify a location to store the files. If you previously downloaded the files by using Setup Downloader , select Use previously downloaded files.
Then specify the download folder. If you use previously downloaded files, verify that the path to the download folder contains the most recent version of the files. On the Server Language Selection page, select the languages that are available for the Configuration Manager console and for reports. The wizard selects English by default and you can't remove it. For more information, see Language packs.
On the Client Language Selection page, select the languages that are available to client computers. Also specify whether to enable all client languages for mobile device clients. When you use a CAS, make sure that client languages you configure at the CAS include all client languages that you configure at each child primary site. Clients that install from a distribution point have access to the client languages from the top-tier site, while clients that install from a management point have access to the client languages from their assigned primary site.
On the Site and Installation Settings page, specify the following settings for the new site that you're installing:. Site code : Each site code in a hierarchy must be unique. Use three alpha-numeric characters: A through Z and 0 through 9. Because the site code is used in folder names, don't use the following Windows-reserved names:. Setup doesn't verify whether the site code that you specify is already in use, or if it's a reserved name. Site name : Each site requires this friendly name, which can help you identify the site.
Installation folder : This folder is the path to the Configuration Manager installation. You can't change the location after the site installs. The path can't contain Unicode characters or trailing spaces. Consider whether you want to use the default installation folder. If you use the default OS partition in a production environment, you may experience the following issues in the future:.
On the Site Installation page, use the following option that matches your scenario:. On the Central Administration Site Installation page, select Install as the first site in a new hierarchy , and then choose Next to continue.
On the Central Administration Site Installation page, select Expand an existing stand-alone primary into a hierarchy.
On the Primary Site Installation page, select Install the primary site as a stand-alone site , and then choose Next. On the Primary Site Installation page, select Join the primary site to an existing hierarchy. For example, for server SQLServer1.
Instance name : By default, this value is blank. It uses the default instance of SQL Server on the site server computer. You can customize this value. SQL Server uses it to communicate directly to the site database at other sites. When you use a SQL Server Always On failover cluster instance, the option to specify custom file locations isn't available.
After the site installs, you can configure more SMS Providers. On the Client Communication Settings page, choose how clients will communicate with site systems. Otherwise, you individually configure the communication method for each site system role. For more information, see PKI certificate requirements. This step only applies when you install a primary site.
If you're installing a CAS, skip this step. On the Site System Roles page, choose whether to install a management point or distribution point. For each role that you choose to have installed by Setup:. Enter the FQDN for the server that will host the role. You can't change this setting unless you go back to the previous page. To install site system roles, Setup uses the site system installation account.
By default, it uses the primary site's computer account. This account must be a local administrator on the remote computer to install the role. If this account lacks the required permissions, don't install the roles during Setup. After you configure additional accounts to use as site system installation accounts, install the roles from the Configuration Manager console. For more information, see Accounts. On the Usage Data page, review the information about data that Microsoft collects, and then choose Next.
For more information, see Diagnostics and usage data. If you're installing a CAS as part of a site expansion scenario, and the stand-alone primary site already has this role, first uninstall it from the stand-alone primary site.
Configuration Manager can only have one instance of the service connection point in a hierarchy. It's only supported at the top-tier site of the hierarchy. After you select a configuration for the Service Connection Point , choose Next. After Setup completes, you can change this configuration from the Configuration Manager console. For more information, see About the service connection point. On the Settings Summary page, review the setting that you've selected.
