My PC is using 100gb instead of 1tb HELP!

SGT PODDY · Mar 10, 2016

My PC has made a partition of 100gb and 900gb. My PC is using the 100gb which is shown as 'Drive 0' and the nonallocated as 900gb in 'Drive 1' .

Any help would be appreciated

Did you find this information through disk management? Also, what version of Windows are you running (7, 8.1, 10)?

Do "drive 0" and "drive 1" appear on the same physical disk?

Example of physical disk https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B--sybQBf2RnQnN5RzdteDZaQW8/view?usp=sharing

Assuming that the unallocated Drive 1 is after (to the right of) Drive 0 and it's color code is black, then you should be able to simply extend Drive 0 to fill the whole thing. http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-use-disk-management-to-extend-a-partition-i.html

Then you should be able to extend Drive 0 to fill Drive 1 as long as Drive 1 is to the right of Drive 0 and it's color code is black. If what I just said isn't what's on your screen, let me know.

that is two separate physical disks. You can just right click the black space >simple volume>format >assign drive letter and be on your way.

Its saying assign to E, will that be ok?

Oh okay. What you can do is to just create a basic volume on Disk 1 and it'll be available for storage. If you go into settings by pressing windows+i then hit system then go to the storage tab, you'll be able to choose where your files will be stored once you've set up a partition at the unallocated space.

Step 1: create a partition from the unallocated space of Disk 1 using the NTFS filesystem https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg309170.aspx Windows 10 has a very similar looking disk management and it should work about the same

Step 2: go to settings and change where your files save to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B--sybQBf2RnZmt4aGN4V2R5bms/view?usp=sharing

I believe the root of our confusion was you saying Drive 0 when you meant Disk 0. I'm not trying to be mean, just letting you know that there's a difference between a disk and a drive.

SGT PODDY · Mar 10, 2016

I've set it to Drive E , I really just wish I could put them togther -_-

weberdarren97 · Mar 10, 2016

Alright, that's fine. As long as it's not A or B, they're reserved for floppy drives.

weberdarren97 · Mar 10, 2016

If you do my little trick in the settings app, it will save you stuff to folders that it will automatically create in the root of drive E:\
