Jun 15, 2017 About Windows 10 Disk Management Windows 10 is the latest Operating System (OS) released by Microsoft. It improves much compared with Windows 8 such as adding the Start Menu seen in Windows 7, a virtual desktop system, a voice assistant named Cortana, Xbox. 1) Insert the drive into the PC or laptop onto which you want to install Windows 10. Then turn on the computer and it should boot from the flash drive. If not, enter the BIOS and ensure the computer is set to boot from the USB drive (using the arrow keys to put it in the first place in the boot sequence).
Hi,You're post is quite confusing but we may be able to help. You say you are trying to remove the hard drive, but you don't say WHICH drive by letter designation. Which drive and letter are you having the problem with? C:, E:, J:, K:, I:?Also, when asking a question like this it's customary to at least provide us with some basics. What version of Windows are you running? A garconete filme download. What Make/Model is the computer?
Is it a desktop PC or a laptop? Is it an OEM PC (Dell, HP, Acer, Toshiba)? Self-built PC or Custom-built PC?It's hard to solve a problem you've had for weeks or months without this kind of information.If you didn't know which drive is the Bootdrive (C: drive), then who added all these extra drives to your computer? Did you buy it with all these drives from someone?There a number of repair tools you can use to fix this problem, but if you remove the C: drive and it doesn't boot from the other drives, this is normal as only ONE DRIVE, THE C: BOOTDRIVE is responsible for booting Windows (commonly referred to as Drive #0).
If any of your other drives are USB drives, which it appears to be, none of those drives are capable of booting Windows, so of course removing the C: drive will cause your system not to boot.Thanks,. HiYou can download EasyBCD it will make it easy to see what's going on, and create a boot file on the drive that you want.There's a free version and the bottom of the page.You should be able to add the Unallocated partition to Drive I: in disk manager.They are both on the same physical drive.You should leave the Recovery Partition on Drive 0, C: alone.Normally there would be a System Reserved partition on Drive 0.You can probably create one, as Nemmo has said.Not sure how you get the correct data on it though since this is usually created during Windows install. On my computer it's only 350 Mb.Mike. Hi all Thanks for your replies,Sorry I didn't know what information I needed to include.The drive I am trying to remove is disk 1 which has the I drive in it.
There is currently nothing on this drive it is all empty except I think the boot manager is on this drive?This is an OEM self built machine with Windows 10 installed on it. The windows folder is on the C drive.When I remove the I drive from this machine and then try to boot up with the C drive selected in the bios, I just get a black screen with a blinking curor.Thanks again everyone for your help.Wilson. You can open an Administrative command prompt and type the command below to place boot files in the C partition. Make sure and put spaces where indicated or copy and paste the commands.bcdboot c:windows /s c:Then shut your system down and disconnect the other drive. During reboot, make sure drive 0 is set as the primary boot device. The system should now boot normally but you may not have recovery options available. So before you shut the system down you might run the command below in case you need the info, it should show the path to the recovery tools so save the listing.reagentc /info.
HiIf Windows is on Drive C: you should be able to tell EasyBCD to create a boot sector on Drive C:, after that it should boot from drive C:.EasyBCD will be able to see what drive Windows is on if you ask it scan for operating systems.After you have changed it in EasyBCD reboot the computer and bring up the boot menu, f8 on my computer, and tell it to boot from Drive C.Make sure that it shows C: as an available bootable drive and then boot to it.Then unplug the other drive and try rebooting once more you should be good to go.You can do the same thing manually as Saltgrass described.Mike. All you can do is try, the other option is to reinstall Windows on the drive you want to boot to, with the other drive unplugged so that it will create the boot sector and install the OS all at the same time on the new drive.I've always had good luck with EasyBCD, and it's easy (as it says), to use but I haven't done what you are trying to do in a long time so it's not fresh in my mind. But if I remember correctly you only have to select, Change boot drive, Select the drive you want to boot to, and click go ahead or something like that, and it will do it automatically.Read though this and see if it's what you are looking for.Make sure that the drive you want to boot to is ahead in the boot order but after whatever removable media you want to be able to boot to i.e. Your DVD drive.It should be something like, 1 DVD drive, 2 Drive C:, 3 other drives.
Disk Management Takes A Long Time To Load
Disk Management is one of the core utilities in Windows 10 that allows you to look deep into your computer's hard drive, detect any problems and fix them if they're causing issues. The main tasks it can carry out are creating, deleting, formatting, extending and contracting partitions, although it is also useful if you need to be able to set up a new hard drive using a Master Boot Record (MBR) and GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning structure. Using Disk ManagementWith Disk Management open you can carry out a number of tasks.Extend a partition – To do this right click the partition you would like to expand and then choose Extend Volume. Sometimes a user will find the Extend Volume option is greyed out – this is because the Extend Volume in Windows 10 is only available when there is adjoining unallocated space behind the partition.Create a virtual hard drive – You can create and attach a VHD file by using Disk Management. Choose Create VHD from the Action menu. You can specify settings in dialogue box such as the location of the VHD, its size, and format (dynamically expanding or fixed).
Click OK to create the VHD. After this, the VHD is attached and is shown as an uninitialised disk.Convert from MBR to GPT- A hard drive can be converted from an MBR disk to a GPT disk using Disk Management. Right-click on the disk in Disk Management and select Convert to GPT disk. (Make sure any volumes on the disk are removed first). The disk will be changed and should show as Online.
