Hello Community
On a hard disk Windows 2008R2 Server is installed.
The disk was previously used
by on a workstation so it had different
partitiions on it.
I don’t want the other partitions I just want c:\ and d:\ partitions to be on the disk.
I deleted the partitions and they now are just unallocated spaces with only
a c:\ drive remaining.
The problem is that the physical composition of the drive from (left to right) in computer management is that there is unallocated space (on left side) totaling 100GB,next (in the middle) there is the c:\ partition which has 300gb and finally on the right there is another 100GB of unallocated space.
As you can see the c:\ partition is in the middle of 2 unallocated spaces.
When "dos" was popular you could use delpart.exe and/or fdkdisk.exe but I don’t know where to find it, and if I did find it I don't know if it works on 64bit technology.
Also NT4.0 used to ask you if you wanted to delete partitions before it installed on a new partition or a different partition (including asking what type of O/S NTS you wanted installed before installing) it has been said that
the 2008R2 installation can also asks if you want to delete partitions but when I put the installation disk in it immediately start installing so I stop it, because I already have a clean install I just want get rid of all of those unallocated partitions and
create a c:\ and d:\ partition.
So the question is, how can I put the 2 unallocated spaces together contiguously and maybe assign the drive letters c:\ and d:\ to it so that the drive will only have
a c:\ partition and a d:\ partition?
By the way, there is also a folder named “Recover” on the drive because the drive use to be installed on a workstation. that I deleted the files of so that I could use the disk but will not allow me to delete the "folder itself" that the
contained the contents, so how do you delete that folder?
Thank you
