Create new partition of existing C: drive Vista
I am attempting to create a new partition to store pictures. I have created
the unallocated space (reducing the space on my C: drive). When I complete the drive wizard to assign the drive letter to the partition, I get the following error: You cannot create a new volume in this unallocated space because the disk already contains the maximum number of partitions. Fairly new Dell Inspiron 1525 Vista C: 98GB D: 9.77GB Recovery Primary 39GB Primary 2.5GB Unassigned 40GB that I am trying to assign to a drive letter. The 2 primary unassigned drives came with the computer. I did not create them. I was trying to create a new partition with 40GB that I took from my C: drive that originally had 140 GB. I got the above error when I used the wizard to assign a drive letter to the new partition. Thank you for your help! |
