| May 8, 2023 at 22:13 | comment | added | lemond_2021 | I was able to fix them. I think it is fine now. Thank you very much. | |
| May 8, 2023 at 22:13 | comment | added | Yisroel Tech | @AndrewMorton, I don't see how actions on one drive can cause issue in the other one. Of course people can click wrong things, but if you are afraid of that, then they can anyhow damage/delete both separately... I agree that it's more cautious, the question is how cautious one really needs to be. | |
| May 8, 2023 at 22:10 | comment | added | Andrew Morton | @YisroelTech It might be prudent for the first step to be to physically remove the 1 TB drive so that it cannot accidentally be damaged while trying to get the 2 TB drive into the desired state (i.e. with a larger partition for C:). | |
| May 8, 2023 at 22:02 | comment | added | Yisroel Tech | Also you now booted from the 1 TB drive, not the 2 TB drive. So before deleting the 1 TB drive you'll need to reboot and start from the 2 TB drive (it'd be good if you shut of the PC and switch the two drives where they're connected on the motherboard.) | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:54 | comment | added | Yisroel Tech | Did you press Apply after each step? Put a screenshot of Disk Management and MiniTool Partition Wizard now. | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:53 | comment | added | lemond_2021 | I restarted and it did not make these changes. imgur.com/a/toHXJfc | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:49 | comment | added | lemond_2021 | So I can now restart the PC. Thank you! | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:48 | comment | added | Yisroel Tech | Yes. (Click Apply after Create if not done yet.) | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:47 | comment | added | lemond_2021 | So I set assigned E to disk 1 for 1. Is it everything that needs to be done for now? | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:44 | comment | added | Yisroel Tech | For 1: Right click on the unallocated in Disk 1 and do Create. For 2: Leave the other partitions alone unless you know that you don't need the space (which you don't). | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:41 | comment | added | lemond_2021 | imgur.com/a/Rs7Gyft shows there is an option to extend to Recovery. Shall one do it? | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:39 | comment | added | lemond_2021 | This is the current situation imgur.com/a/hBldsnq Shall I just extend C:(NTFS) as much as possible with "Extend Partition"? Or shall I keep some partition? | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:37 | comment | added | lemond_2021 | Right click on Disk 1 and choose Delete all partitions. Then click Apply-> done | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:35 | comment | added | Yisroel Tech | For 2: It happens (due to the fact that the unallocated spaces isn't next to the C: partition.) So this as well in MiniTool Partition Wizard. | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:33 | comment | added | Yisroel Tech | For 1: Right click on Disk 1 and choose Delete all partitions. Then click Apply. | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:31 | comment | added | lemond_2021 | For 2, I tried Disk Manager but "extend volume" is greyed out. | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:30 | comment | added | lemond_2021 | I now installed MiniTool Partition Wizard. This is the screenshot imgur.com/a/weJiT8P What to do now? | |
| May 8, 2023 at 21:28 | comment | added | lemond_2021 | Very clear answer. Working on it now. | |
