How to remove hard drive sections

Different situations happen in which the unification of disk sections may be required. For example, we bought a used computer or only a hard drive, and the breakdown does not suit you or on a new computer made sections whose dimensions decided to change. You can combine them and carry out the breakdown again. You can do this operation in different ways.

1
Method 1. To combine disk sections, you can use Windows OS products without installing some additional programs. In the “disc“ disc “disks” settings, set the “manually” method, otherwise the attempt to remove the section will end with an error. Perform a number of actions: “Start” - “Standard” - “Perform”, then in the service line, type “DiskMgMt.MSc” - the name of the disk management service. Press the Enter key. In the window that opens, the names of the existing sections of the disk will be listed. Choose the name of the volume that must be removed. For example, out of two sections of Tom C and D, you need to leave only with - on the disk d, click with the right mouse button, select "Delete the volume ...".

Pre -copy all the information from the deleted disk (D) removed to the external medium, because now the notification will be released on the screen that the data on the disk will be lost. We must agree if you want to combine sections. A free disc space will appear, due to which the volume of another disk can be increased. This area of \u200b\u200bthe disk is not yet marked and highlighted in the disk control manager in black. You can create a new section in it or attach to the existing section.

If the volume for some reason does not delete after the entered command, try to remove the disk section using the Delete Volume Override command. Go out using the Exit command from the Diskpart discs service and close the command line window.

In the list of sections, this volume will have the type “not marked”.

In the process of removing the section, the system will be reloaded several times. Then the Partition Magic program will automatically start. The area of \u200b\u200bthe remote section of the disk will be awarded in the program window on the “List of Sections” - “Not Made” tab, the selected section is removed.

You can delete the disk without installing additional programs in Windows 7 OS. You can not delete in this way the section from the operating system installed on it or other system files (for example, pumping files). If the Windows XP version is installed, then you need to use special programs for working with disks.
