Well, you have to select something before there are any 'tasks' available.
In computer management you have the category to manage on the left and when
you select disk management there you get a list of volumes at the top right
and the drives, with a physical layout of the partition information, at the
bottom right. A new, raw, unpartitioned drive will have the 'Disk 1' (or
whatever number it is) Basic (raw drive) 'square' on the left side of the
right hand window with the remaining, to the right of it, showing no
partitions (also text description in the top right window). Right click
(learn to right click on things. That's where the 'good stuff' is) on it
(or in the top window) and one of the options is to create partition. The
partition wizard will take it from there.
Once there are partitions, right clicking with have the 'delete partition'
option, change drive letter, and (if it's inactive) 'mark partition as
active'. Point being, what options are available depends on the status of
the drive/partition.
So where did you learn such things. any online tutorial or knowledge base
or did you do one of the microsoft certificated courses?
Many years of working with all manner of computers, from embedded to
mainframes.
thanks again matey.
