You can't extend the partition if the system page file is located on the partition. Move the page file to a partition that you don't want to extend. To extend a partition or volume, first select the volume to give it the focus, and then specify how large to make the extension.

To extend a volume, follow these steps:. The space, in megabytes MB , to add to the current partition. If you don't specify a size, the disk is extended to use all the next contiguous unallocated space. The dynamic disk on which to extend the volume. If no disk is specified, the volume is extended on the current disk.

Striped volume Like a spanned volume, a striped volume combines multiple hard disk portions into a single entity. A striped volume uses special formatting to write to each of the portions equally in a stripe to increase performance. A striped volume provides no fault tolerance and actually increases your exposure to failure, but it is faster than either a spanned volume or a single drive. A stripe set is often referred to as RAID-0 , although this is a misnomer because plain striping includes no redundancy.

Mirror volume A pair of dynamic volumes that contain identical data and appear to the world as a single entity. Disk mirroring can use two drives on the same hard disk controller or use separate controllers, in which case it is sometimes referred to as duplexing. In case of failure on the part of either drive, the other hard disk can be split off so that it continues to provide complete access to the data stored on the drive, providing a high degree of fault tolerance.

This technique is called RAID RAID-5 volume Like a striped volume, a RAID-5 volume combines portions of multiple hard disks into a single entity with data written across all portions equally.

However, it also writes parity information for each stripe onto a different portion, providing the ability to recover in the case of a single drive failure.

A RAID-5 volume provides excellent throughput for read operations, but it is substantially slower than all other available options for write operations. Rather than using several inexpensive hard disks and providing fault tolerance through redundancy, you buy the best hard disk you can and bet your entire network on it. JBOD Just a bunch of disks. The hardware equivalent of a spanned volume, this has all the failings of any spanning scheme.

The failure of any one disk will result in catastrophic data failure. Figure F Set a quota for an individual user or a group. Figure H All partitions and volumes should show a status of Healthy. Editor's Picks. The best programming languages to learn in Check for Log4j vulnerabilities with this simple-to-use script. TasksBoard is the kanban interface for Google Tasks you've been waiting for.

Paging Zefram Cochrane: Humans have figured out how to make a warp bubble. Strangely, some employees get to see their directories through their drive associations, but most of the drive is inaccessible givina a "corrupted file" message.

Anyone has had this kind of problem? Is there a way of solving it besides doing a hard format of the drive. Even as we have backups, they will take a huge bunch of time. Did you receive any error when trying to assign a driver letter? If so, please let us know. Is the problematic a file server? Please clarify whether you were indicated that which specific file was corrupted. Which drive letter were you trying to assign? Please try a letter which is different from the previous one.

If the issue persists, please refer to the following information for troubleshooting. Step 1: Check disk. Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the hard disk drive you want to check.

Click Properties, and then click Tools.
