  1. Tasks in Setting Up a Hard Disk • Initialize the disk with a data storage type. • Create partitions or volumes. • Format the disk partition or volume.

  2. Storage Types

  3. Partition Types

  4. Volume Types

  5. Working with Simple Volumes • A simple volume contains disk space from a single disk. • Use Disk Management to create and format a simple volume. • Create simple volumes only on dynamic disks. • Format a simple volume with NTFS, FAT, or FAT32. • Extend a simple volume that is formatted with NTFS.

  6. Working with Spanned Volumes

  7. Working with Striped Volumes

  8. Adding Disks

  9. Changing Storage Types • Upgrade a basic disk at any time with no data loss. • Existing partitions on the basic disk become simple volumes. • Existing striped volume sets become dynamic striped volumes. • Existing spanned volume sets become dynamic spanned volumes. • Disk must contain at least 1 MB of unallocated space.

  10. Upgrading Basic Disks to Dynamic Disks • Open Disk Management. • Right-click the basic disk in the new computer. • Click Upgrade To Dynamic Disk. • When prompted, restart your computer.

  11. Reverting to a Basic Disk • Remove all volumes. • Open Disk Management. • Right-click the dynamic disk. • Click Revert To Basic Disk. • All data is lost.

  12. Disk Properties • Disk: the number for the disk in the system • Type: basic or dynamic storage • Status: the disk is online, offline, foreign, or unknown • Capacity: total capacity for the disk • Unallocated Space: amount of available space

  13. Disk Properties (continued) • Device Type: IDE, SCSI, EIDE, and IDE channel • Hardware Vendor: vendor and disk type • Adapter Name: type of controller • Volumes Contained On This Disk: volumes and total capacity

  14. Volume Properties • General: volume label, type, file system, used and free space • Tools: perform volume error-checking, backup, and defragmentation • Hardware: checks properties of and troubleshoots the physical disks • Sharing: sets network shared volume parameters and permissions • Security: sets NTFS access permissions on NTFS version 4 and 5 volumes • Quota: sets user quotas for NTFS 5 volumes

  15. Refresh • Refresh updates drive letters, file system, and volumes. • Refresh updates removable media information. • Refresh determines if unreadable volumes are now readable.

  16. Rescan Disks • Rescan Disks updates hardware information. • Removable media and CD-ROM drives • Basic volumes and drive letter • File sitemaps • Scans all disks for disk configuration changes.

  17. Managing Disks on Remote Computers • Member of Administrators group or Server Operators group • Exact account and password on both computers in a workgroup • Custom console with Disk Management pointing to the remote computer
