Hi:
I have a hard drive (basic, simple disk) with XP & Win7 on it that are setup as primaries (limited turned off) and hidden from each other and an extended partition with a single logical drive as well.
I needed to make the Win7 partition bigger so I shrunk the logical drive (F:), shrunk the extended partition, did a slide operation to move it down.
Side note: originally there was 8 MB unallocated between the Win7 & extended partitions and when I slid the ext. partition down it combined the free space from that with that 8 MB.
I then expanded the Win7 partition by the full amount of free space.
When I boot into Win7 at first it had a drive letter on F: but within a couple of minutes it disappeared. I have not booted XP.
Disk Management shows the partition however I can't do anything with it - it won't let me assign a drive letter or check the properties of it. I get this error:
The operation failed to complete because the Disk Management console view is not up-to-date. Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists close Disk Management, then restart Disk Management or restart the computer.
It does have the "Logical drive" color bar on it.
How do I fix this?
Another side note: I know BING has been superseded BIBM and I purchased BIBM but I haven't gotten around to installing it.
Thanks!
