Managing Disks on a Windows 2000 System
5. Select the Disk Management folder. If the size of the window is
small, you might want to click the Maximize button in the upper
right corner of the window.
6. Look at Disk 0 and Disk 1 in the Graphics pane.
The graphical
information in the
Graphics pane is shown
in text format in the
Text pane.
The Text pane defines each section of Disk 0 as a volume with an
assigned letter (commonly referred to as a partition). The Graphics
pane shows Partition C on Disk 0 with a blue stripe across the top,
defining it as a Primary partition and as a 2-GB FAT file system.
The partition also shows the status of the partition as Healthy and
that it is the System (or Boot) disk drive.
The remaining section
of your Disk 0 might
not be partitioned. You
should partition all
unallocated disk drives
or unallocated portions
of disk drives.
The remaining portion of Disk 0 contains:
- A Primary partition labeled E
- An NTFS file system
- A Healthy partition with a Page File on the partition
Disk 1 has a black stripe across the top, defining it as an
Unallocated partition with no file system. Since the disk is
unallocated (not partitioned), there is no status.
Any unallocated space should be partitioned and formatted for
use.
