Hello

I'm currently studying the 70-290 MS press book, and the exercise i'm stuck on is exercise 1: creating a partition using the disk management snap-in in chapter 11. The problem is that when it tells me to right-click the unallocated disk space on disk0 and choose New Partition, I don't see "New Partition" anywhwere. Has anybody had the same problem?

thanks

I might be off here but you are using xp pro aren't you?

 

Nope windows server 2003

 

even stranger then. Not sure why you can't get it to work

 

Do you have some unallocated space to use? The disk should have a black bar at the top and say unallocated I believe.

 

Just installed 2003 server to look at this

I have added a second disk to the VM, so ignore that, but as you can see, I have already partitioned half of it and if I right click on the unallocated space, the new partition option is there

 

I know what I did wrong, I forgot to save 1 gb of space when I was partioning during 2003 setup at the beginning of the book. So all I did was just add another drive.

Thanks for your help guys!
