Hey /wsr/ I've run into an issue with my hard drive. For some reason, I can't use almost 350GB of storage. If I try to extend the S drive, it says that there's not enough space on the disk to do so, no matter how little I try to extend it by. I can't make the unallocated space into a new volume, as it claims that the size is less than the minimum, despite the fact that the minimum is only 8MB. I tried wiping the S drive and creating a new volume that would combine them both, and yet the volume that created was just 568GB instead of the 900ish that it said it was going to make.
Any chance that someone knows what to do? I've Googled it, but I couldn't find anything

replying...
you have to format the whole disk... why would you only format S and expect it to work?
if that still doesn't work
try switching your hard drives around physically in your computer, see if it's the SATA cables.
Fuck I feel dumb.
Like, really, really, dumb.
I fixed it (mostly) by converting to a basic disk, and then making two drives. It's not optimal, but it's better.

I did try that, Satan. Even a 10MB drive didn't work

wow
i was talking about yours partitons :)

I figured you meant capping the thread, as it made more sense, since I explained what I did and it didn't really need a picture

XD XD XD XD XD
sorry for not "really helping" you
but i'm happy that was solved the problem
>>14682
So is this thread solved? I'm not OP btw.
>>14687
Mostly, but if someone can give a better answer, then I'll take it. What I've got now is okay, but hardly perfect

Absolute rot.
The whole point of partitions is that you can treat them independently of each other.
You absolutely do not have to "format the whole disk".

How on earth did the disk get three empty "recovery partitons" on it?
Did you, by any chance, start out with the drive S was on, purchase an SSD, copy C onto the SSD, remount the old C as S, and now you have problems?
Dymamic disks use GPT, and GPT:
has a partition table at both ends of the disk
stores the length of the disk in the partition tables
Your symptoms are characteristic of a drive that has GPTs that were copied from another drive.

Thanks a lot, this was the issue (probably, it's working now so that's what I'm going to say did it). I deleted the recovery partition between the O and S drive, and was then able to delete O and extend S to include all the unallocated space.
