    QUARTER 3–WEEK 4: DISK MANAGEMENT

    Name of Learner: ________________________________________ Date: __________________________


    Grade & Section: ________________________________________ Teacher: _______________________

    MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCY (MELC): 4.2 Carry out variation to application
    software in accordance to customer/ client requirements.
    Code: TLE_IACSS9-12ICCS-IIIa-e-31

    Objectives:
    1. Identify the features and functions of Windows disk management software.
    2. Learn how to perform basic disk management on your pc.
    3. Develop the student’s decision-making skills by challenging the student’s thinking skills
    on why and when to perform disk management protocols.

    TEACH ME
    Learning Task 1:
    Disk Management is an essential part of your operating system to assure the proper
    functioning and maintenance of the disk drives present in your PC. We need to be aware of this to
    maximize the capability of our computers. Let us start exploring these disk management tools.
    In picture below, how many drives are present?
    Answer: _______________________
    What are the drive letters presented?
    Answer: _______________________

    Learning Task 2:
    Disk management focuses on the advanced storage task in Windows Operating System. It
    enables users to manage the disk drives (and the different partitions) installed in their personal
    computers. It was first introduced in Windows XP as a substitute for the fdisk command. Now it is
    applied to several Windows OS like:
    1. Windows 10
    2. Windows 8.1
    3. Windows 7
    4. Windows Server (Semi-Annual Channel)
    5. Windows Server 2019
    6. Windows Server 2016
    7. Windows Server 2012 R2
    8. Windows Server 2012
    Disk management can be used in several ways in your PC such as initializing a new drive,
    extending a basic volume, shrinking a basic volume, and changing a drive letter.
    Here are some ways on how to open disk management in your PC.
    1. Use Windows+R to open Run, type diskmgmt.msc in the empty box, and tap “OK”.

    2. Right-click the Start button and choose “Disk Management” on the left.

    Page | 1
    3. Type disk management in the search box on the taskbar.
    Extend a basic volume
    You can use Disk Management to add space to an existing volume, extending it into empty
    space on the drive, but only if the empty space doesn't have a volume on it (it's unallocated) and
    comes immediately after the volume you want to extend, with no other volumes in-between, as shown
    in the following image. The volume to extend also must be formatted with the NTFS or ReFS file
    systems.

    Shrink a basic volume


    You can decrease the space used by primary partitions and logical
    drives by shrinking them into adjacent, contiguous space on the same
    disk. For example, if you discover that you need an additional partition
    but do not have additional disks, you can shrink the existing partition
    from the end of the volume to create new unallocated space that can then
    be used for a new partition.
    Change a Drive Letter
    If you wish to change the letter of the drive in
    your PC, you can do it with the disk
    management function. Just beware that if you
    change the drive letter wherein the Windows
    OS or apps are installed, it might have trouble running or finding the drive.
    In this case, it is not suggested to change the drive letter where the OS is
    installed.
    This is the process of changing drive letters.
    1. Open Disk Management with administrator permission.
    2. Right-click the volume for which you want to change or add a drive
    letter.
    3. Select Change Drive Letter and Paths.
    4. Follow the instructions provided.
    Aside from the said function of disk management, there are common tasks you might want to
    do in relation to disk management and maintenance.
    1. Disk Cleanup - It allows users to remove files that are no longer needed or that can be safely
    deleted.
    2. Disk Defragmentation - the process of consolidating fragmented files on the user's hard drive by
    which it breaks the data apart so that it will fit into available space.
    3. Make multiple hard drives and pool them together, like a RAID.
    There is also disk management software available online for download which extends the
    capability of the default windows disk management. Below are the examples of other available
    software online.
    1. EaseUS Free Partition Manager
    2. Macrorit Disk Partition Expert
    3. Paragon Partition Manager
    4. AOMEI Partition Assistant
    5. MiniTool Partition Wizard
    6. Gparted
    7. Cute Partition Manager
    8. Active Partition Manager
    Some of the extended features of these software are merge partitions, migrate OS to SSD/HDD,
    recover lost partition, and copy disk partition.
