    Exercise 6.1 Creating a Simple Volume


    Overview Thanks to your instruction, Karen now sees the advantage of storing the

    application files. In this exercise, you create a new simple volume on the
    server where the accountants can store their data.

    Exercise 6.2 Extending a Volume


    Overview A few days later, you receive another call from Karen. She has been
    diligently moving the department’s data files to the volume you created for
    her, but she has now run out of disk space. The volume was not big enough!
    To address the problem, you decide to extend the Karen1 volume by using
    some of the unallocated space left on the disk. For this task, you intend to
    use the Diskpart.exe command line utility.

    Exercise 6.5 Removing Volumes


    Overview The Accounting department server currently has five volumes on its disk:
    three primary partitions and one extended partition with two logical drives.
    Karen and her staff have found it difficult to manage their files with so
    many volumes, so she wants to consolidate the disk into just two volumes:
    her original volume, plus one large data volume, which will be a spanned
    volume that uses all of the available space on Disk 0 plus all of the space on
    the second hard disk in the computer.
    Completion time 10 minutes

    Why doesn’t the disk space used by the Karen3 and Karen4
    volumes appear in the Disk Management snap-in as
    Question unallocated?
    13
    Because the space has already been shrunk, so not it is
    just Free space of Disk 0.

    What is the maximum amount of space that you can use to


    extend the Karen1 volume?
    Question
    14 301 MB

    Why can’t you extend the Karen1 volume by using all of the
    remaining space on the disk?
    Question
    15
    Because you can only extend space that is available on a
    logical drive.
