Question

1. You are trying to create a striped volume on your computer running Windows 10 to improve performance. You confirm that you have enough unallocated disk space on two disks in your computer, but when you right-click an area of unallocated space on one of the disks, your only option is to create a partition. What is the problem and how do you resolve it?

Answer 1

If it is confirmed that there is enough unallocated disk space in the computer, then we need to check whether the disk is dynamic or not. We can create new stripped volume only on dynamic disks. If the disk is dynamic, then an option to create a new stripped volume only shows if there is enough continuous unallocated space behind the C drive.

So, first we need to convert the Basic Disk to a Dynamic Disk. Steps to convert a Basic Disk to a Dynamic Disk are mentioned below.

Steps to convert a Basic Disk to a Dynamic Disk:

Step 1: Open Windows Disk Management.

Step 2: Right Click on the disk you want to convert.

Step 3: Click "Convert to Dynamic Disk" option.

Now, we can add a stripped volume on the computer as the Disks are Dynamic.
