The operation failed to complete because theDisk Management console

masterpradipg · 14 Oct 2014

guys I have a serious problem ... I have 4 primary partition 1.system reserved 2.C 3.D 4.E
first three partition r are shown by file manager and last one is only shown in disk management ... when I tried to assign a drive letter it gives error message" The operation failed to complete because the
Disk Management console view is not up-to-date.
Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the
problem persists close the disk Management console,
then restart Disk Manangement or restart " .... disk part is also not showing that drive or volume so that I couldn't assign any letter to it ....
The problem is with internal hard disk not with external or usb disk ...... probably problem is caused when I installed Windows 10 technical preview alone with I install partition magic which suggests to check errors of drives and I press OK ..... also at the same time have installed wimax usb driver ..... also at the same time I was having some unallocated space and I extended size of c drive by that unallocated space and after that when I opened my computer my drived was not there ......

Even I reformatted and at the time of installation that that very hidden drive was not shown ..... even with Ubuntu live cd I am unable to mount ......
Plz suggest ...... I need that data drive at any cost

Post a snapshot of a fullscreen Disk Management Window:
To open Disk Management, press Windows key+r, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter or click GO. Make it full screen. Expand the fields as necessary so everything can be seen.

It would be helpful if we could see the entire Disk Management. The tutorial does show how that is done.

what do u mean by entire disk management ???

That means you haven't read the tutorial properly. :)

Click on the "Show/Hide Console Tree" and "Show/Hide Action Pane" buttons in tool bar on top to hide those. That will give you a full screen of Windows Disk Management without any truncation.

This has been indicated in the tutorial.

Do it and you will know what he means.:)

What I see is 3 primary partitions and a empty partition without a drive letter.
E is full and in that condition you won't be able to do much with that except extend it to the right.
What is on E?

Now in exact terms could you tell us what you are trying to do.

any ways thanks to everyone
my problem solved by EASYUS partition recover wizard ... but I don't think windows can solved this sorts of problem when the problem is created by third party software or power failure. ...windows can deleted and recreate partition but cannot save data .. if we want our precious data back we need to use third-party software like easeus or any other ....
