    Right click on "Computer". Select "Manage". Navigate to "Disk Management".

    EDIT - You typed the wrong command that's why.

    You are typing it wrong, that is your problem. It is diskmgmt.msc. Simple typo is all.

    Note: In prior posts the Registry Key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
    was posted. You need to look in all versions of that key just to be sure:

    Check:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\StorageDevicePolicies
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet003\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

    Just to make sure.
