Windows 7: Where is my Partition Drive in the Windows 8 Installation?

NBAPwns13 · 06 Jan 2013

Okay so i clicked custom install and it shows all my drivers. I did a partition on my C drive before doing the installation and when i try to install windows 8 and i want to choose the empty partition unallocated it's not on the screen options?

It only shows C, my Recover, System G, and HP Tools F

How do i make my unallocated show in my windows 8 installation so that i can choose it

Hello NBAPwns,

You'll need to use the tutorial below to create a primary partition with the unallocated space first. Afterwards, it should show up during installation.

Partition or Volume - Create New

Please post back a screenshot of your maximized Disk Management drive map and listings:

1. Type Disk Management in Start

Search box.
2. Open Disk Mgmt. window and maximize it.
3. Type Snipping Tool in Start Search box.
4. Open Snipping Tool, choose Rectangular Snip, click New, draw a box around full drive map and all listings.
5, Save Snip, attach using paper clip in Reply Box.

Tell us what is on each partition.

If you made a partition from 7, why is it unallocated ? Try doing it again, and make sure it`s done right and doesn`t show as unallocated.

Post the screenshot as Greg has asked.
