in my Lenovo laptop have 120 GB hard disk. when i purchased the system it have windows recovery feature of Windows Vista (Home Basic). then i have created another drive so recovery feature have been lost. this was the think of previous year.
now before one months, i changed drive size and deleted a partition. then a MBR issue was came in my system. and DVD writter are not working.
today, i have installed Windows Vista (Home Basic) using a bootable pendrive.
now DVD writter read some CD's and some CD's show blank which have data. it does not read any DVD.
in Disk Management, it show a drive of 29 GB (show as a Free space in green color) and a size of 11 GB (which may be size of windows recovery feature that has been lost and show with blue color).
when i right click on the free space (that is size of 29 GB) to create a new volume, at the end, it give error:
there is not enough space avaliable on the disk(s) to complete this operation.
i also tried with 28 GB space on this drive but it give same error.
when i right to a volume which have size of 11 GB, following option are enabled. Changed drive letter and path, Format, Delete volume, properties and help. disabled option is: open, explore, Mark partition as active, extend volume, shrink volume.
when i click to format: it show a error- An unexpected error has occured. Check the system Event log for more information on the error. Close the disk management console, then start the disk management or start the computer.
i also tried to create a new volume during windows installation but it give error when i create volume after formatting. i have only format the entire disk. perhaps it would be better option if during installation, i have delete all the volumes and then creates all the volumes with equal sizes of 60 GB to all three volumes. but i was sacred if all the drive deletes and no one be create. beacuse a simple volume is not create during installation, i tried to create a new volume during installation.
presently in My Computer, it show two drive C and D, i want to create one another drive.
now my query is how use the space of 29 GB and 11 GB to create a new volume.
also suggest about DVD writter.
please help.
