Re: [orca-list] Accessible Disk Partition Managers

Daniel,
Sounds like it used up the GUID partition.
So maybe it was there anyway, because that is about the size GUID allocates 
for boot managers.

Hi Didier

Correct, but in creating the partition and it accidentally moving to the 
left of C drive, I don't know of a way to reclaim that disk space.

This is what I want to learn just in case.


for the obvious reason, that I'll know what to do in the event of any 
future accidents in disk partitioning and reclaiming un allocated  space 
back into one full C drive again. On 18 Feb 2021, at 22:31, Didier Spaier

Hi Daniel,

You want is to make room for Linux in Windows, right?

If yes I have written instructions here:

http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/doc/New_Installer/Doc_in_the_installer/FreeSpace

They are intended for folks wanting to install Slint alongside Windows 
but
should work for any other Linux.

Best regards
Didier

Hi all
Thought I would explain what happened then look for your suggestions.
In it's simplest form,  I created a 50MB partition, Thinking the size was 
50GB for linux. However, the 50MB went to the left of the C drive.  Using 
the windows 10 disk management tool. If it had moved to the right of C, I 
think I would be able to of successfully reclaimed the disk space and 
expand it back into C. However, since the win10 disk management app has 
this limitation here, I'm seeking an accessible windows programme, that 
can see its to the left of the c drive or anywhere on the disk and expand 
it back into one big drive again.
Who would of thought disk partitioning was so complicated!

fdisk works like a charm, and is almost as if they made it for
accessibility.  Well, I guess they did, as they made it to be run
remotely as well.

I recommend cgdisk with its option -a (as in "accessibilty")
as indicated in its man page gor GPT partition tables.

I've never had luck using gParted with Ubuntu, but I use disks in
Accessories I think.
I also use Parted and fdisk in the terminal.

I’ve had pretty good success with Gparted. that one is included on the
live
Ubuntu  image.

Hello all


Wondering if anyone could recommend any Disk Partition Managers that 
are
accessible to screen readers? I don't mind buying if it is 
accessible.


I know that there is the default Win10 Disk Manager. However, as I 
have
discovered, it has limitations which I have consequently found out, 
hence
looking for a third-party app to address my issue.


Many thanks in advance for your recommendations.


Regards


Daniel
