Recovering Unallocated and Locked Hard Drive Volumes (Win7 and XP tools). Nothing to download, using only Windows 7/XP tools. It's a simple process; you launch the DIsk Management Utility, right-click the volume and create a new one. This doesn't always work. Sometimes volumes can be locked for secure boots and system files. In these instances you need a windows utility named 'diskpart' and a couple of commands. Namely; list volume, select volume and delete volume. There are more commands, but these should be enough without getting too complicated.

  10. Help my ssd partition deletes just a bit afterwards
  11. I found my old PC and wanted to see what files I had in the HDD just for a nostalgia trip. The old PC doesn't work and I plugged in the old HDD inside it into my current computer. But I need to format it to be able to use it. I want to see what files are in it first before reformatting. Any idea what to do? My current PC (Win10) tells me to allocate the HDD, but that will format it.
    P.S. This old HDD is not the main HDD in the old computer so it doesn't have Windows installed on it. It is the secondary HDD used for family files, old programs and what not.
    P.P.S. The old computer had Win XP in its main HDD- which I have formatted it already
    Cheers.
