Относится к: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Server (Semi-Annual Channel), Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 Applies To: Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows Server (Semi-Annual Channel), Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012

Управление дисками — это системная служебная программа Windows, дающая возможность выполнять дополнительные задачи хранилища. Disk Management is a system utility in Windows that enables you to perform advanced storage tasks. Ниже приведены некоторые задачи, которые хорошо подходят для управления дисками. Here are some of the things Disk Management is good for:

  • Чтобы настроить новый диск, см. раздел Инициализация нового диска. To setup a new drive, see Initializing a new drive.
  • Чтобы расширить том в пространство, которое пока не является частью тома на том же диске, см. раздел Расширение базового тома. To extend a volume into space that’s not already part of a volume on the same drive, see Extend a basic volume.
  • Чтобы сжать раздел (обычно для того, чтобы расширить соседний), см. раздел Сжатие базового тома. To shrink a partition, usually so that you can extend a neighboring partition, see Shrink a basic volume.
  • Чтобы изменить или назначить букву диска, см. раздел Изменение буквы диска. To change a drive letter or assign a new drive letter, see Change a drive letter.

Если отобразится сообщение об ошибке или что-то не сработает при выполнении этих процедур, рекомендуем заглянуть в раздел Устранение неполадок при управлении дисками. If you get an error or something doesn’t work when following these procedures, take a peek at the Troubleshooting Disk Management topic. Если и это не поможет, сохраняйте спокойствие! If that doesn’t help — don’t panic! Есть множество сведений на сайте сообщества Майкрософт: попробуйте поиск в разделе Файлы, папки и хранилища; если вам по-прежнему нужна помощь, опубликуйте там вопрос и Майкрософт или другие члены сообщества попытаются вам помочь. There’s a ton of info on the Microsoft community site — try searching the Files, folders, and storage section, and if you still need help, post a question there and Microsoft or other members of the community will try to help. Если у вас есть отзыв о том, как улучшить эти разделы, мы будем рады узнать ваше мнение! If you have feedback on how to improve these topics, we’d love to hear from you! Просто ответьте на запрос Помогла ли вам эта страница? , оставив свои комментарии на открывшейся странице или в открытой цепочке комментариев в нижней части этого раздела. Just answer the Is this page helpful? prompt, and leave any comments there or in the public comments thread at the bottom of this topic.

Ниже приведены некоторые распространенные задачи, которые можно выполнить с помощью других средств в Windows. Here are some common tasks you might want to do but that use other tools in Windows:

  • Чтобы освободить место на диске, см. раздел Освобождение места на диске в Windows 10. To free up disk space, see Free up drive space in Windows 10.
  • Чтобы провести дефрагментацию дисков, см. раздел Дефрагментация компьютера с Windows 10. To defragment your drives, see Defragment your Windows 10 PC.
  • Чтобы объединить несколько жестких дисков аналогично RAID, см. раздел Дисковые пространства. To take multiple hard drives and pool them together, similar to a RAID, see Storage Spaces.

О дополнительных разделах восстановления About those extra recovery partitions

Если вам интересно (мы прочитали ваши комментарии!), Windows обычно включает три раздела на основном диске (обычно это диск C): In case you’re curious (we’ve read your comments!), Windows typically includes three partitions on your main drive (usually the C:\ drive):

  • Системный раздел EFI — на современных ПК используется для запуска (загрузки) компьютера и операционной системы. EFI system partition — This is used by modern PCs to start (boot) your PC and your operating system.
  • Диск операционной системы Windows (C:) — здесь установлена система Windows и обычно размещены остальные приложения и файлы. Windows operating system drive (C:) — This is where Windows is installed, and usually where you put the rest of your apps and files.
  • Раздел восстановления — служит для хранения специальных средств восстановления Windows, если возникают проблемы с запуском или чем-то еще. Recovery partition — This is where special tools are stored to help you recover Windows in case it has trouble starting or runs into other serious issues.

Несмотря на то что управление дисками может показывать системный раздел EFI и раздел восстановления как свободные на 100 %, это не точно. Although Disk Management might show the EFI system partition and the recovery partition as 100% free, it’s lying. Эти разделы обычно заполнены действительно важными файлами, которые нужны для правильной работы компьютера. These partitions are generally pretty full with really important files your PC needs to operate properly. Лучше всего оставить их в покое, чтобы вы могли запускать ПК и восстановить его в случае проблем. It’s best to just leave them alone to do their jobs starting your PC and helping you recover from problems.

DiskConfiguration

DiskConfiguration contains the settings that Windows uses to partition and to configure one or more physical hard disks.

Valid disk partition configurations vary depending on whether you are using a BIOS-based computer or a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)-based computer. For more information, see the Manage Hard Disks and Partitions topic in the WindowsВ Assessment and Deployment Kit (WindowsВ ADK) Technical Reference.

You can configure disk partitions manually in the disk configuration user interface (UI) in Windows Setup, or automatically by using settings in the Disk element. If you do not specify a Disk element and the WillShowUI setting is set to Never, Windows logs an error, and the installation terminates.

Child Elements

Setting Description
DisableEncryptedDiskProvisioning Specifies whether Windows activates encryption on blank drives that are capable of hardware-based encryption.
Disk Specifies the disk configurations to apply to a disk on the destination computer.
WillShowUI Specifies whether to show the disk configuration UI in Windows Setup.

The following XML output for the DiskConfiguration setting shows how to specify that you will configure disk partitions manually through the disk configuration UI in Windows Setup:

Создание установочного носителя для Windows

Вы можете использовать установочный носитель (USB-устройство флэш-памяти или DVD-диск) для установки новой копии Windows, выполнения чистой установки или переустановки Windows 10.

Чтобы создать установочный носитель, перейдите на веб-сайт скачивания ПО, где вы найдете пошаговые инструкции. На этом веб-сайте вы можете выбрать версию Windows и создать собственный установочный носитель с помощью USB-устройства флэш-памяти или DVD-диска. Чтобы перейти непосредственно к одной из версий, выберите одну из следующих ссылок:

Windows 10 (Затем выберите Скачать средство сейчас.)

Важно: Создайте резервную копию файлов перед установкой и переустановкой Windows на компьютере. Узнайте, как это сделать для Windows 10 или для Windows 7 и Windows 8.1.

Чтобы создать установочный носитель, необходимо следующее:

Компьютер с надежным подключением к Интернету. Время скачивания зависит от скорости подключения к Интернету.

USB-устройство флэш-памяти или DVD-диск. Необходимо пустое USB-устройство флэш-памяти с 8 ГБ свободного места или пустой DVD-диск (и устройство записи DVD). Рекомендуем использовать чистый носитель, поскольку все его содержимое будет удалено. Если при записи DVD-диска из ISO-файла отображается сообщение о том, что файл образа диска слишком большой, необходимо использовать DVD-носитель с двумя слоями (DL).

Ключ продукта. 25-значный ключ продукта (не требуется для цифровых лицензий). Если вам требуется помощь, см. раздел Как найти ключ продукта Windows.

После создания установочного носителя вы можете сбросить или переустановить Windows. Дополнительные сведения см. в разделе Параметры восстановления в Windows 10.

Windows Setup: Installing using the MBR or GPT partition style

When installing Windows on UEFI-based PCs using Windows Setup, your hard drive partition style must be set up to support either UEFI mode or legacy BIOS-compatibility mode.

For example, if you receive the error message: “Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is not of the GPT partition style”, it’s because your PC is booted in UEFI mode, but your hard drive is not configured for UEFI mode. You’ve got a few options:

Reboot the PC in legacy BIOS-compatibility mode. This option lets you keep the existing partition style. For more info, see Boot to UEFI Mode or Legacy BIOS mode.

Configure your drive for UEFI by using the GPT partition style. This option lets you use the PC’s UEFI firmware features.

You can preserve your data and convert the drive using the MBR2GPT tool. You can also choose to reformat the drive using the instructions below. Reformatting will erase all the data on the drive.

Why should I convert my drive?

Many PCs now include the ability to use the UEFI version of BIOS, which can speed up boot and shutdown times and can provide additional security advantages. To boot your PC in UEFI mode, you’ll need to use a drive formatted using the GPT drive format.

Many PCs are ready to use UEFI, but include a compatibility support module (CSM) that is set up to use the legacy version of BIOS. This version of BIOS was developed in the 1970s and provides compatibility to a variety of older equipment and network configurations, and requires a drive that uses the MBR drive format.

However, the basic MBR drive format does not support drives over 4TB. It’s also difficult to set up more than four partitions. The GPT drive format lets you set up drives that are larger than 4 terabytes (TB), and lets you easily set up as many partitions as you need.

Reformatting the drive using a different partition style

To wipe and convert the drive by using Windows Setup

Turn off the PC, and put in the Windows installation DVD or USB key.

Boot the PC to the DVD or USB key in UEFI mode. For more info, see Boot to UEFI Mode or Legacy BIOS mode.

When choosing an installation type, select Custom.

On the Where do you want to install Windows? screen, select each of the partitions on the drive, and select Delete. The drive will show a single area of unallocated space.

Select the unallocated space and click Next. Windows detects that the PC was booted into UEFI mode, and reformats the drive using the GPT drive format, and begins the installation.

To manually wipe a drive and convert it to GPT:

Turn off the PC, and put in the Windows installation DVD or USB key.

Boot the PC to the DVD or USB key in UEFI mode. For more info, see Boot to UEFI Mode or Legacy BIOS mode.

From inside Windows Setup, press Shift+F10 to open a command prompt window.

Open the diskpart tool:

Identify the drive to reformat:

Select the drive, and reformat it:

Close the command prompt window.

Continue the Windows Setup installation.

When choosing an installation type, select Custom. The drive will appear as a single area of unallocated space.

Select the unallocated space and click Next. Windows begins the installation.

Make sure Windows Setup boots to the correct firmware mode

To automate this process, you’ll need to run Windows Setup through Windows PE, and use a script to detect which mode you’re in before installing Windows. For more info, see WinPE: Boot in UEFI or legacy BIOS mode.

Boot Disk – Guide for Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10

This guide is about boot (or startup) disks for the following Windows versions: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 or 10.

What is a boot disk

A boot disk (or a startup disk) is a recovery media (CD, DVD or floppy disk for older Windows versions) that you can use to start Windows, if it became damaged or corrupted somehow.

The term “boot disk” was mostly used in connection with Windows XP (and older versions) and, in some cases, with Windows Vista. For Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 the “boot disk” term is mostly replaced with the term “recovery disk” (sometimes also named as a “repair disk” or “restore disk”).

NeoSmart Technologies has extensive guides on how to create recovery media for all major PC manufacturers that have their own software for recovery procedures and a recovery disk for all Windows versions (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10).

If you have a computer from any of the following manufacturers, read that guide too. Most PC manufacturers with computers that have Windows installed also have a recovery partition that you can make use of to restore or repair your computer. Some older models had only a recovery disk (as a CD, DVD etc.) or only the recovery partition.

Our list of recovery media guides for specific PC manufacturers: Dell (including the guide on the recovery partition), Acer, Asus, Gateway, Toshiba, HP, Lenovo.

A boot or startup disk is not an installation disk! You can not use a boot disk to install Windows. To install Windows, use your original Windows installation disk.

You can use the following formats to create a disk:

  • CD or diskette (floppy disk) for Windows XP
  • CD or DVD for Windows Vista
  • CD or DVD for Windows 7
  • CD or DVD or USB for Windows 8
  • USB for Windows 8.1 or Windows 10

Once you have the diskette created, follow these instructions to use it when you need it:

  1. Make sure the disk is in write-protect mode
  2. Insert the disk in the floppy disk
  3. Restart your computer
  4. Follow the instructions on the screen as you boot the system from the diskette

You can also create a set of setup/boot disks that will allow you to bypass the need for a bootable CD-ROM (and then continue a reinstallation of Windows XP) by following these instructions:

  1. Download the setup program file for the Windows XP you have installed:
    • Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2
    • Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2
  2. Extract the files
  3. Type the drive where your floppy disks is – example: A: – and hit Enter when you receive this message:
  4. Insert the first blank disk in the floppy drive when you receive this message:
  5. Continue with the process until all 6 disks are created
  6. Boot from the first created diskette. Make sure you have the installation CD at hand to be used during a reinstallation process.

Create boot disk for Windows Vista

If you already have the Windows Vista installation disk, you can use it to recover or restore your computer.

If not, go to the Create the disk section instructions to learn how you can create the disk (read Prerequisites before).

If you don’t have the installation disk and can’t boot into Windows, go to Download boot disk and use Easy Recovery Essentials’ Automated Repair function to fix boot errors automatically.

If you want to create a boot disk, follow the instructions from Prerequisites and then the Create the disk instructions.

Prerequisites

You must verify what version of Windows Vista you have before you create the boot or startup disk. If you have any Service Packs installed, you need the recdisc.exe file from the System32 folder to be from a Windows Vista system without any Service Packs (SP) installed.

To verify this, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel
  2. Click on System
  3. Go to the System type section
  4. Check if you run a “32-bit” Windows Vista or a “64-bit” Windows Vista

Windows Vista System Type

The Windows Vista – Windows Edition section

If you have the Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed, you need to replace the recdisc.exe file.

Your Windows Vista has SP1 or SP2 installed only if it’s mentioned in the Windows edition section, above the “System type” section.

If you have a Service Pack installed, follow these steps to replace the recdisc.exe file before you continue with the Create the disk section steps:

  1. Copy an original recdisc.exe file from a Windows Vista without SP. This file will be replaced with your current recdisc.exe.
  2. Copy this file to your Desktop
  3. Right-click on the file > Properties
  4. Go to the General tab
  5. Click Unblock. If this option – Unblock – doesn’t exist in the General tab, skip this step.
  6. Click OK
  7. Go to C:\Windows\System32\ (from My Computer > C:\ > Windows > System32)
  8. Find the recdisc.exe file from this folder
  9. Make sure you have permissions to make modifications to this file. Right-click on this file > Properties
  10. To have a backup of your original recdisc.exe file, rename it to recdisc.exe.backup or similar
  11. Go to the copied recdisc.exe file and copy it (Right-click > Copy)
  12. Paste it in the System32 folder, to overwrite your current recdisc.exe file
  13. If you didn’t renamed the original file, confirm that you want to replace it (click Copy and Replace, when prompted)

Once these steps have been completed, move to Create the disk below to create the boot/startup disk for Windows Vista.

Creating a boot disk

Please read Prerequisites above before continuing with these instructions.

These steps allow you to create the boot or startup disk (a recovery media) for Windows Vista that you can use in emergency cases.

  1. At Start, type recdisc.exe in the search field
  2. When the search results appears, click on the top result item
  3. Insert a blank DVD in the disk tray. You can use CDs or DVDs for this
  4. Select the disk drive from the “Drive:” list
  5. Click Create disc. If after clicking Create disc, the system shows a message about the installation disk – Insert Windows installation disc – you need the original installation disk as your version of Windows Vista is missing the necessary files to continue with the process.

    Create boot disk for Windows 8/8.1/10

    In Windows 8 or 8.1, you can refresh, reset or restore your computer. These three actions have different outcomes:

    • Refresh will not affect your files. Windows 8/8.1 will reinstall any applications you installed and create a copy of these applications on your desktop. Even so, backup your data before you do a refresh.
    • Reset will remove all your personal files and delete any settings or configuration you did on your computer.
    • Restore will restore your computer to an earlier point in time, if System Restore is available and enabled.By default, Windows 8/8.1 creates restore points whenever you install new applications or do Windows updates. If you haven’t disabled System Restore, restoring your computer via this utility should work.

    If you want to create the boot disk, find the instructions below:

    • If you have Windows 8, not 8.1, follow Create the disk as a CD/DVD
    • If you have Windows 8.1, not 8.0, follow Create the disk as a USB drive. For Windows 8.1 you can only use USB drivers to create the disk.
