Task-2: Using Disk Management on a Virtual Machine

In a project in Chapter 12, you used Client Hyper-V software to install Windows on a virtual machine. Use this VM to practice using Disk Management. Do the following:

Open Hyper-V Manager, but do not open the virtual machine.

With the virtual machine selected, click Settings. Use the Settings box to add a new hard drive to the VM: Click IDe Controller 0 in the left pane, click Hard Drive in the right pane and then click Add. The Settings box to add a hard drive appears (see Figure in Chapter 13 (13-52)). With Virtual hard disk selected, click New.

The New Virtual Hard Disk Wizard starts. Use these values: Leave all other settings at their default values. Click Finish to create the virtual hard drive. The wizard closes.

For the format type, select VHDX.

For the type of virtual hard drive, select dynamically expanding.

Name the virtual hard drive: HDD2.

To specify the location of the virtual hard drive, click Browse and point to the same folder where the VM is stored.

In the Settings box, click Apply to save your changes. Close the Settings box.

Startup the VM, sign in to Windows 10 and open Disk Management.

Use Disk Management to initialize the new disk and partition it. Create two partitions on the disk: one formatted using the NTFS file system and one using the FAT32 file system.

View the new volumes using File Explorer.

Create and save a snip of your screen showing the virtual machine with the new volumes created. Save the snip and attach it in the word file as a part of your response.
