Solution To "Virtual Disk Service error: There is not enough usable space for this operation."
Solution to:
Virtual Disk Service error:
There is not enough usable space for this operation.
In this tutorial, I am trying to create an EFI partition and a primary partition. You may be wanting to do only one of them. In that case, first read and understand what I do and then follow suit. Don't copy paste blindly! :D :)
1. Let's open diskpart. Type:
diskpart
2. Let's select the disk in which we want to create partition. Type:
list disk
sel disk 0
3. Let's try to create a new primary partition
create par primary
4. Whoops, that didn't work. Let's try to create an EFI partition
create par efi
4.1 If you get the error: "MSR and EFI partitions are only supported on GPT disks." That means that the partition table of your Hard Disk is MBR and not GPT, so you can't create an EFI partition. You can still follow the rest of the tutorial to understand the error which brought you to this video :) :)
5. Whoops, even that didn't work. What is common in both cases? Oh yes, we didn't have enough space for either!! Let's shrink some space from one of the existing partitions.
6. Let's see which partition is worth shrinking.
list par
7. As you can see, I have three partitions. I'd like to shrink the one which is the biggest in size.
8. Select the partition that you wish to shrink. It is the 2nd one in my case.
sel par 2
9. We will create two partitions.
9.1 Let's first create the EFI partition of size 200MB
shrink desired = 200 minimum = 200
create par efi size = 200 # This will automatically select the newly created partition.
format fs = fat32
assign letter = B:
9.2 Now, it's time for the primary partition.
9.2.1 Let's select the partition again, which I wanna shrink.
sel par 2
shrink desired = 4096 minimum = 4096 # 4GB
I'll fast forward the waiting :P
create par primary size = 4096
format fs = ntfs
assign letter = Z:
10. That's all folks! :)
