Question

A technician uses the shrink volume feature of the disk management utility and splits the partition. What must the technician do next in order to make use of the new space?

Answer 1

To make use of the new space after splitting a partition using the shrink volume feature, the technician must allocate the new space to a new partition or extend an existing partition.

Step-by-step explanation:

After using the shrink volume feature of the disk management utility to split the partition, the technician must allocate the new space to a new partition or extend an existing partition to use the new space.

To allocate the new space to a new partition, the technician can create a new simple volume and assign a drive letter to it.

To extend an existing partition, the technician can right-click on the partition and select the 'Extend Volume' option, then follow the on-screen instructions to allocate the new space.
