Disk Management

The Disk Management utility (see Figure 29.2) is responsible for the creation, deletion, alteration, and maintenance of storage volumes in a system. This tool is located within the Computer Management interface of Administrative Tools (accessed through Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management). Another means is by right-clicking My Computer and choosing Manage. Using the Disk Management utility, you also can assign the drive letters used by your CD and hard disk drives.
