你们都看到了，当您打开文件资源管理器(File Explorer)时，那里有很多可用的文件夹，例如Windows (C:)、Recovery (D:)、New Volume (E:)、New Volume (F:) 等等。您有没有想过，所有这些文件夹是否会自动在 PC 或笔记本电脑中可用，或者是有人创建的。所有这些文件夹有什么用？您可以删除这些文件夹或对它们或它们的编号进行任何更改吗？
以上所有问题都将在下面的文章中得到答案。让我们看看这些文件夹是什么以及谁在管理它们？所有这些文件夹、它们的信息、它们的管理都由一个名为Disk Management的(Disk Management)Microsoft实用程序处理。
什么是磁盘管理？(What is Disk Management?)
磁盘管理(Disk Management)是一个Microsoft Windows实用程序，允许全面管理基于磁盘的硬件。它最初是在Windows XP中引入的，是Microsoft 管理控制台(Microsoft Management Console)的扩展。它使用户能够查看和管理安装在您的 PC 或笔记本电脑中的磁盘驱动器，例如硬盘驱动器（内部(Internal)和外部(External)）、光盘驱动器、闪存驱动器以及与其关联的分区。磁盘管理(Disk Management)用于格式化驱动器、分区硬盘驱动器、为驱动器分配不同的名称、更改驱动器号以及许多其他与磁盘相关的任务。
磁盘管理(Disk Management)现在在所有Windows中都可用，即Windows XP、Windows Vista、Windows 7、Windows 8、Windows 10。虽然它在所有Windows操作系统中都可用，但磁盘管理在一个(Disk Management)Windows版本之间存在细微差别。
与计算机中可用的其他软件不同，这些软件具有直接从桌面(Desktop)或任务栏(Taskbar)或开始菜单(Start Menu)访问的快捷方式，磁盘管理(Disk Management)没有任何直接从开始菜单(Start Menu)或桌面(Desktop)访问的快捷方式。这是因为它与计算机上所有其他可用软件的程序类型不同。
由于它的快捷方式不可用，并不意味着打开它需要很多时间。打开它花费的时间非常少，即最多几分钟。此外，打开磁盘管理(Disk Management)非常容易。让我们看看如何。

What is Disk Management & How to use it?
You have all seen, when you open File Explorer, lots of folders are avаilable there like Windоws (C:), Recovery (D:), New Volume (E:), New Volume (F:) and more.

What is Disk Management?
Disk Management is a Microsoft Windows utility that allows the full management of disk-based hardware. It was first introduced in Windows XP and is an extension of the Microsoft Management Console. It enables the users to view and manage disk drives installed in your PCs or laptops like hard disk drives (Internal and External), optical disk drives, flash drives, and partitions associated with them. Disk Management is used to format drives, partition hard drives, assign different names to drives, change a letter of drive and many other tasks related to disk.
Disk Management is now available in all Windows, i.e. Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10. Although it is available in all Windows operating systems, Disk Management has small differences from one Windows version to another.
Unlike other software available in computers with shortcuts to access directly from Desktop or Taskbar or Start Menu, Disk Management does not have any shortcut to access directly from Start Menu or Desktop. This is because it is not the same type of programme as all the other software available on a computer.
As its shortcut is not available, it does not mean it takes much time to open it. It takes very less time, i.e. a few minutes at most to open it. Also, it is very easy to open Disk Management. Let’s see how.
