Disk Management
A graphical tool in the Microsoft Windows operating system that enables the user to manage disks. The tool offers the following
functions:
- Performing online administrative tasks without shutting down the system or interrupting other users. For example, a user can
create, extend, or mirror a logical drive without restarting the system. The user also can add disks without restarting the
system. Most configuration changes take effect almost immediately. The user does not need to save or commit changes before
the changes take effect.
- Managing any remote Microsoft Windows computer if the user is a member of the Administrators or Server Operators group.
- Accessing shortcut menus that show the user which tasks can be performed on a selected object. Wizards guide the user through
the tasks, such as creating partitions and logical drives and upgrading disks.
