Incorrect Disk Space Available in Windows Server

Sometimes SolusVM fails to provision a Windows VPS properly resulting in incorrect disk space being reported. This usually is caused by the user attempting to boot the VPS before the hard drive is completely ready. In some cases, this is simply because the template doesn't support resizing (SolusVM limitation). Luckily, it is easy to correct this issue.

  1. Login as Administrator via RDP or VNC
  2. Open PowerShell
  3. Run the command > diskpart
  4. Once diskpart starts, type the command DISKPART> list volume
  5. Note the number of the volume that is not being reported correctly then run the command (replacing the # with the number of the volume) DISKPART > select volume #
  6. Next, run the command DISKPART > extend filesystem

That's it, your disk space should now be reported back to you correctly. If you have My Computer open, you may need to refresh the screen to see the proper size.
