You should end up with something like beneath. You will see that the plate is still unallocated. It is currently evident what we need to do. What’s more, that is to make a new simple volume.
Stage 12: Create a new simple volume.
Right-click on the unallocated space and choose “New Simple Volume”. That ought to raise “New Simple Volume Wizard”.
Stage 13: Follow the Wizard to the end
