The scope is smaller than the smallest possible size
You're encountering a common issue when managing storage partitions. To resolve the "Size of the Extent Is Less than the Minimum" error, you should first check if the partition exists and has enough free space. If it doesn't, consider expanding the existing partition or creating a new one with sufficient capacity. Ensure the drive is properly mounted and that the file system supports unallocated space allocation.
Create a fresh partition or completely erase the drive. After that, consolidate everything into one partition for easier management.
Second, Fasauceome recommended clearing the drive and beginning anew.
In short, I’m not sure what damage you caused to Disk 1... To clarify your issue: Windows Disk Utility isn’t transferring files. You can only expand the first partition by 500MB to free up space next to it. It won’t move data to E:\ or F:. If you need data migration, consider using a third-party disk utility. Personally, I think backing everything up is faster. Remove all partitions, format the drive, and restart. Moving files on a disk carries a risk of losing information, so if your data includes important photos, back it up first. An external backup is always wise—hard drives can fail regardless of brand or model. If you really don’t want to restart, you could try merging the two E: partitions. I’m not sure what you were attempting. It seems like you tried to set up a software RAID (JBOD) but instead ended up deleting partitions in a confusing way. Now the unallocated space should look like this: 500MB + 857.38GB + 652MB. Data should be moved and merged with either E: or F: (unless you want them combined). Remove the small partition between the 646.49GB and 450MB sections. Delete the 450MB section, then 12.47GB, 1.04GB, etc. After cleaning, expand F: or merge it with E:. Rename E:\ to D:\ and F:\ to E:\ so you can see what you’re working with. Remember, changing drive letters affects how programs recognize files—shortcuts, associations, and even uninstallers may break. Update them afterward if needed.
