Hey,
i have a hyper V 2019 Server with two hard drives.
I want to format the second hard drive as one partion and give it the Letter D. But it saying the requested access path is already in use. Get-Partition not showing any drive letter D
Watch the Picture below
Why?

Disk number 1 looks like it already has a partition, but not a drive letter. Try using
Get-Partition -DiskNumber 1 -Partition 1 | Set-Partition -NewDriveLetter D
To change the existing partition size, use the Resize-Partition cmdlet.
Nope doesnt worked and i don't think it has partition. i now just used E and worked perfectly don't know why the hell D not working
Perhaps you've used that drive letter for a shared directory? Try the old standby "net use", and also Get-PSDrive to see what drive letters are in use.
It's easy to forget, especially if the used remote resource isn't available any more.
