Cannot initalise new vm - HyperV core

Question

I'm hoping you may be able to help.
Whilst trying to start a new VM on my lab system, I am getting the "Could not initialize memory, not enough disk space" message when I try and use a new drive to store the hard drive for the OS.
This new drive is a logical partition. It seems to function fine within the usual windows tools, can be browsed, appears in disk manager, etc.
I've assigned Full permissions to "NT VIRTUAL MACHINE\Virtual Machines" and "BUILTIN\Hyper-V Administrators"
The machine creates fine, as do the VHDX files and their permissions seem to match existing machines.
I repeated the same process on a pre-existing logical drive and the machine starts fine.
I've checked memory on the server and it's only 10% used, so it doesn't seem to be the RDP memory problem and the .bin file is created when I start the machine up.
I'm thinking there's something I missed when I created the disk. To do this, I used diskpart in HyperV Server Core command prompt having selected the required disk...
1) create partition logical size=X
2) assign letter = K
3) format fs=ntfs quick
then...
icacls k: /grant "nt virtual.....":(OI)(CI)F
Am I missing something obvious? It does seem specific to the disk.

Hi,
I don’t fond the error you descripted, if you want to move the vm location, you can use the Hyper-V manager:
Right click the vm -> move the virtual machine’s storage->specific the new location.
Or export the vm to the new location, You can refer the following article for the detail export steps:
