  No, you cannot create profile on something other than the system drive. You cannot move the entire profile, but you can move directories in sketch.

• Partition of hard disk on Tecra 8100

  I changed the 12 GB of HARD drive with a 40 GB HARD drive. But I couldn't partition this time. The last time with the help of this forum I had partitioned the 12 GB for use with Win 98 and XP. I think you forgot the procedure to partition the HARD drive. I think it's during the initial data recovery CD installation when asked me to creat partition (if any). This time, I don't see such a request. Please help because without XP a lot of my devices work... no drivers.

• Messed up partitions and hard disks into recovery mode!

  I got the bootmrg is missing an error code.  So then I had to download a http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ vista recovery disk and I then placed this .iso file on my usb drive using http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/.  Here I probably should have simply chosen to restore my system from recovery mode, but I decided to mess around with the partitions.  Now, I don't know what I did to my readers and partitions.  Help, please!

  Hello

  This "Recovery" disc Neosmart is not a recovery disk to put anything back to the factory settings.

  He fact that Startup Repair, restore the system to an earlier date, etc.; It's not not to reinstall Vista.

  "but I decided to mess around with the partitions.  Now, I don't know what I did to my readers and partitions.  Please help! »

  And we have no idea what you did to your partitions either.

  I suggest you reinstall Vista; choice regardless of the method, you can go to the methods provided here.

  Different ways to reinstall Vista:

  There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer (if you have not destroyed it).

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the right sequence of button...

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

• Creating a DVD from HP restore Partition of hard disk

  OK, let's go.  We have three computers in this House.   One is an HP 2004 775th with XP that was suggested be sent to pasture.   I agree to this.  My other computer is a HP Pavilion p6750f with Win 7 Home 2011.  Large computer and has no problem.  I want to keep this PC by business unit and buy a refurbished on ebay as a HP Compaq 8000 with Win 7 Pro 64 bit.  This should be Uncategorized at 10 for Microsoft Windows gives the OK.

  The majority of these 8000 HP on ebay have the disk hard 'original' wiped and reinstalled with new Windows 7 Pro 64-bit software.   Some say that the hard drive has the "restore disk partition hard rule."

  Now the big question.   With original Windows 7 Pro 64-bit clean wiped from the HD and a new install of Win. 7, I'll be able to make a DVD-restore/recovery Partition on the hard drive?

  That question seems to be is "I'll be able to make my own recovery DVDs?"  As shown in This DOCUMENT?  The answer is probably not.  Unless the previous owner includes the recovery of the purchase value.  These units are most likely end the lease to a company, which means that they are erased clean from any software that may have been installed.  The inclusion of an operating system is to facilitate the resale.

• Partition of hard disk for Equium L350 - 10L

  Hello

  I am a new owner of a L350 - 10L. Loading the files from the laptop, I was told that I had run out of space. Investigate a bit more it seems I drive hard havea partitioned. I think that I expect that the "valorisation" of files are stored on the hard drive. But the size of the partition seems a little odd to me. The disc has a pertition to Vista and a called E:\Data being 54.5 GB in size.

  Question - can I safely reformat the hard drive? Should I run the Setup again. This seems a bit odd. Is there a reason for the size of partition?

  Kind regards

  Hello
  I have the same laptop. Download GParted LiveCD and boot inside. Then resize partition D:\ lower then resize the partition above C:\ with unallocated space. Is not wipe your data.

  Hope this helps,

• Trying Windows update for disk other than defult. any thoughts?

  After recently acquiring a computer with only 19 Gig of hard drive, which I compressed and then after a"short of disk space" notice, I realized that the problem was a result of the accumilation of cumlative updates all truths; for example, "security essentials" and "malwarebytes" as well as the slow windows updates "criticism"; as a result, I bought a 16 GB Flash drive. later, I tried to lead all downloads update for the Flash Player (new drive E :) with no results; Moreover, I spent an amount of time incalculatable copy individual updates after that is investigating whether or not they could be later deleted c: subsequently save them on the new drive E) :.

  Then; Is it possible

  ? Alternatively, if I have to learn how to create an operating system that will comply with my desires (probably no more difficult to find a woman who will do the same thing :))?

  Windows Update (automatic updates) will download installers for farmland on the drive with the most free space, but the updates themselves must be installed on the boot drive (usually drive c :)).

  To free up space on the startup disk, see this archived and related discussion in another forum-online http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=33827

• Partition on HARD drive disappeared after formatting using the product recovery disc

  My laptop came with a partitioned hard drive C and D drives.

  After formatting my hard drive using the recovery disk of the supplied product with my computer, I don't have any option to partition the HARD drive, only for the 1. 46 GB for some recommended backup, and the remainder became the C drive.
  D drive disappeared. Now, when I put the USB ant in my laptop, it reads as D drive.
  Can you please help, I need to have my hard drive partitioned into C and D drives, and flash memory can be any subsequent letter.

  Hello Richard

  Is it so complicated to tell us which model of laptop you have exactly?
  Anyway, when you use recovery Toshiba you cannot lose score. After using the recovery media, you'll have to factory settings and the structure of the HARD disk will be the same as on the first day.
  Something like that is definitely not possible.

  > I don't have no option to partition the HARD disk
  This option doesn't exist. On some older models of laptops, just an option to set up the first score ability there.
  After the first start, you can go to disk management and activate the second partition. All that s!

  Please tell me what model of laptop have you then I can tell you more about the partitions.

• Dell XPS 8700 HARD disk partition

  Can someone tell me if the above is partitioned in C and D drives and their size. I currently own a XPS 8100 with 63 GB C (50 GB, BONE) and the 180 GB D drive. It is a great computer, but constantly running out of space on the C drive. It runs Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  Think to update on the 8700 but don't want to go down the same route. Could not get any sense on the Dell sales people.

  Hello

  About partitioning, Dell can't shrink or extend partition as it can end up losing data.

  However guests can use various 3rd party free software as "Partition manager" we relieve 'Partition Master' etc.

  Please search for free partitioning software hard disk in Google, you will find the top free software

  And 8700 XPS machines, the size varies according to the type of hard drive and the configuration you order with the PC.

  Thank you

• Partitions of hard drive on a virtual machine

  Hello

  I have a few questions related to the hard drive on a virtual machine.

  1. is it possible to create multiple hard drive partitions (virtual hard disk, we can add, modify the virtual machine settings) that we have in our PC? In the case the ESX Server and Workstation?

  2. in WMware Workstation by clicking on change settings for virtual machine, I've added an extra IDE drive and allocated 1 GB of space, so now I have two hard drives. I said my virtual machine (Windows XP is the guest operating system), I expected to see the additional drive as "D:", but it was not! What stage is omitted by me?

  Thanks to AdvanceSalahuddin

  1. Yes.  Treat your virtual machine exactly as you would with a physical.

  2. yet once, as you would in a physical installation.  When you add a hard drive, you must go in disk management, select the new drive, create a partition on it and format the partition.

• bad sectors on the hard disk, can't find programs or files

  Has worked on my Toshiba laptop and all of a sudden I got these error messages from Windows on bad sectors, cannot find the files...

  Well, I am unable to find programs or files... well explore works and it seem like windows must work because the computer starts.  I have

  did a scan of spybots and of course we found a few things but that's all.

  I had to start a new user account in order to have access to my hard drive and be able to do some repairs... He showed sound quite complete but unable to show all files or these.

  Tried a restore back a week, but it did not work.  A check on the hard disk and say he can do so that the system is in use.  I have nothing running!

  Don't know what to do next... any suggestions

  Thank you for posting a copy of a report of chkdsk on your C partition select Start, run, type "cmd" without the quotes in the box and press ENTER. Type chkdsk, and then press the ENTER key and a report, stating, among other things, a summary of how disk space is used, is provided. If you want a report on a partition or one drive other than C, you need to go to this partition. To access F, where F is the required partition you type F: and press the ENTER key.

  Copies of the reports from a command prompt can be tricky. Right click and select mark. This allows to highlight the selected text, and then click on copy. You will then open Word, Notepad or similar file, right click and paste. The selected text transfers your Clipboard to open the file. You can paste directly into a response message to the majority of the forums.

• HP Pavilion x 360 11-n010dx (HARD DISK AND RAM)

  Hi, I have the HP Pavilion x 360 11- n010dx and make it sound strange when in set at 90 degrees. as a click clikc click all the time, since the day I understand 5 months ago. to be honest never was a fast computer, as my old vaio run faster than that. I thougth it was for windows 8 and 4 GB of ram. but someone told me that might be you HDD. so, first of all is any chance to fix this disc using HDD regenerator or something similar (I do not), or do a complete restore of the system? (I don't have the box and Bill from best buy so I can't look for support or use the warranty and im from argetntina and I get this pc in the United States). In the case where I need is also a chance to change the disk to an SSHD? or a SSD? in this case, what should I buy? Last, but not least, is a chance to upgrade memory? I know that it is sold to the motherboard. (any remote chance?) If I have to UN sold is not a problem, because I can't use the warranty so... (no invoice, no box).  I have well appreciate a lot your help

  Hi again once I run the complete test of the system hardware, it does not any error on the hard disk. but the clicking sound again. and the still slow computer.

  Whence the noise? It's cooling fans, near vents or on the side of the hard drive? Look at the manual to their approximate positions & identify the area where the sound comes from.

  Are there any overheating, sudden stops, unusually warm air through vents or error messages?

  If there is no hard drive failure, it is unlikely that the cause is due to bad sectors of hard disk or all just bad HARD drive. To confirm the download, run this program free HD Tune - it'll take a few hours to complete.

  You partition the hard disk after you bought the laptop?

  I want to change the HD to an SSHD, because SSDS are much better, but they are very expensive and shorter life. for example, sshd maximun size would be bee 500 GB? I would like to put something bigger, is - it possible?

  SSHD - the listed compatible max is in this config: 2.5 "SATA 7mm (HDD to 500 GB + 8 GB SSD) hybrid (reference HP: 732000-005), there is no other compatible guaranteed.

  I suggest that go you for SSD - there is no problem, I've heard up to now with them. Certainly, they would work at least 10 years (and more than that) with the same performance & in my case (I have 500 GB Samsung SSD Evo 840) time to access and overall performance improves day after day.  If you want more storage, better, you buy an external HARD drive. If you want spectacular performance SSD is my choice, even though I'm not saying that SSHD is bad - but there still turns physical disk which is the main part.

  On the RAM I've already updated the bios, so I think that I'm ready to go for it.

  I check my virus staus and my pc is free, also check windows services and leave only the description, I don't know why is it so long to star upward and run the programs that I know is a modest, but Im pc use only statistical programs, office and that's all...

  To detect & fixing malware, download & install this free tool: MalwareBytes Antimalware

  Update latest version & TICK "Scan rootkits" its settings before starting the scan.

  After the scan, quarantine the detected objects. Restart the system. Yet once, open the Malware Bytes program, go to the history tab in there: remove all quarantined items from there

  Restart the system.

  Open the prompt as administrator, do a SFC SCAN, check if integrity violations are:
  SFC SCAN COMMAND - Option 2

  Then, disable startup programs unnecessary in the Manager of tasks - Option 1

  Restart the system.
