Adding another disk to expand before storage to win 10 install

I am currently using win 7 pro 64-bit. My C drive is running close to the maximum amount of data storage. I bought another SSD, 2 x the current size. I want to upgrade to Windows 10.

1. can I add the new drive and increase the size of the 'C' startup disk on both drives?

2. otherwise I would add my new c: drive, reinstall win 7 and then somehow move my applications?

3. any other ideas or tips would be helpful

Thank you

This will not work, the installation files are downloaded into C: and you must have enough space to accommodate the installation, at least 16 GB.

2. otherwise I would add my new c: drive, reinstall win 7 and then somehow move my applications?

What I suggest do you, buy a big drive, get an external hard drive, back up your installation of Windows 7 and restore on your new larger hard drive.

  • PERC H330 and Raid 5, try adding another SATA drive raid 5 array

    Hi all

    I have one server PowerEdge T330 with 8 slots of disc and have currently 3 SATA drives running a raid 5 configuration.  I have a virtual disk configured for Raid (must).

    The operating system recognizes the disk and is able to use the resources...

    My desire is to add another hard drive to the table (hard disks of the same size, same brand, etc.) with 4 disks without losing any data.

    I looked in the settings of the iDrac and the only adjustment was to add the new disk as a global hot spare or a hot spare dedicated to the virtual drive.

    I also looked in the BIOS and do not see a way to add the new drive.

    Does anyone know how to increase capacity?  I can blow the virtual drive if necessary and start over without problem.  I intend to gradually accomplish this Act until adding 8 disks. (5 times).

    Help!

    Hello.

    Management controllers RAID and tables is not made in the BIOS iDRAC or systems. For the management of the RAID (virtual disks) arrays, you have OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). If not installed, see the link: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=TK61C once installed, go to-> Storage->-> H330 PERC controllers-> virtual disk--> sub tasks available-> select reconfigure and run-> then check a box to add the fourth disk on the next page. Follow the prompts and allows you to extend your range of RAID 5.

  • Add disks to increase the storage on Cisco UCS BE6K

    Hello Experts,

    We have a Cisco UCSC-C220-M3SBE and we would like to add more disks to increase the storage in VMWare. It would be as simple as buying another compatible HARD disk (like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148711) and placing him in the available slots? I know that I need to increase the storage in VMWare.

    I think of buying 2 TB storage or as much as the server would allow me to get.

    Thank you

    Randy C.

    Hi Rhandelle, in addition to what said Alvaro, yes it is possible increase of the storage volume by adding additional hard disks. It is also possible to extend the current raid volume, but if you don't do this correctly, you can lose your data. I recommend instead is that after you have added the support of hard drives to create a separate RAID with new hard drives and used VMWARE for you extend the data store.

  • Setup removes the junction point NTFS redirect the folder system "\Windows\Installer" on another disk.

    On a computer running Windows XP Professional SP3, I redirected the "\Windows\Installer" system folder, with a junction to a record point in a tree of directories to a different drive.  The operation was conducted and verified using "junction v1.06 - creator of junction point analysis viewer and Windows' published in 2010 by Mark Russinovich. I moved all the files and subdirectories contained in the original "\Windows\Installer' in the target directory (the these files had been previously copied to a temporary directory and after the move, I checked that they were visible in the folder '\Windows\Installer' open the symbolic link with the Explorer).
    Then I launched a system patch, and I discovered that the installation of the update of the software deleted program point junction that I created, deleted all the cache contained in the directory with the name of substitute target different files and recreated the "\Windows\Installer" folder in the original disc.
    I tested this behaviour a couple of times, installing various software and updates, so I assume that it does not depend on the software that is installed but the installation program itself, which cannot handle a point of junction of the folder "install".
    No warning is given before deleting the junction point and all of its contents.  With a similar procedure, I made two points of junction for '\Windows\Downloaded facilities' and '\Windows\Microsoft.NET' and they have exploited properly.
    Out of understanding points do not work on startup, so it is impossible to redirect for example. :

    • \Windows
    • \Windows\System32
    • \Windows\Config

    "\Windows\Installer" isn't one of those cases, and it is not used at startup.

    Is it possible to use a junction point to redirect the \Windows\Installer on another disk/partition folder, or Setup will always delete all the files that have been targeted in the naming of replacement?

  • Question about adding additional disks with voting rights (AIX cluster)

    I maintain a database cluster Oracle 10 g RAC running on AIX servers and I would like to add another disk to vote. I intend to use the following, executed command as root: crsctl add css votedisk device_pathname.

    This command can be performed while the database and cluster services are active, or do I have to stop both before changing the configuration of the cluster?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    as stated in the doc:

    * "" using the - force option while any cluster node is active can corrupt your configuration. "*"

    MetaLink Note 428681.1 (updated Dec 2008) clearly said that the crs must be stop in 10 g on all nodes before making any changes on the drive to vote

  • I want to move the profile data and the addons on another disk

    I want to move the profile data and the addons on another disk.

    Can I specify where Firefox puts the profile and the addons?

    If another location, then Windows uses by default.
    c:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

    WinXP, FF 3.6.8

    You can do this by using the Profile Manager. When you create a new profile, you can specify a location for the profile folder.

    You may create a new profile, and then transfer the data to it. For more information, see create a new profile for Firefox on Windows and transferring data to a new profile.

  • Error setting in the form of CD - RW problem: Windows cannot format this type of disc. Insert another disk and try again.

    Original title: problem formatting CD - RW

    I want to copy some files (word documents) on a CD - RW. I just bought a new box of these discs: Memorex high speed 12 X 800 MB 80 min

    When I put a disc in my d drive, I get the following error message:Windows cannot format this type of disc.  Insert another disk and try again.

    However, I went in the d drive and clicked on delete, just to see if it would work.  It recognizes the disc as a CD - RW, and erased, and said I could now burn files to it.  I tried to copy the files to and and again got the error message.

    If anyone can help me with this problem, I would be very happy!

    Thank you!

    Hi mariec59,

    1 does happen with all disks?
    2. what program you use to burn the disc?

    We recommend you to check if the problem persists with another disc.
    We also recommend to run the troubleshooter for CD/DVD playback and burning. To do this, try the following steps:
    a. see play CD/DVD and burning issues.
    b. click Microsoft hotfix and run the tool successfully.
    c. restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

    Also, see burn a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player

  • Installing OS on Hyper V says - we have found all disks. For a storage driver, click on load a driver.

    Dell PowerEdge R610 - hardware

    Reference DELL PERC 6/1 SCSI Disk Device, think that these SAS disks.

    Question: Installed Hyper-V on the server, but when trying to install the operating system on the virtual machine, it is said: we have found all the disks. For a storage driver, click on load a driver.

    Could someone please suggest the correct load drive or where to download it.

    Kind regards

    Hello boby

    Your question is not related to the material. Unless you use a form any direct IO to enable communication of the VM with material then the virtual machine communicates with the hypervisor.

    I suggest that you are looking for guides on the Microsoft Web site to learn how to configure a virtual machine. It seems that you did not create a data store, VHD, assigned to a virtual storage controller or one thing other storage in relation to the virtual machine.

    The problem you are experiencing is virtual.
