• I accidentally deleted my boot partition

  I tried to install Windows 10 using Bootcamp but it failed and I had to start. I thought I had deleted the Bootcamp partition, but I accidentally deleted the main boot partition for Mac OS. When I try to start my Mac Apple logo appears for a while, then finally I do not see an entry sign.

  In an attempt to solve this problem, I started my Mac upward into recovery mode and reinstalled Mac OS on the partition that I created for the thought of Windows, I would be able to access my files and pass them to the new facility. Mac OS installed fine, but I now have a 800 GB partition, I can't access. He appears in disk utility, but I can not unlock or fix it.

  Question is, can I repair the boot partition and to come back to how I was before I screwed up?

  Or, is it possible to unlock the main so partition that I can access it from the new installation, back up everything can start all over again?

  What do you backup before you start this project?

• Professional W7 x 64 Tecra A11-128: 1.45 GB boot partition

  Hello

  I'm about to reinstall W7 Professional x 64 and my partition tool shows me, that the Toshiba factory installation consists of:
  * one * boot partition * 1.45 GB size (most are empty)
  * the * root partition * 289 GB (storage of operating system and other things OEM)
  As I intend to reinstall the same version of W7 (using the W7 license), I see no reason to keep the boot partition (BitLocker for Ultimate...).
  Does anyone know why the boot partition which is supposed to be 100 to 200 MB at the most, that is great?

  What all simply let down that partition and reinstall W7 Professional x 64 in a new preformatted, empty partition?
  In this way, the Windows installation should not create a boot partition and just use a primary partition.
  Are there any additional (Toshiba) tools using the partition start hidden and if so, which?

  Thank you for your ideas!

  In my opinion all these partitions and the whole structure of the partitions is not so important if you want to install own OS.
  Create a recovery disk using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. These recovery disks, you can use for installing the OS where you want to have the factory (out of the box) settings again.

  When the recovery disks are created, you can do whatever you want. Delete all partitions, create a clean partition and install Win7 professional. Configure the second or the third partition, depending on your needs, optimize the operating system preinstalled and be happy.

  This is my only idea. I did the same thing in the past, I did it on my Satellite A660 and I will do this in the future.

  Good bye

• Expand the HD boot partition

  Recently installed Win7, replacing XP over 23 GB Boot partition. 500 GB HD has a boot partition of 1 GB for a different os and balance of the reader makes sense.

  Problem increases the size of the partition to Boot Win7 as DiskPart and other partitioning software display only Win7 partition as 24GO with no adjacent space. Have you tried to delete/unallocating part logic of drive; Unable to increase the size of the boot of Win7 partition.

  Just downloaded the Minitool partition wizzard.

  Help with this problem will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

• How to restore the windows boot partition 8

  During the formatting of some new partitions I created, I accidentally restructured my windows boot partition 8.

  My windows system partition 8 (containing all my files and soforth) did not suffer. When I inserted the disc of windows 8, I didn't see no simple method to reinstall my windows 8 boot partition without wiping the entire system (and other operating systems that I have on this computer).

  Is there a simple way to repair my boot partition without harming my other partitions?

  Hello

  Thanks for the update.

  Try another set of orders. Follow the same steps provided in my previous steps to get the command prompt. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each:

  bcdedit/set {default} partition device = c:
  bcdedit/set {default} osdevice partition = c:
  bcdedit/set {bootmgr} partition device = c:

   

  Check if you are able to boot in Windows 8.

• How reduce the Win7 boot partition, then move the other partitions left in newly free space?

  Summary: How can I shrink/move partitions on my HDD 650 GB physical so that they reside in the first 500 GB of that drive?

  I have a newly purchased HP dm4-2070us laptop with Win 7 Home Premium (HP OEM) installed on the hard disk of 640 GB.  This hard drive is slow, so I would like to replace it with a 500 GB Seagate Momentus XT.

  In order to be able to clone all the partitions of the 640 GB drive for the smallest 500 GB replacement drive, I need to shrink the partition C: (main window), then move the partitions remaining 'left' ending up with all partitions in the first 500 GB of the disk so I can then copy this image to the new drive of 500 GB.

  I already have the software to clone the partitions of the 640 GB drive for the 500 GB drive.

  My concerns:

  (1) the administration tool Win7 disc printing should it allows me to shrink the C: boot partition, but I don't know if that can damage anything.

  (2) move the SYSTEM partition, or the partition RECOVERY left the impression that he could render the system unbootable.

  Here is a screencap of my current scores in the Win7 disk management tool:

• vCenter Converter - P2V migration without dedicated boot partition

  Hello

  I'm looking to migrate to a physical computer to my ESXi cluster with vCenter Converter but actually I got this following error message:

  There is no directory "/ boot", mounted on the source machine. It is necessary to create a virtual bootable. Mount the directory "/ boot" on the source machine.

  Is it possible to ignore this message? In fact, this server is in production and I don't have any space on my hard drive to create another partition.

  I would like to know if we can convert a physical machine to a virtual machine without a dedicated boot partition.

  Note: I had a folder/boot but mounted on my.

  If anyone has any advice on this subject will be useful

  Yes, in theory, you can. / boot directory under / is OK, but this error message is a bit misleading - I'd say converter couldn't recognize your * discs * and so no partitions mounted, so he couldn't find/boot as a separate partition or as a directory under /. You use some software RAID (md) on your source server?

• The host has not enough space on the boot partition to store the image upgrade. It takes a minimum of size_in_MB. After the release of space or perform an installation from the CD-ROM.

  Hi everyone, the difficulties in trying to update the Update Manager. ESX4.1 to ESXi5.0

  Error I get is below to correct the scan before update:

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  It sounds like this host has already been improved 3.x! In this case you will not be able to upgrade to 5.x using the Manager to update because of the small partition/boot (99 MB).

  to remedy the hosts against a basic upgrade

  ... You cannot use Update Manager to upgrade to 5.0 ESXi host, if the host has upgraded ESX 3.x to ESX 4.x. These hosts have not enough free space in the partition/Boot to support the process of update Update Manager. Use either interactive or scripted upgrade.

• ESXi 4.0 Dell T105 "cannot find the boot partition.

  Dban Nuke used to wipe my hard drives (two of them).

  Unplugged the secondary hard drive.

  Installed ESXi 4.0 (declared success).

  Machine starts, starts in ESXi 4.0, starts to load, then:

  "Cannot find the boot partition.

  Others have suggested to set parameter SATA AHCI controller. Not possible in my BIOS. I 'ATA Mode' and 'Off '. "Off" turns off the entire controller and my hard drive is not recognized.

  Others still suggested to install on a USB key. Wary of such a hack...

  Help, please. There is very little out there on ESXi 4. Even a pointer to VMware documentation with a list of error messages and their meaning/solutions would be helpful (unable to find such a list myself).

  I had the same problem that others are with the start-up for the drives. I went with the USB boot and it works very well because it has an internal USB port, it works even better because I'm not burn an external port. I use an older version of BIOS that does not start USB ports have enough fast for the key USB is recognized from a cold start *bummer* but not a big deal. Once this is done, I'm off the coast and run very well.

  I would recommend going this way until someone comes up with a better alternative, which I would be interested in doing.

• Switching the boot partition? Satellite Pro 4270

  I have inherited a SP4270 and I would like to partition the hard drive, formatting of a portion as NTFS and the other in the form of FAT, and using NTFS for installation of Windows and the FAT for a Linux installation.

  Since the BIOS doesn't have the option of booting from a given partition, what can I do to give me the option to boot from one of the partitions?

  Hello

  How did you create this partition?
  The Partitions Magic 8 is a very useful application for creating and managing partitions. It of not possible to change anything in the BIOS. You must boot manager and you can then choose the different operating system.
  But also as far as know offers Linux, creating a disk clean startup disk. This disk, you can boot Linux.
  However the PM8 also utters a special function to create a Linux partition and with this partition is should be possible to boot Linux.

I have run Disk Cleanup and fact a CHKDSK at startup. Which occupy much space and how that can be recovered?

  Two very large files are automatically created by Windows, and the size is based on the installed memory (RAM). Here is an example. See the highlighted entries occupying 28 GB of disk space.

• Resize the Windows Server 2003 boot partition

  My client has Server 2003 with a RAID. The system volume / start is 12 GB. Right next to this boot on the partition volume is 30 GB of unallocated space. The rest of the disk is allocated to a separate partition in which all their data lives.

  Can I expand the boot volume to include the 30 GB of unallocated space? If so, how?

  Your help is appreciated.
