Can I partition my C: drive without data loss and transfer user files to the new?

I have a pre-installed windows 7 Home Premium(64-bit) on a computer laptop DELL studio. Unfortunately, it only has drive C and no partition at all. Therefore, it is possible to create partitions without risk of loss of data (System and user)? If so, is it possible to transfer all the files from the user to the new one system files and all stay in C.

Partitioning itself has no impact on performance. You can get slightly better performance by how you distribute folders and files on a partitioned system but I would not partition to eliminate program freezes. It's the wrong way to tackle the problem.

There are many reasons for freezes.

Freezes occur mainly because the task or tasks require more memory or one that is immediately available to the capacity of the CPU. The solution is to increase what is available or to reduce demand. You can do both. How to do this is much more complicated. It depends on what element of hardware is causing the bottleneck. If memory is limited, it can be simply remedied by adding RAM. If the problem is the capacity of the CPU, you will find that increasing capacity is often not practical to replace the often average CPU processor replaced motherboard, operating system and other equipment doing expensive exercise... Change the hard drive could help, but switching to an SSD is also expensive. If the processor is the problem, then demand reduction is often the way to go.

If you are resolved to reduce the demand, it can significantly improve the performance if you delete the browser add ons such as toolbars and search engines that are not necessary. Most of the time when you install the new software you will find recommended add ons. You must learn to say no when they duplicate what you already have. Add on can hide malware, including spyware, reports how you use your computer. Do not believe the bland statements like 'works quietly in the background. It's more than one spin. Multitasking may be good, but it can provide performance problems. It translates into a surplus of supply over demand.

Another cause of gel can be for lack of material, most commonly, the hard drive, RAM wiring associates or defective. These flaws are often easy to detect, but not always the case. You must also make sure that you have the latest version of the BIOS and motherboard drivers. They can be updated on a brand new computer if the person selling you the computer is not updated immediately before restore you the computer.

If Frost always involves the same programs uninstall and reinstall the program, and you make sure you have the latest updates. You can also use Google to find out if others have or have had the same problem. Focus your search by using keywords, descriptions of the extracts may event viewer and limit the results to those within 12 months. Many programs have dedicated forums where other users may be able to help.

A gel is often the result of a malware infestation. In this case do not rely on your existing software. You need to perform analyses with software like Malwarebytes and Superantispyware. Perverse freezes may be caused by security software. Norton and McAfee are known to be involved, in particular where the computer has limited the capacity of RAM and CPU.

Poor or no maintenance will result in poor performance. You must have a maintenance routine. This can include compaction (some e-mail programs) and should include the cleanup with cCleaner and disk cleanup and defragmentation. You must make sure that the partitions have at least 20% of disk space. You do not defragment SSDS.

You must use the tools on your computer to look for clues as to what is happening. More you use, the more you understand what they say. The most useful tool is event viewer, although many users, it is difficult to interpret.

You will find many sites on the internet promoting the use of registry cleaners and optimizers to maximize the performance of your computer. They are promoted by the spin and the hype. The truth is that their use causes finally grief when you use to reinstall windows to eradicate the mistakes of the system they have caused.

Data transfer between 8300XP and 8.1 of Windows using an external drive of 1TD will be my transfer of files to the new system?

Also, my old computer has some type of pass protection, when entering data on a disk or diskette that appears to be empty on any other computer. Do I have to remove the password protection before I transfer my data to the external hard drive?

If your files are encrypted - you have Windows XP Professional, use the EFS file system and the files appear in the Green type when you look in Windows Explorer - then Yes, you have to decrypt (remove them the password) before you transfer the files.

If you mean that you must enter a password to connect to your XP computer but otherwise have no password protected individual files, so No, mustn't do something for files before transferring them.

Perhaps you could clarify what you mean by "when entering the data on a drive or a floppy drive he seemed to empty on any other computer."

If you are unsure if you have XP Pro, made a click right desktop and select "Properties".

Hello

You confuse the version of Windows with the hard drive.

A hard drive is a physical device for Windows (operating system)
are the programs installed. When the data is created and saved which are written in the
hard drive. A hard disk is analogous to a wardrobe as a storage device.

Hard drives are not little dependent, which means that you can run Windows 32 or 64 on them
If the rest of the system is compatible with every version.

Windows can be 32-bit or 64-bit. But not all hardware systems can run both.
Many 32-bit systems cannot run 64-bit Windows.

Your computer came with at least a possible hard disk to add possibly
internally, and certainly outside.

WiKi - hard disk drive
http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

As TrekDozer said that your computer cannot run as 64-bit Windows if you need to stay
with 32-bit Windows. However, you can add additional hard disks of extra disk space.

Check with HP support, their books online and the drivers, diagnosis, and
their forum are good sources of information from others with the same or similar
systems.

Can I edit partitions of hard drive without erasing Windows?

I have 3 partition. Vista on c. other OS on D & E.I don't want to use D & E OS disk and I need disk space. Can I Format D & E drive without affecting the drive C (Vista)? the attributes are C-boot, page file, crash dump, primary Partition, E-Logical drive, D-system, active, primary partition

Hello Petervn,

1. What are the operating systems you have installed on other drives?

Ideally you can format readers that you dΘmarrez not create a disk space. Since you have Vista installed on the C drive, it would not effect if you partition the other readers. However, you may need to do at your own risk. I suggest that you back up all data and create a system image on your computer before formatting the other readers.

You can check the link that will give you information on the uninstallation of an operating system below:

Hello Kuldeep,

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

We need more information about the issue so that we can help you better.

What is the exact error message or code when you say, 'mislead the GPT?

Thank you for details on the issue.

GUID Partition table (TPG) is a new style of partitioning that is part of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) specification. This is used for Windows 8 facilities factory for more flexibility of partition and

more advanced features of Windows 8. With an installation of Windows 7, the GPT partition must be removed and UEFI BIOS must be configured in a configuration to boot Legacy.

I suggest to check the following items and check if it helps.

Important notes:
Converting a hard disk partition or volume from NTFS to FAT32 requires that you reformat the partition, which deletes all the data on this subject. Be sure to back up data that you want to keep before you begin.

BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

DV7 - 7333cl: how to extract usable data from a bad drive using 22 pins adapter usb to SATA on the new HD

Greetings HP Forum,

Recently, I replaced a bad hard drive on my laptop. I need now step by step procedure to extract usable data from the wrong drive using 22 pins adapter usb to SATA on the new HD.

NOTE: I can't not all data that especially if some of the software downloaded on the replaced disk can be altered. Should I first download Internet Antivirus to protect my new hard drive? I'm not an expert, or even close to this when you work on the back of the laptop, so I'll have to step by step how to download and to partition the data recoverable and software, etc..

Thanks in advance for your help... I greatly appreciate it!

See you soon!

It is not complex. Attach the drive to the adapter and connect it to any other computer with good antivirus and antispyware installed. I use Malwarebytes and Avast. When you connect the adapter with the drive connected to the usb port, the drive will appear and it will be assigned a letter maybe E:\ or F:\ or something else. Immediately, he analyzes with the antivirus and anti-spyware. Quarantine or delete any virus or malware it finds. Then, it's just a matter of navigate the disk and copy and paste the contents of the host computer in a directory for this purpose. Obviously, you can copy from documents word, photos, music files, but you cannot copy the applications like Microsoft Word, iTunes. Photoshop. You may need to take ownership of the files on the old hard drive, but Windows will guide you through this. Don't know what else I can answer.

has got the biggest hard drive, can I transfer old install to the new drive?

C: space too small

My Windows XP Professional is installed on a 10 GB hard drive, there is little room left. I added an external drive more and would like to move the system to the largest disk. I don't have a installation disc. Can I transfer the system and applications to the new drive without losing any functionality and maybe use the old drive (C :) to store data.

Its not so easy. It is best to get rid of some of the files on the old drive and move the data files to the new drive. Try to go first to start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup. Then you can move locations of various data, such as temporary Internet files (in Internet Explorer go to tools |) Internet Options | Settings and click the folder to move and which will move this place). If you use OE, first back up your messages (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6) and then put in place a new directory on the new drive to something like D:\OESTORE and then go to tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store the folder and click the button change and set it as the new location. Then close and reopen OE (DO NOT MOVE MESSAGES yourself! as he will destroy them) and the location must be moved.

For other space saver, try to do a backup on the new disk directory and copy all update backups that were made (the Blues subdirectories in the Windows directory) and the Windows\inf directory that you can completely roll over to the new drive for backup purposes and you may need to browse to it, if you install a new device , but which will save a lot of space. (the above two suggestions require that you go to control panel |) Folder options | View and activate display files and hidden folders, enable showing protected and OS files and disable the option Hide extensions of known file types). Move also on other data such as images, documents, music to the new drive.

So if you have lots of space on C, defrag it.

But just copy through the old drive to the new and try to start on the new one is unlikely to work.

Can I feed 2 hard drives, one with XP and one with Win7?

I have 2 160 GB SATA HDs. C: drive is runing Win7, and I want to install the other drive with Win XP, for me to perform older simulations.

I unplugged the C: drive that has Win7 on it and went through the usual configuration with winXP, but after all installations have finished.

I am facing a blue screen that tells me I have a virus or bad drivers etc.

I ask myself where I want to install Windows XP at all times, so I guess that even if I unplugged the c drive where is installed Win7

I guess that as a 64-bit PC, it I cannot install WinXP 32-bit. Or what I have to erase Win7 first, and then install Windows XP, then Win7 after.

Please can someone help.

Thank you.

First, if you have Win 7 Pro or Ultimate, you can use the XP Mode (free from Microsoft).

If this does not work for you, what you want is called "dual-boot". There are many sites that explain how to set up (and 32 64 bit vs has nothing to do with it). Here's one (or use your favorite search engine): http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-windows-7-xp.html
