• How to extend the partition that has free space on the left with diskpart

  I bought an SSD and made a second partition on my HARD drive to transfer my data. I had planned to clone and move the light to my SSD partition, but read that I was better to do a new install. I made a new installation on the SSD drive, deleted the old partition of Windows 7 and went to add to the data partition unallocated space (unallocated space is to the left of the partition). I know that you can not do this with disk management, but I've done it before on my laptop Windows 7 by using diskpart. I found an article earlier about how use diskpart to do what disk management may not, but I don't know how or where I found it.

  I know I can do it with applications 3rd party like GParted, but knowing that it is possible, but don't remember how to do it with diskpart is driving me crazy. Can someone help me?

  Hi Schwaka,

  As a general rule, it is very easy to extend the partition when the free space is right behind, but what can you do with the space left? Most people will feel that it is really a great difficulty.

  Do not worry! Here I recommend you an easy to use, software AOMEI Partition Wizard Server Edition. It is so common among computer users and most of the people speak highly.

  Your problem, there are two choices for you. We have to move the space unallocated behind, and the other is to merge the free space on the data partition. Both functions may not be permitted in Windows 7 disk management. In addition to the two features, more functions are supported to manage your drive.
  

  Have fun with it!

  Best wishes!

• Windows 7 Installer error "Setup could not use the existing system partition because it does not contain the required free space.

  Repeatedly tried to install the upgrade to windows 7 and pure install and get the error message on all partitions available "Setup could not use the existing system partition because it does not contain the required free space.  All 3 partitions on a single disk have over 90 GB and separated from the disc more than 65 GB of free space according to the properties of the disk and initial screen during installation.  Tried to reformat a partition empty all reinstall Xp sp3 without result.  What can I do?

  Remove the data cable of all drives except the drive that you want to install Windows 7 on.

  Remove all external devices.

  Delete all partitions on the disk leave all of the disc as "unallocated".

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD and then install, when you reach the point where it asks you to select a drive, click the "Advanced" option and create a new partition (at least 50 GB) to install Windows and continue with the installation process.

• How ascess the files in my Windows Vista Partition in Windows 7?

  How ascess the files in my Windows Vista Partition in Windows 7? I have Windows Vista Partition, I case these files through my Windows 7 partition without logging in there?

  Thank you

  You should be able to (I'm virtually certain it's possible) If you have the appropriate permissions or property rights in your Vista partition to allow access of the user of Windows7 or users of Windows7.  It's the way it works with XP and Vista and I suspect that it is essentially the same thing here.  You may need to add the users to the Vista partition/folders/files in Windows7 using regardless of their process (it varies probably Vista so I won't bother posting method Vista to do).

  The best thing to do is to follow the advice of Michael Murphy and get help from experts in the Windows7 Forums.

  Good luck!

• you have to have free space, or your files will automatically separate?

  I have about an 80 gigabyte and I want to share it at halfway but its full, so I was wondering if windows will automatically share files

  Your question is not particularly clear.

  Windows will only save a file on a single path then if the Act of writing a large file will fill a particular drive that the write will fail completely with a lack of space error.

  When writing multiple files to a removable device, it can request a change to the device when it is full.

  It is not generally recommended to fill out a capacity HARD drive as standard household tasks will not work. You should always have at least 15% of free space on a disk partition.

• Disk partition changed in 'free space' - cannot change it back to 'I' volume

  I got a WHS error message telling me that a reader of my Vista laptop was "disappeared". It seems that 'I' drive partition on the laptop was removed from the disk management that shows now like 'free space '. I can not re - assign drive letter 'I' because the partition itself chooses a beyond when I go to "More actions" in disk management.

  I don't want to make a new volume as I fear, it will delete everything on this partition - or just re - assign drive letter 'I' if I choose "New simple volume", keeping the data? (Letter 'I' is the next available letter.)

  Thank you

  Chris

• Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

  I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

  The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

  The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

  I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

  
  DISKPART> list disk

  DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

  I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

  Here are a few screenshots:

  ... of the physical disk in disk utility (notice how it doesn't seem be all unallocated space on the disk to create a new volume):

  

  ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the drive in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of the partitioning settings page. Notice how the sign is grayed out (I can't create another partition):

  

  

  I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

  In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

• Cannot add new vmdk to vm from data store space free

  Hello

  what I am doing wrong?

  When trying to add new vmdk of VM (SQL) of free space to store data, I get an error. See attach...

  I tried 19GB, 18 GB, and even 10GB... the same error. As you can see there is 19.46 GB of free space on the data store.

  Thank you.

  chances are you have snapshots or Exchange memory files using this space.

  Best practices of VMware is to leave 25 + % free on your VMFS volumes.

  I weoud suggest you use another if possible VMFS volume

• Free disk space on the C partition

  Separated from this thread.

  I am also having the same problem.  I am running Vista Home Premium SP2.  I was getting close to complete on my drive C (13% free space). I was shocked to see how quickly it filled up, almost as if he did it by himself.  I was downloading a lot so I had no idea how it happened.  I ran each program cleaning and each antivirus that I had to try to make room.  I cleaned up program files deleted a bunch of audio and video files, and it does not seem to do much more of a difference.  I shut down the computer for the night and is returned to him the next morning.  I ran and bought a few flash drives to transfer files more and when I booted up I checked the hard drive and it was back to 48% free space (as it was before).  I have no idea what happened, but so far, it seems to be fixed...?   one of the cleansers I ran also ccleaner.

  Compress files

  There are two ways to compress files in windows. Zip files and built-in file compression. It's built-in file compression. For more information on compression type zip in Start - Help and Support .

  Photos, music and video are already compressed. They can get larger if Windows tries to compress it any further. Also usually a bad idea to compress system files.

  If you have files of worksheet they can very well be compressed. If you have files, installation files, they can also be good candidates. Web pages are also good candidates.

  In Windows Explorer, blue file names means Tablet (it is the file system compression not aka zip files compressed files). Green filename means Encrypted.

  To disable file names colored, in Explorer - Tools menu (Alt + T)- display tab and then clear the check box for Show encrypted or compressed NTFS in color .

  Windows compression, encryption and security to work for the most part by applying attributes to a folder and the files in the folder inherit the folder.

  If you have all the files appropriate for compression, find them in solution, made Explorer right click - Properties - general -Advanced button tab - Compress contents to save disk space. Choose to apply to all files and folders when asked.

• What is the free space in Vista variant of +/-50 GB?

  Last night when I went to bed my system reported that I had 60 GB free. This afternoon, he pointed out that I have more than 111 GB of free. I have not emptied the trash, run Disk Cleanup, installed updates (it is set to "notify me but do not install" after this update in the fall of 2009, which made me unable to get on the internet) or anything that could justify such a wide gap.
  Accustomed to the amount of free space fluctuating by the swap file systems, I'm my system has only 6 GB RAM and what I have observed, I rarely fully used that. I expect a variance of + / 12 GB or more, not 50 GB.

  Is it normal for Vista 64-bit home premium with AVG free or is something current weird that I should try to trace? I only noticed because I knew I had to free 20 GB (probably more like 30-40) for a 580 GB partition on a drive of 500 GB of images and was preparing to move some installers downloaded from CDs and DVDs.

  To study disk space, use download and install Treesize (freeware).

  Information about Treesize

  http://www.Jam-software.com/treesize_free/

  When you open Treesize scan select in the Menu and you will see a list of drives. Click on C and it will generate a list of files. Display names and 6 larger files sizes and the total at the top of the list.

  To reconcile Treesize figures with the size of a partition (or drive), you must make allowances according to this formula:
  Partition C + folder System Volume Information + Free space + file compression gain = ability to drive or partition

  To determine the size of the System Volume Information folder, select Start, Control Panel, system, System Protection, click Configure under Protection settings. What is the figure of the current use?

• How free space on the partition system reserved when the usual FSUTIL USN DELETEJOURNAL command does not work?

  When you try to make the system images, I found that the system reserved (100 MB) partition can be a problem if it has less than 50 MB of free space.  In my case it was after execution of FSUTIL USN DELETEJOURNAL/d/n and 34 MB free disk space is only 40 MB.  I also tried without the flag/n.

  I had just restored the system from an image so I felt comfortable to make new changes.  I deleted the fonts and directories of different language from the startup directory (the directory of fonts took about 10 MB).

  I see a file name {hex 64 bit I think} in the System Volume Information directory, which was 32MB in size.  I tried to remove it but no luck.

  After you remove the fonts, and the other languages, I had a lot of free space to perform the system image.  I'm not comfortable actually using this image, go ahead yet, but I'm looking for someone who might know what is and isn't OK to do with this partition.  I would have done it 150 MB when I installed everything first if I had an idea I was going to suffer like that on a meager 18 MB.

  Thank you.

• Windows Setup is unable to find a place to store temporary installation files. To install windows, make sure that a partition on your startup disk has at least 686 MB of free space

  Current operating system: Win XP

  New version: Win 7 Home premium downloaded from digitalriver (student version)
  The download went well and expanded on in the expandedSetup folder. When I click on the button 'Install now' on the configuration screen, it displays error
  "Windows Setup cannot find a location to store temporary installation files. To install Windows, make sure that a partition on your startup disk has at least 686 MB of free space. »
  The unusual thing only that I have in this facility, it is that I "shrunk" the volume existing XP windows C: 228 GB to 150 GB to make room for the new partition W: for windows 7.
  Here is the my drive details

  Letter of free space size
  c: 150 GB GB 48.3
  W: go-go 78.0 78.1
  I: 54.7 47 MB MB (seems to be the DELL diagnostics dell partition)
  J: 4.63 GB 959 MB (seems to be the DELL partition with the original copy of OS)

  I found the fix - made a bootable disc from the "expandedSetup" directory and booted from the disc. Look for the startup disk process in the solution of this tread

  Assuming that C: is the drive of victory that the size is too small, you need at least 100 GB for the drive to victory.

  (on this particular sys disk win uses 128 GB and with libraries located on a second disk, the disk win itself is 240 GB)

  You might care to use the home Version page free;

  http://www.partition-tool.com/ (EaseUS) because it has more options/capabilities than the tools management integrated disk.

  Have BTW you kept your Vista recovery disks and its key as if you need to reinstall from disc to upgrade to win7 that you will first install Vista
