cannot expand the c partition in unallocated space

I have a HP Pavilion dv5224nr laptop running Windows XP.  I've been low on disk space, so I came on this forum to find out how to remove the recovery partition, since I have the recovery CD from HP.  Now that I deleted the partition through disk management, it only allows me to expand the C partition in unallocated space left by removing the partition D.  "Extend partition" is not an option in the menu when I right click.  I also tried going through the "diskpart" command prompt, select the volume and him asking to "extend".  I received a message that it was unable to extend the volume.  How can I recover the 12 GB of space on my C drive?  Thank you.

I downloaded a free utility called Easeus Partition Master and it worked very well for resizing my partition C.  I also used explores the function to watch the 1 gig unknown partition and it wasn't empty, so I left it alone.  Thanks for your help!

  • Impossible to expand the C partition after the reduction of the DATA Partition

    I dropped my DATA partition to increase the size of my partition Vista (c), but I can't extend C: (as far I understand it) because it is more than a single partition to the right.

    I can reformat the free space and I have another partition, but I would rather extend C:
    Is there a way to do this?

    Also, I wrote my recovery disks, but the DATA partition again should he be there? Also if you do not delete the DATA partition and that do it again you?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    The problem is that your data partition was created after the C partition.

    If you reduce a partition, the free space appears after the shrivelled partition and so you can not add this free space to the other partition of C that is placed behind the partition Data (D).

    The only way to expand the C partition is to delete the partition D and then to add this free space to the C partition, but I wouldn't delete the DATA partition because it has a record of recovery that is necessary to create the Toshiba Recovery DVD

    But if you have already created a Toshiba Recovery DVD then the deletion of the DATA partition is not a serious problem because the Toshiba Recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and would create 3 new partitions (hidden WinRE partition, partition C system, DATA partition).

  • Hard drive to expand the C partition

    Hello

    How to expand the C partition on the hard drive. For the C partition option is grayed out in Disk Management extend it.

    Dell Inspiron 1564, Windows 7.

    Photo of attached disk management.

    For some reason I didn't your answers on your other thread.

    You can only expand in the unpartitioned space on the right of the partition that you extend. You deleted the D: drive, but the space is not the unpartitioned space. Because you can have a maximum of 4 partitions on an MBR disk, the last of them is typically created as an extended Partition, that allows you to create additional logical drives inside. It is a goofy configuration if this is how he got from Dell. You must also delete F:, then delete the Extended Partition. Then you can extend C: you have unpartitioned space where was the Extended Partition.

  • Win 7 Pro, FX6100, 8 GB of ram, 250 GB ssd; cannot find the system partition

    They are like: (and my response)

    cannot find the system partition (do a stupid)
    Can not find the installation partition (crikey, I gave you the entire disk, make one)

    Talk about mega-frustration.  How about a useful error message and some useful ways to respond.

    >:-((

    If the ssd is not recognized in the first part of the installation process, as a location to install win on, you need to check the manual of the card mother about all the necessary bios for its port settings, or weather, you need to install any third-party disk controller.

    And if it's a new ssd, must not contain any partition table, unless you have prepared this ssd when you started in one of your other installations win, that can be part of your problem.

  • 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:

    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.

  • Cannot expand the size of the disk

    I'm coverting a VMware machine that created via VMWare Player 3.0. It's a Windows 7 VM 15 GB. I made this ttimes number but for some reason any on this virtual machine I don't have the option to extend the size of the disk. Usually, there is a fall downwards according to the size of the disk where I enter the number to Go to the new size of disk, but there is no list drop-down option. Currently there are 1.5 free space on this virtual machine. Ideas?

    the exapnd utility will expand the HARD disk you selected, not add another drive.  In Windows, you have unallocated space at the end of the partition, you can then use disk management to extend the volume.

  • How to merge the C drive and unallocated space

    I recently had a new 1 TB HDD in my count and then I had to download Windows XP Pro as my old hard drive crashed. In under disk 0 disk management, I (c :)) 128.00 GB and to the right, I have not allocated 803,52 GB.)  I'm not sure how it happened.  I guess that something I had put on Windows XP Pro.

    My question is that I can combine the two together.  The C drive and the unallocated space.  There are no other disks shown but C.  Thanks Reta

    It happened because you have installed a copy of "gold" Windows XP, (an original version without a service pack).  Released as Windows XP did not support 48-bit LBA so it truncated the disc to 137 GB (128 GB binary) and the rest of the unallocated disk, slipstreaming of service packs for the Windows XP CD would have allowed windows to correctly see the entire disk.  The only way to solve this problem now is to use a third-party partititionneur.  You can use the free trial version of BootItNG to merge partitions.  You do not need to install BootItNG, when you get to the Setup screen simply cancel the installation and you will enter the maintenance mode where you will be able to partition work.

  • 14FR (PQSERVICE) recovery partition becomes unallocated space

    Hi all

    I have an Aspire 5745 G laptop with Windows 7 HP x 64 preload. My HARD drive accidentally becomes a dynamic disk for narrowing the 'C' drive by using a 3rd party partition management software. I converted it to the base using the same tool. Now my OEM 14FR reserved partition disappeared. It shows as an unallocated space in the Device Manager window.

    Can I still get back without going through recovery discs?

    Thanks before.

    Hi osandakj

    Bad news is, if the recovery partition is listed as unallocated, it has been deleted.

    You will certainly need to buy for your laptop recovery disks!

  • Vista SP2: create an additional partition / merge unallocated space

    I looked around the forums but I can't seem to find an appropriate response.

    I recently reinstalled an operating system on my computer (HARD drive Exchange).  This time, I decided to stay with the Vista original rather than go to the downgrade to XP, I first time round.

    -Online is my goal is to create a partition only for my data.

    I don't never partitioned a drive myself so far.  So far, I did not restore all the data.

    I found a strange configuration on the HARD disk, which is now 500 GB:

    C: "Vista" (of course the windows and other program files, the page file, etc.). About half of the total disk space, with a lot more free space.

    E: 'Data' ("primary partition"). About half of the disk space total but container recovery tools only 4 GB of occupation.

    A third * no * capacity volume 1.46 GB with 100% free space.  It is marked 'healthy (EISA) configuration.

    My plan had been to shrink C and E substantially, in particular E (up to about 6 GB, which gives 33% free space, since it is only recovery tools - on my machine Win 8 I have a recovery partition, but it is very small, as expected).

    I shrink both, but Vista only authorized maximum withdrawal of 50%.  I found myself with two spaces unallocated.  I formatted a (now called D) and now, it is marked 'in good condition (logical drive).  He is also NTFS.

    I've not yet formatted the other unallocated space.

    So, my questions:-

    1. What is this labeled 1.46 GB partition?  Why is that?  (Never seen something like that).

    2. why can I not shrink the existing partitions more?  C even still contains 69% free space.

    3. how to merge both new partitions?

    4. Why is the new partition D not a main drive and what question?  (I read somewhere in Vista you can have 3 primary disks.)  Is this what volume unlabelled 1.46 GB as a primary transmission?

    => I would like ideally to a single disk of data about 65 to 75% of my 500 GB HARD drive.  For now the D drive and newly formatted (68.1 GB) and the unallocated space (115.9 GB) add up to only 184 GB, significantly less than half.

    Thanks for any help.

    I'm no expert on the partitioning of the disks as each version of Windows introduced new types of structures of disk and partitions. Each of the different rules depending on the type and the version of Windows.

    I have three partitions. Data and one for Windows. One for beta versions of Windows. And one for the installation files (if it survives reformatting). I copy my data to another partition if resettlement (but it's been 6 years and 7 months I finally reinstalled Windows - what ordinary hassles are you going to for once an event of the Decade).

    Windows is designed to separate the data on a disk. Many of its features are designed to make several drives appear as a single drive.

    In the worst case scenario for your scenario, Windows will work, but your data is lost compared to the lost data, but nothing works. An improvement without consequence.

  • How to restore after deleting a partition in unallocated space on my hard drive?

    HI, I have recently removed a partition of my hard drive on windows Vista Home Basic. I removed it because I needed to find the hard drive space on the main user profile.

    I found, after following the instructions on how to remove the partition that the partition has been deleted, but the space was not available for use on the main user.

    I couldn't find any information on how to restore the space unallocated on the C: drive, so if there is someone out there who can help me, I'd appreciate the help! : o).

    Hi geddron1976,

    Is "unallocated" space right next to the C: partition, that is to the right of the C: partition? If yes go to control panel and click the Administrative Tools icon. In the Administrative Tools window, click computer management. In the window of computer managgement, click on disk management and you will then see a view of your disks. Click right on your C: drive, and in the menu drop-down, select "Extend Volume".  A wizard will appear. In the 'select amount of space in MB' type the amount sdpace you want to extend the partition. If you want this then let the total in the State. Now, click Next, followed by the finished product. The c: drive should now be extended in your unallocated space.

    If the C: partition is 'no' right next to the unallocated space, then you will not be able to extend the partition - not with the windows disk in any case management application. To do this you will need a third party application of partitioning, it is also a little more complex.

  • Manager Windows 8.1 and the HP recovery disk manager cannot remove the recovery partition

    I have the following computer: HP ENVY h8 desktop PC - 1437c.  I used the HP Recovery application to do a recovery on a flash drive disk. When you have finished this operation it was not an option to remove the recovery partition (drive D on my computer. I tried to reopen the HP Recovery Manager and try to remove it like that, but to remove it is greyed out. I also tried to delete it using the 8.1 windows Disk Manager, but there is no way to do there either. If I right click on the recovery Partition, I get only an option 'help '. How can I get rid of this partition and recover lost space using it now on my hard drive. Windows and HP did not want to provide more records with their computers, but they do not have a problem of screwing of MY hard drive that I bought and paid for. I should start to charge rent for the space.

    I just used the software and created another partition as drive D using all unallocated space. I can delete probably once again, or maybe I'll just use it as a storage device for my files instead of recovering files sofetware... Thanks for the help
