Computer Vista laptop was put-formatted at the factory (HP). The partition size is = ~ 300 GB, the file system size is = ~ 60GB. How to extend the fs of MBR to the size of the partition full?

Don't know if the "diskpart" tool is available under vista.  Even if this is the case, it can't extend the system startup files.
All ideas will be useful.  Thank you.

Read the tutorial above and the 'related links '.

That will explain how it works under Vista.

See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

    Hello

    Method 1

    Step 1:  I suggest to start in safe mode and see if you can boot to the desktop:

    Step 2: If you successfully boot to the desktop then safe mode put the computer in a clean boot, and then restart the computer:

    Note: after a repair, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Method 2: If you are able to boot to the desktop in safe mode, then try a system restore and see if it helps:

  • Problems connecting Xbox 360 to computer vista laptop via ethernet connection to the network local (the laptop is connected via wifi)

    I spent a few hours trying to solve this problem, and I've been to countless forums.  They all told me to go into "Manage network connections" and right-click-properties on my connection Wi - fi.  Then they speak by clicking on the tab sharing... which I did not.  I don't know how to share my connection to the WiFi with my xbox 360.  It is supposed to be easy, but I can't realize what is designed as "highly probable."  I have a laptop Sony Vaio VGN-FW390 and Vista Home Premium. Maybe I have to set up a connection to an access point, or do a sort of thing ICS... I do not know.  I am incredibly annoyed by this, and I'd appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    Messier,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    Try this and see if it works for you, it has worked for some users.
    With no cable connected between the computer and the xbox, go to control panel, network and sharing Center. You should see a "Local Area Connection", which will show disabled at this stage, and your "wireless network connection", which should show connected. Connect the ethernet cable to your laptop and the back of the xbox. Select the 'connection to the Local network. After that it is well connected, disable your 'Wireless Network Connection'. Once disabled, right click and click Properties. Go to the Advanced tab and check "allow other users of the network to connect through this computer's internet connection". Once this is done, your wireless internet connection should say shared next to the State of the connection.
    Turn on your wireless connection. Then, right click to 'connect to the Local network' and click on repair. Allow the end. test the connection on your xbox.

    Let us know how that works for you.
    Thank you

  • copying a disc - __copied photos on computcomputer with Windows XP-computer Vista laptop and will not open the program

    Copied pictures on a computer using Windows XP

    Disc will not load on my laptop with Vista

    Is there a program to load the disk or is it just copies of some images.  So just copies, then the disc will not 'load' because there is no program to run.  Insert the disc in the drive and click Start / computer / player Disck and right click it and select Explorer.  You should be able to see the folders and files with your photos.  You can or the disc appears to be blank or missing?

    If the problem is that by clicking on the file does not open a program to display it, and then confirm that your Vista machine has software installed to read the file type of the images (they may require that you get a different software to view what they are).

    If this isn't the problem, try to copy some files from the disc to your desktop computer and try to open them from there and see if that makes a difference.  If so, then there is a problem with the drive to recognize the types of files, and then by selecting the appropriate program.  You should maybe go to the web site of the manufacturer of the drive and download any driver, firmware and suitable for the machine AND your version of Vista.  Install it and see if that makes a difference.  Check out a few other discs and see if you have the same problem with them or if it's only this one disc.

    What type of disc is (CD, CD - R, CD - RW, DVD,...)?  Confirm that you can read stll the drive on the XP machine.  Do you get the error on each machine and if so what do say EXACTLY?

    I hope this helps.  If not, tell me what happened with each step and try to answer all my questions.

    Good luck!

    my computer vista laptop stops working. It starts ok and allowes me to choose my user account, then it loads to the top of my page with all the desktop icons and wellcome page, then it stops working. How to solve this problem? Thank you!

    LTCRay,

    If the problem persists in Mode without fail, it is very likely that the system has been infected.
    You can take a look at the post of PA Bear on the removal of the malware on this thread:
    Remember that you may need to removed the hard drive from the system to scan for infections.

  • Computer Toshiba laptop does not work after the lid slam... Help please!

    This problem with a Toshiba - windows vista laptop began after the cover was closed too hard. When he was conducting swiched, instead of going to the usual blue screen, the screen was grey and a message would come in saying ' it installed program cannot start. " Click ok to stop the computer", as I could not get into windows at all, I took the drastic step to insert the recovery disks that came with the laptop to launch new and see if it worked (a cell phone factory default is is better than nothing).

    In any case during the process, which took a very long time, I got messages such as not found HDD1 also say there not enough space to recover.  Then I got x:\windows\systems32 and nothing else it got stuck on that for centuries, because he just asked me to check the disk, but I couldn't because I couldn't get a windows session, I looked online and saw something similar to my prob and says type chkdsk c:/f I did after recovering past for much longer afterwards I had to stop at 80% , because there is no room in the end and now I don't even not the blue screen.

    As soon as the laptop is turned on, it says, could not start windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause to fix the prob insert your windows installation disc.  But it won't let me, I get just the same message and also it says File\Windows\system32\drivers\Wdf01000.sys and the State: Oc00000e9 and Info: Windows could not load a critical system driver is missing or damaged.

    Please help me if you can, my daughter really needs the laptop works again for homework, thanks a lot

    Thank you for taking the time to answer, I think that will be my next move, was hoping I wouldn't have to take to a repair shop, because you never know how it will end up costing, there may be more damage than all formatting, thanks once again :)

  • What is updated in IQ. I just installed in my computer because I was invited at & thought the promp was for real! Help!

    I was working on something when I was prompted to install "IQ Updater" on my computer.  I was happy because I thought that it was intended to make it easier I wanted to do.  After it installed, it disappeared and I knew he had not installed to help me with my project.  When I watched "IQ Updater" I was sent to this forum. Please forgive me if I use the wrong forum.  I'm not computer savey and do not understand how this forum works. I still don't know what is "IQ Updater", but what I've read about on this forum, it sounds bad.  Can someone tell me exactly what is "IQ Updater"?  As if I would never have true instance to use it on my computer?  A screw up my computer security?  Should I go ahead and immediately try and remove it with malware bytes?

    It is the site of the manufacturer of InstallIQ. http://www.W3i.com/InstallIQ.aspx

    Take a look in your installed programs and see if you can uninstall it from there.

  • Cannot access the drives on my pc through my computer vista laptop windows 7

    I'm trying to network my vista pc and my laptop win 7.  See the vista pc and have access to all files and drives on my laptop win 7.  But my laptop win 7 can't access the drives (I have 2) on my vista pc.  The win 7 see the vista on my network pc.  I can access the vista computer, I can see readers, but access is denied to 'no permission, contact your administrator. "  The public record access very well, but not the 'c' and 'n' readers.  "N" is an extra internal drive, which I added.

    I double checked that the readers are shared, said permission to everyone, even turn off the password just in case.

    I have read another view and tried everything that seems near, please help.

    I am also able to connect to my vista through Windows Media Player media files.  Just not able to access my files in the readers.

    In Vista, go to start / network / network and sharing Center and make sure network sharing, file sharing, sharing protected by password and share multimedia files are all checked.

    If this isn't the problem, please repost your question in the Forums of Windows7 (that you are able to access Vista and not of Windows7 is a Windows7 problem - although it probably involves some changes in Vista as well) to: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/windows7 where people who specialize in issues of Windows7 will be more than happy to help you with your problem.
