Creation of new partitions - problem

Hello

Two days I bought the HP Pavilion dv7-6b40ew now I want to do a few new partitions on my HDD 640 GB, because it's not safe to have only the C partition

I downloaded EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition and there is list of partitions:

I can resize the C: partition to size I want:

but when I try to make new partitions in unallocated space, I have error:

I don't know what to do.

(1) I read somewhere I need to burn DVD Recovery and delete recovery partition and everything will be fine, is it true?

(2) is there a method to make new partitions without deleting the recovery partition? It is not nice when I need DVD with me when I go to a place.

Please help how to make new partitions.

Greetings, Thomas

  • Win 7 does not start after the creation of new partition for fileswaping.

    Hello!

    As the header says, Windows 7 does not start. Made a partition to swap files between OS X and Windows 7.

    I saw in a thread that it could be repaired using fdisk. I'm really new to OS X, so I did not really

    know what to do. Writing the result of the controls, I found in the thread.

    I know now there is a warning to the partition AFTER installing Windows.

    Would really appreciate if everyone took some time telling me what to do!

  • Creation of new Partitions of hard drive

    I just bought HP Probook s 4530 with 500 GB HARD drive. The problem is that this machine has only a single partition and two partitions of system. The only partition is more than 480 GB and it has Windows installed on it.

    Now, I want to create multiple partitions without harming the windows partition. What is the safest way to resize the windows partition. Second, if I create the partitions I still would be able to use the recovery options?

    How can I manage my HD space safely without losing the recovery options or make my warranty null.

    Your recovery feature does work as expected after changing the partitions. Burn your DVD recovery set before changing the hard drive.

    Hello Kaj_R.

    If you change the volume, it is likely that the recovery partition will not work.  I suggest that you create a set of recovery media before playing with partitions.

    This document can help you create the recovery media.

  • A Recovery Key 8.0 - 8.1 windows - create new partitions

    Dear members,

    Looks like I'm again back and forth until the beginning of the loop about the one key recovery after checking with Lenovo customer support. Can you help me on the underside. However, I feel that well documented procedures for a recovery key 8.0 is missing rather than simply explain the navigation. I have laptop 59436412 z50-70 with pre-built windows 8.1

    Apart from others (recovery, OEM, other) partitions I have 2 partitions that are C (windows 8.1) 890 GB and D (drivers) 25 GB however I want to create additional partitions (4) to organize my files. Can I go directly to diskmanagement and reduce the amount of C in about 300 GB, and then create more number of partitions available space?

    Is it mandatory to create a USB stick with OS bootable recovery media? According to the customer support 'YOU NEED to DO a RECOVERY MEDIA PENDRIVE WITH BOOTABLE OPERATING SYSTEM such as CHANGE THE NUMBER OF PARTITIONS WILL BREAK THE METHOD OKR AND OKR WILL OPERATE NOT! that is, I will not be able to reset my laptop to factory settings, when I create several partitions.  If someone can confirm this?  Also, if I make a bootable OS, and during the restoration doesn't he invites a key make the OS as genuine windows?  Can I make a bootable on several DVD OS (like a DVD isn't enough)?  Is the same approach as in the case of manufacturing on a DVD?

    I didn't get the backup system. I want to make more partitions (shrink volume C and create partitions plus 5 for easy maintenance). I'll be able to restore my system to factory settings (using the key to NOVA) Although there are number of shift of the partitions (initially 2, now around 6 partitions)? I'm not worried about my data, because I'll have a backup of important files to external hard drive that I'll get back later with other software

    Can I have a partition based backup and restore using OKR 8.0?

    If I have an image of the system after the creation of all partitions then I will be able to restore using this image without problems?

    Tell if the hard drive broke down and I have the backup image to the external orifice. Can I restore the image on the new hard drive? The number of partitions is same? In addition, the size of each partition must be even?

    Suppose I have a partition on the hard drive itself to store backup images (img1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and when I need to restore on picture 3 and after successful restoration, I don't know who will lose the picture 4 and 5 on this partition image.  I'll be able to restore my system to say image 2 if necessary in the future when I am running on the 3 image.  In addition, there is a limit on the number of the system for a specific image restore?

    Waiting for your suggestions.  Sorry, if this is requested several times by others.

    Thank you
    Nicolas.

    DISCLAIMER: I do not use OKR.

    Based on the documentation and messages that I read about OKR, it requires your partitions of HARD drive to stay the same size as the shipped factory. What Lenovo customer support center said is correct! ANY change in the size of the partitions C or D will cause OKR to FAIL.  (there are messages indicating this failure after changing the size of the partition).

    The OKR create recovery media is designed to work with a USB key.  It will not work with a DVD.

    You can try to backup of Windows running with the backup being stored on the C drive, or second HARD/usb drive, etc.

    FOR INFO.  A HARD disk can contain only 4 ordinary partitions.  Greater than 4, you will need to allocate partitions SCOPES.

  • Partitioning hard drive, I want to spend 30/40 GB drive and the remaining space for the creation of other partitions.

    I created a recovery disc for my system that I bought the new laptop.
    It consist of 500 GB HARD drive, now the problem is the C - drive which is my WIN7 Home Basic installed occupies 400 GB of space and the D-drive has only 25 GB.
    My problem is I want to partition the drive C so that the other player must occupy the space according to my condition.
    But here its only gives me half the space to shrink.
    I mean, when I opened diskmgmt to shrink, C this is 200 GB disk space allotted to me.
    Medium I can use this space to create other partitions, but what I want is, I want to spend 30/40 GB C drive and the remaining space for the creation of other partitions.
    Help, please... Thnks...

    That's what we tried to tell you. An OEM installation does not lend itself to change and having to clear guarantees for re-setup means that you must be quite certain that you have other reliable ways to re-setup.

    If you want to dabble with Linux or dual boot, you should buy a complete commercial edition of Windows 7 that will give you more flexibility and accept that for drivers etc, you're on your own...

  • recovery system after creating a new partition

    Product number: A6Y43UAR #ABA

    Name: HP Pavilion g6-1d38dx Notebook PC

    OS: Windows 7 64-bit

    My hard drive is shipped with a factory setting of 4 primary partitions. I would like to remove one of the partitions in order to create a new primary partition using this guide (jump to option I content):

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-notebook-PC-questions/how-to-REPARTITION-HDD-of-HP-notebook-with-...

    My goal is to create a new partition D where I store all my data so that something happened to my operating system that is on the C drive (viruses, etc.), all my data will be safe in the drive D. I hope that running the system recovery HP (using the f11 key) will not remove the user created the D partition and the data in it , but that's where my confusion. The guide above says the following on this subject:

    "Remember that if you decide to use the recovery discs or the F11 option to restore the PC to its original state, all partitions that have been created by you will be lost and will also lose all data that was stored on them."


    However, another document which is the HP system recovery guide, says the following

    Your computer can have three types of available system recovery, or he might have only two. Use the type of recovery in order to solve your problem without making further changes as necessary.

    If you don't have 3 options in the recovery then Yes, System Recovery Manager will delete all partitions and restore the original configuration.

    To better protect your files an external USB hdd is a good investment of backup. You can also use it to make a System Image of your hard drive that can be used to restore windows and all software/drivers if you need to reinstall. 1 > guide 2 > guide

  • New partition formatting is not possible!

    I use Win7 Pro and that you have a standard installation of toshiba plant. I have reduced the size of my Partition C and you want to create a new 60 GB for my data partition. The free space is 65,43 GB unallocated space directly after the main C (152,38 GB) partition.

    I'm using the standard tool for the management of partitions in Windows Control Panel.

    Every step is behaving normal Nigerian I am trying to format the new partition. The message error is "there is not enough free space on the disk/disks. I tried to format a smaller portion of the free space, IE 1, 5 or 10 GB, but still the same result.

    Anyone with a good idea?

    concerning
    Carpet

    Prior to do any create a recovery media and make backup recovery image. How to do this you can read in the document of the user manuals. It is very important. After having changed the structure of partitions, you can have problems with HARD drive recovery facility, especially if you are trying to format this partition of 10 GB recovery.

    As far as I know, you can reduce the C partition and create the new partition. I tested it today on my machine and everything works fine.

  • Startup BOOTCAMP partition problems

    Hi, I've seen a few posts that are very similar to mine, but I can't seem to get to the bottom of this issue. Here's the background on what happened:

    I ran El Capitan on a single OS X partition and decided to run Boot Camp Assistant and install Windows 10 on a new partition. It worked perfectly, and I have been using Windows and start back. So, I decided that I would create a new partition for easy sharing files between the 2 BONES using a Fat-32 file system so that the two operating systems can have read/write access. I did it with the disk sideways utility Mac and everything seemed to go smoothly. Also, I don't touch my BOOTCAMP partition, but took all the space for the new partition on the side Mac. Everything seemed fine... until I tried to start again under BOOTCAMP. Now this partition is not recognized as bootable, but it is accessible from the side Mac and everything seems intact.

    I ran the command diskutil list and here is the result:

    / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

    #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

    My theory was that because the BOOTCAMP partition moved from 4 to 5, this confused sort of things. I decided that I loved not more to have the shared partition, so I erased it. Then I tried to delete this partition, but I am unable to do by using normal mode or recovery disk utility. I tried to disassemble and then delete in both modes. I scoured the internet looking for a solution and I am completely stuck. This seems like it should be a super simple solution, but it is frustrating that I can't understand it. I don't think that I've damaged or corrupted something and I just need to be able to start in Bootcamp.

    Help, please!

    Thanks in advance!

    Still have not solved this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

    (I just picked up the iMac to a disk fusion problem before installing recently: El Captian is not installed on the part SSD disk fusion after recovery of the internet)

    It's frustrating because I installed Windows 8 successfully via Bootcamp when I received the new iMac earlier.

    When you say that you have formatted your Windows partition, you format you through installation of Windows (2nd screenshot)? To this screen that displays all partitions, you have chosen the one you want to install to and then click on Format for the Windows install process can format NTFS?

    There are two ways to solve this problem. You can use a tool such as Partition Magic to create a new partition. In this case it is not necessary to reinstall the OS.

    Alternatively, you can try to install the OS with RecoveryCD but please use the Expert mode. The way how to do you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&from=search_service_options&FID = tro00000015a5
