d5100t: split 600 GB C: drive into Partitions

Last week, I received a new brilliant d5100t PC desktop with Vista 64-bit Home Premium edition. Everything works great and I am very happy together.

The computer was shipped with a 750 GB SATA hard drive. The installation of the factory this split into two partitions (700 GB C: and D: 11FR) [bringing the numbers]

I want to partition the 700 GB C: into 3 partitions as it's - C: 300, 200 E:, F: 200 GB

I used the logical disk manager coming in Vista to shrink C:. It allowed me to shrink C: 100 GB; 100 GB space that I have renamed as E:. So, now I have.

C: 600 GB, 100 GB, 11 GB D: E:

Vista is not showing me an option to shrink C: further. Perhaps because the partition is used as a swap file. However, in the Task Manager, the file of the page seems to be quite small (about 20 GB or so if I remember correctly, certainly no more than 50 GB). So I don't know why I can't partition the space of 600 GB.

Question

-------------

Is it possible to the C: partition? If so, how?

Thank you

  • Equium M70: Size of what OS on HARD drive and partition of creation

    Hi all
    I reinstalled my os using the provided recovery CD. The new hard drive I'm helping him right now is a WD 120 GB sata drive.

    My question is, what is the normal size of installation on the hard disk for the operating system? Is it possible that 6.98 GB as shown in the C drive properties? Also how can I perform a full reformat on drive C and that in order to partition the hard drive into 2 separate drive?

    Thanks for any help!
    Károly

    The Toshiba Recovery CD contains not only the operating system, but also different applications, driver and utilities. The whole software needs space on the HARD drive and 7 GB is nothing unusual.

    If you want to create multiple partitions on your HARD disk, you do not need to format all of the C drive but you could use a 3rd party software like Partition Magic 8 to create partitions
    This tool is awesome, you can control and manage the partitions very easy.

    Right.

  • Move the Users folder to another drive or partition under Vista 64

    I want to move my full users folder to another drive or partition under Vista 64-bit.

    I found these instructions to do with Windows 7 and confirm that they work very well on a Windows 7 computer I set up yesterday.
    ROBOCOPY, RMDIR, MKLINK programs all exist in Vista and have all the command line switches such as specified in section of Windows 7.
    I want to use junction points as described in the article, rather than messing around with search-and-replace in registry. The use of junction points is cleaner and easier to reverse if I ever need to move the Users back folder to its original location.
    These same instructions for Windows 7 works with Vista 64 bit to move my users folder to a different hard disk or partition?

    Well, I couldn't wait any longer for a response.

    So I gave him a test and Windows 7 instructions work perfectly with Vista 64 - bit word. Hope it will be useful to someone else.

    "" "This applies only to Windows Vista.

    * Make sure that you have backed up your OEM code before deleting the Rugged hidden

    The hidden restore Partition Lenovo is a protected partition, then you will not be able to remove it through disk management as you would with any other normal partition. You can use Diskpart. You can still use these steps to remove the hidden restore partition if you have already done a clean install, but you will need a 3rd party software to combine with the main partition. It is better if you remove the first hidden restore Partition, then cross with a clean install using one of the many guides available on this forum.

    Step 1.
    Burn recovery media. Type "Recovery media" (without the quotes) in the search in the Start Menu. Open the application and follow the instructions.

    Step 2.
    Open the application by typing Diskpart either 'Diskpart' (without the quotes) in the search, or type "Diskpart.exe" in run by pressing Windows key + R.

    Step 3.
    Now with open Diskpart, you must enter the following command lines:

    I. type "list disk" without the quotes and press ENTER.

    II. Type in "select disk 0" and press ENTER.

    III. then type in "list partition" and press ENTER.

    IV. then type in 'select partition x' x = the recovery partition you want to delete (I think it's 1, I do not remember) replace x with the number of recovery partition and press to enter.

    V. finally type in "delete partition override" and press ENTER.

    That should do the trick. Good luck!

  • Satellite A200-28 and his readers HARD drive or partitions

    Hello

    I just wanted to this post that I contacted Toshiba support. So posted on the forum as well, as I was wondering if I could install programs on my D drive and when he did a disk defragment it says I have 3 drives.

    Well apparently, other users who are interested, that's what they said:

    The laptop has only a single disc, but it has divided into 3 partitions, the first is a small 1.46 GB then C and D and you can install programs on the D drive and if there is more than one user on the laptop so each user is limited to a certain amount of space that they can install programs on drive D apparently.

  • Delete/reformat the drive hard partition (s) to activate the operating system reinstall

    I have a HP 2000 2b09wm. He just broke, gives me the error message saying in that I needed a new hard drive. Suppose the old went kaput (even though I bought this pc on eBay not a month or two before). I have a new HD and a Windows 8 reinstall the software from a dealer on eBay. I tried several routes to try to reinstall the OS, resulting in many dead ends *. I asked the dealer to help, but did not get much. The last thing he offered was to remove the partitions in the new HD. I looked at a page eHow, how to remove Partitions on a hard drive. It is said to get a CD which includes fdisk.com. I burned super fdisk (2 MB) of SFbootablecd.iso and fdisk (40 MB) of fd11src.iso. I went into the BIOS to set the boot order. I put the saved first, CD/DVD-ROM internal drive and tried the two CDs. It always starts with just a screen with this:

    Not found boot device
    Please install an operating system on your hard drive
    Hard drive (3F0)
    F2 System Diagnostics
    For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup

    I even tried to put the CD/DVD ROM USB drive first... same results.

    So my questions to you, I guess, is first of all, why the CDs fdisk is not start? I burn the evil fdisk? Second, do you know why my OS couldn't be installed using the software to reinstall? The guy I got it (http://www.ebay.com/itm/181524428825?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) , verified_computer_specialists, has excellent comments, so I guess that the software is legitimate and the computer is actually original with Windows 8.

    Thank you.

    * A couple of the streets:

    Compatibility report - the computer has started using the Windows installation media. Remove the installation media, and then restart your computer so that Windows starts normally. Then, insert the installation media and restart the upgrade. Do not select [Advanced ICustom] I do a upgrade. [Advanced ICustom] I install a new copy of Windows and deletes your programs and settings.

    Another path to the Windows installation, I get this: select the driver to install: browse folder - access the driver and then click OK.
    It gives you the list under 'Computer' which includes "CD drive (E HRM_CCSA_X64FRE_EN-US_DV5)" (resettlement software) and below, support records - sources of boot - efi --.
    Simply choose drive E itself, the message appears: load a driver: no signed device not found driver. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK.

    Enter the BIOS and disable Secure Boot-enable Legacy boot, save & exit. Try to boot again from the disk Win 8.

    My XC-600 get an error 'no boot disk was detected or the drive failed' at startup. In BIOS boot options, under the 'hard drive priority"I can't find not all readers.

I tried all combinations of drives and SATA ports and none of them work for that BIOS recognize the drives or the system would boot. I tested also change the setting of start secure in the BIOS without success.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Probably you have removed the EFI partition (if your BIOS is set to UEFI) or the MBR partition (if your BIOS is set to Legacy/launch MSC).

    When you installed windows 10 on the SSD, it read the EFI partition on the 1 TB HARD drive and now the score disappeared.

  • Trying to second drive hard partition...

    I have two hard drives and you want to remove 1 disk of the computer to use as the single disc on another computer:

    screenshot: http://i43.tinypic.com/4huxxw.jpg

    Disk 0 is the operating system for that computer, and must remain as it is.

    I can't try on partition 1 of disk...

    (1) I want to merge the pale green 4.16 GB of free space with the new Volume 5 (N)

    (2) then, divide the resulting partition into two partitions usable sizes equal

    (3) then, put in shape the 40,56 GB of unallocated in a usable partition space.

    I've got so far with Vista and Paragon Partition Manager Free Edition 2010 disk management but can get no further.

    There are data in DRIVE 2 VACUUM (M) Finally, I would like to keep, but the rest of disc 1 is practically empty.

    Any assistance received with joy.  TIA

    Honestly? If you do want to use partitioning software third the easiest thing is to copy the data you want to keep, and then simply delete all partitions, create those you want, format as you wish. Much faster. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
