• delete a partition on my hard drive that was originally set up by the manufacturer as a backup drive hard to label.

  I hope I am posting this on the forum,

  I want to delete a partition on my hard drive that was originally set up by the manufacturer as a backup drive hard to label.

  I went into computer management console & know that the primary partition - drive C system, boot, pagefile, active lists, dump incident & main partition in brackets but I don't know about the virtual memory paging file. No, there is some data on it. I've been saving the other partition - C drive on an external hard drive.

  I know that I have to back up this data but where I should come back to? And why is it called (Primary Partition) when it is used only as a return to the top by car?

  I'm only wanting to do because I'm running out of space on my drive C & D drive are the same size! 143 GB & 139.5 GB

  Hello

  D: is not a partition backup of your machine.

  Acer has a time set up their machines to the way yours is:

  They had a C: drive for the operating system, a drive D: for data (music, movies, etc you would like to register and a recovery partition 'hidden' to reinstall the operating system and to make the recovery discs to do the same thing.)

  You can merge C: and D: as a whole, BUT save all data on D: first because it will be deleted when you merge.

• Delete the partition created in reformatting/reinstall for A50

  Then when I got my Toshiba Satellite A50, he had no partition that I knew of, just a drive C with XP installed on it. But the disk that it came with to reformat the hard drive and reinstall XP is creating a partition!

  So it's not the original or set up installation I've had... I have an external hard drive, I don't want a partition.

  How can I delete the partition? I'm ready to completely reformat the entire hard drive again, but if so, how do I that?

  The Toshiba CD doesn't really give me a prompt to go reformatting the hard drive me...

  The other annoying, that of my C drive is NTFS, but the disc creates a drive NTFS and FAT32 other... too... which is really scary, is when the Toshiba disk loads, it says "loading Windows 98"... to my understanding of my laptop NEVER had 98 on it... I pray that this is not a 98 - xp upgrade. It seems that someone gave me the wrong drive with my laptop computer?

  Or am I worrying over nothing?

  Hello Lou

  Believe me worry for nothing! Please don t be confused about W98 loading message. The unit starts in DOS mode and it's the same as on W98.

  Now step by step explanation: I did the procedure of recovery many times and have a little experience with it.

  When starts, CD recovery menu displays with two options: modes of STANDARD facilities and EXPERT. STANDARD mode simply erase the whole HARD drive and creates one partition (the whole HARD disk capacity) for the installation of the OS.
  EXPERT mode should be used if you want to install the operating system on already created partition or if you want to create a new partition for the installation of the OS. Note You can create only the first partition it (C :) and you can not edit already created the partition.)

  In my opinion, it is always good to have two partitions, one for the operating system and installation and a second for recording data. You might not always drive external HARD with you. If something is wrong at any time, you can install the OS on the first partition without losing the data stored on the other.

  Anyway, to start the recovery procedure and choose the recovery STANDARD (option 1) procedure. The whole HARD drive will be formatted and Os will be installed on a partition.

  Bye and if you have any other questions please write again.

• How to make the partitions using the toshiba restore CD

  Hi forum users. I just want to explain more on creating partitions using our Toshiba Recovery CD. I have a portable satellite A50-101.

  I searched some topics on this forum and found this post from Quad. Just follow these steps carefully and you'll be successful to make the partitions on your hard drive.

  Here is the message by Quad.
  ######################
  Hi forum users

  If anyone of you needs an accurate description of installation of operating system using Expert mode, maybe this can help you.

  When the recovery process has begun there are menu where you can choose between two modes of installation.
  1 standard mode
  2. expert mode

  At first he put there important warning: all data stored on your computer will be lost. It is also important that hollow a Standard installation partition will be created and all data on the hard drive will be lost.

  If you want to install the operating system on a partition, please use Expert mode. In this case, the software can be installed on an existing partition. Alternatively, you can make one by yourself.

  If you want to make a partition with a set capacity, please do it on this path:

  1. choose number 2 Expert mode pressing
  2 approve OK key ENTER
  3. choose LOCAL > DISK > image
  4. look in: must be selected for the CD-ROM drive
  In the Middle window choose GHO file and press ENTER
  5. using the TAB key you must mark the player information and so on and press ENTER
  6. using TAB button again part brand of window average (blue line) and with SPACE activate new dimension box
  7. place inside the new size of the partition and press ENTER again
  8. the question to continue with load disc? confirm with OK

  I hope this can help you to make the desired partition size.

  Good bye
  ######################

  At step 6 above, enter the size of the partition you want. Size must be entered in megabytes (MB), gigabytes (GB). (mine is 40 GB HDD, i.e. 38146. I go to half, 19073)
  Proceed with the disk load? Click OK.

  It will now recover your machine to its factory setting. 2 partitions will be made.

  Once the restore is complete, open my computer. You'll see only drive Local (c) on hard drives. Click on properties and you will see that the size that you specified in step 6 above (20 GB). So, where's my other 20 GB? It is a way to treat 2 to make a new logical drive.

  Hi 012

  Thank you very much for your posting. I forgot to mention that the logical drive must be created because the unusable space do not appear by Windows.

• Help to remove the partition on a hard drive and data recovery

  I have two hard drives in my PC, the C: drive is 80 GB, and the F: drive is 120 GB.  The second drive (120 GB) is divided into two partitions.  I just deleted the partitions and makes the hard drive again in a single disc, however I had some important files on the F: drive that I thought I had copied to the C: drive but they are not there.  Is there anyway that is using the software I can return the drive to two drives and recover my data, please help

  Hello

  First of all, do not use the hard drive. This can make things sunk. A few things may already be unrecoverable. I would even delete the drive letter to stop inadvertently automated processes to use.

  There are two ways I can think of.

  1. buy a partitioning software disk that supports the undelete partition. On windows XP PartitionMagic was a very good product if symantec will still sell it. Given that Symantec has continued to develop, I had to switch to product partition Paragon. Sound was trash to some things, cloning in particular a double boot with loads of partitions - it has an undelete function which I didn't use. The fact that you have created a new partition could mean that the restoration may not work. You may need to delete the current, probably empty, partition everything first and then perform the restoration.

  2. buy a data recovery software that will scan the hard drives, including the unpartitioned space. I chose R-Studio and it was very good stuff even recovery from hard drives that fail. It was not 100% effective, but it is perhaps down to the severity of failure rather than the product. In situations like yours, it was very effective.

  Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

• Impossible to delete the partitions or format C

  I have a mobile shadow Smart Power (a special Aldi 2004), which comes with no hidden restore disc, but it has a much utility and disk etc. drive OEM drive.  I need to reformat C and reinstall XP Home... nothing seems to work - after surfing several hours for a reply and try to all the ones I found!  I can not get an option to format using disk management, because it is grayed out, and if I use the disc provided as a boot disk, I can't delete the partition as it says that it is in use / mounted.  Can anyone help please... as I suspect that the XP disc resembles C and just by looking at him, he believes that it is in use, so it will not let me delete the partition or format C.  I don't know how to get around this problem with the discs that I have... and experience tells me that shadow are desperate for assistance to the user, so there is probably no point of contact with them.

  All I can understand about shadow is that it was an Austrian company which has since been bought by a Taiwanese company and has almost no information available online support (although there seems to be quite expensive telephone support lines).

  You cannot remove or format the system partition (the one where Windows) of Windows.  This is why there are bootable CD installation/restoration of the system, the idea being that if you run with an operating system on the CD, you can do what you like on the hard drive.

  Your drive "OEM", is supposed to be a system restore disk or just a collection of software and drivers?

  If it is a restore disk, when you start from it, it should just restore the computer to its original state, or at least give you an option to do so.

  Can you describe the screens that appear when you start from your OEM drive?

• DELETE THE PARTITION

  I've got 2 hardrives installed on my HP Pavilion DV8T. I'm trying to reformat the second drive, which is an old hard drive from an old HP. As such, it has two partitions. I managed to format the partitions, but I am trying to delete the partition smaller recovery and for some reason it wont let me. I tried Paragon Partition Manager, and it keeps telling me to reboot to complete the operation, my pc restarts and crashes on a screen with a bunch of code that I don't recognize. Can someone tell me exactly how to delete this partition?

  And why HP makes so friggin hard to access the system you paid the money? I know what I'm doing with my computer in general. I am so sick and tired of having to work around the system locks because HP has decided to stop me from having full access and control over my hardware and software. It's extremely aggravating.

  No, I tried to delete the partition of secondary recovery off HD 1, leaving only partition with all the readers of free space it contains.  One of my friends showed me that I had to use the windows itself, Disk Manager program because Windows 7 was blocking Paragon Partition Manager to access the drive. Once, I deleted the partition with program management built-in drive to W7, the free space immediately added to the other partition on the disk.

  Simply go to control panel and use the built-in in Windows 7 itself drive management utility. I formatted both partitions on HD 1 and then deleted the second smaller partition. This free space of the partitions has been added to the main partition and HD works correctly since.

• Help, please.  Need to delete the partition.

  I searched a lot and do not know that I find what I need.

  I have a MBP with OS x 10.6.8.  I'm under VMWare Fusion 2.0.8.  I used to use it for work, but now can log on my work computer at home and have not run the Windows partition in over a year.  My HD had inflated and has only 7 GB free.  I want to delete the partition in VMWare so that OS x can use this 15 GB.

  I found this set of instructions to search for the file in the finder:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & ocTypeID d = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 1007599

  And this instruction set seems to indicate I should just drag the file from the finder to the Trash:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = Display KC & externalId = 1017838

  And then I'll have access to this part of the HD.

  I'm on the right track?

  Thanks in advance for any help

• OK to delete the Partition of "Recovery" on XPS 8700

  XPX 8700

  Win 7 64 bit

  RE: Remove the Partition "Recovery."

  I use no Dell DataSafe. There is a partition "recovery" on the boot drive takes about 8% of disk space total and this 'recovery' of 8% partition, about 40% of the space is used. The "recovery" partition has a drive letter assigned to it.

  I want to reclaim that space. I guess that the "recovery" partition is part of the Dell DataSafe. I would like to uninstall Dell DataSafe and delete the "recovery" partition and add that disk space.

  Question: Can I uninstall Dell DataSafe and delete the partition "recovery." I've never used Dell DataSafe. Can someone tell me which takes 40% of the score "recovery"?

  Thank you

  Hi rlsajs,

  Is it a custom computer or pre-built as a HP, Dell, etc. ?
  Is your USB keyboard? If so, you may need to enable "bios powered" usb in the BIOS of your computer.
  By default, many computers are set to "Operating System" controlled USB which means that your keyboard does not work entirely until Windows has started, and you need it to work before Windows started as you go through the Setup for a new installation.
  Hope this helps and answer back with questions. If you need help getting into the BIOS of your system you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
