  I have windows 7 Ultimate.  I upgraded my SanDisk SSD 960 GB from a HD storage device.  I reloaded windows 7 on SSD.  Once which was finished, I tried to partition the SSD drive in three sections of 310 GB each. I opened the editor/partition Manager Windows and shrink selected by 610 GB SSD.  I couldn't do the frist of 450GB shrink who left the first main drive at about 480 GB.  I know that the numbers add up to 960 GB but it is what has been shown.  I'm not able to reduce the small first partition (C).  What must I do to reduce the first hard drive to a smaller size (windows OS) located on this section?

• Unable to reduce the virtual disk (Linux RHE 5.4) with converter standalone 4.0.1

  I recently did a V2V with VMware Converter 4.0.1 to move a virtual machine running Linux Red Hat Enterprise VMware Server 2.0 on ESX 3.5 5.4.

  I was surprised to be unable to change the size of the partition. I have a 20 GB partition but only 3 GB is used. So I would reduce it to have a 5 GB partition.

  How can I change the size of partition? I know with Windows, it works well, why with Linux can not do the same?

  Thank you

  Olivier

  Found that in the Manual:

  Limitations of VMware Converter STandalone according to the OS you run the converter on:

  If you run:

  • Windows Server 2003

  • Windows XP

  • Windows Vista

  • Windows Server 2008

  Here are the limitations:

  • Disk cloning only for Linux clients.

• Disk management does not allow me to partition the unused space

  When I was installing windows I deleted my primary partition and an extended partition. I wanted to consolidate the space in a larger primary partition, but the installer would not consolidate the unused space, there were a multitude of unused space in each partition, I hit refresh, I have sailed on the installation and then headed in disk management again and still no dice. But it allows me to create a primary partition, but not a different scope, so I figure wrong install and try again, but within windows, still no dice. The only option available for this space is 'create new simple volume', I can walk through and get ready to create, but when I hit ok on the last window I get an error "There is not enough free space on the disk to complete this operation" if I put it to the maximum or minimum size, I get the same error.

  Is it possible to go back on my partition? or I'll have to scrounge something like partition magic and forget trying to do with windows?

  Hi Devarian,

  Thanks for the replies.

  When you want to extend a partition, for example the primary partition that you have installed on Windows 7, you should right click on the partition and select EXTEND the VOLUME.  Windows look for free space and give you a reading of how much free space is available to extend the volume of.

  Are you right click on the main partition or free space?

  Thank you

• New SSD is not showing in disk management, but does in the BIOS

  I just got a brand new CS1311 PNY 240 GB SSD at Amazon, and I hooked all with Y Molex connector and plug the sata cable in the third free port.  I went to format and partition so I can start adding games, but it does not appear.  I then stopped and went into the BIOS and it turns out that there is in the third SATA port.  But not in disk management.  Any ideas?  The third SATA port is not intended for a storage drive?  Should I change the SSD in ports SATA and the blu - ray player?  Manufacturing of blu - ray 3 instead of 2 port and the port of the SSD 2 instead of 3?

  I'm not trying to install windows on it or start with him, I just format and partition.  I want to just use it for games.  Any help would be appreciated.

  I have it.  Change port SATA worked.

• Satellite L300D - I can reduce the second partition?

  I recently received this new laptop, and I'm happy with it.

  However, I am puzzled by the partition available to it. It has a score of 74 GB (c) and a 73 GB partition (E);. C: is the partition with the operating system on and E: has 5 GB of HDDRecovery. I was wondering why this recovery partition is so great, and if it is necessary to have this great.

  Should I reduce the minimum 5 GB partition or leave it as it is?

  Thank you in advance to all.

  Hello!

  The HARD drive on the second partition recovery folder to your laptop factory settings and so it has a capacity of 5 GB. The image in this folder contains the operating system (Vista), all the drivers and tools.
  Here's how you can use this option of saving the document a Toshiba:

  So in your case I would not reduce the 5 GB partition.

• My e-machine computer broke down and I'm unable to access the recovery partition. How can I reinstall my operating system?

  I have an emachines el1200-07w that crashed. It has windows Vista Home Basic. I can not access the recovery partition and emachines has no recovery for this model CD. can someone help me?
  original title: windows vista problem

  Hello

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  As happened with eMachines, you may have to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  See you soon.

• Unable to get the drive partition 3 letter

  So, I decided to reformat my Acer Travelmate with Vista Home premium as my operating system. Went to access Acer eManagent (?) in my pc and start from there. After hitting the 'restore' tab, he started doing fitness, or so I think. But for some reason, I found myself in a software to screen a message "failed to get the DriveLetter partiton 3" with an "OK" tab at the bottom. So that the process continues back to this message after clicking on the tab OK. worse, it won't even boot into Windows when I tried to do. I'm always looking for my recovery disk, which I think that I did not or not. The only measure that I did to remedy that, I think would be useful is I took off the battery and press the power for 30 seconds, but nothing helped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Contact Acer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $
