drive external drive formatted in 2 drives-like shaped as 1

I have an external hard drive that a little while back I partitioned and divided into 2 discs.  I use it to backup purposes these days.  I want to reformat the drive in 1 drive.  Is this possible and how do I do it?

Save what's already out there first. Then, you can go into Control Panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management. Here, you can remove the 2nd partition, and then extend the 1st one to take the entire space.

    Windows 8 is a feature called storage spaces, where you can plug in a bunch of hard drives and have it show like big disk (so 4 250 GB drives would be present as a single 1 TB drive).

    OS X has this feature?

    Nope.

  • load a second XP on my computer and then deleted. now my HDD has been split into disc 1 and disc 2 (not partitioned - split) any IDE on how to recover the drive like one?

    • Had a non legitimate copy of xp so I bought a legitimate copy and tried to load it on the former, but he wouldn't.
    • My computer is configured to dual boot with win98, then from 98, I loaded xp.
    • I thought that maybe if I started 98 then loaded the new xp from there he would charge ok. Which he did. But being the dummy that I am does not he would not recognize one of my other programs that have been installed in the old XP. So in my frustration I just deleted it (I don't think I uninstalled it for some reason any) in any case, I found that I could load some codes from microsoft that allowed me to get into the new xp on my old xp product code and it worked fine.
    • However, when I looked at my hard drive I have now disc 1 with 98 and xp on disc 2 (which is the majority of my 400 gig drive) with nothing on it.
    • I tried partition magic, but it won't do anything because it is not a partition.

    According to your post, it sounded to me like you've had an idea about the console recovery.
     
    Here are the steps.  also run a disk check while add you it:
     
    you start the computer with the xp cd you have.
     
    then in the first screen, select R for repair.
     
    This will then start the recovery console.
     
    at the disc prompt, run the following commands >:
     
    CHKDSK c: /r
    bootcfg /rebuild
    Fixboot
     
    then the output, remove cd and you should be able to start in the original installation.
     
    either by the way, when you run bootcfg he might ask you for information.  everything you enter can always be changed later via Notepad.
     
    In addition, if you receive an error message following on the master boot record, and then run the command again via the recovery console fixmbr.
     
    Finally, you mentioned the creation of another drive.  It is perhaps a good thing, but it depends on how much space you will be assigned to the.
     
    If after you start, check the disk space for each drive and let us know what they are. Ok?

  • All showing them Flash drives like HARD drive in vSAN 6 - Full vSAN Datastore

    I built my vSAN6 lab and added the ESXi hosts nested to it.  the drives are displayed as Flash (SSD active and active flash capcacity) but when I add them to the cluster of vSAN and try to create groups of disks appear as disk HARD ordinary (screenshots)

    How can I get vSAN to recognize disks like flash (SSD)

    Since the beginning of the vsan sofware, we introduced the diskgroup concept

    where a diskgroup consists of layers of flash and ability. level Flash was SSD and ability level HARD drive in the case of the hybrid

    To prevent that coherent and simpler for all the flash, we have introduced the concept of additional promotion SSD at the level of the ability. but still the initial requirement to have 1 SSD assigned for the flash layer is a must

    So what you have to do in your case is

    keep 1 SSD for the layer flash without their promotion to the level of ability. You can delete the rule ATAS

    use esxcli vsan storage tag to remove the capacityFlash for one of the SSD drive (as shown in the connection of cormac)

    that will fix your configuration

  • Cannot copy a virtual machine to a hard drive external

    Hi all

    I tried to make a copy of my Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm from my Mac OS X (10.5.6) my WD My Passport. I get the following error: "sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error has occurred. (Error code 0) »

    I am able to reproduce the VM in the same directory as the existing virtual machine but I can't copy it externally. I did ensure that VMware Fusion is not running in the background and I stopped him before doing so. I also deleted the application folder within the contents of the package as VM ordered in another post that is bad to copy.

    I upgrade the latest version of VMWare Fusion and also upgraded the virtual machine so everything should be updated.

    I don't really know what else to do, and honestly, I'm a little scared because I want to have a backup and also I'm moving to a new laptop and don't want to have to reinstall everything.

    Thank you

    Is your external drive formatted as a FAT drive or Mac OS extended.

    If it's a FAT format drive (like most out-of-the-box USB drives), then a second question: you selected the option to create floppy disks to the virtual machine with the option "divided into 2 GB files?

    If this is not the case, this explains the problem. FAT formatted disks are limited to a maximum individual file of 4 GB size. Files Mac OS merger creates home that the virtual disk will be more often be larger than if you do not choose the option of split disk.

    If this is the case, you have one of two choices:

    (1) reformat the USB (with Mac disk utility) as a Mac OS Extended format disc. Once you do this, all data currently on the drive will be lost and you will not be able to use the drive with Windows.

    or

    (2) convert the virtual machine disk to 'divide into 2 GB files'. With the Fusion 2.x, you can do so directly from the virtual machine settings. Then you should be able to copy the VM on your USB.

  • external hard drive partition copy

    I have an external hard addrtiion to my computer.  I have a disc managerment that allows me to copy partitions.  If I copy the partion on my internal hard drive and stick it in my outside, is that I gave two fully functional WIndows XP now. If Windows crashes I'll be able to start on the external hard drive?

    And even ewrase and reformat the drive internal and copy the my external hard drive4 patition.   Indeed, never lose Winows XP and all my programs installed again?   Or is it simply a desire that can really be achieved.

    Your program has the ability to create a partition bootable (what is the name of the program)?
    If your program has the ability to clone, then this is the way to go if you want just an exact replacement for your internal drive, if a problem occurs catastrophic. A better option would be an imaging program that allows you to create images of your internal drive like this at some point. In this way, if you have a regular image, say twice a month, so you can fit maybe three or four images on the same drive that you want to clone in. A cloned disk must be the same size or larger that the drive is cloned. An image is compressed and takes less space.

    Hi EdDell,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    This would happen if the computer is infected by virus or malware infections.

    I suggest that you scan and remove any malware or computer virus infections and check if it works.

     

    The scan below only works on the 32-bit version of Windows

  • Cannot rename personal folders on external drive

    I have an external drive WD Passport that I keep my personal files. After having a virus deleted, I find that I can not rename one of my files due to the read-only attribute being degraded.  I am running Windows XP Home Edition.  I tried to restart in Mode safe and by changing the attributes it - didn't work.  I tried to change the attributes by using the command prompt - did not work.  I need to get this shady read-only out of my files so they can be renamed.  Any ideas?

    I'm sorry that apparently you won't believe me - or Microsoft.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326549

    Other things to try/test. I don't know if you have tried these things or not.

    1. are you able to rename the files/folders on a drive different from the system external hard? If not, then maybe some infection had damaged you Windows files. If this is the case, then you can try the (sfc/scannow) System File Checker or a repair installation, or do a clean installation of Windows. There is no way for me to know the exact state of your computer from here, or what would be best for you to do.

    2. can you rename the files/folders on the hard disc of origin if it is attached to another computer? If Yes, the problem points to your original operating system is damaged by the virus. If not, then the virus probably damaged files on the external hard drive. It is not uncommon, especially if you have been infected by a kind of ransomware. Again, I have no way of knowing that you have been infected.

    3. If you can rename the files/folders on a different hard disk, you can also try to move the data off the external problem, formatting and see if you can rename the files now.

    And that's all I have. Good luck in your efforts. I have nothing else to add about this.
