Drive hard partition

Hello, I would like to create a decent size on my hard drive partition.  Disk Manager pays 75% of free space on the OS (C :).  But when I start the process of "shrink volume" (to create open space for my new partition), the dialog box shows ONLY 238 MB are available for narrowing of a total 228 112 MB.  I am confused and I would be grateful for any help.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Satellite U400-22z - how to remove the HARD drive recovery partition

    Hallo,

    My satellite u400-22z came with a big "hdd recovery" folder on the drive hard - yes I know what it does.
    but the unbearably awful version of windows vista that came with the machine made me decide that, in the event of failure of the system, I'm still will not install this failure of the attempt of an operating system.
    So I do not have these data recovery.

    So those ~ 11 GB of junk sitting on my drive is bugging me, I can't delete the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

    How can I work around that?

    Also, is it safe or can I make it safe, to use the small apparently hidden partition (that's recovery also?) I found, which is IIRC ~ 2 GB or larger, for own purposes, without destroying my current installation of windows?

    Thanks in advance,
    Steve

    Hello

    If you have a recovery disk and you do not want to store the folder in hard drive hard disk recovery, you can remove it.

    > I can't remove the folder HDDRecovery, it is somehow protected against deletion.

    Remove you it as you always do to remove all files on your system.

    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.

    IM in the process of upgrading to vista 32-bit Ultimate edition - a Lenovo T61 laptop OS original vista home, comes with HARD 160 GB but only show 110 GB disk.
    There is the hidden for drive recovery partition. now, I've wanted this disk recovery partition removed for more space for important files of video editing.

    the INF chipset utilitty downloaded from the Lenovo Web site, and then installed some drivers downloaded - and all in perfect condition smooth running.

    now, I decided to remove that hidden partition containing the disk recovery - whatever happens after that, I have the recovery CD.

    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!

  • Maxtor One Touch 4 Mini external hard drive not partitioned by Windows 7 PC

    I have a Maxtor One Touch 4 Mini external hard drive that has been formatted to originally a Windows XP computer. I have a new computer that uses the Windows 7 operating system. The drive hard Maxtor are not accessible by the new computer. Although the new computer reconizes the device by its name, the Maxtor Manager window displays the score as 'unknown '. Maxtor/Seagate technical support said that I need to move the files from the old external hard drive Maxtor on a new Seagate, external drive, using a Windows XP computer. Is there another easier way?

    Hello

    The Windows 7 Compatibility Center shows that the Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini is compatible with Windows 7.
    However, given that it is a product of the 3 part, you go by what the Seagate support said.
    You can send this link on the OneTouch 4:

  • Use iMac drive HARD internal for storage only.

    I initialize my iMac to an external SSD. It makes my computer run faster. How can I completely wipe the drive HARD internal of my iMac and use it as a storage only?

    This isn't a big problem, except one. Apple does not support this method as a permanent solution. However, you have an iMac of 2012. I have a Mac Mini from 2012. I used a 1 to LaCie Thunderbolt Rugged HD to do this thing very via the Thunderbolt port. It worked very well for a while. Personally, I started my primary internal HD for OS X and the LaCie Thunderbolt as external storage. For reasons of registration and so on. Recovery of the Internet, as well. I have not found any major difference in the "boot speed" between internal or external HD. I upgraded the RAM of 4 GB to 16 GB all. and BAM!

    My HD Thunderbolt is partitioned as a time Capsule (1st partition bootable) and Mac Storage (2nd partition). The choice is yours, of course.

    Bravo!

  • IS does not recognize the drive HARD internal

    I have three, all from a school lab, that have been linked with other positive points and printers.

    They are connected are not together anymore.

    All three have a floppy drive and a HARD drive. Will only boot from the HARD drive.

    At startup, the other two do not recognize their HARD drive and I use ea disk with the system in this regard.

    Since hard drives are not 'seen' I am unable to do anything with them: fix, set up as a boot drive, etc.

    They begin with the usual chimes and the Mac with the question mark, I slip the disk in and they complete commissioning.

    The internal drive spin up and the indicator light flashes.

    They do not show the drive HARD internal on the screen, but will show an external.

    I haven't started to swap parts between the good and the other two.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to activate an invisible HARD drive?

    You will need to use the boot floppy disks to start the machines to run the repair disk, partition and format the HARD drive if it is still functional. Only then can you install Mac OS on the HARD drive. That's all that I remember.

  • Satellite C660 - Missing drive HARD Toshiba Assistant

    Hey ive got a C660 here,
    So my sister installed windows 8 and deleted the original partition of windows 7 and now she wants to return to windows 7, but each time she press F8 and go to "repair my computer" Disk Recovery Wizard hard toshiba is there no more. How can I get that back? The HARD drive recovery partition is still there, though. Any ideas?

    See you soon.

    HARD drive recovery facility works with the factory only settings. After installing Win8 it will no more work. Recovery image can be on the HARD disk, but it is not possible to start HARD recovery disk image installation.

    Only way to reinstall the recovery image is the use of recovery DVDs. I assume that your sister didn't he create in the past. Now she has to order recovery of https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx original DVDs
