Easy way to re - partition a hard drive? and not lose everything?

Last year I got a virus on my laptop, I contacted Microsoft technical support to remove the virus.  We had to reimage my hard drive, tech had me create two partitions.  Now the 1st partition (c) is complete, I can combine the two disks (C: and D :) without losing all my software and data?)

In Windows 7, it might be possible, you can try:

  • partitioning my hard drive and put windows 7 on the new partition

  • How can I keep my messages or folder on my local hard drive and not be an IMAP folder as local folder is

    I was a little confused on the way Thunderbird handles the local folder. My local folder is not strictly local, but IMAP as my account records. I would like to be able to unload some of my old files on my hard drive and have them always accessible via Thunderbird. The question becomes greater now that I use a lot of server space, and since this is a business account that I would rather not remove them. I want to archive them. I tried archive but it is just another IMAP folder and so is my local files. Initially, I found having the local convenient IMAP folders because I could file emails from multiple email addresses into common folders and easily get to them via my PC or my laptop because they are IMAP.
    All I want to do now is to archive some of my old emails, so they are no longer on the server. How can I do to make it. I thought it should be an easy thing but now after having spent a few hours looking for a solution and finding I'm frustrated. Everything I've read suggests that the local folder should be stored on my hard don't drive not the server, but this isn't my experience.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I use Thunderbird 24.3)

    In fact, even if I go on once again, I'm more invested in what happens with IMAP and used space.
    It is obvious, from some recent exchanges here records them are "local."

    In the account settings > server settings.
    Check cleaning (": Remove") is turned on and then exit and restart Thunderbird.

    Then check your use of space on the server, after that Thunderbird and the server took a while to 'chat '.

    My guess as to what is happening, is that the IMAP account is not erasing, so deleted mail is there, stay hidden because it is removed but continues to occupy the space.

  • I want to backup my emails on my hard drive and not on my service provider site. Can you whan which setting I have to change for this?

    I get an error message that I have reached my quota of email. I think that my emails are saved on the server Time_warner and not on my hard drive. Wharton setting I have to change to save my e-mail address on my hard drive?

    Thank you.

    I looked on the Tools menu, click account settings, and then you click Server settings. Type of server has mail POP server name server pop - server.socal.rr.com.

    Looks like I was saying to Thunderbird to save messages on the server. I'll turn off and clean my server from Time Warner.

    Thank you for your help.

  • How to recover windows system when it is destroyed hard drive and not COA?

    I'm sure that many people have encountered this problem. My system, including hard drive, was destroyed by an electrical surge, and I had no record of the serial number of the product.  I had a valid installation of Win XP - How can I get a new number to use for my replacement system?

    The answer depends on many factors that you don't specify.  Most of the OEM machines (Dell, HP, Compaq, etc.) have an OEM license that is valid for the first machine that it has been installed on.  If your motherboard was part of the 'system' that has been fried, your license was probably fried with it.  Some OEM licenses are locked to the BIOS of the motherboard so that if you replace the motherboard by the same jury from the same manufacturer, then the original installation disc can recognize it and install Windows XP without even asking for authentication.

    And it is this:

    Otherwise, you might consider this a good time to upgrade to Windows 7.

  • 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.

  • Can I have - 2 operating system installed and running in two partitions of hard drive to my desktop computer?

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (a copy of the license), preloaded in my office by DELL from 20/02/2007. Before that from July 2002, I was with Windows XP Professional Pack 1 with fireplace (a copy of the license of the version DT. 25 October 2001). Because I have to go to another State for a new job, I gave the IBM Office to my friend. But the CD with operating system Windows XP pack1 is lying idle with me. I want to install the same in another partition of the hard disk to present Desktop DELL. I have partitioned my hard drive in the goal - C:\ and D:\. Now, I want to know, before you proceed further - is my scheme is feasible? The two O.S. will work in two separate partitions with regularly updated? I visited the "historical update file" and I noticed that Windows XP Professional Pack2 and Pack3 has been downloaded one installed in the system. I will give you more time using Windows XP Professional if loaded correctly in D:\ because it is more compatible with my professional needs. I invite suggestions from my learned friends.

    Thanking you in advance,

    This is the link I gave you.

    And I have no problerms getting there.

    Www.syschat.com you give links to their chat rooms.

    On an XP Pro disk, you need to ask a computer repair workshop all the copies they might have. Microsoft sells more XP

    Here is another link to dual boot Vista and XP:

    http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_vista_and_xp_with_vista_installed_first__the_stepbystep_guide.htm

    There are options there for dual boot the other way around.

    And you don't always tell where you downloaded it from the files of XP SP1 or why you have them as asked me to.

    See you soon.

  • How to partition the hard drive

    Hi, anyone knows how to disable partition the hard drive? Getting sick of the transfer of information between C: and E: Paulette

    Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management.

    Do right click on E a remove it. After that, you should be able to enlarge C with right click and choose the option of not. But you'll have to save files on E first, so as not to lose them.

    If this does not work for any reason, you will still be able to use 3rd programs like partition magic. I've used several times and I am very happy with it.

  • Partition on HARD drive disappeared after formatting using the product recovery disc

    My laptop came with a partitioned hard drive C and D drives.

    After formatting my hard drive using the recovery disk of the supplied product with my computer, I don't have any option to partition the HARD drive, only for the 1. 46 GB for some recommended backup, and the remainder became the C drive.
    D drive disappeared. Now, when I put the USB ant in my laptop, it reads as D drive.
    Can you please help, I need to have my hard drive partitioned into C and D drives, and flash memory can be any subsequent letter.

    Hello Richard

    Is it so complicated to tell us which model of laptop you have exactly?
    Anyway, when you use recovery Toshiba you cannot lose score. After using the recovery media, you'll have to factory settings and the structure of the HARD disk will be the same as on the first day.
    Something like that is definitely not possible.

    > I don't have no option to partition the HARD disk
    This option doesn't exist. On some older models of laptops, just an option to set up the first score ability there.
    After the first start, you can go to disk management and activate the second partition. All that s!

    Please tell me what model of laptop have you then I can tell you more about the partitions.
