EL Capitan - impossible to resize the partition in disk utility

• How could resize this partition in disk utility? (see image)

  I want to resize the partition selected, but I can't drag it to the bottom.  Any way to resize?

  

  Your screen capture, you must delete the partition OSX 10.9. The space would be free and you can then develop your OS x 10.10 partition or create a new one from the free space. The only one of these two who seem to be able to resize is the OSX 10.9 partition because it has the grab bar (lower-right) and free space further to slide down.

• Cannot start Bootcamp, after you have added the partition using disk utility

  My question is similar with repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition.

  recently I install the el capitan + windows 7 (using bootcamp), everything works fine after I add the third partition. (I anticipate the third partition will be use for dropbox, for mac and windows can sync-ing a dropbox for each folder).

  After I've done the third partition and restart the system, I want OPTION and found no windows.

  My mbp spec:

  MD101 2012 13 ",

  16 GB RAM,

  elcapitan OS x + windows 7 ultimate.

  Thank you

  Can you post the output of the following commands in OSX Terminal?

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.

• Can not resize the partition on the Satellite A100-998

  Hello
  I am owner of toshiba satellite A100-998 with 200 GB hard drive. By default there is only 1 partition on the HARD drive when I try to resize this partition and create another 8 partition magic shows me error that it cannot write to the boot sector and it fails. I didn't install any software on this computer and it has the latest version of the bios.

  Ranish partition Manager displays the same error.
  I don't know what the problem is because I've done similar operations on multiple computers with all the problems.

  Thanks in advance for any suggestions

  Hello

  I also use the magic of 8 Partitions for creating and management of simple partitions on the HARD disk.
  But I wonder about the size of your HARD drive. As I know the Partitions Magic 8 does not support 200 GB HARD drive. I didn t to test but the partitions on the manufacturing site manual says it does not support.

  However, sometimes, I had similar problems with my 80 GB HARD drive. The simple solution was to defragment single partitions.

  I put t know if it will help you because of you HARD drive size, but you can try it.

• Cannot resize the partition to the desired size?

  I'm trying to resize a partition in the C drive of 15 GB and another one to 15 GB. However it gives me a value of maximum shrinkage of 8160 MB. I started to have only a maximum reduction of 79 MB value, but after disabling the system restore, run the Disk Cleanup Wizard, and the deactivation of page files I was able to get to 8160 MB. I have a 289 GB HDD with 137 GB free. I don't understand why it's only allowing me to reduce approximately 8 GB since I was 137 GB free. Any ideas?

• I resized the Partition Mac to make more space for BootCamp and now Windows will not boot

  On a collague MacBook Air running 10.11.4, we used disk utility to reduce the Mac Partition so that we could then use a Windows tool to extend the BootCamp partition. However, upon restart, we got a BACK screen with the error that Windows cannot start because it cannot find the boot device.

• How to resize the partition on Portege M400?

  I tried Paragon Partition manager (bootCD).
  But when I loaded CD, Partition manager does not see the hard drive of my Portege M400
  Are there special drivers or software to perform this task?

  Are you using Vista or XP OS?

  If you are using Vista OS, you can change the size of partition n disk management
  Simply reduce the existing partition and then create a new free space or simply add the free space to another partition.

  If you are using the XP I would recommend using the tool called Partition Magic 8.

• Impossible to split the partition not visible is (C) to a new system - 4 primary partitions

  Hello

  TL; Dr. I'm probably stuck with 4 primary partitions (two WINRE, EFI and (C), and unable to split C on an installation DVD HP fresh system.

  320 HARD drive failed on my G6 2233 HP laptop. I have fitted a replacement for 500 GB and does the following:

  • installed Windows 8 from the HP System Recovery DVD (provided by HP, not recorded by me, new facility)
  • deleted partition recovery with HP Recovery Manager
  • installed all the updates of Windows 8, and updates HP Support Assistant
  • upgrade to 8.1 Windows
  • installed all the updates for Windows 8.1 and updates HP Support Assistant

  Went to the system partition tool, see 4 primary partitions created...

  

  At this point, I was not aware, this can be a problem. I tried to split C as seen on the image. Has not been able to define the desired values (max stood at about two of equal size, because of ummovable files), but this was nothing new for me - on the previous 320 HARD drive that I met the same problem, I could (but COULD) make two of 14xGB were leaving.
  Here I wanted to 120 GB and GB 344.
  Anyway, even with different values I have a mistake in the next step, claiming that it has no place on the HARD drive.

  So I decided to try the EasyUS software, as it has helped me in the past.
  First screen is without any intervention (there are a bunch of weird music here, all created by HP software/operating system).

  
  I could choose to reduce the size of the partition, but the ability to create from unallocated space was not active.

  

  I'm confused. If I'm not mistaken, I shouldn't remove two WINRE and an EFI partition, but I either convert logical partition C (have no idea how, this option only is not active on EasyUS (could do that on my HDD USB drive), or remove one or more of the other primary partitions.)

  Even if I'll find a way to convert logical C, which is safe, and that I should after D creation C back in elementary school?

  I tried to play safe and let the HP/OS software do the work, and they left me with 4 primary partitions...

  OK I found the guide which unfortunately is not sure... Any other ideas?

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-notebook-PC-questions/how-to-REPARTITION-HDD-of-HP-notebook-with-...

  Unfortunately, they seem to have different names... Probably do similar things, but could someone just highlight is the partition EFI HP as mentioned in the guide, tools etc.

  I guess I should, after that installation of Windows 8 and deleting the recovery partition, create a new partition can and upgrade to 8.1... Would solve many problems, but I'm not sure it would work and really do not want to lose more than two days on this...

  I solved the problem with reinstalling Windows 8 from the DVD, and then deleting the partition recovery and at this point to divide the C partition and finnally upgrade to Windows 8.1. It works, and it was the safest, but probably not the best way to solve the isue. Previously I installed Windows 8, deleted the recovery, improved to 8.1 and got 4 primary those linked above.., so that the difference here is divide and distributes itself in the intermediate stage...

  Thank you for your interest and have a good year.

• 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?
