• How reduce the Win7 boot partition, then move the other partitions left in newly free space?

  Summary: How can I shrink/move partitions on my HDD 650 GB physical so that they reside in the first 500 GB of that drive?

  I have a newly purchased HP dm4-2070us laptop with Win 7 Home Premium (HP OEM) installed on the hard disk of 640 GB.  This hard drive is slow, so I would like to replace it with a 500 GB Seagate Momentus XT.

  In order to be able to clone all the partitions of the 640 GB drive for the smallest 500 GB replacement drive, I need to shrink the partition C: (main window), then move the partitions remaining 'left' ending up with all partitions in the first 500 GB of the disk so I can then copy this image to the new drive of 500 GB.

  I already have the software to clone the partitions of the 640 GB drive for the 500 GB drive.

  My concerns:

  (1) the administration tool Win7 disc printing should it allows me to shrink the C: boot partition, but I don't know if that can damage anything.

  (2) move the SYSTEM partition, or the partition RECOVERY left the impression that he could render the system unbootable.

  Here is a screencap of my current scores in the Win7 disk management tool:

• How to restore the windows boot partition 8

  During the formatting of some new partitions I created, I accidentally restructured my windows boot partition 8.

  My windows system partition 8 (containing all my files and soforth) did not suffer. When I inserted the disc of windows 8, I didn't see no simple method to reinstall my windows 8 boot partition without wiping the entire system (and other operating systems that I have on this computer).

  Is there a simple way to repair my boot partition without harming my other partitions?

  Hello

  Thanks for the update.

  Try another set of orders. Follow the same steps provided in my previous steps to get the command prompt. Type the following commands and press ENTER after each:

  bcdedit/set {default} partition device = c:
  bcdedit/set {default} osdevice partition = c:
  bcdedit/set {bootmgr} partition device = c:

   

  Check if you are able to boot in Windows 8.

• I accidentally deleted my boot partition

  I tried to install Windows 10 using Bootcamp but it failed and I had to start. I thought I had deleted the Bootcamp partition, but I accidentally deleted the main boot partition for Mac OS. When I try to start my Mac Apple logo appears for a while, then finally I do not see an entry sign.

  In an attempt to solve this problem, I started my Mac upward into recovery mode and reinstalled Mac OS on the partition that I created for the thought of Windows, I would be able to access my files and pass them to the new facility. Mac OS installed fine, but I now have a 800 GB partition, I can't access. He appears in disk utility, but I can not unlock or fix it.

  Question is, can I repair the boot partition and to come back to how I was before I screwed up?

  Or, is it possible to unlock the main so partition that I can access it from the new installation, back up everything can start all over again?

  What do you backup before you start this project?

• Resize the Windows Server 2003 boot partition

  My client has Server 2003 with a RAID. The system volume / start is 12 GB. Right next to this boot on the partition volume is 30 GB of unallocated space. The rest of the disk is allocated to a separate partition in which all their data lives.

  Can I expand the boot volume to include the 30 GB of unallocated space? If so, how?

  Your help is appreciated.

• Impossible to expand the C partition after the reduction of the DATA Partition

  I dropped my DATA partition to increase the size of my partition Vista (c), but I can't extend C: (as far I understand it) because it is more than a single partition to the right.

  I can reformat the free space and I have another partition, but I would rather extend C:
  Is there a way to do this?

  Also, I wrote my recovery disks, but the DATA partition again should he be there? Also if you do not delete the DATA partition and that do it again you?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  The problem is that your data partition was created after the C partition.

  If you reduce a partition, the free space appears after the shrivelled partition and so you can not add this free space to the other partition of C that is placed behind the partition Data (D).

  The only way to expand the C partition is to delete the partition D and then to add this free space to the C partition, but I wouldn't delete the DATA partition because it has a record of recovery that is necessary to create the Toshiba Recovery DVD

  But if you have already created a Toshiba Recovery DVD then the deletion of the DATA partition is not a serious problem because the Toshiba Recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and would create 3 new partitions (hidden WinRE partition, partition C system, DATA partition).

• Expand the partition of drive C on the IdeaPad Z500

  Hi guys,.

  I have a laptop of series of Lenovo IdeaPad Z500, that came with a 60 GB drive C for storage/parition.

  I'm running out of space and was trying to extend the partition using the tools of Paritioning but I don't get the option to extend the C drive, after creating an unallocated partition (say 10-15 GB). I try so to make my partition of the drive C was around 70-75 GB after the extension of the C drive.

  One thing I noticed that I have a score of 300 MB (approx.) just after the C drive. It does not resemble an OKR partition but another thing that I already have a 25 GB of partition OKR.

  I'm suspecting that this 300 MB of partition is coming in my way to extend the partition on the C drive, but I'm just guessing. I could be wrong as well.

  So, I'm currently stuck here and can't seem to find a way to extend the drive C partition without messing up the configuration OKR.

  In addition, I'd appreciate really if someone could tell me how to do a factory default operating system image backup, so I can't run in case my system fails to start at somepoint in time.

  When I open the app OKR, it gives me two options: backup & restore system.

  I'm also confused here if the backup of the system would make the backup of the complete (with all applications at this stage) operating system? If this is the case, then how can we restore that image in the event of a boot failure?

  Overall, here are my questions:

  #How to extend the C drive without affecting the OKR/partition configuration?

  #How to restore the backup system image (saved using "Backup system" option OKR App) when the system does not boot? I have to write to a disc or save it to another partition would also work?

  #Is there a way to default value of the image image factory so I can use it to install the new OS, in case I have problems with the operating system in the future?

  If necessary, I can share the screenshot of the partition table to give you an exact idea how my drive is partitioned.

  I would appreciate really no answer on that.

  Looking forward to hear from you.

  Kind regards

  Nick

  "Therefore, the procedure you mentioned on Page 7 of the post, I should be able to recovery of default of origin of the USB Image and not the 25 GB partition that has already been created for this purpose." Is my understanding correct? »

  Comments: The key USB OKR erase everything on your hard drive and recreate the partitions including the operating system. So, it will be as you receive your unit of Lenovo. So don't forget to make a backup of your personal files.

  "In case the OKR on laptop breaks because of the re-parititioning of the C drive, I still have the USB for it?

  What actually flash as recovery disk, if for some reason, my OS is corrupted and I am unable to start my OKR has messed up too, I would still be able to load/install operating system to factory image on my laptop? »

  Comments: In case that spoil you the partitions, you can restore to factory State (actually you can now decide what size of drive C).

• cannot expand the c partition in unallocated space

  I have a HP Pavilion dv5224nr laptop running Windows XP.  I've been low on disk space, so I came on this forum to find out how to remove the recovery partition, since I have the recovery CD from HP.  Now that I deleted the partition through disk management, it only allows me to expand the C partition in unallocated space left by removing the partition D.  "Extend partition" is not an option in the menu when I right click.  I also tried going through the "diskpart" command prompt, select the volume and him asking to "extend".  I received a message that it was unable to extend the volume.  How can I recover the 12 GB of space on my C drive?  Thank you.

  I downloaded a free utility called Easeus Partition Master and it worked very well for resizing my partition C.  I also used explores the function to watch the 1 gig unknown partition and it wasn't empty, so I left it alone.  Thanks for your help!

• j170ca Envy17 - add an SSD, the main boot drive + partition recovery?

  Hi, I decided to change the original HARD for one SSD drive, making it the main startup disk SSD, but I also want to keep the data recovery for the future. How should I proceed? I mark the partition on the SSD first, copy the original data recovery on the new SSD partition. Then clean install Windows 8 on the boot SSD partition and (newly copied) recovery can restore HP applications?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You can create a set of recovery and remove th Recvery partition. You have little choice

  (a) as above, create a set and cannot ignore the recovery partition,

  (b) use more (capacity) of SSD and clone the drive HARD whole, including the recovery partition. You will get two worlds, but the cost can be high due to the SSD costs.

  Kind regards.

• Hard drive to expand the C partition

  Hello

  How to expand the C partition on the hard drive. For the C partition option is grayed out in Disk Management extend it.

  Dell Inspiron 1564, Windows 7.

  Photo of attached disk management.

  For some reason I didn't your answers on your other thread.

  You can only expand in the unpartitioned space on the right of the partition that you extend. You deleted the D: drive, but the space is not the unpartitioned space. Because you can have a maximum of 4 partitions on an MBR disk, the last of them is typically created as an extended Partition, that allows you to create additional logical drives inside. It is a goofy configuration if this is how he got from Dell. You must also delete F:, then delete the Extended Partition. Then you can extend C: you have unpartitioned space where was the Extended Partition.

• Delete a partition in a virtual machine and expand the initial allocation of hard drive

  I have created a virtual machine running server 2012R2 with an allowance of 60 GB drive. I decided after doing hours of work on the virtual machine I had assigned too little disk space for the virtual machine. I decided that I just go in vSphere and change settings and add to the existing space. The problem is that it has created a new partition rather by increasing the size of the original, which doesn't help me. How can I remove this new partition and just expand the original that has been allocated when I created this virtual machine?

  Thank you

  Hi Paul,.

  Could you clarify what you mean by;

  The problem is that it has created a new partition rather by increasing the size of the original

  (A) do you mean you modified the virtual machine and added a second disc, rather than increase the size of the original? or;

  (B) you increase the size of the original disk and create a new partition in this free space?

  Be that as it may, the question should be simple to solve;

  (A) remove the second disk you don't need, increase the size of the original. Then from the OS Disk Manager, rescan the disks and extend C:\ in free space.

  (B) delete the partition that you don't need. From the OS Disk Manager, expand C:\ in free space.

  See you soon,.

• The host has not enough space on the boot partition to store the image upgrade. It takes a minimum of size_in_MB. After the release of space or perform an installation from the CD-ROM.

  Hi everyone, the difficulties in trying to update the Update Manager. ESX4.1 to ESXi5.0

  Error I get is below to correct the scan before update:

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  It sounds like this host has already been improved 3.x! In this case you will not be able to upgrade to 5.x using the Manager to update because of the small partition/boot (99 MB).

  to remedy the hosts against a basic upgrade

  ... You cannot use Update Manager to upgrade to 5.0 ESXi host, if the host has upgraded ESX 3.x to ESX 4.x. These hosts have not enough free space in the partition/Boot to support the process of update Update Manager. Use either interactive or scripted upgrade.

• Expand the partition of the VM c:\ partition

  Dear Experts,

  We have recently installed a product of HP Operations manager for windows on a virtual machine after 4vCPU, 4 GB Mem and 50 GB of HARD drive as C:\ partition. The storage is not local but a SAN. The data store is on SAN set 250 GB and in the database of the other virtual machines are also.

  We have seen now that gives 50 GB of space not enough for this product, and we want to expand the size say 50 GB to 80 GB. It is the partition where the OS is running, and that's Win 2008 R2 x 64 bit. I am new in this field and need to know if it is possible to extend the C:\ partition and how, is possible when the virtual machine is directly stop IT or it is required? What is the Live extension case shutdown GOLD, let me know the steps to follow on this. Also once the partition is extended how do Windows see new space and attach it to existing 50 GB c:\. What measures are necessary in Windows after you change the settings of VM.

  I look forward to the support.

  Kind regards

  You mean even if the virtual machine is online, it will allow me to change the settings for the hard disk, and I can put value of 80 GB, where I now have 50 GB

  Yes, you can CHANGE the settings of the VM when its WE fed and add the new disc format

  How to make more partition a virtual disk, like I mean when I create a new Virtual Machine I set its size of hard drive, very well, and when I install the guest operating system, I only see partition C:\ How can I have partition D:\ as well in a virtual machine? I need to create another VDisk?

  Extend its best to the new virtual disk created for the new volume, so it would be easy when you want to drive

  I have a 32-bit Win 2003 R2 STD cases.
