• 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!

• How to restore after deleting a partition in unallocated space on my hard drive?

  HI, I have recently removed a partition of my hard drive on windows Vista Home Basic. I removed it because I needed to find the hard drive space on the main user profile.

  I found, after following the instructions on how to remove the partition that the partition has been deleted, but the space was not available for use on the main user.

  I couldn't find any information on how to restore the space unallocated on the C: drive, so if there is someone out there who can help me, I'd appreciate the help! : o).

  Hi geddron1976,

  Is "unallocated" space right next to the C: partition, that is to the right of the C: partition? If yes go to control panel and click the Administrative Tools icon. In the Administrative Tools window, click computer management. In the window of computer managgement, click on disk management and you will then see a view of your disks. Click right on your C: drive, and in the menu drop-down, select "Extend Volume".  A wizard will appear. In the 'select amount of space in MB' type the amount sdpace you want to extend the partition. If you want this then let the total in the State. Now, click Next, followed by the finished product. The c: drive should now be extended in your unallocated space.

  If the C: partition is 'no' right next to the unallocated space, then you will not be able to extend the partition - not with the windows disk in any case management application. To do this you will need a third party application of partitioning, it is also a little more complex.

• 14FR (PQSERVICE) recovery partition becomes unallocated space

  Hi all

  I have an Aspire 5745 G laptop with Windows 7 HP x 64 preload. My HARD drive accidentally becomes a dynamic disk for narrowing the 'C' drive by using a 3rd party partition management software. I converted it to the base using the same tool. Now my OEM 14FR reserved partition disappeared. It shows as an unallocated space in the Device Manager window.

  

  Can I still get back without going through recovery discs?

  Thanks before.

  Hi osandakj

  Bad news is, if the recovery partition is listed as unallocated, it has been deleted.

  You will certainly need to buy for your laptop recovery disks!

• Vista SP2: create an additional partition / merge unallocated space

  I looked around the forums but I can't seem to find an appropriate response.

  I recently reinstalled an operating system on my computer (HARD drive Exchange).  This time, I decided to stay with the Vista original rather than go to the downgrade to XP, I first time round.

  -Online is my goal is to create a partition only for my data.

  I don't never partitioned a drive myself so far.  So far, I did not restore all the data.

  I found a strange configuration on the HARD disk, which is now 500 GB:

  C: "Vista" (of course the windows and other program files, the page file, etc.). About half of the total disk space, with a lot more free space.

  E: 'Data' ("primary partition"). About half of the disk space total but container recovery tools only 4 GB of occupation.

  A third * no * capacity volume 1.46 GB with 100% free space.  It is marked 'healthy (EISA) configuration.

  My plan had been to shrink C and E substantially, in particular E (up to about 6 GB, which gives 33% free space, since it is only recovery tools - on my machine Win 8 I have a recovery partition, but it is very small, as expected).

  I shrink both, but Vista only authorized maximum withdrawal of 50%.  I found myself with two spaces unallocated.  I formatted a (now called D) and now, it is marked 'in good condition (logical drive).  He is also NTFS.

  I've not yet formatted the other unallocated space.

  So, my questions:-

  1. What is this labeled 1.46 GB partition?  Why is that?  (Never seen something like that).

  2. why can I not shrink the existing partitions more?  C even still contains 69% free space.

  3. how to merge both new partitions?

  4. Why is the new partition D not a main drive and what question?  (I read somewhere in Vista you can have 3 primary disks.)  Is this what volume unlabelled 1.46 GB as a primary transmission?

  => I would like ideally to a single disk of data about 65 to 75% of my 500 GB HARD drive.  For now the D drive and newly formatted (68.1 GB) and the unallocated space (115.9 GB) add up to only 184 GB, significantly less than half.

  Thanks for any help.

  I'm no expert on the partitioning of the disks as each version of Windows introduced new types of structures of disk and partitions. Each of the different rules depending on the type and the version of Windows.

  I have three partitions. Data and one for Windows. One for beta versions of Windows. And one for the installation files (if it survives reformatting). I copy my data to another partition if resettlement (but it's been 6 years and 7 months I finally reinstalled Windows - what ordinary hassles are you going to for once an event of the Decade).

  Windows is designed to separate the data on a disk. Many of its features are designed to make several drives appear as a single drive.

  In the worst case scenario for your scenario, Windows will work, but your data is lost compared to the lost data, but nothing works. An improvement without consequence.

  Hello

  You can erase your entire hard drive with command prompt from booting from the Windows installation disc and run the utility "diskpart", clear full hard drive, make new partitions and install the operating system.

  (a) start the computer from the Windows installation disc.

  (b) click on 'Next' at the first prompt.

  (c) click on "Repair your computer."

  (d) click "next".

  (e) click on "Command prompt."

  (f) type "diskpart" without the quotes, and then press "Enter".

  (g) list disk 'type' without the quotes, and then press "enter".

  (h) type "select disk 0" without the quotes and replacing '0' by the actual number of the car you want to erase.

  (i) type "clean" without the quotes, and press "Enter." The drive is now completely erased.

  (j) restart the computer.

  (k) through the installation of Windows 7 with regular steps.

  I hope this helps.

• Satellite L750 - unallocated space after custom partition

  Hello

  I bought a new Satellite L750 of 640 GB HD and made a custom 400 GB for C: partition and expecting a ~ 200 GB for a D:; with the remaining GB in an HD hidden for the restoration of the window use.

  After the complete installation and start-up of the window, I can only see a C: or my GB of 200 ~ 400 becomes not allocated. No other player number is displayed.

  Can someone help me how I can create an E: or what that lead to make use of this no allocated space.
  How can I access? I have to redo the entire system again and just send it to C: and forget a second drive?

  H.E.L.P. Please.

  Hello

  I hope that you have created a recovery disc before changing the partitions on the HARD disk.
  I guess you HDD recovery would not work after the partitions has been changed.

  In any case, all partitions can be verified in disk management.
  Right-click on computer-> Manage
  Here, you go to disk management

  Generally, all partitions and unallocated space must be visible. Here, you can create a new partition or can change and change the partitions again.

• Need to consolidate space unallocated on my Vista laptop and extended partitions

  There are 4 partitions on my laptop Lenovo w/Vista. They are the main with the system OS etc. files partition, then an extended 9.7 GB partition labeled volume D: 98 GB of unallocated space and then finally the OEM with the recovery image section. I want to create a partition that is important as the C: volume with all that on it. The only other partition would be the volume of the OEM. Now when I try to use the unallocated space (create a simple volume with quick format) it says the operation cannot be completed because there is not enough space on the hard drive; that cannot be true because the unallocated space is 98 GB +. I got the OS to the factory setting thinking that it would be re - format the hard disk for the installation of 2 original score. No luck. I need help! We cannot add a lot of apps of software in the form of program files before the C: drive runs out of space. Help!

  Do NOT post the same question in 2 different Forums.

  http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/homeLenovo.do

  As you have problems with the recovery media from Lenovo not putting this back to factory settings as it should with 2 Partitions, connect with Lenovo.

  This isn't their recovery process, Microsoft.

  See you soon.

• Vista Shrink volume resulted in 75 lack space volume and 0 GB unallocated space. No possibility of partition. Lost space.

  I wanted to create a partition on a 150 GB internal hard drive. It is NOT the boot drive, it's the drive D. I got more than half the volume free and retractable Vista specific volume I could use up to 90 GB. I selected 75GB for the shrink.  After the SHRINK, it resulted in 75 lack volume and space 0 GB unallocated space for the partition. Volume shrinkage has returned an error and did not provide additional instructions. Unfortunately, I don't have the error message as I deleted it by mistake. It was a small error message in Shrink.

  VISTA 32-bit, updates to update... I just downloaded EASEUS Partition Master and it shows I have 150 GB of total space, unused and 0 free 90 not allocated. Looks like the problem doesn't show in the view "Properties..." (75 GB of total space, 15 GB free unused).  I don't know what the file system will be used to allocate new space. I think I'll try to copy a large file and see which uses the file system...

  When I look at the following:
  Computer management, storage,... disk management it says I have: Simple, Basic, disk 1, disk Local (d) 150 GB, NTFS, healthy (Primary Partition). (NO unallocated space appears on this menu)

  When I look at the properties of the D: drive:
  Local disk (d :)) 75 GB of capacity.

  I just lost 75 GB! Help...

  I don't know what happened. Shrink did not partition instructions... The space is lost forever?

  When you shrink a volume you create unallocated space which should appear in computer management - I don't know why it is not appear on your system.

  Maybe you can try to expand the volume to find the size of the original score (although it will wipe the data that is on the drive): http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/. (but I doubt it will work because there is no contiguous unallocated space appear).

  Here is another article on how to shrink and expland a partition under Vista.  Perhaps by reading the instructions for the narrowing, you will notice something did you not (or has done, but shouldn't have).  Otherwise, extend the partition could reclaim your lost space.  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial133.html.  Yet once again, because there is no unallocated space appear, I don't know if it will work (in fact, I don't think it will be).

  My best suggestion is to temporarily store the data on the disk also narrowed and then format the drive.  This should bring back to his full 150 GB and then you can try it again narrows (if you are still interested in this).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

• unallocated space between partitions

  I installed Windows 7. during installation I made a partition (70 GB) in all of the space allocated and left others as unallocated space
  I installed Windows, then in management discs I couldn't do in extended partition. Windows I only made two more primary partitions.
  So I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to create partitions.
  But when I did an extended partition with three logic in what I saw two unallocated space (2 MB) after and before the extended partition.
  Is - this usual?

  I have another question?
  The process is better?

  (1) for installation in the window where you want to install Windows (player option (Advanced)) I'm doing a partition out of unallocated space (for example 70 GB) for the installation of operating system and left another space as unallocated space and after installing I make my partitions in management of disks or with MiniTool Partition Wizard

  Or

  (2) for installation in the window where you want to install Windows (player option (Advanced)) I'm doing a partition of all the unallocated space (disk space) to install the OS and after installation I reduce it and make my partitions.

• Extend a logical drive with the unallocated space

  Hello

  I have windows 7 Home premium on the 320 GB hard drive.
  I have illustrated on the picture [link] Partitionas
  Now I can extend the C: partition with unallocated 62 GB space, but I can't increase my D: partition. Extend the option is disable on the property of the D: drive.
  I have gained 62GB C: drive by shrinking it. I can use it to increase the C: drive (which is the opposite of my approach), but I can't use it to D: drive.

  Hello

  The extension of the D drive is not possible for the space allocated, created to the left.
  But can be made to the C drive, which is to the left of the unallocated space.

• Reclaim the unallocated space - right of partitions

  I have two hard drives on my computer.  Recently upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit professional.  After data transfer, removal of previous operating system, I have unallocated space both disks located on the right side (as shown in disk management).  On the first disc, unallocated space is to the right of the only partition on the disk - the main partition.  On the second drive, unallocated space is to the right of a pair of partitions - the primary partition and logical partition.

  First, I want to add to the main partition unallocated space.

  On the second, I add 1/2 on the unallocated space on the main partition, the other 1/2 to the logical partition.

  Disk management does not partition to the left.  So, how can I add disk space unallocated right at existing partitions (on the left).

  Appreciate any help.

  Thanks Palcouk!

  Took time for me to get there (my computer was not dead in the water, in order to recover the unallocated portions of the disk was not urgent)... but I used the program you suggested.  It was working fine.

  1/3 of my disc of Microsoft disk management could not recover (which was empty unallocated space) is now part of my OS partition (C :) and the partition I created for programs (p).  (All data from there, files are on a second drive - for many years now, I've kept my data on a 2nd drive w the OS on the 1st disk).
