Help a fool please ~ deleted partition, lost the hard drive size

I'll try my best to make this as clear as possible, thank you for your time...

Received my free copy of windows 7 home Premium

Wanted a clean install (not an upgrade)

Back up all the data and the programs that I installed

During the installation of win 7, I deleted the recovery of the system partition and the 2nd partition of my HARD disk (has been labeled d, came that sort of lenovo factory, had 70 GB size I think)

I thought that if I deleted the partition of the hard drive space would be added to the 1st partition and it did not

Have materialized with the installation of win 7, and now I just have never found my C: and the GBs of the 2nd old partition so its as if I lowered my total HARD disk size

How can I get my C: to have all of the 320 GB? Thanks for any advice!

You can allocate the unused disk space as follows.

Start > run > diskmgmt.msc

Right-click on the Windows partition [should be C] and click on "expand". Extend partition as needed and enjoy.

  • Equium L350 - 11 d - how do I delete the second partition on the HARD drive

    How can I delete the second partition that came with the laptop, so I can use the full capacity of computers HARD drive?

    I feel that this partition is their because I have not created a DVD of recovery he would remove the partition once I created the recovery DVDs.

    The score contains a folder of HARD disk RECOVERY and in the folder says do not delete or change this folder or files.

    I have a Toshiba Equium L350 - 11 d

    As you have already said that the second partition contains the HDD Recovery folder if you would remove this partition you will not be able to create the recovery DVD and would not be able to recover the laptop HARD drive.

    Therefore, you must create the DVD before recovery would remove anything from the second partition on the HARD drive.

    After you create the DVD recovery successfully, you could remove the partition and could add the free space on the HARD disk on the first partition.
    This can be done on disk management!

  • Tecra A8-104: how to create a second partition on the HARD drive

    Hello.

    I had to use the recovery disk, and I deleted by mistake my (two) initials of the partitions on the HARD drive. : ((now, I have only one.

    Can someone tell me how I can fix this?
    I want 2 partitions, not one. x 10

    The Toshiba Recovery CD could create two partitions.
    The installer will ask where or how install the OS on the HARD drive.

    For example, the HARD disk supports 100GB. So you can choose the first 60 GB for installing the OS and the difference (40 GB) could be activated after the installation of the OS.

    This can be done in the management of the computer-> disk management.

  • How much better the partition of the HARD drive for dual boot: Windows 8 and Linux

    Hello

    I am a newbie in Windows 8, linux, Partition...

    I want to use my new laptop with windows 8 pre-installed on the following:

    Create a Dual Boot Windows 8 / Ubuntu
    Create on my drive C (single disk on my laptop):

    * a partition for the system
    * one for Windows 8
    * one for data and
    least for Ubuntu OS

    My goal is:

    -to install VmWare on Windows 8 and run Splat Checkpoint with virtual machines to make the FCTC laboratories.

    to install GNS3 on Ubuntu for CCNP Labs but with GNS3 to access the files in the data partition

    I have a Toshiba Satellite with 750 GB and 8 GB of RAM.

    According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
    Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?

    Best regards

    I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.

    I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
    So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.

    However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.

    By the way: I found Nice YouTube video how to create a dual boot using 8 Win and Linux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Yd2jK-7Jg

  • With the help of successful library - Photos can delete originals on the hard drive?

    I have "manually manage" my Apple photo library (that is, what some call the "referenced" option).

    I created a smart photo album I want to permanently remove it from my Mac (out of focus, test shots, etc.). I'm curious to know if there is a way to use the Photo app to actually remove the vs photos through my individual files to perform this operation manually. This would be similar to iTunes when you remove the music, he asks if you want to delete the original files.

    I figured out how "reveal in finder" - but that does not let me do a single image at a time. I would rather try to make it in bulk.

    To be clear, I know how to remove pictures of pictures. I would go a little further and remove them from my Mac altogether.

    If you use a library "referenced" then it is your responsibility to delete the source files / referenced from the drive hard when you delete them from the photo library.  I have not seen any solution mentioned in these forums on how to automatically delete the source files.  One of the several disadvantages to manage a library of reference.

    If the extra work required to locate and delete the source files became too much, you can always consolidate library while it's now a "managed" and then deleting the library library will remove the files from the hard drive as well.

  • Satellite A100-192: what I lose warranty if I create a partition on the HARD drive

    Hello everyone,

    I want to format my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A100-192) and 2 partitions. I've been using EMP cd + recovery CD, it's very simple, but I don't want to install all the programs of Toshiba. I want to install a Windows 'fresh '.

    I read all the messages on Toshiba Express media CD + recovery CD and xxxx on the HARD drive. I'm a bit confused. Many of you said: 'use only EMP recovery cd + CD' or ' do not xxxx 2 or more on your HARD drive - you can lose the warranty of your laptop.

    I have another CD with Windows XP Pro OEM. It is best to create partitions, install from that cd and after that to install the drivers from TOOLSCD?

    Of course, I don't want to lose my warranty, please tell me how it is better to do!

    Sincerely yours.
    Daniel

    Hello

    > Many of you said: 'use only EMP CD + recovery CD' or '' do not 2 or more partitions on your HARD drive.
    ' > you can lose the warranty of your laptop.

    Someone told you a big story :)

    It turns out; you do not lose the warranty after you create partitions on your HARD drive!
    Only if you open the laptop and will try to fix something by yourself, you will lose your warranty.

    Of course, you can use your fresh and original Windows operating system. After the installation of the operating system, you can install the drivers from the CD tools Toshiba or you're going to download it from the page of Toshiba.

  • Several partitions on the hard drive

    I have a few questions.

    1 could you help me understand the different partitions that are on my hard drive.

    a. healthy 600 MB (recovery Partition)

    b. 300 MB Healthy (EFI System Partition)

    c. Acer (C)

    d. 18 GB Healthy (recovery Partition)

    2. If I wanted to maintain the ability to retrieve from the hard drive, which, if not all partitions are needed to stay healthy.

    I like being redundant and I created a flash drive to back up my drivers and applications and also a flash drive to a factory restore.

    Thank you

    Hi whatrymes,

    the entire score is required in the case of a HARD drive failure:

    (a) main Windows recovery partition, those are the same files that you have on the USB boot recovery media where windows fails to boot from the HARD drive

    (b) EFI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition

    (c) your system partition is

    (d) it is necessary to re - install windows to factory default install Acer/windows files

    If you want to be "bullet proof", I suggest:

    (1) check if the BIOS can read and boot from your USB recovery media (sometimes not expensive pen USB cannot be recognized)

    (2) make a system image on an external HARD drive or a big USB pen:
    http://www.TomsHardware.com/news/how-to-make-system-image-backup, 26542.html

    in the worst case of total failure of the HARD drive, you can change your HARD disk, use the support of USB to start recovery and re - install of the system image backup.

  • Satellite L500 - what is the third partition on the HARD drive?

    I see that I have three primary partitions already made on this new L500 ~.
    1.) 2GiB/dev/hda1 to Toshiba Recovery,.
    2.) 330 + giB (C :) for Vista and 3.) 12GiB/dev/hda3?.

    I need windows dualboot both valuation and partition for Linux and the storage installations.

    What is the third partition for and I can configure things so that I can save it in a logical Partition?

    My goal is:

    / dev/hda1 = Toshiba Recovery
    / dev/hda2 = Vista
    / dev/hda3 = Windows 7 ~ RC7
    / dev/hda4 = expanded to all others (including Linux, the existing 12GiB and common storage as well.)

    Any suggestions or thoughts before I dive?

    Best regards, SnapafunFrank

    Hello

    The third partition is Vista.
    Vista creates two partitions; a partition common to install the system and the second partition hidden for the backup files. These backup files are important for Vista. Vista needs him to repair the operating system if something will go wrong

    So it s is strongly recommended to leave this partition on the HARD disk

  • Question about deleting data from the HARD drive

    Hello

    The C drive on my computer satellite phone is almost full, 1.21 Gb free of 55.7 and drive E has 10.9 GB 36 GB free. How can I solve this problem. I am not concerned by what is deleted. It can go if you have to.

    Slowing down the laptop down to something serious.

    Any help would be great.

    Hello

    It seems that drive E has little more free space
    So, you can move some files like photos, movies, files pm3 or any that you have stored on the partition, the partition E.

    You can also reduce the E partition and can add free space on the C partition.
    To do this, you must use a 3rd party software
    I recommend using a freeware tool called * Gparted.*

    How to get it? Google is your friend ;)

    Hello

    You can resize your C: partition using the tools of Vista system.

    The only restriction is that you can't take a piece of D: and add it to C: (it must come to grips with D :)

    You should backup your data on D: > remove you ALL D: > where D: is now becomes not allocated space > extend you C: into the unallocated space where D: used to be.

  • New Partition on the hard drive

    I have hp g42-459tu with win7, 4 GB ram and 500 GB hard drive.
    But theres only one partition... so I wanted to create a new partition by reducing the volume... I have c: drive successfully shrunk and created 240 GB unallocated space...
    Then, when I tried to do a new volume that a msg came to say something on... This action will turn the disk from basic to dynamic disk and you will not be able to boot your operating system

    Please be generous enough to hit the button star Bravo if you liked the answer *.

    If you delete the partition that you created, you should be able to convert all the back to the base, at the same time, following the instructions in the 2nd link I posted.

    Once they are converted into basic read the first link I posted to convert the partition C for 'LOGIC', then you can format the partition that you created as the primary database.
