• How to change the size of the protection GPT Partition

  I have a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) with 250 GB SSD. Next to OSX, I used BootCamp to install Windows 8 and then improved to 8.1 Windows and Windows 10. Everything worked well to 8.1 Windows but when I upgraded to Windows 10, she could not make backups of image. Support Microsoft informs me that it is because the size of protective Partition is too small and must be increased at least 300 MB to 200 MB to reach its current size. Here's my current disk configuration:

  View of MAC:

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 251,0 disk0

  1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

  2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 100.0 GB disk0s2

  3: disk0s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

  4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 150,0 GB disk0s4

  Windows display:

  1 - protection GPT partition Partition - 200 MB

  Partition 2 - d: Partition first, HFS - 100 GB (this is where OS x is installed)

  Partition 3 - primary partition - 620 MB (no idea what it is and how it got underway)

  4 - C: partition BootCamp - NTFS - 139,83 GB

  The OSX partition has plenty of space available (61GB). My knowledge of Mac OS x is very limited. I don't want to do something that could make the system unbootable or require reinstallation of the operating system and its applications. How to resize this partition to provide a space for the GPT partition resizing?

  Thank you for looking into this.

  It seems that what Microsoft calls GPT partition protection is the EFI partition in OSX. Wonder why its size limits the ability of Windows 10 to backup image.

• remove all the HARD drive recovery partition incl. disk partitions

  IM in the process of upgrading to vista 32-bit Ultimate edition - a Lenovo T61 laptop OS original vista home, comes with HARD 160 GB but only show 110 GB disk.
  There is the hidden for drive recovery partition. now, I've wanted this disk recovery partition removed for more space for important files of video editing.

  How can I remove this parition hidden containing the recovery disk?

  I bought the support for laptop recovery CD - I have no need of the hidden partition.

  in the process, I deleted the existing partition (not the hiiden recovery partition) and installed vista ultimate 32 and it lights without problem. I then installed
  the INF chipset utilitty downloaded from the Lenovo Web site, and then installed some drivers downloaded - and all in perfect condition smooth running.

  now, I decided to remove that hidden partition containing the disk recovery - whatever happens after that, I have the recovery CD.

  "" "This applies only to Windows Vista.

  * Make sure that you have backed up your OEM code before deleting the Rugged hidden

  The hidden restore Partition Lenovo is a protected partition, then you will not be able to remove it through disk management as you would with any other normal partition. You can use Diskpart. You can still use these steps to remove the hidden restore partition if you have already done a clean install, but you will need a 3rd party software to combine with the main partition. It is better if you remove the first hidden restore Partition, then cross with a clean install using one of the many guides available on this forum.

  Step 1.
  Burn recovery media. Type "Recovery media" (without the quotes) in the search in the Start Menu. Open the application and follow the instructions.

  Step 2.
  Open the application by typing Diskpart either 'Diskpart' (without the quotes) in the search, or type "Diskpart.exe" in run by pressing Windows key + R.

  Step 3.
  Now with open Diskpart, you must enter the following command lines:

  I. type "list disk" without the quotes and press ENTER.

  II. Type in "select disk 0" and press ENTER.

  III. then type in "list partition" and press ENTER.

  IV. then type in 'select partition x' x = the recovery partition you want to delete (I think it's 1, I do not remember) replace x with the number of recovery partition and press to enter.

  V. finally type in "delete partition override" and press ENTER.

  That should do the trick. Good luck!

• external hard drive not showing in my computer and transformed in a protection GPT partition

  Hi marilyn. I have a hard drive that works very well until he was hung on a mac os x computer laptop and has not been able to access. so I tried on my computer hp laptop windows vista Home premium and the AutoPlay has not begun. its not in ' my count ' but I can surely see in the Device Manager and remove the device. I learned that I can try to rename the location or the name of the drive, but I can't. its does not give me the option to change it. what I noticed, is that it has become a protection of a normal FAT GPT partition. I did a search and was able to read an article that windows vista can read, write GPT partition, but it is not in my case. data recovery is still possible? If so, how can save the files to my hard drive?

  Hello creand,.

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  What type of disc external HARD is it? (brand/model)  When you have the device connected to your computer using Vista Home Premium you are able to see this device to explore?

  Click Start and select Explorer-> check if the device has been assigned to a drive (E) (F) (G).   If you can view the device are you able to open the files?  What is this device works properly with Vista computer before connecting with Mac OS?

• How to recover the 3 TB drive is now marked as protection GPT Partition?

  I used my hard drive 3 TB Seagate for quite awhile on my 64-bit Windows 8 computer. All of sudden the drive stopped working and will not appear in Windows Explorer.

  However, it now appears in the window as a GB Healthy (protection GPT Partition) 746.52 disk management. When I right click on the drive in disk management, the only option I have is 'Help '.
  How can I get the drive to reappear in the file Explorer using the same drive letter that I used before? I want to retrieve all my old data from the drive - I don't want to reformat the hard drive and lose all this data.
  What should I do?

  I finally got my drive appears. I did a number of things, but I suspect that the thing last6 that I solved it the problem. Here are the things I've done:

  -updated my Nvidia driver
  -updated my version of Acronis True Image
  -Finally, updated my version of Intel Rapid Storage Technology Panel as described on the following link: @see http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/disk-drives/f/3534/t/19516572.aspx
  I was restart my computer several times given that this problem occurred, but the last time that I restarted, the message on my screen that read it was trying to fix the problem with the drive.
  I think that the last thing I did (upgrade from the Intel Control Panel) may have solved the problem. It is specific to a Dell Alienware computer, so if anyone sees this problem, my solution will probably not correct their problem unless they also have an Alienware computer.
  I am always amazed as to why this problem occurred, but I relieve it is now resolved.

• Resized partition Boot Camp, now cannot start Windows

  I have a MacBook Pro (with the retina) with a 128 GB SSD which was, until recently, evenly divided 50-50 between Mac and Windows 8.

  However, I need more space on the size of Windows, so I reduced the size of the Mac partition to 40 GB and then, because for some reason I couldn't expand the Boot Camp one, I had to create another partition that I could use to put my stuff in side Windows.

  I did this via Windows.

  I now, weeks later, started in Mac for the first time since, and now I can't get back into Windows. The partition is not present on the desktop, or in the boot disk utility.

• Problem Windows/Bootcamp Partition with unsupported Mac (iMac 21.5 "mid-2011)

  I tried many door routes stealth to install Windows 10 on my iMac (21.5 inch, mid-2011; 1 TB SATA disk), which seems to be not taken in charge by Apple. Whenever I try to use Bootcamp to try to establish a partition, in the end it cuts and force restarts my computer.

  I decided to make my own (150 GB, FAT MS-DOS) partition and a bootable USB stick with all the files .iso on it. The bootable USB key works very well and can get into Boot EFI without problem. The score, according to the EFI boot and Windows Installer, "has a table of MBR partition...". [and] Windows can only be installed on GPT disks. »

  I tried to format the partition to NTFS by using the command-line Windows, such as proposed in the link below, but after downloading the Tuxera NTFS file to move the .iso to the Windows partition image file (I guess to make its own bootable drive) the drive itself is not started.

  In fact, the Windows partition came not in the start screen (hosting option after reboot OR allowing the computer initiate by itself).

  https://www.reddit.com/r/Mac/comments/3rzxd5/guide_windows_10_bootcamp_on_unsupp orted_macs.

  

  After trying to format this partition using the Windows command line, Windows begins to remove it and provides the same error message. After some research, I found that the partitions are hybrid and need for special maintenance. I tried to use gpart, but when trying to convert ONLY TPG, took place the message in a terminal:

  Caveat! Main partition table overlaps the first partition of 32 blocks!

  You need to remove this partition or resize in another utility.

  Caveat! Secondary partition table overlaps the last partition of

  33 blocks!

  You need to remove this partition or resize in another utility.

  I activated the command 'csrutil disable' in Recovery Mode in order to bypass the Protection of the integrity of the system, I found that some users of El Capitan were problems with this.

  I was not able to proceed to the question since this last error and I'm not sure how to proceed, especially because I don't want to lose my data on my Mac hard drive. If anyone knows any information on how I should proceed, please let me know!

  1. you use Boot EFI on a preUEFI computer.

  2. to help TO do a FAT32 partition will also create a hybrid MBR. Please after the release of

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  3. you need not of Tuxera, because Windows install has already the ability to convert FAT to NTFS.

  4. your built-in optical drive works? If so, your W10 ISO burn to a physical DVD and try to follow the standard installation of the BCA.

• Merging 2 partitions on a hard disk again on Satellite X 200-21 L

  Ok
  my situation: I bought the Satellite X 200-21 L (European version of the X 205-SLi3) on this point, I have two hard drives with a capacity of 160 GB per disk.
  But among the hard disks is divided into two partitions, the partition "C:" for progra0ms and vista and partition "F:" for what you want.
  The second hard drive D: is normal without a split (160GB).
  But now, my score of the first hardrive (where is saved the programms and viste) is full. Therefore, I want to know, if possible, to unite the two bulkheads again!

  -is it possible?
  -can which program I use? Vista its own program to do this?
  -I only have a recovery CD... so I don't want to lose my data! the hidden for the automatic system recovery partition could be damaged?
  -is only possible to run such a program, which protect my data and unite those partitions without losing something?

  My hard drives:

  File data-system: NTFS
  Hardrive-Capacity: 160 GB (two of them, one is divided into two partitions))
  size: 2.5 Zoll
  Rotation speed: 5400U/min
  Cache memory: 8 MB
  average access time: 11 ms
  port (internal): IDE 40Pin (Ultra DMA/ATA-66)
  MTBF: 600000 hours
  Engine technology: dynamic fluid bearing / RoHS compliant

  THX!

  As far as I know that something like this is possible. You can do the following:

  1. remove all data of D on the second HARD drive
  2. open Computer Management > disk management
  3. click with the right button of the mouse on the D partition, and then choose the option Remove Volume
  4. click with the right button of the mouse on the C partition and select Extend Volume option
  5. simply follow the menu on the screen

  All that s!

• recovery system after creating a new partition

  Product number: A6Y43UAR #ABA

  Name: HP Pavilion g6-1d38dx Notebook PC

  OS: Windows 7 64-bit

  My hard drive is shipped with a factory setting of 4 primary partitions. I would like to remove one of the partitions in order to create a new primary partition using this guide (jump to option I content):

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

  My goal is to create a new partition D where I store all my data so that something happened to my operating system that is on the C drive (viruses, etc.), all my data will be safe in the drive D. I hope that running the system recovery HP (using the f11 key) will not remove the user created the D partition and the data in it , but that's where my confusion. The guide above says the following on this subject:

  "Remember that if you decide to use the recovery discs or the F11 option to restore the PC to its original state, all partitions that have been created by you will be lost and will also lose all data that was stored on them."

  
  However, another document which is the HP system recovery guide, says the following

  Your computer can have three types of available system recovery, or he might have only two. Use the type of recovery in order to solve your problem without making further changes as necessary.

  If you don't have 3 options in the recovery then Yes, System Recovery Manager will delete all partitions and restore the original configuration.

  To better protect your files an external USB hdd is a good investment of backup. You can also use it to make a System Image of your hard drive that can be used to restore windows and all software/drivers if you need to reinstall. 1 > guide 2 > guide
