how hard Partition disk (properly)

Sorry for the noob question... but want to get this right before you start installation/migration of the stuff on my new computer: HP Pavilion A6 Vision running Windows 7 Desktop

I want to create a new partition on my hard drive... so I decreased the volume of drive C: using DISK MANAGEMENT... He did it... so once I had a half of the white c:... I formatted the empty spot to make a new "Drive B:"

Seems simple enough... and thought it would be.   But I have a green box around the B: drive saying that it is a "logical drive" when all my other partitions is not a green box around it, and other partitions say they are "Primary Drive", which I assume is desirable for my new drive B: or "Primary Drive" like all the others.

(the key of dark green at the bottom of the screen says it's an "extended" instead of the dark blue 'primary' partition partition.  Guess it is a simple thing... but for the life of me, I can't figure out on my own... Please help.)

Thanks in advance.

Fresco,

The reference to documents by TOM are on-site.  The green box shows the extended partition that can be cut upward into logical partitions.

Bottom line: normal situation

  • How to partition a hard drive for a B50-70 for Linux? No problem with that?

    Hello

    How to partition a hard drive for a B50-70?

    I want to install Linux and keep Windows 8.1 also.

    This will affect the software factory example: back up hard drive function, OKR?

    Problems partitioning B50 of the 1970s?

    Is it acquisitions have 8.1 Windows on a laptop Lenovo-B50-7?

    I've not seen / heard of successful use of the flash drive for recovery purposes. The default software using optical disk, when I used it on my G580.

    If your laptop does not have a CD / DVD burner, you may need to contact them directly to discuss this option.

    As to where he is? It is a hidden partition on the hard drive, is usually not accessible.

    Cloning the hard drive can not return to that partition hidden - it would be a little bit the clone of the drive to work.

    I recommend to download your manual of maintenance on the Support site and learn more about the 100% specific for your laptop recovery process.

  • Omen of HP: How to partition again my SSD 512 HP omen?

    I recently bought a HP omen (windows 8.1, i7 processor, clock speed of 2.5 GHz, 512 GB SSD, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, 4 GB of VRAM).

    I'm having a problem with disk management (partitioning). When I open 'My computer', I noticed that my SSD is partitioned into two parts - CBank (460 GB) and Dshore (14 GB, HP recovery drive).

    Previously, I used to partition my HARD drive into two so that I use my Cshore to the files system and Dshore storage and program purposes. I work with many important files and programs that I fear could be lost in the event of a recovery of the system. I'm not even being able to partition my 460 GB CBank now under disk management.

    Please advice me in this regard on how to partition my CBank further and it is advisable to do this with SSD recent based computers laptops like mine.

    The first thing you need to do is to create a USB stick recovery. You will need a 16 GB flash drive.

    Be aware that any chenges in the recovery partitions will result in the loss of the ability to recover start-up or inside windows menu. Do not save anything in the score!

    Why do you say that you can not even partition your C: partition in disk management?

    Your operating system is partitioned into GPT format with UEFI support.  That means the main four-partition MBR partitions type limit does not apply. If you reduce the C: partition, you should be able to create multiple partitions without problem. Do not use the same drive letter that has the recovery partition.

    I highly recommend that you use a cloning software to clone a copy of your SSD, as he is currently in an external hard drive. I recommend using Backup software Paragon & Recovery 15.

    WARNING: since I'm a Microsoft MVP, Paragon Software provides copies me of reviewer of their software for me to see and use. I had great results with their backup products. Power completely backup hard drives allows me to really put the loans of HP product through the grinder.

  • How to: recover disk space by removing the updates of windows installation files

    Original title : Software updates to XP Pro do take the disk space that can be reclaimed by removing downloaded files?

    I want to recover disk space which can have useless files.  Once an update is installed, the downloaded file can be deleted and if so, where they are on my drive?

    Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7

    Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.

    These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
    NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."

    Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

    Don't NOT delete the folder $ $hf_mig

  • How to partition a Windows 10 XPS 15 9550 and safely add Linux?

    I just got my new XPS 15 and (cautiously) implemented as a workaholic scientific data. Windows 10 will be my main o/s, but I also want Linux.

    There is so much discussion on the forum I do not know what direction to follow.  It seems that the risk of dual-boot installation wiping areas of recovery Dell o/s during the partitioning of the disk.  So, it might be safer to just run Linux from a flash drive (or even run cygwin).

    On the other hand, it seems crazy to not partition a 1 TB drive, in any case. (On my desktop on measure I have partitions for operating systems, programs and data).  So, I need to know how to partition without risk - whether or not I put Linux on one.

    Are there standard operating procedures or guidelines of Dell on the partitioning and Configuring Linux in a dual-boot environment?

    Thank you!

    With dual-booting Linux and Windows, the Windows boot loader is not used - you are using the Linux boot loader (unless you choose the WUBI installation. Modern Linux distributions can use UEFI, and some can even use Safe Boot. Turn off Safe Boot in the BIOS and install Linux. Linux boot loader will be used and will give you the option to start Windows or Linux.

  • How to allocate disk space for vCenter server logs

    Hello

    I plan to level 4.1 to 5.5 U2d vCenter on the customer site. One of the conditions set out in the vSphere upgrade guide is:

    "In vCenter Server 5.x, the default size for vCenter Server connects is larger than in vCenter Server 4.x. make sure that the disk space allocated for the log folder is sufficient for this increase 450MB."

    My question is how to allocate disk space for the log file and where can I find the disk space allotted to file papers to vCenter 4.1 existing?

    Just see the free space on the partition where the vCenter server logs are stored. If it is insufficient, increase the size of the virtual disk and then increase the file system to the guest OS.

  • How to increase disk space without guest operating system reinstallation

    Hello

    I take advantage of VMWARE with linux host and vista 64 comments, but I encountered a problem, running out of disk space.

    During the installation of VISTA, I chose 25 GB of disk space, as recommneded by IG of installation).

    Now I need more space.

    According to the virtual disk manager, I did

    VMware-vdiskmanager mydisk.vmdk 40 GB - x

    increase to 40 GB. It seemed to work, as I received a message,

    "Disk expansion completed successfully."

    Now "The VM setting" windows says HD 40 GB. But internally under VISTA, disk space is always 25 GB. In fact, the size of disk file (view on the side of linux) is only 22 GB. No idea how to increase disk space. He must start from the installation, but it's a little painful.

    Thank you.

    If the guest is Vista or Windows 2008, then you should be able to extend the partition while the system is running.

    Take a look at this article: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial133.html

    Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 won't let you do that, while the disk is online.  Vista and Windows 2008 changed things.

    For versions of Windows Vista/2008, look for the Dell ExtPart.exe utility, as it will do the job for you.

    See you soon,.

    Why not install Linux under VM?  No partitioning or boot sector don't risk ca OSX.  And unless you plan to video editing in Linux, the "virtual video driver" should be sufficient for all operations.

    By the way... VM runs simultaneously with OSX to share information.  Virtual machine image can live on an external drive, so DO not take room away from OSX.

  • How to increase disk for/tmp space in virtual machine?

    People,

    Hello. I use VM Player 3. My host computer is Windows 7 and VM is Oracle Linux 5.10.

    When I copy a virtual machine host machine (1.2 GB) file, the error message appears:

    "Unable to write file in Virtual Machine.Aborting the copy file operation."

    To be able to copy the file into the virtual machine, it takes about 2 GB of disk space free for the folder/tmp.

    I cleaned all the files in the directory/tmp which is now empty. After that, I ran the cammand:

    $df h/tmp

    Its output:

    File system: / dev/map/VolGroup00-LogVol00

    Dimensions: 95G

    Used: 90G

    Available: 48 M

    : Use 100%

    Mounted on: /.

    As you see above, it has only 48 M free disk space, the file size is 1.2 GB to copy.

    My question is:

    How to increase disk space for "available: 48" to the directory/tmp in VM Oracle Linux 5.1 so that can copy the file?

    Thanks in advance.

    The log files are rotated. You have only the *.log files, but the former obsolete log files too. Are named name.log001 name.log002 and so on.

    Check out some of the files you found the log files and remove turned the oldest logs first. Once you have deleted a couple check if cela disk space savings.

    In theory, you can remove all of the log files, but be careful that no server component runs when you do that. Otherwise the logging stops until you stop and restart the component. If you are not sure if something is running, start with swivelled out newspapers.

  • How to partition a table

    Hi all

    I use oracle 10g R2 64 bits on 64-bit windows server 2008.

    I am facing problem with a table, which seems to be supposed to be a table partitioned, because it expects the 80000 lines per year.

    This is the normal table for the table script

    create table Leave_Request (Leave_request_id number primary key,
                                              emp_id number references emp(emp_id) not null,
                                              leave_type_id number references leave_types(leave_type_id) not null,
                                              leave_apply_date date not null,
                                              leave_from_date date not null,
                                              leave_to_date date not null,
                                              remarks varchar2(3000));
    

    What is known, is that an index would be created to Leave_request_id automatically.

    now, my question is how to partition? How to create its index score?

    I read a few pages on the partitions and the notion of partitioning, but always confused with my situation.

    an example would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    First of all you must decide the column on which you want to partition in function. As you expect 80000 lines per year, you can partition it on the date column for example leave_apply_date with the partition of the RANGE.

    What is known, is that an index would be created to Leave_request_id automatically.

    No you need write explicitly create index statement to create indexes.

    now, my question is how to partition?

    Here is an example:

    CREATE TABLE sales_range

    (salesman_id NUMBER (5),)

    salesman_name VARCHAR2 (30),

    Sales_Amount NUMBER (10),

    Sales_Date DATE)

    PARTITION OF RANGE (sales_date)

    (

    PARTITION sales_jan2000 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('02/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY')),

    PARTITION sales_feb2000 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('03/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY')),

    PARTITION sales_mar2000 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('04/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY')),

    PARTITION sales_apr2000 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('05/01/2000','MM/DD/YYYY'))

    );

    How to create its index score?

    Just add keyword LOCAL at the end of the create index example statement

    CREATE INDEX abc_ix_01 ON test (last_update_time) LOCAL app_index TABLESPACE;

    For more information, read Tables and partitioned indexes .
