How to delete hard drive partitions

Can someone help to give me advice on how to remove my hard drive on my Satellite 2520 partitions? Partitions only appeared after using the system now recovery disk, I have c:d:e: disc where as before didn't the c: folder. This caused me problems when you try to install programs like not enough space available now.

Hi Luke,.

Your recovery CD has two options for the installation of your system. The first option is just to format your hard drive and then install a single partion \C: on which your operating system is mounted. The second option is "Advanced" installation in which you can partition your hard drive in any format you want so that you end up with a multiple logical disks \C:, \D:. \E: etc.

The second option is preferred by many users because it allows them to keep their user data on a separate partition of their operating system.

As for your problem, you might return to a partition of acronym of re-installing your recovery CD by using the "standard installation", as described above, but then you lose one of your own stuff, unless you save first. Alternatively, you can get a copy of a third-party utility (for example, PartionMagic) to reformat your existing installation.

My personal preference would be a re - install from your recovery CD, but this will depend on how much you have added to your system, since you installed it last.

  • Satellite P750 PSAY1A: how to create the recovery Toshiba on the new HARD drive partition

    Hello

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022). I just upgraded my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB and am preparing to take my 500 GB HARD drive 1 TB. I had to order the disk online and wait to happen.

    I always try to understand how to create the arrival of my new HARD drive Toshiba Recovery Partition. I do the same thing for an old book, I handled based on something similar to it's original factory State.

    I have reflected on the recovery partition, but does not know how it was created. It is not NTFS. Does anyone have experience in the creation of a Toshiba Recovery on a new HARD drive Partition?

    And the help is very appreciated.

    Thanks and regards,
    Dinesh

    Recovery partition can be created when you use the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install recovery image. Before the partitions to boot OS install will be automatically created, recovery image copied on a recovery and then partition as last step recovery image installation starts.

    A sort of migration of files from one to the other HARD disk is not solution.

    Only for laptop with factory will work and the usable recovery partition.

  • How to copy the recovery on the new HARD drive partition, HARD drive failed?

    Hallo,

    I have a Compaq Mini netbook with Windows 7 Starter.

    The HARD drive has failed and it is not repairable. However, it seems that the recovery partition is OK.

    I want to buy a new HARD drive, install the driver on the netbook, and then use the tools/recovery partition to install windows 7 on a new PC.

    So, the question is simple: how to copy the recovery for the new HARD drive partition?

    Hello s91066.

    If your hard drive of your laptop doesn't have? If this is the case, what do you mean by the "recovery partition is ok? I doubt that this laptop has two hard disks, so if you are able to see this partition of your hard drive may still work.

    You will need a set of recovery disks to restore the partitions on the new drive. If you can start Windows, which you can probably not with a dead hard drive, you can follow these steps if you can get into Windows.

    If you are unable to boot into Windows, you need a set of disks. You can order it directly from HP. The number of the United States / Canada is 1-800-474-6836. If you are in another domain, you must visit HP's Support around the world to find contact information for your region.

    I hope that is useful; have a great weekend!

  • How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery

    How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

    Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

    With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

    Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

    Hello

    If you use the Vista operating system, you can partition the HARD drive running Vista.
    Just go to disk management. You can find in the control panel-> tools of Government (or something like that).

    In disk management, you can shrink the first partition C.
    On the free space of HARD drive, you will be able to create a new partition.
    I think you should see this option if you right-click on the partition.

    This procedure is very simple and I already did on my Vista computer.

    Good luck

  • How can I repair hard drive partitions?

    I have an external hard drive for backups formatted with Windows XP that I use now with my laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium. Recently, my son plugged into his Apple PC and tried to create a partition to back up its files. Apparently this corrupted the table to partition. I can get is all data on the hard drive.

    I looked at the drive by using:

    1 Windows 7 disk management

    2. Acronis Disk Director 11

    3. EASEUS Partition Recovery (last version)

    4 partition Wizard 5.2

    Neither of them could do anything except delete or format partitions.

    The partitions on my external hard drive are still there, but Acronis Disk Director shows the following information:

    Disc 1 (TPG)

    CAPACITY OF FREE SPACE OF THE VOLUME TYPE FILE SYSTEM STATE

    EFI 200 MB FAT32 200 MB GPT basic health

    Local 232.9 GB GB 226,7 basic GPT volume not supported in health

    Unallocated 128 MB

    Local volume 232 GB GB 218,6 GPT of base not supported in health

    Local 619,9 MB GB 130.1 basic GPT volume not supported in health

    Is anyway to repair the partition table and possibly access data?

    Thank you!

    I can't run Chkdsk because the drive is not visible in Windows or DOS except in disk management and Device Manager.

    I decided to give up and just clean the disk and re - format.  Thanks for your efforts to help.

  • How to reinstall the operating system after the broken hard drive partition?

    Hey guys, lately my HARD drive goes down, during the factory restore. I install a new blank HDD in your computer now. I can see my old HARD drive recovery disk, but cannot get it back.

    I have finished the form of recovery disk, but my warranty expired a few months ago as :( I have the product key that came with my cpu, which is window 7 Home premium. You are not sure if Dell will send me a recovery disk, if I have to buy a new window, or if there is some way I can restart the recovery partition?

  • How can I convert RAW hard Drives - Partition to Partition hard drives to NTFS without formatting hard drives?

    Hard drive has already been partitioned into E: pilot and H:. However, recently, the format of the driver: suddenly changed from NTFS to RAW. There are some important data in this driver. I don't want to format this driver, unless the data can be retrieved.

    I would like to ask for your help to find the solution for this problem.

  • How can I safely move a program to another hard drive partition?

    My C:\ drive becomes low in space so I want to move some programs on my external hard drive.  Can I do this without any problem?

    You can install programs on an external hard drive. Moving programs is a little more complicated. You must install them out of their current location and re - install the new.

    You want to do it "without problems". It is not so easy. If the program is correctly installed on the external drive and at a later date, the unplugged drive problems might appear. To be re-connected, in some circumstances, the player will be given a letter from different player than before. The program will become unusable until this that deleted and reinstalled. Similar problems can occur according to the habits of functioning.

    So, Yes, it is possible, but it is not recommended.

  • Question about hard drive Partitions

    My Satellite C650 bought recently has two equal size partitions - C (called Windows) and D (known as data). However, my "Users" folder and so all my data is stored on the C drive (with all programs) while the D drive and has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.

    How to move my file 'Users' the D drive - and if I do - it somehow it is interfering with the HARD drive folder?
    This can be as simple as move the users folder - but I'm not sure if the installation of 'Libraries' or all Office programs will always seek on the C drive for data.

    I would like some advice before as I did try.

    >... While the D drive has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.
    That s not the truth. You can use the free space on the second partition. HDDrecovery is just a folder where recovery image is saved. You can enter the folder properties and set it as invisible and you will see it.

    This recovery is important for two things:
    -for the creation of recovery DVDs
    -for HARD drive recovery procedure.

    Generally speaking, if you have created recovery DVD (highly recommended) you can delete this folder, but after doing this, you will not be able to create recovery DVDs or of the installation of recovery disk (F8 at startup).

    You have to understand how it works?
    If you have any other questions please let me know.

    We cannot see how your hard disk is configured

    We can only give you general information on this subject

    read the tutorial below well especially the steps below:

    Now it's time to choose the installation type. Update or custom are the choice, but as you can see, in this case, Custom is the only option. There are two points to note. The first is under Customs where it says you can use this option to change the disks and partitions. This is true to a point. You can create and delete partitions and resize a partition using the command 'Extend '. The second thing to note is that if you want to 'Upgrade '. you need start the installation from Windows inside.

    Once determined the type of installation, it's time to decide where to install Vista. As you can see on the screenshot options in this scenario are limited. There is a 20 GB hard drive and it is all unallocated space. If your intention is to return the entire disk in Vista with none of the additional partitions for other uses, all you have to do is click on disk 0, and then click the [next] button. The installation will continue.

    etc.
