How to extend a partition that cannot be moved or deleted.

I'm looking to extend a hard disk partition which has the Xp os on it and I don't know how to extend, I can't upgrade the disk to dynamic disk.

need help please.

Why do you want to upgrade the disk to dynamic disk? In this case, you cannot extend a partition on a dynamic disk. But you can extend a partition on a basic disk.
Depending on your XP operating system, I suggest you use the free partition manager - Partition Wizard which can resize/move partition without losing data and extend NTFS system partition without reboot.

  • How to extend the partition that has free space on the left with diskpart

    I bought an SSD and made a second partition on my HARD drive to transfer my data. I had planned to clone and move the light to my SSD partition, but read that I was better to do a new install. I made a new installation on the SSD drive, deleted the old partition of Windows 7 and went to add to the data partition unallocated space (unallocated space is to the left of the partition). I know that you can not do this with disk management, but I've done it before on my laptop Windows 7 by using diskpart. I found an article earlier about how use diskpart to do what disk management may not, but I don't know how or where I found it.

    I know I can do it with applications 3rd party like GParted, but knowing that it is possible, but don't remember how to do it with diskpart is driving me crazy. Can someone help me?

    Hi Schwaka,

    As a general rule, it is very easy to extend the partition when the free space is right behind, but what can you do with the space left? Most people will feel that it is really a great difficulty.

    Do not worry! Here I recommend you an easy to use, software AOMEI Partition Wizard Server Edition. It is so common among computer users and most of the people speak highly.

    Your problem, there are two choices for you. We have to move the space unallocated behind, and the other is to merge the free space on the data partition. Both functions may not be permitted in Windows 7 disk management. In addition to the two features, more functions are supported to manage your drive.

    Have fun with it!

    Best wishes!

    Try a Chkdsk. There have been cases where data after doing a Chkdsk/r, so make sure that your data is backed up on an external first.

    Click to open the computer. Right click on the hard drive you want to check, and then click Properties. Click on the Tools tab and then, under error-checking, click check now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will simply report a problem, but not to fix them.

    To perform a full disk check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This scan is trying to find and repair physical errors on the hard drive itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    Click Start.

    Depending on the size of your hard disk, this may take several minutes. For best results, do not use your computer for any other tasks while it checks errors.

    Note: If you select automatically errors in file system of fix for a disc that is used (for example, the partition that contains Windows), you will be prompted, see the disk check for the next time you restart your computer.

  • How to extend the partition C on Satellite L450 - 17K

    Hello

    I'm working on how I can change the size of the partition on my hard drive my C drive is nearly full, and D is a pain to keep anything on that most of what I have links to my Ipad that does not detect it when its on drive D!

    Is there anyway to delete the partition or change the size of it without losing my data or having to restart my system?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    It is possible to change the size of the partitions in the management of the disks in win 7.

    But you will not be able to shrink the partition D and add this free space on the C partition using the Windows option because the free space would be created after the D partition.
    To move the free space between D and C partition a 3rd party software is necessary.

    I recommend the use of a tool called * GParted.*

    It s freeware and you can use it to manage your partitions on the HARD disk.

  • How do I know the partition that is moved within the storage space?

    I'm currently moving the partitions of a table to reclaim space and I do not transfer to another tablespace, in other words, I just move into the storage space.

    The tablespace contains one table.

    The most difficult part of putting them in the same tablespace is now, that I could not easily identify which partition to date is moved. When I created the script to move partitions, I've sorted them all first.

    I asked the DBA_SEGMENTS and learned the segment_type is TEMPORARY and that the size continues to change right away.

    The nom_segment is "37.75756073" and does not say clearly what partition is moved.

    I know that the '37' part. It's a the file_id. But what is this "75756073"? I checked the object_id and data_object_id from DBA_OBJECTS, but he did not show everything.

    I questioned the block_id from DBA_EXTENTS, but neither did - it show the nom_partition.

    Any other ideas?

    Watch LAST_DDL_TIME to the USER_OBJECTS partition (the name of the table would be OBJECT_NAME and the name of the partition would be SUBOBJECT_NAME "PARTITION TABLE" would be the OBJECT_TYPE) to identify the last partition that has been moved.  Given that your script is the partition names ordered, you would know the next parttiion after it - such next partition would be one that is currently "moved".

    Hello

    Jackin salvation,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers community.

    When resizing of volumes in Windows7, you must be aware of the following criteria:

    • Only you have the possibility to reduce or enlarge NTFS or RAW (unformatted) partition using Windows 7 tools.
    • When you shrink a partition, files not movable as a page file or a shadow storage area are not resettled. This is why you cannot reduce the size of the Windows beyond volume where these types of files. If you need to reduce the volume, you will need to remove, move or delete the page file or the shadow first storage area, and then reduce the volume and then add the page file or shadow storage on the disk area.
    • If enough bad clusters are found on the disk partition will not shrink.
    • You must be logged on to an administrator account in order to resize Windows Volumes in windows 7.

     

    Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes of shrinkage

    This section shows must shrink a Windows volume or partition. To do this, we must open the Windows 7 disk management tool. The following steps will guide you in this process.

    1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop , and then click the Control Panel menu option.

    2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

    3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

    4. Double-click the computer management icon. The console of the computer management will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

    5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'm going to resize the partition E: of 16 GB so that when completed, there is a 8 GB partition and provides another 8 GB of free space I can use for other purposes.

    6. To shrink the partition, just click with the right button on the partition that you want to work with and select reduce . In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, I select shrink.

    7. A screen similar to the one below appears. This screen indicates the size of the current partition you, how you can reduce it to a field where you can enter a specific amount to reduce, and then how big partition will be once it shrinks. By windows 7 default enters the maximum amount that you can reduce the volume, but if you want to change this amount, do so by entering the amount in MB in the enter the amount of space to shrink in MB: field. When you are satisfied with how windows 7 will shrink the partition, click the minimize button.

    8. Once windows 7 is complete decreases the volume, you will be in the disk management screen, but now the partition size will be the size you requested as shown below.

    Now that you have reduced the size of your volume of Windows, you can close the computer management console.

    You have now finished reducing your score and you have the extra space available for use as required.

    Windows 7 Partitions or Volumes extension

    This section shows that you must extend a Windows volume. To do this, we must open the tool of disk management where we can resize our volumes. The following steps will guide you in this process.

    1. Click the button on the Start Menu in the bottom left of your desktop, and then click the Control Panel menu option.

    2. When Control Panel opens, click on system and Maintenance category.

    3. When opens in system and Maintenance category, scroll down and click on Administrative Tools.

    4. Double-click the computer management icon. The computer management console will now open. Down, you will see a category called storage and under this category will be the disk management icon, as shown below.

    5. Click on the disk management icon, and you will now be in the disk management utility as shown in the figure below. This utility you can see all the partitions on your computer and format, delete, create, develop or resize them. For this tutorial, I'll extend the E: partition so that it uses the rest of the available space on the disc 1.

       
    6. To extend the partition, he just click right-click on the partition that you want to work with, and then select the Extend option. In this example, I click right on the E: partition and in the menu that appears, select Extend.

    7. A wizard appears as shown below. Press the Next button to continue.

    8. A new screen, shown below, is displayed allowing you to select the free space available on your local hard disks that you can use to extend the space of the selected partition. It is important to note that Windows 7 allows you to extend a volume using free space on the same drive as well as the other disks. I strongly suggest that you do not extend a volume on a disk with free space of the other. It is because if one of the disks has a hardware failure, then all data on this volume will be removed. Rather just to use the free space on a drive that contains the volume you extend
      .

      As discussed in step 5, for this tutorial we are going to extend my 8 GB partition (drive E :) to the total size of disk 1 using all the available space. As disk 1 is only available free space on my computer, windows 7 automatically select as shown in the image above and use the maximum amount available to extend the partition. If there were other drives with free space that they have shown during the selection available . If you want to extend the volume to a lower amount you can change in the Select the amount of space in MB: field. In the contrary case, press us the button Next .

    9. You will be now be presented with a confirmation screen. If you are sure you want to extend the volume, press the Finish button. Otherwise, press the back button to make changes or the Cancel button to cancel this operation.

    10. Once Windows 7 completed to extend the volume, you will be on the screen disk management, where you can see the amount that you have extended with the new size. An example of this is shown below.

    At this point, you can close the Management window of the computer that your task is completed.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • How can I make use of TC partitions and make sure that the file analysis is on the right partition?  I do not see the partitions that I have done in the Finder, but I can drag and drop the files in the folder 'Data' unique under Finder/Shared/TC.

    MacBook Air, OSX 10.10.3, 128 GB; 2 TB Time Capsule ME177LL/A.

    Final objective: use Time Capsule as a Time Machine for my MacBook Air and as a storage solution for large files that I don't want permanently on my MacBook Air.

    So far, I've implemented the TC and set up Time Machine on the TC.  I was able to create 2 partitions on the TC using disk utility then that TM was a backup and the disk was recognizable in disk utility.

    Under Finder/shared, I see the TimeCapsule 'airport', and when I click on it it is a file called "Data".  I was expecting to see my two partitions here.  Under 'Features' is a ' Zissou31 MacBook Air (3)"sparsebundle file and I can also create folders here and drag and drop files on the TC here.  I can see the partitions in disk utility, but how do I see/use the partitions I created in the Finder?

    I fear that this may not be set up correctly and I'm either losing on an entire partition I created or these files dragged/dropped may be at risk of overwriting of TimeMachine.  How can I make sure that the file analysis is on the appropriate partition?

    I disabled TimeMachine and go back to see if I could 'point' to one of the partitions, but the "Data" folder is the only thing that TimeMachine seen.  How do I point time Machine for one of the partitions?

    Thank you!

    In addition, in disk utility, I can see one of the partitions TC is related to the time Machine, indicated by the icon Time Machine green bottom left, but two partitions seem to fall under "Zissou31 of the MacBook Air (3) .sparsebundle.
