How to extend the partition on hard drive in windows xp?

Running windows xp, how to extend my disk partition to include the unallocated space?

Marie-Laure,

I noticed that Symantec has stopped Norton Partition Magic 8.0.

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!

  • partition on hard drive for windows vista Ultimate edition

    Hello iwant to repartition my HDD = 160 gigabytes to install windows vista ultimate on it so I would like to know how to make the partition (C) for windows vista ultimate

    You can decide yourself what size you want, superior to the minimum required by Microsoft, which is 40GBs (which is too little, in my opinion)

    Use the whole 160GBs as I already advised you, or decide for yourself!

    Those are your choices.

    Hello.

    You cannot add a small part of D: to C:.

    It's all or nothing.

    -What are you doing this > if ever you have given on D: you save which data > then you totally delete the D: and D: partion becomes now unallocated space > then extend you C: into this unallocated space to have a larger partition.

  • 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.

    Check out bad news.

    Unknown HARD disk password cannot be removed or deleted.
    In this case, the HARD drive is blocked and is no longer usable

    I think you can abandon this HARD drive and you can buy a new :(

  • How to identify the type of HARD drive / Serialnr

    Hello community,

    I would like to know if it is possible to identify what HARD drive I have access in practice:

    In a scenario of esxi 5.5, I have 2 or 3 identical HDDs which can be distinguished by the ability of (identical), and the identifier that is advertised to Configuration-> storage. Here, I see only identifiers like naa.5002455784d568d3, but where I can see the manufacturer, the model and - if possible - the serial number of this device?

    I would like to know which physical hard drive, specifically, is assigned to my storage.  OK, I could stop the esxi system and remove all hard drives except one and find the ID but I can identify the HARD drive also directly in the vsphere client?

    Thank you for any suspicion!

  • How to start in my external hard drive to Windows 7 on my iMac?

    Hello

    I new here and just want to start in Windows 7 with boot camp on my iMac running Mountain Lion.

    I was told this software can do, but I am confused how.

    My drive hard win7 is currently connected to my iMac via a usb adapter. How to start up in it?

    Thank you.

    There are additional manual changes must be made to the .vmx config file to allow the Virtual Machine to be suspended not and do not taken Snapshots in order to have it comply with the same conditions imposed on a partition boot Camp install Windows when it is running as a Virtual Machine.

    This was repeated several times in this forum by myself and others so you should be able to search and find details of I synopsized here.

    I had a quick glance, but you would be kind enough to post a link to this part.

    Take a look at: changing the file .vmx for your VM from VMware Fusion (1014782)

    To keep the Virtual Machine of suspension, you do not want to do when you use a physical disk, add the following option in the .vmx config file.

    suspended. Disabled = "TRUE".

    To avoid having the pictures taken using the following option syntax:

    ide0:0. DeviceType = "rawDisk.

    Note that if the physical disks hard was created as a (free) SCSI vs IDE, then ide0:0 would be scsi0:0.  Note that this option can be added automatically when adding a hard pointing to a raw disk, do not remember for sure and no were not I can test at then time, so the option may already be present but if not then add.

    Your writing on the USB connector - this USB connector is type - it is impossible to use this connector to connect with the computer.  It's only for the connection to another storage device or centralized printer - more on this subject is in the user guide:

  • Upgrade Vista to Windows 7, files using the second internal hard drive and Windows Easy Transfer.

    I have a desktop pc with 2 internal hard drives.  A hard drive has the BONE and the second hard disk is a separate partition.  (I do not combine hard drives using RAID.)  If I upgrade Vista to Windows 7, the upgrade will be to reformat hard disks or just a hard drive with the operating system?  Should I remove the second hard disk of the computer just to be sure?  The second hard drive must be reformatted for use with Windows 7?

    Thank you.

    You must install the upgrade in the Vista operating system.

  • Not able to recognize the Mac external HARD drive in Windows 7?

    When I plug in my external HARD drive friend formatted in Mac, window recognizes a new device, but the drive does not appear in Explorer winndow.

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to access this Ext HDD in Windows 7?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    I don't know why someone marked the message confused and imprecise by Ganesh B aissa as response - please fix this.
    In any case, perhaps this will help you-

    For OS X native file system is HFS +, it is unreadable by Windows natively.   If the drive is formatted in HFS + you might be able to read with tools 3rd party.

    In general, if you plan to use an external hard drive on a PC and MAC, it may be preferable to use the FAT32 format which support two operating systems.

  • Deleted the partition of hard drive on Equium A100-338

    I had to reinstall the product recovery disc factory settings worked well all but it seems to me removed WIN RE partition, which I think is data for recovery and diagnosis cannot get that back from the drive of product data and if so what should I do?

    Hello

    Whenever when you use delivered recovery DVD WIN RE partition will be created in front of the first partition (C).

    If you have the second partition (D) on your laptop, it will be also deleted. Unfortunately the procedure of recovery with Vista operating system is not very good as previous WXP. If please be carefula on this subject, as you may lose all the data saved on the D partition.
