How to join the partitions in an external hard drive?

I have an external hard drive. Empty, but divided into two partitions. (I see two drives)

How can I meet two partitions?

I tried using the disk utilities, but I got the message that I couldn't change the partitions.

(In Dutch: "Deze kan niet worden gewijzigd partitie"; in English, something like: "this partition is not editable")

What is the procedure that you follow?

1. Select the disk in the sidebar that contains the partition you want to enlarge, then click on the Partition.

2. in the list of available Partition, select the partition in the partition you want to enlarge, then click on remove.

The partition is immediately erased, leaving the space it occupied available.

3. resize the partition by doing one of the following:

• Drag the separators between the partitions in the list of available Partition.

• Select a partition in the Partition layout list, and then enter a value in the size field.

4. click on apply.

  • How to reset the password forgotten on external HARD drive

    Hello

    I forgot the password of my external hard drive.
    How can I reset this?

    It has all my photos out there I want to come back.

    The external HARD drive comes with software that the password. Have you used this software?

    I m not very well what HARD drive you have exactly, but in the case of the password disk HARD unknown could be deleted, so I guess that by using such software.

    But I'm afraid, this is not possible and if yes, then secure files could serve more than m.

    I say it in a different way: password protection would be useless if you can remove any unknown or forgotten password. Don't you think?

  • Restore the backup to an external hard drive

    original title: if I reinstall my Vista, how to make the backup on an external hard drive? Is it a procedure drag-and - déposer? I use a Seagate external hard drive and there is no help section.

    Have run the back up to the external hard drive, I would like to know how to use it when I reinstall Vista Home Premium system.

    Also, I tried to check the hard disk for errors, and he has not finished the event.

    Assuming that you used the backup of Vista and made program a full backup and not an image backup (although some of these procedures include the restoration of a full image backup), here is some information to help you restore data.  Try to read or at least most of the analytical documents before you start, so you get a good understanding of the process and the procedures involved.  Restoring from an external hard drive is a little different from restoring a secondary internal hard drive, CD/DVD or Flash drive or on the network (although quite close to the procedure of network). If you have used the Vista backup program, you can not restore using drag-and-drop - you must use Vista restore program.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works and even when it does not).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How to move Photo videos to an external hard drive?

    Short videos pile up in my PHOTO program and want to spend 129 of them in an external hard drive... the export function does not allow me to set the location for the export... which I find strange, after I selected all of the files to be transferred. Everyone has understood how to do this without resorting to individual transfers of each file?

    I'm on a laptop Mac Pro with El Captain running and Photo Version 1.3 (350.23.0). It should be simpler than that... not?

    Export requires two steps:

    • Select first quality, the regime, the regime of subfolder, and then click 'export' of file naming.
    • Now, you will see a file selector Panel to select the location on your external hard drive in the Finder.

    How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

    my model is vgn-cr323.

    Thanks in advance

    Let me provide you with General information on how you can transfer data from your computer to an external drive.

    To transfer the data, plug the USB cable into the correct port. Usually, your computer will know that he has a new disc attached and a pop box up will warn you. It will scan to determine what to do with the new connection and your computer will assign a drive letter (for example, drive G: and so on.) This will allow you to transfer data to the external hard drive just like you would move files on your internal hard drive.

    Once you have the USB cable plugged into your computers port (and the other end plugs into the external drive) you can now start to save files you want on the external hard drive.

    Open the item (s) or folder (s) you want to transfer or save on your external hard drive. There are two ways to save external hard disk 1). If you have only one or two things to save, you can open each item, click on file / record under... and choose the letter/drive (for example, drive G corresponding to that of your external hard drive, click Save.) This he recorded on the external hard drive.

  • I don't see the photos on my external hard drive with windows Vista Home Basic

    Hello

    I bought an external hard drive Sansung to save all my music, but when one copy all my external music files hard drive thumbnails disappears. I uncheck the "always show icons, never thumbnails" in folder options, I tried large icons on display options, I even checked "display thumbnails instead of icons" on the Visual effects tab in the Panel of the Performance in Advanced system settings. ' " Prevented, Windows Vista is not able to see the photos in my external hard drive.
    What should I do?...
    Looking forward to your audience you shortly.
    Thanks in advance,
    Charlie

    1. click Start allprograms,Accessories, System Tools folder and Disk Cleanup

    2 check the photos and click OK.
    NOTE: Cache view the size of your thumbnail. More browsing, it can make.

    3 click delete files button on the confirmation window.

    4 disk cleanup will now clear thumbnail cache and close.

    This should clear up your tiles and once you access the program again the cache database will be recreated with the right thumb nail (we hope).

  • I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

    I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

    Hi Phil,

    If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

    You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.

    Kind regards
