How to live resize partitions 2 existing partitioned drive?
I have a 1.5 to - 2 partitioned drive I need to change the size of the partition 2. I need to make a smaller partition 1 and 2 large partition.
I have place to decrease the partition 1, so that I can increase the partition 2.
First of all, I reduce the size of partition 1, but am I that reason... until what I click on "Apply" in the bottom right of the disk utility window, that computer still considers that this hard drive is partitioned with the sizes of origin? And so if I simply decrease the size of the score graphically in the interface, then click on partition 2, I see the text: this partition cannot be resized.
So if I am wrong in this assumption, I must decrease partition 1 and apply. Then I can select partition 2 and increase it with the newly created space in partition 1?
If she is correct, when I click on apply in the first stage, the newly created space turn into another partition the partition between 1 and 2? And the next step would be to combine this small new partition in the original partition 2? Here are a few screenshots to better explain.
NOTE: Yes, I know that I need these 2 partitions to backup before applying resizing.
If I can reduce the size of partition 1, whose interface seems to help, I guess that with the good implementation, I should be able to expand the partition 2.
I use Lion 10.7.5 on a Mac Pro.
Thank you

No, it doesn't work like that.
You can reduce the size of partition 1, but you will not be able to reclaim that space for the 2nd partition. You need to remove the 2nd partition, and then add it back.
But beware, your free space currently for your 10.6.8 partition is marginal, in order to reduce the size of this partition does not seem a good idea. You may no longer be able to start from such a unit.
One of the disadvantages of partitioning is that you can not redistribute their sizes without redoing the readers.
Overall, you have not enough free space on this drive.

How to identify / resize partitions on Satellite L300D-06N
People,
My son has a Satellite L300D-06N and I'm trying to optimize its HD.
In the windows storage management window, it seems that there are 4 partitions on its HD 250 GB (of which two are hidden). There is a C: (216 GB) who seems to be holding. D: (7.7 GB), which seems to be empty. There is also a partition of 1.46 GB non-lettre (hidden?) called "EISA Configuration" and another (?) hidden partition 7,57 GB.
I guess one of them is the so-called recovery partition which holds an original image of the system drive (c :) only?). But what would the other?
And who is that?
I can also resize partitions C: and D:? I would like to keep the C: folder for the operating system and any program installs and uses the D: drive as its repository of data. But the C: drive currently has 150 GB free space, I want to take about 100 GB and reallocate to D.
If I resize C: and D: this effect the recoverability of restore the C: drive if I ever? And can they just be resized through the management of storage Windows Vista (I'm used to XP and have used Partition Magic on my other XP system, but I understand that it does not work on Vista).
Thanks in advance.

Hello
As far as I know, there should be only one hidden partition containing Vista backup files. This partition is created automatically by Vista and it s need for some processes of repair if something would be wrong with the operating system.
The other partition must contain the Windows Vista, drivers and other applications.
The next partition must communicate with Toshiba HARD drive recovery files.
This HARD drive recovery could be in the order of the group without the use of recovery disks!I have used the magic of partitions in Win XP too, but it didn t work in Vista OS.
But I could use the free tool called Gparted. It s a software opens and you can use it for free. -
Resized partition Boot Camp, now cannot start Windows
I have a MacBook Pro (with the retina) with a 128 GB SSD which was, until recently, evenly divided 50-50 between Mac and Windows 8.
However, I need more space on the size of Windows, so I reduced the size of the Mac partition to 40 GB and then, because for some reason I couldn't expand the Boot Camp one, I had to create another partition that I could use to put my stuff in side Windows.
I did this via Windows.
I now, weeks later, started in Mac for the first time since, and now I can't get back into Windows. The partition is not present on the desktop, or in the boot disk utility.

Resize Partition Windows Server 2003 comments operating system operating system
Hello
I need to improve some of my Windows Server 2003 VMS to 2008 to take advantage of some new features, but due to constraints of size of drive when these 2003 VMs were created, they have very small OS partitions. I can resize the disk located in the partition, but I wonder how can I resize the partition so that I'll have enough free space to upgrade in-place to Windows Server 2008.
I don't know there is a clever trick to do this with VMWare...
Thank you in advance.
I also found using VMware Converter is the best solution and simpler if you have space just clone with great drive and connected with this or remove the old servers and it always works great.
If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

I fitted with a 1 TB drive to my macbook, then partitioned several times, all good so far, everything works.
I use two connections, staff and work. My 'work' connection I have one partitioned drive named "work" which I use as an archive / storage for all work related data, far from any current activity. How to create a shortcut for just this partition to 'work' on the desktop?
I tried Finder > Preferences > general - show these items on the desktop, hard drives of ticks. But it shows then all partitioned drives.
The partitions must be included in the side bar of the Finder to choose. You can also click with the right button on a volume and select 'add to dock '. I don't know how to add an alias on the desktop.

How to configure the partition table for SSD?
Drive: 32 GB SSD
I accidentally delete without backup partition table information and would like to know how to put the partition table, I can access the tools of partition table, but do not know how to define.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions
Hello
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
The SSD could be seen in the disk management window, and you could name and set up as another hard drive internal. To create a partition or volume on a hard disk, you must be logged in as an administrator, and there must be unallocated disk space or free space in an extended hard disk partition. To repartition your hard drive, please consult the following link and check if it helps.
I can I repartition my hard disk?

How to make a partition during the installation of ESXi 5.0
Dear Sir.
I want to install ESXi 5.0 on my HP compaq 6200MT machine, I have 2 500 GB HARD drives. Problem is I don't know how to create the partition and in what phase of the installation.
When I run Setup it does not give me any part where I should partition.
Moreover, I want to install ESXi 5.0 in the format below.
/ 5120 MB ext3
1600 MB swap
/ Home ext3 2048 MB

Your help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thank you

The ESXi uses about 5 GB of disk space for internal use, the rest could be used for your virtual machines. Running a Microsoft Cluster virtual has many different conditions, but it might be possible to install in your situation (assuming of course that it is a test configuration). See this document for more information on the configuration of the "cluster-in-a-box", page 10:
