HPE-400f: upgraded to SSD drive, partitions are left behind I need help to remove.

I upgraded to 250 GB SSD

I did the recovery disk and install it on the new SSD. How can I now safely remove partitions and merge it with the original disc of ssd? I want to use the 1 TB as a storage for programs to run off the SSD device how to do this and remove the operating system?

Greetings,

Please refer to thisarticleon partitioning and formatting a HARD drive using disk management.

Yet once, you will be able to remove the volume of the BONE and, possibly, volume HP_Recovery Microsoft disk management. The reserved 100 MB volume will likely be removed using third-party disk management software.

Do not use HP Recovery Manager to remove the HP_Recovery Partition. You remove the HP_Recovery Partition SSD , not the HP_Recovery Partition of HARD drive.

In addition, it is not necessary to remove the reserved partition of 100 MB system on the HARD drive because it is so small relative to the size of the HARD drive. It is hidden so you won't see it in Windows Explorer.

  • Several VSS writers fail and my backups are failling too. Need help!

    Several VSS writers fail and my backups are failling too. Need help:

    I have a desltop installed SP3 x 64 XP and a laptop with seven x 64 SP1. In both the machine that my backups fail. I'm trying to back up data by using boats to storage, backup Windows also is failling. I'm taking a full backup on a USB external drive (2 TB).

    I did "vssadmin list writers" and showing several writers are in the failed State.

    I've done SFC/scannow, it did not help. There is no error in the disk and Chkdsk.

    I don't know how VSS works and how to solve the problem. Help, please!

    A lot of people told me they found this informative article. That's why I upgraded that and display back again.

    -------------------------------------------------------

    Before you stat is working on this issue make sure that the volumes have no system disk/file error. Run Chkdsk and ensure.

    (1) in the case of a failure of backup/writer, we first check the drivers associated with the VSS backup.

    These drivers are:

    VOLSNAP. SYS

    NTFS. SYS

    SWPRV. DLL

    -Check the version of above mentioned MS 3 files and update using MS Hotfix.

    If we have installed other suppliers, who might be the supplier of StorageCraft, Symantec suppliers and suppliers of Acronis, he must ensure that their files are also updated.

    Note: You can see the list of suppliers using this command: VSSADMIN LIST PROVIDERS

    Some of the DRIVERS PROVIDER commonly find are:

    stcvsm.sys

    symsnap.sys

    snapman.sys

    (2) this step is performed only when we find him

    VSS writers in a failed State. If we find the stable writers and backups still fail, or we get errors, do not perform this step if you please.

    In this case, the VSS writers fail, we can delete the following registry key, after of course saving and restart the server.

    HKLM/Software/Microsoft/EventSystem/{26c.../Subscriptions.

    This key will be automatically recreated when you restart and writers should return to the stable state.

    The writers pending the completion status is not a problem. It's also good that Stable.

    We can do on the Server 2003, 2008 and 2008 R2 OS as well.

    However, in Windows Server 2003, after you delete and restart the "vssadmin list writers" server cannot display all the writers, in this case must register the dll:

    For a list of the dll files to register, please check KB: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940184

    Note: The reinstatement of dll in Windows Vista/2008 and especially is NOT recommended.

    (3) if we have only one / specificwriter (s) in a State of failure, which would always be SQL, EXchange, IIS or NTDS, then we have need to revive their respective service Console of service.

    If they fail repeatedly, then make sure that the application and its components are updated. See their respective engineers immediately. Make sure that the latest service packs and patches are installed.

    (4) make the foregoing, resolves generally 80 to 90% of the questions. If we believe that the issue is occurring, or we have VSS event errors, it may be the providers, the origin of the problem. If the creation of the snapshot does not properly, it can affect writers and other components involved.

    Please check providers using "vssadmin list providers. If we find any other provider, other than the Microsoft software shadow copy provider, we have to remove from the list.

    To do this: start the registry editor.

    HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VSS/suppliers/GUID.

    One GUID would be for Microsoft Software Shadow Copy provider. The other GUID would be for other providers such as StorageCraft. We will save the GUID, and then delete it. Then restart the machine.

    Now when we do vssadmin list providers, we will see only the default Microsoft provider.

    I have seen in many cases where our supplier of StorageCraft may not work properly and continue of not not the authors. In such

    case, if we get rid of the supplier, then the issue is resolved and not re occurs.

    -However this would impede the functionality of StoaregCraft or any other similar to this backup software.

    That's why to engage respective software tech support for further assistance.

    (5) If a shadow copy is enabled on the volume, make sure that the storage area is set to the default location.

    For example:

    If we take a snapshot of C: then the storage area should be C:

    We are changing that, if we do not have enough free space (at least 300 MB) free.

    We can click with the right button on the volume, goto the cliché tab and change it accordingly.

    Also note that the minimum value of the storage area should be 300 MB and maximum can be 3000 MB.

    We can also set any value between the two, which is a multiple of 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1500 etc... According to the available space.

    In the cases where errors in the event viewer on wait times (event id: 12298, 12310, 2004, 12290) then we also need to put the MinDiffArea in the registry.

    HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Volsnap

    Right side, new DWORD VALUE - "MinDiffAreaFileSize" - change and set the value between "300-3000 Mo" or any multiple

    300 between the two. Ideally, we can define it on 3000 MB which works even better if we have space.

    Ref: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826936

    (6) also, please make sure we have plenty of free space. If we go by the book, a snapshot requires at least 10% of the volume

    to be free.

    Storage controllers (SCSI/RAID controllers) could also be a problem and may need to be updated.

  • When I remove a remains of the object of an adjacent object are left behind

    When I use the patch tool or corrective tool to remove an object in photoshop, remnants of the adjacent object are left behind. For example, the hand of the father of the child that I need to remove I (he held the head of the baby with a finger) and when I try to remove it, somehow parts of the Cape of the baby are settled there.  Any suggestions?

    Photoshop of smart, but does not know which areas are safe and which are not.  When Content Aware Fill came out I was super impressed, but he used to introduce undesirable elements in fixed areas.  My solution was to select the areas of security of the layer and copy it into a new layer.  Then use College on the copied layer so that it had only safe pixels to draw.   What I tend to do these days is to divide the school into small pieces.  PS seems to do much better when asked to set smaller areas.

  • HP Pavilion 15-p211ne: upgrade to ssd drive

    Hello

    I recently bought a new HP Pavilion 15-p211ne and I want to replace the optical drive with ssd drive, I have the following questions:
    1 should I put the SSD as a secondary drive and reinstall windows, or it must be primary?
    2. What is the right size: 9.5 mm Universal SATA 2nd disc HARD SSD Hard Drive Caddy for CD / DVD-ROM optical Bay or 12.7 mm
    3. is there an official Universal SATA drive 2nd HARD SSD Caddy drive for CD / DVD-ROM optical Bay of HP, and is it safe to install no hp caddy on my new laptop computer.

    Kind regards

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    It is a 9.5 mm optical drive. See page 63 for removal instructions. You can use any optical drive SATA 9.5 mm hard drive adapter tray. HP is no 'official' part, so you must use a version of alternative, and they are widely available. Try jacobsparts.com.

    However, the SATA interface for the optical drive is slower and will not support booting from the hard disk into the adapter. So I advise you not to put a SSD in one of these adapters because it will not run at full speed.

    The optimal configuration is an SSD as main boot drive and a mechanical drive in pure storage adapter.

    Unfortunately, access to the hard drive inside the laptop is a little difficult and potentially void the warranty if you mess up anything in the process. The manual contains instructions to access the hard disk (p. 88), and these videos show the removal of the top cover (on a closely related model) which is the hardest part:

  • Adding an SSD for Acer Aspire VN7 - 591G - 70RT (need help)

    Hello

    I have an addition an Acer Aspire VN7-591 G-70RT with a slow 5400 RPM 1 TB WD Blue that creates a bottleneck in my laptop.

    I checked on Crucial to see if there are compatible SSD for my laptop which recommended:

    MX200 crucial m2 Type 2280 (Single Sided) 250 GB internal SSD

    I was wondering, do anyone know if this information is correct? I was having mixed information online, 250 GB wouldn't cut my storage needs, if I could only get a 2.5 SSD "so my intention is to have an SSD 250 installed and my 1 TB HARD drive.

    Also, if the SSD was not the main drive would I still see the benefits of installing games who him? As in would be the existing WD blue always be causing a bottleneck?

    Any help with this would be appreciated!

    I have the device works now, I installed the MX200 Crucial m2 250G without any problem. Here's how.

    WEAR AN ANTI STATIC BAND:

    Step 1) remove all the screws on the underside of the laptop

    Step 2) use spudger or credit GENTLY lift a gap between the keyboard and the base, then use the credit card to slide slowly into the space to jump open clips, NOT FORCE.

    Step 3) (OPTIONAL) remove the keyboard connectors by moving clip and gently remove the cable from the Jack. However the HARD drive slipped in for me without necessary to detach.

    Step 4) unplug original WD HDD blue reversing the clip and disconnect the cable

    Step 5) close laptop together and boot with Windows 10 USB install

    Step 6) install windows on new SSD (for me windows automatically activated via the BIOS/UEFI) if it doesn't happen for you, simply re-attatch the original HARD disk.

    Step 7) if the activation is successful, again set HARD drive and original format. I have kept all the original ACER RECOVERY and Partitions (Healthy) in case I need to restore factory default, but formatted primary partition.

  • Uninstallers often times not clean up after themselves, entered of registry, empty program files, the files are left behind, why?

    I've always wondered why Microsoft allows programs to leave traces of themselves behind and rarely will a program and its installer actually withdraw completely from a system, now I mean not only the obvious traces of itself not always their required files, settings etc registered.

    If a user chooses to remove a program, it must be completely removed from the system without either traces left behind, if I chose to keep the previous settings an applications on my system which is a little different, rarely does the user choose this during a move.

    So my main question on what this issue is, what is up? Why it got thrown into Vista, will be Windows 7 may take over in this area.

    Artfuldodga,

    Thus, as said by Brent, Microsoft does'nt write UN-Installer. As such, it is really the companies that write the uninstall programs you should have problems with, it is to them to write a program to withdraw completely or not. MCP. MCDST. LVL 80

  • Can I add a third hard drive to h9 Pavilion HPE currently have an SSD drive and a SATA drive?

    HP Pavilion HPE h9 (Phoenix), win 7 64

    Can I add a third SATA drive to my system?  The specs say three bays are available, but when I ordered it I could not add a third (or greater than 1 TB drives).  Is there something on the SSD that changes the spacing of the drive Bay?  I prefer not to take the walk outside if there is no way to add another drive.

    Hello

    Please report the number of HP for your PC product.

    You review this article and video?  You will need to remove the cage hard disk to install the third hard disk. In general, the SSD is in the middle of each side mounting with HDDs of 3.5 ".  Hard drive cage is made for three hard disks.

    The specifications indicate theProvisioning for three hard drives on this particular model. The firm seems to be the same as the other two models HPE H9.

  • Need help to remove the hard drive from a Satellite Pro M10

    Hi, a good will would point me in the right direction. I am trying to remove the HD from a satellite pro M10.
    I discovered the net without success.

    A diagram with being usefully etc.

    kind regards J

    Hello

    I can't give you a diagram or something, but I can give an indication to take a look on the front left side of your machine. On this corner of the left side under the volume control is a small blanket where the HARD drive is in. You need only to unscrew the 2 screws that are accessible when you turn on your machine and and look at the bottom of your machine. Do you know what I mean?

    When you remove these 2 screws, you need to remove the HARD drive by taking some screwdriver flat-blade and paste between the disc cover and HARD case. Then carefully remove the cover of the HARD drive and you can recover the HARD drive with the cover and exchange it.

    Voila, your hard drive West. It s is not difficult at all.

    But if you still have some questions then request.

    2. not the problem only occurs when the access to Web sites book marked?

    3 when was the last time it was working fine?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.
