• How can I partition my external drive? (Time Machine)

  Hello

  Time Machine doesn't accept my external drive (Seagate Backup Plus thin, 2 TB). It takes the format: "Mac OS extended (journaled):

  

  So I searched Google and found out, that I have to partition the external flash drive.

  So I opened the disk utility. But then I can't partition:

  

  What can I do? I really need to use Time Machine.

  My laptop: MacBook Air, 13', mid 2013

  Thanks for the responses,

  The drive must be formatted with a GUID partition map, your's with a Master Boot record.

  

  You can copy the content to the Seagate to your mac and format it correctly, partition and copy the data back?

• Flow 11: Can I partition my drive Flash Stick HP to create a recovery disc

  I have a HP USB 3.O 128 GB Flashdrive. He said that it is compatible to Windows 8. I don't know whether or not to use NTFS.  I can't find this information. Although the computer file system is NTFS, the flash drive file system matter? Can I use a card SDHC Sandisk FAT-32 for example? I have one of these institutions. Can I partition the 128 GB Flashdrive HP for this purpose for my recovery disk or do I need a dedicated flash player which is only used for recovery? Thank you.

  HP PC laptop flow 11 model: 11-d010nr, product number: K2L95UA #ABA, file system NTFS, Intel Celeron CPU N2840 2.16 GHz, RAM 2.00 GB, 64-bit x 64 based processor, 8.1 with Bing Windows operating system, HP USB 3.0 flash drive 128 GB, Sandisk Ultra SDHC 32 GB FAT 32 memory card

  You need a flash dedicated for this drive. The process will resume the entire drive by default - and format it however it requires. You probably have a 16 GB flash drive. Open Recovery Manager and it tells you what is the required size.

• I can create "logical drives", but do not have an "extended partition" - listen to me?

  Hello

  It's a no-brainer and I know not often asked the question, but I have not found a satisfactory answer. I use Acronis Disk Director 11 and have never had to worry about "extended partitions. I simply create "logical drives" when I reached the limit on the number of "primary partitions" on my drive. And yet everywhere you look, I find that I need to create the first "extended partition", which is defined as "an extended partition is a container that can contain one or more logical drives." It is the universal definition as every definition I've found the same bed. It's as if everyone uses this definition even without really explaining what an "extended partition" really is. All have made a leap of faith that that's all that needs to be said on the subject, even if not where is it explained what is this "container" and how it is created. Acronis made a reference to an "extended partition" in his glossary (if I remember) and leaves the matter as if it served no more utility. Someone explain to me how this "container" is created and why is it necessary I can create "logical drives" without ever invited to create an "extended partition."?

  I can't wait to finally put this issue to rest,

  Thank you

  Perri 26

  In the past, creating another partition, the other then primary school, said to the user that an extended partition has been created and then immediately in the process of user intervention to create logical drives in the breast of the space newly allocated.  Logical drives ARE essentially the "extended partition" up to a maximum of three in the extended partition on an MBR disk, and this is the limit of three in car that was important to know.

  In some ways, the information given at the time was better because it gave the user a more understanding of the functioning of the system. Nowadays, the vast majority of computer users are not experts and do not know how it works. They just want turn on and go... :-)

• 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

  Steven

  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.

• Accidentally set the permissions to deny (full control) to a partitioned drive

  Hello
  I admit, I made a huge mistake.

  I accidentally set the permissions to "refuse (full control)" for a partitioned drive D:\.

  In the tab titles of the D: drive when installing deny.
  I had four groups of users listed in the permissions list: authenticated users, SYSTEM, administrator and user.

  I'm sure I've hit on two of the four only: authenticated users and users.
  SYSTEM and administrator should have been left with the permission to allow it. (This helps?)

  In any case, you would know by now, I'm done with permission settings denied inadvertently on my partitioned D: drive and need some advice and help to reset this permission setting.

  FYI, I tried to run "takeown /f D:" in the command prompt run as administrator, but it is "ERROR: access denied."
  Also "icacls D:/grant administrator: F" returned "access is denied. Treated successfully, 0 files; Could not process files 1.

  Help!

  This assumes that the only thing on the D: drive is given. Start the computer with a Linux Live CD/USB key and copy all data on D: on another hard drive (internal or external USB, it's not bad). Delete the partition with gparted while staying in Linux. So now that the drive is a white, gross dur.* shut down the computer and unplug it. Then boot into Windows. You should see the C:\ drive of course. Stop the computer again, then connect your new blank disc and boot into Windows. Use Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management to create a partition, format the drive and assign it a drive letter. I would like to use something other than D:. With luck, it could work to remove all the permissions on this drive. If so, then just copy your data where you saved using Linux on the 'new' drive Linux is not honoring the Windows permissions so that the data should not carry the old restrictions.

  For the distribution of Linux, I prefer Knoppix, but many people also use Ubuntu.

  * I hope I've interpreted your original post correctly and you have two physical hard disks. You wrote 'drive partitioned D:\ ". "so it is ambiguous to me. If you really have that one disc physics on which you have created multiple partitions you can try to make meanings (with the exception of the bit of course disconnect). I don't know if it will work then, but at least you'll have your data in any news for when you reinstall Windows.

  If you have installed * programs * on the D: drive then you can not do that and you have to reinstall Windows.

  Let me know what is happening and good luck.

• Lost to a data partition drive letter. Restored by using diskpart

  Original title: lost Partition... Help, please...!

  Initially, my hard drive space of 320 GB, with that one drive than C: and another drive is D: that is recovery drive. I have vista home premium 32 bit OS.

It's in the blue bar. and I was unable to open it, or view the properties.

  Is there anyway that I can open it? or other means to recover the files? My personal data are there I want to come back...

  Help, please.! I m desperate... I really need the files...

  Hi Roland Bhatt,.

  Thank you for visiting Microsoft Answers.

  Try to use diskpart to assign a drive letter to the drive.

  1. on the start Orb > type diskpart.

  2 - Click on diskpart in the above results > click Run as administrator.

  3. after diskpart loads type list volume, press on enter.

  You should notice that you can see your partition you use for your data, it should not not have a drive letter assigned to it.

  4. type select volume 6 (replace 6 with the number of the volume assigned to the partition in question).

  5. type assign letter Z (replace Z with the letter you want to assign).

  When you look in the computer, you should be able to see your score.

• Is there anyway I can reformat the drive G:\ in drive C:\

  Original title: when I first set up full vista I gave windows 10 GB. Then, I divided the remaining 325 in C:\ & G:\__I readers GB and then divided the other readers in C:\(225GB) and the ball. Drive G:\.

  I divided the 325 remaining in two disks c:\ GB (225 GB) and the balance to the drive G:\ (@100 F). I used the drive G:\ as a backup drive; However during a backup and a restore, I had 842 MB remaining, not enough for a backup or restore. Is anyway I can reformat the drive G:\ in C:\ driver (I backed up G to C, so it is not serious I need is more what's on drive G.)

  Hi flexiablehors1a,

  You can try to delete the partition (G :) and extend it to the C: drive.)

  Note: Back up your data to two drives (G: & C :) and remove a partition and extend the other Partition.

  Step 1:

  To delete a Partition

  a. open the control panel.

  b. click the Administrative Tools icon.

  c. click on computer management and click on continue in the UAC prompt.

  d. in the left pane, click disk under storage management.

  e. right click on the volume (G:\) you want to remove and click on delete the Volume.

  f. click Yes at the confirmation prompt.

  NOTE: This will leave the partition as unallocated (empty) with no drive letter.

  Step 2:

  To extend a Partition

  a. right click on the partition (C:\) you want to extend in the now unallocated partition and click Extend Volume.

  b. click next to host to the Volume Wizard window extend.

  c. Select the amount of space in megabytes that you want to use from the unallocated partition to use to extend this partition.

  d. click Next and click on finish in the window end extend.

  Hope this information is useful.

• I can't access drive "D" and remove some content to make more room.

  * Original title: upgrade.

  Hello. I'm trying to reinstall my own copy of windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop for a clean start.

  My problem is that, because I only did this for a while the "D" partition is completely filled. The bar that shows the ability is red instead of green and because there is no place, I can't reinstall the O/P.

  For some reason, I can't access drive "D" and remove some content to make more room. It does not appear on Device Manager, and when I try to access it through my computer it shows "D" drive must be empty.

  I also tried to add and remove programs, but they all seem to be on the C"" drive.

  How do I enter "D" drive to remove enough information for me to finish a reinstall?

  Start the custom installation, it will ask you where store system.  Click Advanced.  Delete all partitions.  The installation process will create the partitions, that he needs and format.  I recommend strongly against any other that what Windows 7 install really wants partitioning.

• Partition drive 4 TB with Win 7 32 bit

  I'm running Win 7 ultimate 32 bit and just bought a 4 TB WD drive. I thought I would replace my 2 TB OS disk and programs with it, but not sure it's possible. If this is not the case, can I partition this drive to use for storage?

  Thanks for your support,

  Chas

  Unfortunately the motherboard does not support UEFI so I'm stuck with a very expensive storage disk. I really don't want to reinstall win7 again, too many programs to reinstall and all are 32-bit versions. As far as Win7 being located on the N partition on my second drive, he has worked yet since I started Win 7. I've only used EasyBCD to get rid of the menu opening which gave me a choice between the loading of Windows 7 or Vista. This menu was created when I installed Win 7 and kept Vista. Is there something on C that starts Windows, even if it is on another drive?

  Thanks again for you patience and support

  There are, I think, 3 considerations here. First of all, because you had a dual boot situation you now have a Boot Manager file that tells the computer where a BONE you might want to start. If you are running Vista on C: drive when you created the dual boot situation then this file of Boot Manager will reside on the C: drive. The second operating system can be anywhere else, but the computer will look for the file on C: Boot Manager to tell him where the OS boot. Windows 7 retains its own version of the Boot Manager in a different location. If you remove or clean the C:\ drive, the computer will not be able to find the two BONES. To get a transition smoothly to the boot manager will have to be moved to the new drive before replacing the hard disk C:. Apparently the EasyBCD software that you were using has the ability to do it for you. https://NeoSmart.NET/wiki/EasyBCD/basics/changing-the-boot-partition/

  The second consideration is that your computer's BIOS supports booting from a hard drive other than C: Physics and the third consideration is if the BIOS of your computer is able to read the data on a GPT partitioned the disk before Windows 7/8.x is actually being run.

  If the method used on the first link does not work for you this link has some suggestions to fix the startup problem. I do not recommend you buy any software, try the DIY methods they describe.
