I don't see the entire hard drive under Vista. When I try to shrink a volume, I seem to lose space.

Original title: I see all the hard drive under Vista

I see on the C drive properties
"space used = 143 GB ', and"
"494GB of free space.   But, when I try to do a third partition to install windows 7, using the disk management tool, after I click on
shrink the volume on drive c, I don't see that: ' available shrink space: 79, 917 MB ' and I also see 'total size after shrink in MB = 573891'.  I expect all the free space 494 GB available shrink.  I'm wrong.    Why all the 494GBs are not available to reduce or at least half of it, I guess that instead of only available to shrink 79Gs!
In addition, currently, I have three partitions.  For vista, office and other programs and data, C D like Factory Image of HP, a 11.3 GB and yesterday I made a partition for windows 7 with 48.83GBs and installed windows 7 Professional there.  Then I realize, I need more space to install office and other programs and data.  This is when I tried to shrink the c drive and encountered this problem.
Can you please help me
Thank you

Hello

you do not shrink the C: drive and then expand the E: drive back in the space that you did

You cannot extend a drive backward

and I gave you a link to read and use on the problems of shrinkage

If as a result of the information on how vista disk management work does not fit what you want to do, you may need to buy 3rd party partition software

    Hello!.. How can I install a second operating system on a partition on the same hard drive under xp?... Thanks in advance!

    With the elders the older operating systems, in this case 98, has prior installation.

    Is that of Vista as soon as it does not matter what operating system is installed first to do a dual boot.

    With Vista, you can then install XP as the second installed the operating system in a dual boot.

    But this isn't like you do is 98 or XP...

  • HP G71-329WM: driver Sata necessary for the installation CD of Windows to see the new hard drive

    I have my own Windows 7 disk that can be used to install a lean and clean the operating system, however, it seems that the hard drive is not recognized without a sata driver any. I had to do this once with an HP laptop so that the Windows Setup CD see the hard drive. Unfortunately, I do not see such a driver downloads available for this laptop model. Can make you a suggestion on where I can find this driver?

    Hello:

    With the material of your laptop, you should not need the driver but here is the link for those that you need...

    The first file is for 32-bit and one for 64-bit.

    https://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=18668&lang=eng

    To install the driver, download and uncompress the files that you need a USB FlashDrive without all records.

    With the flash player and the installation of W7 media connected to the computer, boot from the installation of W7 media.

    After selecting the install now option, select the training - Advanced menu, Options and select the option load a driver.

    You should now see the storage driver files listed.

    If you check the box, it only includes the compatible driver.

    Follow the prompts and I hope, will install W7.

  • Don't see any external hard drive in Windows 8

    I have windows 8 is installed on a new laptop. When I try to connect an external hard drive, I get the sound indicating that it is connected and when I go into Device Manager it is there. However I can't see in the file Explorer when I go to my computer. I looked in the Device Manager - sound here. I tried to remove all the usb drivers and restart - no chance. Disk Manager is shown not so I can't even assign a letter. This hard disk can be seen by other laptops with windows 7. I tried to use ports different usb as well, but no luck. I am close to deleting windows 8 and put on windows 7 to see if it will help. Any other ideas before I try?

    Thank you very much for answering.

    Managed to sort by using a partitioning tool that was able to see readers and then renamed. Couldn't do that on the Disk Manager because they did not appear.
  • Cannot see the USB hard drive?

    Hello

    I created a new XP Pro VM environment and everything seems great so far, however, one of my devices is an external USB hard drive (this is where lies the VMX file).

    Yet I do not see it as a connected device, it is not in the list of devices to be tied down to the machine virtual host?

    Why am I unable to see this device USB of the XP Guest VM and how to make it visible?

    Thank you

    1DMF

    1. NOT to assign a USB device to the virtual computer - at least, do NOT attempt to use the disk USB us talk

    2 instead of this, make sure that you configure network between the host and guest

    3. create Windows shares on USB drive

    4. access to this sharing of the Interior of the guest

    This will result in the host beeing the only system that accesses the USB directly - which is the only safe way to do

  • Can't see the new hard drive on my Satellite Pro 6100

    I bought a new Toshiba 40 GB hard drive for my Satellite Pro 6100.
    I installed it in the Bay, but it is not recognized in the BIOS, or when I try to reinstall using the recovery disk!
    Bios recognize that there are in the car, even if it is not formatted?
    I'm missing something?

    Thanks in advance

    Neil

    It should work!

    The reader should also be recognized that even he is not formatted...

    3 things you can do:
    At the start you can go in bootmenu and check if the drive is recognized on the 1st controller.
    If this is not the case, check the configuration of the drive (master, slave, CSEL).

    If this is not enough to check the toshiba support website and download the latest version of the bios (probably you already have, check as mentioned above)

    If this does not work your new drive (or worse: your controller) could be faulty. If the reader of the Moose still work on your laptop, check the 40 GB drive to another laptop or PC with adapter ATA connection normal.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    For example, 640 × 480 is a lower screen resolution, and 1600 × 1200 is higher. CRT monitors generally display a resolution of 800 × 600 or 1024 × 768. LCD monitors can better support the higher resolutions. If you can increase your screen resolution depends on the size and capability of your monitor and the type of video card you have.

    Text and images are sharper and smaller at high screen resolutions
    Text is larger and easier to read at low screen resolutions, but images are rasterized and number of items adapted to the screen
    1. Open display settings by clicking on the button start , by clicking on Control Panel, appearance and personalization, clickingPersonalization and then clicking display settings.

    2. Under resolution, move the slider to the desired resolution, then clickApply.

    Notes

    • When you change the screen resolution, it affects all users who log on the computer.

    • When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it will not support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor returns to the original resolution

    See you soon.

  • I how to remove the recovery partition and make the entire hard drive, a recovery partition?

    I have two hard drives and the two have a recovery partition. Disk 0 is disk 1 80 GB and 500 GB. I want to remove the recovery on both partition and drive 1 recovery partition. Disc 1 is much older, but I would have preferred free space on disk 0.

    The "recovery Partition" in question is not a thing of Microsoft.  Ask that ever created it (the manufacturer of your computer) which will probably help you not because it's beyond their desire to do so.

    I suggest you create / have external media and numbers of series/product key in another place course of the computer itself.
