• Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

  I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
  If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

  How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

  In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

  The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

  NTLDR
  Boot.ini
  NTDETECT.COM
  Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

  Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

  When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

  Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

• How do I take a VISTA system which has a drive with a C and D partition and combne in C only a partition with the storage of which was C and D?

  How do I take a VISTA system which has a drive with a C and D partition and combne in C only a partition with the storage of which was C and D?

  Hello

  Make sure that D: is not the partition recovery including the manufacturer put there to make the recovery disks from and eventually to return your computer to how you bought

  You cannot combine C: and D: and their data using the Vista Disk Manager

  with Vista, you will need to save the data on D: - D: delete - and then extend C: into the now unallocated space where D: was to do a 1 partition 2

• How to FORMAT my hard drive with a RECOVERY PARTITION and my system restore from. BKF files

  History made as short as possible.

  I inherited a gateway with XP Media Center 2004. I transferred all my old files to the new computer, and it worked fine. I did a full backup of the system (.) BKF). Later, I installed a disc for my Vivitar camera I used before with my old system and my computer crashed.

  I tried everything I know to do a restore. F8, F10 and F11 during start-up and the best I could come up with was the safe MODE, but it would fail to any ENTRY.

  I really feel like the hard disk must be formatted and start over. I can not access the recovery partition and no XP CD was provided.

  My question is: How can I reformat the hard drive with a petition of recovery and reinstall my operating system of BKF files?

  If you have a recovery partition, I suggest you post in the forums of the bridge
  assistance.

• An error occurred when to partition the drive

  I have a MBP 2012 retina end 13 "El Capitan 10.11.6

  The hard drive in the machine is swapped with Transcend SSD of retinaTRIM is not enabled.

  I'm trying to install 10 Windows using Boot Camp, and I get this error.

  An error occurred when to partition the drive

  Your drive cannot be partitioned.

  I've tried-

  • reset the PRAM,
  • First aid running in the desktop utility and
  • running/sbin/fsck - AF in single user Mode.

  Nothing has worked.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Maybe you have not enough contiguous free space to create the partition.

• Messed up installing bootcamp. Help restore the partition of drive of Fusion.

  Hey, guys and girls. My install bootcamp froze. Now, my Fusion 3 TB drive is only show 756.3Gig. I was in recovery and tried to repair the disk. But, the remaining space is not displayed. How can I reconfigure the disk to show? Of course, I want to partition the drive bootcamp. Thank you!

  See below for my drive configuration:

  

  I have the same problem, I partitioned my drive of bootcamp and something went wrong with the installation, now I can't access it. It's not even show in the utility disk or startup disk.

• Drive external DRIVE with Boot Camp Win8.1 only recognized by a Mac?

  I need to create a HARD drive containing Windows 8.1 for a retina 2015 13 "MacBook Pro with a small SSD.

  If I understand correctly, Boot Camp wouldn't install Windows on what be it external. I used a 2012 MacBook Pro 13 "and the Boot Camp Assistant used to partition the internal drive and 8.1 Windows Installer from a DVD. I then removed the freshly Boot Camp a HARD drive internal, put it in a caddy and replaced the HARD internal drive with a new installed OSX one, and all is well. When I hold Alt 2012 the MacBook Pro at the start with my new external (the Boot Camp'd HARD drive in a caddy) plugged, I offer the 1) internal drive, 2) external OSX partition and finally 3) partition Windows 8.1. Windows starts successfully and works very well.

  My problem is that when I plug the external HDD bootcamp in the 13 "2015 MacBook Pro of the retina, which I did because the Windows partition is not given as an option at startup. It offers only the internal SSD flash disk and partition OSX from the outside. The same is true when I plug it into a 2010 27 "iMac, a 15 2105" MacBook Pro or a 2011 13 "MacBook Pro.

  I plugged on an any other MacBook Pro 2012 with a technique that is identical to the one I did the Boot Camp disk on and it works fine! Then why will offer to boot Windows on the computers of an identical to the technique that I have created the disk on? After, that means the only way I can create an external bootable Windows drive uses the same method, but with a PCIe SSD and it can be created in the machine, I want to use it with?

  Anyone with any experience of this or any idea that I would appreciate your thoughts! Thank you.

  1 Windows-to-Go is part of Windows Enterprise, which is not supported on your Mac.

  2. the drivers on the Windows installation are specific to a MBP 2012. Unless you create a generic Windows without specific hardware drivers, it will not work across different HW Macs.

  3. moving W8.1 with EFI Boot and the MBR are two different scenarios. You can also alter your BCD that leads to new problems.

• Change the size of the Partition of drive on rMBP OS El Capitan

  Hello

  I have a rMBP with the latest OS and I have a 500 GB SSD. Currently I have 350 on my Mac and 150 GB on bootcamp. I have thought about this passage to 400 GB Mac and 100GB BC but avoided to do this because I've heard that I have to erase/reformat drive etc..

  I noticed however that there is a Mac disk utility program and there was an option to increase the size and the way it is worded, suggests that I select the size I wanted and press APPLY. This seems far too easy!

  I have attached a picture of the screen.

  It of just a matter of changing the size and apply it or am I too optimistic?

  Thank you

  

  It of just a matter of changing the size and apply it or am I too optimistic?

  You're being too optimistic.

  Unfortunately, to resize the Bootcamp partition, you must use the Bootcamp Assistant, delete this partition and recreate it for the size you want. In addition, you don't want to add another partition (split your OS X partition) while you have a Bootcamp partition. The plan of partition somehow gets messed up and you may not be able to start again under Bootcamp.

  To do what you want to do (OS X 400 score, 100 Bootcamp partition) you must:

  • Run the wizard Bootcamp and delete your current Bootcamp partition. That will give this free space in your OS X partition.
  • Run Bootcamp Assistant again and the size of this 100 GB partition and reinstall Windows. This will re-create your size of the Bootcamp partition and install Windows.

• HP Envy X 2: laptop recovery partition (D) merged with another partition, not be able to create a recovery media

  I have merged my restore partition HP with another partition I created. Data recovery files are still intact in the New Partition. I have not created a recovery media. When I tried to create the USB Flash Drive recovery using recovery HP Manager media, I get the message that "recovery partition does not exist. How to get again the merged recovery partition and create a recovery USB Flash drive. If simply copy data from recovering files to a USB flash drive will work as a Bootable media in the case that need if in the future.

  @joy1964: should not have done that.  Messing around with the OEM partition somehow good enough recovery ensures it won't work not later, when you need it.

  Personally, I don't trust recovery integrated systems in any case.  You want to be able to recover from an image stored on a disk system large capacity Flash DRIVE or external.  In this way, if the disk fails, I can restore a functional system within minutes.

  Consider using a third-party product known as Macrium Reflect this.

  Macrium reflect (MR) provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  AND... you no longer have the recovery partition at all and can reuse that space for something else.

• HP mini 210-1032cl. I have a new hard drive with nothing on it. I don't know what to do.

  Someone sold me a mini 210-1032cl without hard drive.  I bought a hard drive on ebay.  Where should I go from here.  I can't access anything on my hard drive with disk management.  I did some research and saw the formatting and partitioning of hard drive using disk management.  But how to do this with nothing on the disk?  Which is the best operating system I can buy which also has an Office suite (if there is such a thing)?  I'm trying to restore the mini without breaking the Bank.  I will soon go to College and I need to get my mini operational as soon as possible.  Apparently, this mini was Windows 7 Starter.  I tried the HP Support, but it is so confusing to me.  I don't know what I'm doing.  Thanks in advance for your help and your insight. Forgive my ignorance.

  Hello:

  My recommendation is to click on the link below, and then click to expand the line of order recovery media, then click on the blue button more details and order the recovery disks that are going to install the operating system, software and drivers originally came with the laptop.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4062&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=4125470

  BEFORE YOU ORDER DISKS... Two important points to note...

  1. you will need a USB DVD drive to use with the recovery discs.

  2. the hard disk that you purchased should be the same storage capacity or larger than the original drive came with the laptop.

  The original specifications drive was 160 GB.

• Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

  I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

  (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

  (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

  (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

  Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

  the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

  also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

  However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

  for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

  Good luck

  hope this helps to & help

• Can I partition a drive hard once Windows XP Professional is installed

  I will get a new computer with XP installed on a 500 GB drive.  Is it possible to partition the drive in 100 and 400 GB so that I can move my data files on the second partition, and thus be able to restore the operating system if necessary without destroyin my data. I have a feeling that partitioning must be done before XP is installed, but I'm not sure.

  Thank you very much

  If you drag from left to right or right depends on if you want the unallocated space (where ira your new partition) before or after the partition, you are working on.  As a general rule, it is best to have the system partition (usually C) to near the beginning of the training (i.e. the left end) as possible.  Thus, drag the right edge of the C partition to the left.

  It's a bit difficult to describe without drawing but see if that helps-

  Suppose you have a 500 GB drive with a 500 GB C partition.  It will look like this:

  CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

  Now assume that the amount of "space used" is 80 GB.  The space that is used with "BOLD", your disc looks like this:

  CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

  Now, you want to create a new partition of 400 GB.  Call the E (because D is your CD player - but the letters can be changed later).  You must resize C to leave space unallocated after him (right).  To do this, drag the right end of the C partition to the left:

  CCCCCCCCCCCCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  Now use the unallocated space and make your new partition

  CCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

• Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

  Original title: startup problem

  I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

  Hi DougEisenmann,

  Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

  If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.
