Impossible to split the partition not visible is (C) to a new system - 4 primary partitions

Hello

TL; Dr. I'm probably stuck with 4 primary partitions (two WINRE, EFI and (C), and unable to split C on an installation DVD HP fresh system.

320 HARD drive failed on my G6 2233 HP laptop. I have fitted a replacement for 500 GB and does the following:

  • installed Windows 8 from the HP System Recovery DVD (provided by HP, not recorded by me, new facility)
  • deleted partition recovery with HP Recovery Manager
  • installed all the updates of Windows 8, and updates HP Support Assistant
  • upgrade to 8.1 Windows
  • installed all the updates for Windows 8.1 and updates HP Support Assistant

Went to the system partition tool, see 4 primary partitions created...

At this point, I was not aware, this can be a problem. I tried to split C as seen on the image. Has not been able to define the desired values (max stood at about two of equal size, because of ummovable files), but this was nothing new for me - on the previous 320 HARD drive that I met the same problem, I could (but COULD) make two of 14xGB were leaving.
Here I wanted to 120 GB and GB 344.
Anyway, even with different values I have a mistake in the next step, claiming that it has no place on the HARD drive.

So I decided to try the EasyUS software, as it has helped me in the past.
First screen is without any intervention (there are a bunch of weird music here, all created by HP software/operating system).


I could choose to reduce the size of the partition, but the ability to create from unallocated space was not active.

I'm confused. If I'm not mistaken, I shouldn't remove two WINRE and an EFI partition, but I either convert logical partition C (have no idea how, this option only is not active on EasyUS (could do that on my HDD USB drive), or remove one or more of the other primary partitions.)

Even if I'll find a way to convert logical C, which is safe, and that I should after D creation C back in elementary school?

I tried to play safe and let the HP/OS software do the work, and they left me with 4 primary partitions...

OK I found the guide which unfortunately is not sure... Any other ideas?

http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/other-notebook-PC-questions/how-to-REPARTITION-HDD-of-HP-notebook-with-...

Unfortunately, they seem to have different names... Probably do similar things, but could someone just highlight is the partition EFI HP as mentioned in the guide, tools etc.

I guess I should, after that installation of Windows 8 and deleting the recovery partition, create a new partition can and upgrade to 8.1... Would solve many problems, but I'm not sure it would work and really do not want to lose more than two days on this...

I solved the problem with reinstalling Windows 8 from the DVD, and then deleting the partition recovery and at this point to divide the C partition and finnally upgrade to Windows 8.1. It works, and it was the safest, but probably not the best way to solve the isue. Previously I installed Windows 8, deleted the recovery, improved to 8.1 and got 4 primary those linked above.., so that the difference here is divide and distributes itself in the intermediate stage...

Thank you for your interest and have a good year.

  • Impossible to delete the partitions or format C

    I have a mobile shadow Smart Power (a special Aldi 2004), which comes with no hidden restore disc, but it has a much utility and disk etc. drive OEM drive.  I need to reformat C and reinstall XP Home... nothing seems to work - after surfing several hours for a reply and try to all the ones I found!  I can not get an option to format using disk management, because it is grayed out, and if I use the disc provided as a boot disk, I can't delete the partition as it says that it is in use / mounted.  Can anyone help please... as I suspect that the XP disc resembles C and just by looking at him, he believes that it is in use, so it will not let me delete the partition or format C.  I don't know how to get around this problem with the discs that I have... and experience tells me that shadow are desperate for assistance to the user, so there is probably no point of contact with them.

    All I can understand about shadow is that it was an Austrian company which has since been bought by a Taiwanese company and has almost no information available online support (although there seems to be quite expensive telephone support lines).

    You cannot remove or format the system partition (the one where Windows) of Windows.  This is why there are bootable CD installation/restoration of the system, the idea being that if you run with an operating system on the CD, you can do what you like on the hard drive.

    Your drive "OEM", is supposed to be a system restore disk or just a collection of software and drivers?

    If it is a restore disk, when you start from it, it should just restore the computer to its original state, or at least give you an option to do so.

    Can you describe the screens that appear when you start from your OEM drive?

    The second and third (inside interface) of the Web servers are configured with static mappings and access lists.

    Check if packets arrive to the external interface, if it reaches the web server and is at - it a response.

  • Impossible to delete the partitions of a table with the number of rows is zero

    Hi all

    I want to delete all partitions on all the tables in a schema having the number of lines equal to zero.

    I use the queries below to get a solution.

    Select 'EDIT '. '' || 'TABLE ' | TABLE_NAME | 'DROP '. 'PARTITION | Nom_partition from dba_tab_partitions where TABLE_OWNER = "xyz";

    Select count (*) in the table table_name partition (nom_partition).

    Edited by: 887563 October 17, 2011 13:39

    If you trust your statistics, you can simply use the stat num_rows in dba_tab_partitions:

    select *
    from dba_tab_partitions
    where table_owner = 'MY_SCHEMA'
    and num_rows = 0;
    

    But I think what you try to get some code like this:

    declare
      v_rows number;
      v_statement varchar2(500);
    begin
      for c in (select *
                from dba_tab_partitions
                where table_owner = 'MY_SCHEMA') loop
        v_statement := 'select count(*) from '||c.table_name||
                       ' partition ('||c.partition_name||') where rownum=1';
        --dbms_output.put_line(v_statement);  --for debugging
        execute immediate(v_statement)
        into v_rows;
        --dbms_output.put_line(c.table_name||' '||c.partition_name||' '||v_rows);  --for debugging
        if v_rows = 0 then
          v_statement := 'ALTER TABLE '||c.TABLE_NAME||' DROP PARTITION ' || c.PARTITION_NAME;
          dbms_output.put_line(v_statement); --shows the drop statements

  • The is not an option to download a new guide!

    Hey all, I moved to a new area (Houston) and I can't find an option to download a new TV Guide for my media center.  Windows support said it should be under TASKS-> TV-> GUIDE, but it doesn't seem to be an option.  Any suggestions on how to get a new guide for a new region?

    Thank you, Nick

    There is a button to force a download of the Guide - it's under "automatic download options" (tasks > settings > general)
    However, in your case, you must re-run the installation of TV program (tasks > settings > TV > TV Signal > set up the TV signal (path is win7;) Vista is similar).
    You may not (and may never) just 'change your zone' - rather, you rerun setup of TV when you move.

  • Impossible to activate the successful download of Audition3.0 on my new computer

    I downloaded successfully Audition 3.0 on my new computer, but now I can't turn it on.  The current line never works.  I tried the activation of phone twice and told me that he did not.  I went to the Adobe web address that I was directed to try, and it is not common.  The redirect link was not helpful to find how to enable it. I use hearing all the time and should continue to work.  What should I do?

    Hi Lisa,

    The serial key you enter the installation may not work because the activation server was closed for CS2 products but don't worry in this regard.

    You can download & install Audition 3.0 from the link below.

    https://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads

    You must login using your Adobe ID & pass, after agreeing to the terms & conditions, you will be taken to a new page where you can see the different ADELIOS CS2 listed as well as their respective keys to the series.

    You can download & install the product on site & can activate using the key to series mentioned on the page.

    Try this & I hope it helps.

  • Characters not visible (caused by hitting the bar space or TAB in PL/SQL developer tool) causing slow running query? and database with low performance?

    Hi all

    I need your help to get this issue resolved its urgent and I'm not able to get to the conclusion. Here is my scenario, I'm getting slow query runs because of some non-visible characters that are copied with the application of the PL/SQL developer tool. Please find below attached screenshot: Oracle_Issue

    Oracle_Isssue.png

    Note: This non-visible characters are caused when we write the query then us hit the SPACEBAR or press TAB PL/SQL developer tool

    I use the developer tool PL/SQL to write or test the query. Now I take this request copy paste in my application of the company (who takes this query connects to Oracle or any source of data base, catch data and produce PDF reports for customers).

    Now, my client is the Oracle user when I write and you run this query by the PL/SQL Developer, it works fine, but when I paste in my Inbox feature request (reporting system) and run it, it runs slower and jams to the customer database. Now after a little research I found that when I copy the query directly from PL/SQL developer at my request, he copy some characters not visible (introduced when we press SPACE or TAB in PL/SQL developer tool when writing query) with the request, then I copy this query again to my box of the application Notepad and delete these non-visible characters. Now, after removing the non-visible characters again once I copy backup question in my application and run the query, it works normally. Please find below attached screenshot: Oracle_Issue 2

    Oracle_Isssue_2.png

    So I think that the cause of slow performance is due to some INVISIBLE CHARACTERS present in the query.

    My application uses SQL server 2008-2012 at the backend to store data from different sources.

    Character set used: SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS


    To write and test queries: PL/SQL developer tool

    My Client use Oracle 11 g

    Character set used: Normal character: NLS_CHARACTER: AL16UTF16

    National Characeter: NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTER: WE8WIN1521

    I just wanted to know the blocking process to the top of the database and the characters not visible how affecting slow running query of query database.

    Please let me know if I'm missing something or you need more information on this issue.

    Thanks in advance,

    HP

    Simple answer. No.

    Spaces and line breaks do not change the execution plan created. Does not plan to run slower or faster.

  • Stor.E TV 2 to - the new created partition is not visible if connected to the TV

    Hello everyone, here I have a small question.

    I have acquired a store of tv Ref: PA4211E-1HLO store.tv is the old model with a 2 TB hard drive

    Here's my problem:

    I have two partitions on the hard drive.
    Then I deleted the original already installed on the hard drive partition. After I have two partitions on the hard disk with partition magic 8 all is fine, but I see partition on the computer, but when I unplug the hard drive to see on my tv but the partition on TV that he is no longer, and when I'm back on the computer, they are.

    In fact, we say that the firmware doesn't support hard drive partition, but yet I did it right

    are you a person has the same problem as me
    Thank you a lot

    Stand by. You have created the new partitions on this TV Stor.E and these partitions are recognized by the laptop's OS but are not recognized by the TV (if connected to the TV directly)

    Right?

    I think you chose standard partitions wrong as far as I know the TV Stor.E taken in charge the standard NTFS partitions to the new partitions must support this format too
