• Increase the size of the hard drive - greyed out

  We're just trying to prepare for production and of course do some tests.

  I created a new Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server and played a bit with this with different scenarios includes the increase in the size of the virtual disk without any problems.

  I waited for Converter 4.3 so that I can convert some of my Hyper-V 2008 R2 servers.  One of our servers in development that today ' today, I converted with very few questions.  I converted the source without changing the size of the disc etc, so he created as a thick disk with about 42 GB in size.  I then played with vMotion (and also to stop the virtual machine so that I could also spend data warehouses) and at the same time changed the type of disc to thin.  Once more everything is ok.

  So the next test was to change the size of the drive... but unfortunately when I select Edit settings, then 1 hard drive, everything is gray, even though I turned off the VM (although one I created as new machine is fine to change even when powered by the look of it).

  So is this something to do with the conversion process?

  The only thing I see that is different, wise hard drive between the two is that one that is ok is defined as a SCSI device node, whereas the convert is an IDE.

  Any help most appreciated.

  Thank you

  That's your problem.  You cannot increase the IDE drive unless you use the converter again.  What I would do, is to do the conversion again, and this time, in step 3 change the controller to the SCSI (LSI).  This will then give you the option to increase the drive to move forward, without the use of the converter.

• Increased size of the hard drive but Windows C drive still shows smaller

  I am trying to increase the size of the hard drive of my Windows XP virtual machine. I followed the instructions in the help to increase the size (rather than a second hard drive which suggested the FAQ I read later). My MAC finder shows a drop of water in my space of hard drive together, but the Windows C drive still shows the same amount as it had before starting the process. How can I get Windows to recognize the hard drive is bigger than it used to be? Will not install the program I am trying to load because of limited space.

• Satellite Pro 4280 - what is the size of the HARD drive?

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280. According to the manual, it should have a 6.0 GB HDD but in my computer it is shown as having only a 1.34 GB capacity.

  PS I formatted the disk to remove the former owner data and operating system and you have installed Windows 98SE

  [Edited by: admin]

  Hello

  Satellite Pro 428Xcdt was certainly delivered with 6 GB HARD drive.
  Are you sure that you have checked the size of the HARD drive correctly?

  I guess the 1.34 GB is a free space on the HARD disk.

• Paragon/Ghost: Create a bootable clone between the (hard drives of different sizes to)

  I was web-searching options of backup in the last days and want to settle on a solution of freeware Paragon or Ghost (I know that the latter meets the needs, but I wonder if the first can do with relative ease for a beginner). Here's the scenario:

  My current Toshiba Satellite A660 (PSAW3C-047017 model) running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. The HARD disk is the disk HARD MK6465GSX from Toshiba (http://storage.toshiba.eu/cms/en/hdd/multimedia/product_detail.jsp?productid=341). I bought a small (500GB) Seagate Momentus XT, which has apparently Advanced Format. I guess the Toshiba HDD 512 bytes/sector, because nothing comes up in a search on the web for Advanced Format for this HARD drive.

  I would like the Momentus XT allows you to create a bootable to my Toshiba HDD clone. The Momentus XT will be in a pregnant that will interface to the portable computer via eSATA. After cloning for the Momentus XT, I would replace my Toshiba HDD in the laptop with the Momentus XT due to its superior performance. The Toshiba HDD becomes my HDD auxiliary (in the external case) for the cloning of the weekly. If nothing ever happens to the Momentus XT in the laptop, I can then take the Toshiba HDD out of the enclosure and put it in the laptop. However, this mode of use of the means I have to be able to clone initially Toshiba HDD Momentus XL, then clone in the other direction later.

  I read a lot about needing to be trendy, but not having alignment issues do not image, cloned, or formatted a hard drive before (except obey blindly support), I'm foggy on the understanding. Seagate announced their SmartAlign technology, but there is no corroboration on its effectiveness and no info about HARD drive models have it. Because Windows 7 is described as supporting the AF, I guess that many of the issues identified by SmartAlign are nonissues to me.

  My concern is that if there are other traps due to the corresponding HDD sizes and sectors that could create problems for the cloning process, both the Toshiba HDD for the Momentus XT and vice versa. Consequences (and solutions) I'm trawling for are the inability to create a clone bootable, the completeness and accessibility of the clone and align content makes this performance impact (with the exception of those to avoid due to the use of Windows 7).

  A friend I know that Ghost will properly manage the HARD disk and differences in size of the sector gracefully, avoiding the above consequences. I was wondering if freeware Paragon will handle this scenario as well. Paragon is free, but apart from the functional qualities, I would also consider ease of use in order to take a decision on the two.

  Thanks for any comment on the ability of Paragon freeware to manage this scenario, the comparison of usability of Paragon & Ghost for this scenario, and anything else you think is relevant in the choice between them for my scenario.

  In my opinion, this question should be forwarded to the Paragon supports.

  Check the knowledge base or the forum of the community.

  From my point of view, you must first create a Toshiba Recovery disk.
  In this case, you are always secure you can set the laptop back to factory settings, even if the HARD drive was going to die or the system would begin to run crazy.

  I have used Ghost in the past in order to back up my files. I created an image of my two partitions bootable file and this race smoothly unfortunately cannot say on Paragon or compare both applications.

• The recovery disk is sensitive to the size of the hard drive?

  Hello

  I just bought my new laptop Satellite.

  I have owned one of these puppies before and so I know that the Toshiba recovery disc is a ghost image.

  What I did is erased the hard drive clean because it's a piece of the circuit city showroom and t couldn't trust what was out there.

  I put Ubuntu on the laptop. I want to put Vista on a VM.

  As you can imagine, the virtual machine would have much less space than the actual size of the hard drive (200 GB) but of course, large enough to accommodate the installation of vista and all the goodies of Toshiba.

  With this all said, the image will be cough, hanging and allows me not to install during installation of the ghost due to the different size image in space? So say the laptops hard drive space, it is 200 GB, but I only allocated 50 GB virtual hard disk.

  Now I don't have a version of the class my program of schools Microsoft vista legitimate business, but I would use the home premium came with the laptop and use that Toshiba had provided me.

  Then, going to work, or it will not?

  Thank you for your comments.

  > I wonder what the disc labeled "Toshiba recovery disk' which is come with my new laptop that I just bought actually is then.
  Don t confuse boyfriend new Toshiba with Vista OS notebooks are equipped with HARD drive recovery option. But it also contains an option to create a recovery DVD in case the HARD disk will fail.

  If you buy an old series laptop with Win XP, then it might be possible that you don t have the option to drive HARD recovery, but instead, you've got a recovery disk.

  As you said above; the recovery disk contains an image (I doubt it s a ghost still image) that contains an operating system Windows, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.

  Good bye

• Help a fool please ~ deleted partition, lost the hard drive size

  I'll try my best to make this as clear as possible, thank you for your time...

  Received my free copy of windows 7 home Premium

  Wanted a clean install (not an upgrade)

  Back up all the data and the programs that I installed

  During the installation of win 7, I deleted the recovery of the system partition and the 2nd partition of my HARD disk (has been labeled d, came that sort of lenovo factory, had 70 GB size I think)

  I thought that if I deleted the partition of the hard drive space would be added to the 1st partition and it did not

  Have materialized with the installation of win 7, and now I just have never found my C: and the GBs of the 2nd old partition so its as if I lowered my total HARD disk size

  How can I get my C: to have all of the 320 GB? Thanks for any advice!

  You can allocate the unused disk space as follows.

  Start > run > diskmgmt.msc

  Right-click on the Windows partition [should be C] and click on "expand". Extend partition as needed and enjoy.

• How to upgrade the size of the hard drive and transfer all THE OS/software/data (image) of the original disk?

  HP desktop with a HDD normal computer. Win Vista 64-bit Windows.  But the question is generic for another one with Win7 and another with XP.

  The problem is that I want to do is to replace the hard drive with a new fresh Plus unit.  I want to keep exactly the same software as that on the original disc.   I want to know how to transfer data from the old disk to the new image.   I remember the old days BACK to copy just the files copy very well, but OS files data files and startup records, etc. etc. should be in areas on the disk, so you can not just copy the.  I know there are software packages ghosts to even a backup image to a computer, to recharge on a true double drive on a death warrant of the disc, but is it the same path to use for an upgrade?   Then, there will be no problem with MS or others by looking at the serial number of the disc material and decide on their software are installed on a new machine without a license?  etc.

  All experienced suggestions would be appreciated.

  IE brand disks: Seagate, WD, and a few others provide the software with the package of disk or from the Web site that allows cloning on the same drive size, but for a larger drive.  Acronis will be similar.  As long as the size of the disk is not unreasonable, they do it quite easily.  Depending on the age of the system, however, some may not tolerate the readers more great or the more recent huge 2 TB.

• Is there a limit to the amount of the size of the hard drive that it can manage Windows Vista Ultimate?

  . I am trying to install a disk hard external sata 3 TB

  It would be only format 2.3 TB. Is there a limit to the amount of the size of the hard drive that it can manage Windows Vista Ultimate? If so, is there a way to enlarge it.

  Vista only supports drives of 3 TB for storage of the data and do not install the Vista operating system on this drive.

  What is a RAID?  You could have 6 300 GB drives, RAID requires treatment, and basically, 1 disc is overload, so it seems you are using RAID 5 (if you have 6 disks).  In this case, that is right you have 1.4 flying over, which is what ESX sees.

• What is the hard drive more large size taken supported by the HP Pavilion a6650f?

  Hello, I have a HP Pavilion a6650f that I got from a friend a few years ago.

  I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive to a SATA 1 TB or 2 TB drive. The vehicle currently has a 80 GB IDE drive. I know it is originally with a 500 GB SATA drive (which was later to be defective, so he gave it to me after his warranty missed).  The original drive left after that (of course) missed coverage.

  He currently runs Ubuntu Linux 12.04 EAP 32-bit.

  The computer should be fine with SATAII disks up to 2 TB. Greater than 2 to cause problems for you. In addition, you may need to update the drivers for the readers of Format 'Advance '.

• Replaced the hard drive with same MFG and size and can not start

  I have a HP P6247c, windows 7. It was freezing at the top and then I received a message that was not the hard drive. I replaced the power supply 2 days before with a 400 Watt power supply. After I received the message of hard disk, I ran a checkdisk and found many segments I couldn't read. After checkdisk, the computer would not boot. I buy a seagate 500 gig drive and installed is the same as the original drive.

  With no backup, I bought the system for this computer recovery disk. I received three disk with the recovery disk and a 4th system (SDRD UPDATE). The disc SDRD has said above to install this drive frist. I did it, but know not what happed after inserting the disc into the DVD player (saw nothing happen). Then I incerted the frist and nothing windows disk arrived. I stopped with the system recovery disk, because nothing was working. Then, I used a repair disk and got an error IO error 0xc00000e9 message.

  I can get to try to start and press the AF button ESC. It give me a message on hp logo (blue screen) indicating the BIOS loading but does nothing after that. How can I solve my problems. I tried reinstalling memory chiop and check all connections to ensure good connection.

  Note: before replacing the power supply, I found a lot of dust on all internal components. I cleaned all with air.

  I recommend to try a Linux Live CD that will test to see if the hardware can actually support a simple OS.  It does not need to install anything, just to do the Live CD on a work computer, and then try to start the PC on the Live CD problem.  If it works well and can do many things, wait for a PC, then try a sale installation disc retail for Windows (same version that is from the factory) and use the key on the COA sticker.  If that fails, then it must be a hardware problem and requires more tests or a repair shop or a punt.
