increasing primary transmission

Hi I have windows 7 installed on my drive c (drive) and I'm running out of space, I have 67 GB on drive D (logical drive) and I have 67 gb of space free, sitting beside her, I stem D drive and ended up with it, but I cannot increase or exstende drive C because the location is grayed out, and what I've read so far confuses me no end. can someone please help but keep it step by step simple, this is my first post and first go to this grace.

You can easily move your files from the user to another drive. For any folder in C:\Users\, right-click on it, select properties then the location tab and change the drive letter. Windows offers to move all the files to the new location.

To increase the space on C you will need a third party partition manager. With Windows tools you can only extend a partition in the space immediately following it. The free edition of the House of http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm will do the job.

  • Prefetch files deleted and my primary transmission reduced 4 GB memory

    Original title: prefetch files

    just delete the prefetch files and my primary transmission reduced 4 GB memory. Why?

    1. There is no advantage to deleting files in C:\Windows\Prefetch.  This will result in a temporary increase in startup and loading time of your computer program, but the files will be rebuilt.

    2. it is difficult to say what might have caused a reduction in the available disk space.  My guess is that you have some third-party backup utility running.  To study, download and run TreeSize Free.  Be sure to run 'as administrator' in order to get an accurate view of what takes up space on your hard drive.  http://www.Jam-software.com/treesize_free/

  • new primary transmission

    I have a Compaq Presario SR1500nx 5 years and other than the hard drive, it is very sustainable.  Now, I would like to replace the hard drives but, pre-installed Windows XP Home (sp3) and I have no Windows disk.   I now, using third-party software - clone my drive to the new, then it changed the bios to read my most recent discs in priority, but it always starts on the old original drive, is there a software solution to this problem?   Thank you

    The solution is to clone properly in the first place.

    Once the clone process you terminated immediately shutdown PC, swap drives, then leave the old drive disconnected, then restart. Only reconnect the old drive once this process is complete, you can use disk management to remove the old disk partition and create a new.

    PS Your PC would have been provided with recovery disks or a restore partition hidden access in order to make recovery disks. How it is down to the manufacturer of your PC, this is not a process of MS.

    Hi all

    Trying to sort through my laptop last night clear the old data and other, wasn't paying enough attention when I was looking at the amount of space available on I have had drives and managed to make a partition active disk.

    Therefore, no program to start, I did not have vista installion disk or recovery disk.

    Please help, I have a lot of info, I don't want to lose there and I seriously stuck on what else to do.

    Thank you.

    The boot manager has been damaged therefore Vista cannot start.
    I think you should download and create an ERD Vista as mentioned here

    Then fix the Vista installed by using the repair console.
    I think you have a good chance to repair the fault Boot Manager.

    But in case this would not be in a position, you will need to reinstall the operating system once more.

  • OS on secondary drive

    Hello, I bought recently for a M7-J078CA from HP. The specs are all good for what I need, except I'm not too happy with the 1 TB drive 5400 RPM. However all in all with the rest of my needs, it's a fair trade off the coast compared to the other available models. It's my 5 HP and I love them.

    My question is, if I had to buy an SSD to replace the current drive, will be factory installed HP OS work properly on it? I remember years ago that try on a desktop computer and the recovery disks do not recognize the HARD drive, so would not install the OS thinking that it was another computer. I want to upgrade to an SSD for my OS and games load and run faster.

    Second, if it is possible, it would be as simple as removing the 1 TB drive current, installation of the SSD and then start with the recovery discs? Or should I install the second disc in the Bay of alternatives and try to install the OS in this way?

    I then format the 1 TB drive and use it as a secondary storage only

    Hello

    OK if you purchase the ssd drive and install into the slot of the primary transmission and only install recovery disks that works it perfectly. Install as you say your 1 TB drive in the drive to reactivate Bay and only use for storage will be fine also as long as you configure the 1 TB correctly in Windows I can't foresee any problems at all. I ' v done this to a customer before and the transition was painless and without constraint. If I can provide any other information or assistance please do not hesitate to mail me. Checkurtech

  • Installation of fedora Linux next to my window 7 (dual boot)

    Hello

    I am facing a problem while installing fedora on my computer windows laptop Z580 7.

    I had narrowed the C drive to get 100 GB of free unallocated space where I could install the linux os.but when installing, I am confronted to error: ERROR of PARTITIONING "could not allocate requested partitions: not enough free space on disk.»

    After going to some forums, I discovered the issue could be with limitation of the disk partition hard drive that is 4.

    computer laptop lenovo already have 4 partitions additional partitions.and for / and / home etc for linux, this problem occurs.

    Please advice me how I can solve this problem.

    Thank you

    What happens if I also remove the disk tool from lenovo (of course after a backup of DVD) and merge it with the C drive. This primary transmission of woud do it3 and I can then install linux?

    Hi all

    Thanks for the responces.

    I was able to install fedora 17 next to my win7 os.

    I had to remove the drive Lenovo (with installation for the drivers files) after a backup of DVD.

    However, these two days has been very difficult... and had a bad experience.

    I changed the configuration of grub and installed nvidia package(was_just_experimenting_ _ ).after, I did the restart.it just won't enter the linux system. Although Win 7 was very good.

    I am frustrated, lil being a novice and decided to reinstall linux by replacing the old linux.

    Yet once the curse of maximum 4 primary partition now comes in picture, whenver I tried using USB or Live CD

    He would show me errors. Then I felt that I had to delete the Win disk linux partition manager... thought tool.but. Overrride grub on the MBR could be a problem when I would have started to get into Win7, because he would have got deleted as well with the linux partition. I went to EasyBCD and used an option (I have no idea if it works or not. took the risk) and run the possibility of placing the win vista/7 start files on the MBR, (thinking that he could remove the replacement of GRUB).

    Then I rebooted and BAM. I was lost as soon as I saw the message failed to initialize. (I have no bootable Win7)

    But sometimes the rescue... A key recovery saved me in 15 minutes, he did recovery .and I could retrieve the settings to factory default, althogh I lost a part of the very important files.

    Then, I deleted the disk Win Manager linux partition and reinstalled again.

    now, the two systems operate correctly.

    Conclusion: 1 Linux can not be installed in a system with 4 primary partition already existing (I could be wrong here)

    2. its safe to remove drive lenovo (containing the driver set up files), once you have the back upward.

    3. you must avoid changing any configuration for grub bootloader (unless you are an expert)

    4. for my case, normal Live CD has failed. I had to create a live USB (way fedora live usb creator) and I had to

    delete files with the extension .efi (a person of some fedora forum suggested do), until I booted from it.

    She's the one

  • Envy 17 ssd

    Hello

    I would buy the HP Envy 17, but first of all, I would like to know how to replace the HARD drive of 1 TB with a 256 GB SSD. Are the disks in the operating system supplied with the package to reinstall the OS?

    Thank you very much

    Best regards

    Cosimo

    No it will not be a Windows recovery disk in the box. There is software installed (HP Recovery Manager) that allows you to burn DVDs of recovery. However, I'm afraid that if you try to use them on a 256 GB SSD, it will not work because the recovery disk indexed to pick up a car at least as large as the smallest offered on this series of models, which in this case is probably 500 or 750 concert.

    Most Envy 17 s will have a second hard drive and you can put the SSD in the second span, perform cloning software and then swap positions, using the original 1 TB drive as a storage drive. You would need a second hard drive enclosure and cable, which costs about $40.

    Another question: on some models the Envy 17, a MSSD (mSATA) throttle control there and it plays well with a primary transmission SSD running the operating system.

    If you can give us the exact model you consider that we can let you know which of these issues, if any, apples and also give you a link to a guide and maybe videos telling how to do all the physical operations that are needed.

  • Windows Search / Immersive Control Panel / AppData Error Message

    I have a new laptop HP Envy delivered pre-installed with Windows 8.1 on a hard drive traditional.

    Immediately on starting it the first time, I connected a SSD to the laptop via a USB cable and used imaging software to drive provided by Samsung to the HARD whole to the new/empty SSD disk image.

    Returned & replaced the HDD SSD w / in 1 Bay drive, followed by placing the original HARD drive (but now secondary) in the 2 Bay drive.

    I wanted to re - map the 'My Documents' folder on the SSD to store files in this folder on the secondary HARD drive, so I remapped this ("c:\users\Brad\Documents") folder to point to 'f:\users\Brad\Documents' instead.

    "So move on, for some reason, when I go to the desktop search item and try, for example, to search for"Remove Apps", which translates by he find something like"Uninstalling apps to save hard drive space"or something like that, and I click on uninstall apps to save hard disk space", I get a message similar to the following :

    [Content]
    Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    I'm not sitting on my laptop right now, but I found the info. top online and there are very close to the error msg. I get, except that instead of "c:\Users\bmccollum\AppData\...". ", the title of the GMS. I get begins with "f:\Users\bmccollum\AppData\...". ». I don't remember remapping anywhere at all outside the location of 'My Documents', then why is this research activity trying to seek the "AppData" folder on my hard drive secondary now?

    This same error msg occurs when I am looking for another couple of points, but above all what I find and click work.

    For two items that I seek and I click on the element are, and I get this error message, if I go to the elements of the "long way" but just clicking 'Control Panel' or anything else and keep them on the street from there, items open fine, it's just when I try to click on a few items after that I looked for something they are not w / the same error msg from above.

    I searched around online and have tried the trick of "rebuild indexes" and this seems to fix errors related to research for just a little, then a few minutes later I can look for the same thing that was previously the 'Immersive Control Panel' error and bam, it is back again with this similar to one already mentioned msg.

    Something seems to be pointing to "AppData" being on my drive 'f' (secondary) when I don't think I moved anything but my "my documents" of primary transmission 'c' to secondary drive "f".

    I'm quite lost. Any other ideas on what may be the cause/solution for this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey @zildjian ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are having problems with the paths to files on your Envy laptop.

    The most important thing here is that looks like you have cloned the drive, but not the format of the original HARD disk. This will cause a plethora of problems because you now have 2 boot managers and repositories of operating system file. Windows will have a fit over this.

    I suggest copy important information from the HARD drive to an external drive or for SSD and formatting the drive. This will wipe the Windows installation and free up additional space. From there, you can create a Documents folder and map the folder accordingly.

    You remap F:\Users\Brad\Documents by adding it to the document library or did you use the move feature tab in the properties of the Documents folder location?

    Please try the original function of HARD drive and test development shaped.

  • Dead in the water and stuck to select F1 or F2

    Windows xp home edition with Dell Dimension 4300 desktop.  I'm completely stuck on the select line of F1 or F2.  I have reset the BIOS to the latest version A06 and also replaced battery.  While there, has blown sheep of dust from the fan and checked all the electrical connections and cables.  Re-broken in memory.  Luckily, I backed up all the files on a disk before being completely stuck and I have a laptop that I can use.  But I miss my office.  Should I reinstall Windows XP Home Edition?

    Primary transmission BIOS 0 said peripheral unknown or sometimes offshore; primary transmission 1 is disabled; secondary drive 0 is the CD-ROM drive and secondary drive 1 is the CD-Rom drive.  Boot sequence is also 1.  Floppy drive 2.  IDE CD-ROM device.  I don't know if these settings are correct, but they are the courses in my BIOS.  I tried e Alt, Alt f and b Alt also.  Any suggestions appreciated because I am dead in the water.

    It is always best to do a clean reinstall and not a recovery or repair install, your manual should have instructions and you don't want to do a reinstall on a bad drive, here are some sites that you can check.

  • XP SP3 reinstall slower computer performance, a lot of hang ups, delayed write failed and bsod.

    Hi everyone;

    Thank you all very much for putting time and effort to help as many people. I thought I was opening first with a receipt.

    I'm very tired on my computer. I already spent days and days trying to solve a lot of questions. Literally, my computer has been hindering my work since the middle of January!

    I have a Dell Dimension 4700 Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz 2.99 Ghz and 3.25 GB of Ram, with a Hitachi 500 GB HDS721050CLA362 as the main disk (Disk0) and a Seagate 1 TB ST31000528AS secondary storage (disk 1) with Windows XP SP3 disk. I have insalled all updates (including frame work 1.1 windows.net, 2 something etc).

    I have avast antivirus and it is always kept up to date as well as ad-aware and anti malware malbyte.

    I recently bought a BlacX Thermaltake Docking Station and 2 TB Hitachi 3.5 car as well. I try to have 2 backups of my work, because I lost valuable data in the past.

    Initially, I had only 2 GB of Ram, but I knew that my computer could handle 4 GB because I have confirmed these specifications with the people of Dell who assembled to the machine. Right now I have 4 GB of ram, as confirmed in the menu setup.

    I also originally had a Maxtor 80 GB disk0 and disk1 No.

    I opted to replace the Maxtor 80 GB because it is 6 years old already and I run Adobe CS4 production Premium. I thought that 500 GB would suit my OS & important programs and large temporary files that they generate.

    When I reinstalled the operating system on the Maxtor I had formatting problems. It hangs at 94% or I would get a BSOD on start up. Then I used the 500 GB HDD and ran the Installation of XP on it and was fine.

    I used it for a week, but I noticed his incredibly slow, despite having all this ram and a clean operating system installation.

    I am also BSOD when I launch the antivirus OR when I try to copy files from one HD to another (of the primary transmission on the slave drive OR the disk from 2 TB to dock, or from disk on the drive connected slave or the slave on the primary drive drive). Other times I'll take an absurd copy for a file time relatively small i.ye. a 300 MB file will suddenly be more than an hour to copy.

    I have run diagnostics and diskscan and receive nothing wrong. Windows finished 'control' the disc and not tell me that something was wrong. I look at the disk management tool, and all readers "(healthy)" next to them.

    The skeptic in me feels like this happens when I install the updates of the .net framework. I already reinstalled OS two times.

    Isn't .net important features of the machine?

    I'm so lost in this and I spend most of my days Googling solutions and try to implement them without result. I've disabled "write cache" and reactivated it. I went through a bunch of procedures aimed at preventing the failure of writeback. I do not have any type of file sharing software or torrents on my machines at all and I do not share my files. My firewall is on.

    All that I know, I did everything by the book and to the letter, so I feel like my computer could run surprisingly, not like I have a lemon and I'm terrified that I'll lose all my work despite the fact that I have enough space to save all of the universe.

    Thanks again for all your help! It is really appreciated in advance and always.

    PEI

    I ended up reinstalling the operating system again, it works fine now. But it was very very weird. Thank you very much to try to advise me, I know that it was a complicated issue.

    See you soon

  • Ran memory hard drive, added a hard drive and hopeing I can combine somehow.

    I have added a second hard drive with XP on it. I have the second disk set to CSEL. I have a gateway pc. It appears in Device Manager. I was hopeing to combine them, a bit like you can do with vista. I put in wrong place

    If the primary transmission is set to Cable Select, you have set the jumperr on the extra disc correctly.

    If the primary transmission is set to master, you must assign additional drive SLAVE jumpers

    Assuming that both show in BIOS, Device Manager and Windows Explorer, you cannot combine the two discs.

    What you can do is freshly format additional drive and then move all files data yourr on him... Mike Hall MVP - Windows Desktop Experience http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/

  • Vista SP2: create an additional partition / merge unallocated space

    I looked around the forums but I can't seem to find an appropriate response.

    I recently reinstalled an operating system on my computer (HARD drive Exchange).  This time, I decided to stay with the Vista original rather than go to the downgrade to XP, I first time round.

    -Online is my goal is to create a partition only for my data.

    I don't never partitioned a drive myself so far.  So far, I did not restore all the data.

    I found a strange configuration on the HARD disk, which is now 500 GB:

    C: "Vista" (of course the windows and other program files, the page file, etc.). About half of the total disk space, with a lot more free space.

    E: 'Data' ("primary partition"). About half of the disk space total but container recovery tools only 4 GB of occupation.

    A third * no * capacity volume 1.46 GB with 100% free space.  It is marked 'healthy (EISA) configuration.

    My plan had been to shrink C and E substantially, in particular E (up to about 6 GB, which gives 33% free space, since it is only recovery tools - on my machine Win 8 I have a recovery partition, but it is very small, as expected).

    I shrink both, but Vista only authorized maximum withdrawal of 50%.  I found myself with two spaces unallocated.  I formatted a (now called D) and now, it is marked 'in good condition (logical drive).  He is also NTFS.

    I've not yet formatted the other unallocated space.

    So, my questions:-

    1. What is this labeled 1.46 GB partition?  Why is that?  (Never seen something like that).

    2. why can I not shrink the existing partitions more?  C even still contains 69% free space.

    3. how to merge both new partitions?

    4. Why is the new partition D not a main drive and what question?  (I read somewhere in Vista you can have 3 primary disks.)  Is this what volume unlabelled 1.46 GB as a primary transmission?

    => I would like ideally to a single disk of data about 65 to 75% of my 500 GB HARD drive.  For now the D drive and newly formatted (68.1 GB) and the unallocated space (115.9 GB) add up to only 184 GB, significantly less than half.

    Thanks for any help.

    I'm no expert on the partitioning of the disks as each version of Windows introduced new types of structures of disk and partitions. Each of the different rules depending on the type and the version of Windows.

    I have three partitions. Data and one for Windows. One for beta versions of Windows. And one for the installation files (if it survives reformatting). I copy my data to another partition if resettlement (but it's been 6 years and 7 months I finally reinstalled Windows - what ordinary hassles are you going to for once an event of the Decade).

    Windows is designed to separate the data on a disk. Many of its features are designed to make several drives appear as a single drive.

    In the worst case scenario for your scenario, Windows will work, but your data is lost compared to the lost data, but nothing works. An improvement without consequence.

  • Vista sp1 corrupts ntoskrnl.exe

    Installed Windows Vista Home Premium 32 BIT of Dell supplied DVD of resettlement on new Western Digital HDD (1 TB green SATA600 HD 64 MB) in replacement of primary transmission single partition in Dell XPS 410 with 4 GB of RAM.  Tried to update with Windows Vista Service Pac 1, downloaded from the site Microsoft Web (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/service-packs).  Both times I tried to perform the update the following appeared on the screen: "cannot start Windows.  A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.  To solve problem 1. Insert your Windows installation disc, and then restart your computer. 2. choose your language settings, and then click Next.  3. click on repair computer.  File: ntoskrnl.exe; status 0xc0000098; Info: Windows failed to load because a required file is damaged. "Completing steps 1 to 3 following the startup repair products:"Startup Repair cannot repair this computer automatically"and the details of the repair diagnosis says"C:\ntoskrnl.exe is corrupt ".  I had to do a system restore to before I tried the update for the restart of the computer.  Any idea what the problem might be with the installation of SP1?

    .. .are say you my best plan (perhaps only) action is to reformat the hard drive and upgrade to Windows 7?

    Assuming that the computer passes Win7 Upgrade Advisor with flying colors, you can format the HARD drive and then do a clean install of Win7 (which would need to buy a commercial full version of Win7) but you can not upgrade to Win7 computer (using a version upgrade from Win7) unless Vista SP1 is installed.

    Otherwise, the best solution would be to be formatting the HARD drive and then do a clean install of Vista exactly by the (my) message of reply in this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c44429fb-3f7c-4646-8529-5a97bb3cd0eb
