Installation on the wrong partition files

I just install Windows XP on a drive with 2 partitions & put Windows files:

Boot.ini, NTDETECT.COM & ntldr

on the partition to START NO! Can I safely move everything to the directory/folder root of the boot partition? I would like to do some work for this partition, but I don't want to destroy my new installation. Help, please.

Thank you for your answer, but I've done what you said could not be done & it worked fine. As you & others may want to know how I did it & does the job, here are the steps:

(1) boot to another drive (or drive traction & mount as USB key). You must have access to the drive, when it is not running the operating system.
(2) * NOTE * make sure that you perform this step for the right drive!
Command line, navigate to the hard drive to BOOT NO & make "attrib - SHR boot.ini" (remove the system, hidden, read-only attributes).
(3) change the boot.ini with WordPad by changing the two entries in 'partition (1)
(4) save boot.ini (if you can not save the file, make sure that you have #2 correctly).
(5) command-line only 'attrib + boot.ini SHR' (Set to System, hidden, read only attributes).
(6) move the file boot.ini, NTDETECT.COM & ntldr in C:\ (You may need to set Windows Explorer to view system files).
7) download Partition Master for free here:
http://www.partition-tool.com/personal.htm
8) install Partition Master & run the program.
(9) set, partition, primary partition C.
(10) together C partition to partition Active, which also affects the other partition to the inactive at the same time.
(11) to apply the changes. Shut down the system.
(13) put the player in return, where it belongs. Initialize your reader!

  • Windows 8 is installed on the wrong partition

    I just opened my Ideapad u430 and immediately noticed that the windows that OS has been installed on the 500 GB sata drive instead of the SSD. I am sure that the whole point of the SSD part has been to install the OS on it to speed up performance. Tips on how to transfer the OS on the other side of the partition without the original disks?

    Well, no, in my humble OPINION, but you may be able to make it work for your particular needs.

  • thumbnail linked to the wrong source file

    I moved a large number of files outside the LR and, accordingly, have been busy to correct the links. When you try to restore a link for a particular file, I selected the wrong source file. I had the "the file you selected has a different name... still want to choose it? Without thinking, I clicked 'Yes' and now I can not understand how to fix the link. I don't want to go back to an earlier backup because, being an optimist, I kept correcting a number of additional links. Any help gratefully received. Thank you

    Hi damonroad,

    The only possible way here seems to rename this file outside of Lightroom so that the link would be broken again and then you can move it with the correct file.

  • Where are the installation of Vista on the recovery partition files stored?

    Where are the real Vista installation files stored on the recovery partition? If it helps I have a Compaq Presario SR5601UK. They are all stored in a folder or are they distributed? A quick dir at the command prompt, the only way you can access the files :-(, revealed a large amount of .wim files, mainly in "preload", but none on about 100 MB in size. I just assumed that HP uses the real Vista installation process, just gives their graphical front-end and adds some garbage in. If he does not tell everything.

    Anon, they all are on partition D: and no, this isn't a hidden Vista copy. It is integrated with the HP software. This is also why you cannot repair Vista unless you have a retail copy. Other you need to perform a restore.

  • Files saved on the wrong partition

    I was spared the HP_Tools partition backups (I don't know why...) and received error messages on disk space is low.  I think I've resolved now.  However, I am very confused.  Can someone direct me to an article that explains the difference between backups, recovery, and restore?  In addition, how and when each would be a good thing.  The item must be super base, however.  Thank you very much.

    Good afternoon!

    Thank you for you inquiry, I am happy to help you.

    I understand - you want to understand the difference between, backup, restoration and recovery.

    Typically, you perform a backup to store a 2nd copy of your data to avoid data loss in the event of a computer crash. When you make one is entirely optional, and is a personal decision.  If you do a lot of work every day and would be very unhappy if it has been lost or could not be recreated.  Recreating takes time.  If you do not have a lot every day, you can make one only once a week.  The only question to ask is how much you don't like losing your data or it would become difficult to recover.   It's time to make your backup.   Some institutions may make hourly backups

    You can choose any period of time is the best for you.

    Here is a link to System Restore: frequently asked questions to explain what is a restore point.

    Here is a link to perform a recovery of the system HP (Windows 8) who will explain the different types of recovery and what each will do.

    I hope that have answered all of your concerns.

  • Apps to try to install on the wrong partition?

    Hello, I recently bought a month long subscription to Photoshop CC go with Illustrator, but I have a problem with the installation.  My C: / partition is almost completely full, so I install my programs on / d:.  I put both the installation location and the location of the folder to D:/Application.  When I try to install Photoshop, it happens to about ~ 45% it starts to extract, and then it said "Installation failed." When I click on "learn more," he said installation failed: not enough disk space.  Please free up space on C (sometimes it says C: / instead), and then try again. (- 30). »

    I had a very similar problem when installing Illustrator, where he would start at 0% then give me pretty much the same message.  Curiously, it fixed itself after some time for some reason any.  I tried to quit smoking and start creative cloud several times and that did not help.  In addition, another small issue; recently, when I open CC it says "Trial has expired" in Illustrator (I bought a year subscription), until I boot Illustrator and it pops up a window that says "check license" or something along those lines and then CC displays as bought.  I'm sure that the questions are not related however.

    Can someone help with this problem?  I saw a discussion for a few years there is a similar problem that doesn't seem to be resolved, so I'm a little worried that it will not be corrected.  I'm under 64-bit Windows 8.

    Thank you!

    Hi Catseyeguy,

    Refer to the code 30 exit and exit code 31 "low disk space" errors

    For the expired test error see Troubleshooting FAQ: what should I do if I have a subscription, but my application acts as if I had a trial?

    Please see the FAQ section of this link: download and install Adobe Creative Cloud applications

    NOTE: we suggest to install your application on the main drive, but you can configure the destination of installation of in creative cloud application preferences.

    Please note that there will always be shared resources stored on your primary drive, more during the installation process will be also created temporary files on your main drive.

    **** If you have already installed apps, you need to uninstall and make the changes to the location in Creative Cloud Desktop app after that reboot the machine and now reinstall your apps and you need to install on the new location selected.

  • Questions about the installation of the wrong firmware

    Hi all. I have a few questions for those who are more qualified than me on updates of firmware for optical discs. Here's the quick overview: I've been helping solve problems that have met a couple of our colleagues posters after completing the firmware updates. There is a possibility that the firmware that they installed was for the same brand but a different model, in this case the Philips DVD8801 against the DVD8881. In both cases, that the installation seems to have success, which means that the two were asked to restart when you have completed the installation. After installing the readers were no longer available in the bios or Device Manager. Disassembly of the filters made no difference, and it seems to me they should be able to see the device in the bios, even though Device Manager could not see due to a damaged filter problem. Readers are not detected when using DevCon either. So here are my questions:

    (1) how was to be updated with the wrong firmware? My thought here is that the reader had nothing in place to prevent that from happening, which for me is a little annoying.

    (2) because I'm assuming that the installation was successful (in the sense that it completed the installation), this is probably the cause for readers no longer appear? Basically, it is not the disc because the firmware and the drive do not match each other.

    (3) given that the disc is not localizable, is it possible to go back to the original firmware? I checked on the Philips site and the only thing it does for these models is the point to the Dell site (and the only available firmware is updated to the DVD8801) because they are OEM models. There seems to be no way to flash back to the original firmware (also a little unnerving).

    Thanks in advance for any help on this one.

  • XP installation on the wrong drive

    A member of our (out of 50) forum tried to re - install XP after failing to install W7.

    (I have at home now)

    His PC has a 80 GB Maxtor HD as master. jumper set as 'Master' has a slave, Western digital 250 GB drive.
    'E' 112 GB and 'F' 120 GB jumper set as slave, the slave has been partitioned.
    "My computer shows HD C: 112 GB (not the Maxtor)
    and the second disk of 120 GB.
    I suspect, it installs the XP on the partition "E" of the slave, which then become C:
    He continues to drive on the black screen errors, sometimes it booted ok but goes back to a black screen with 'STOP' C0000221 unknown hard error\system root\system 32\ nldll.dll.
    I haven't tried the safe mode, no luck, the restoration of the system, it would not.
    I downloaded Piriform Speccy, and it does not show the Maxtor, only the Western digital drive.
    I need to re - install XP or W7 on your C: (Maxtor) drive and set slave, I suspect that he lost some files on the partition of the slave "E'or perhaps they are now C: which should be 'E'."

  • Accidentally installed OS in the wrong partition

    Hello

    I downloaded an upgrade to Windows 7 Microsft and accidentally installed on the Recovery (D :) instead of OS (C :). How can I remove Win. 7 on my recovery?

    I currently have access to these two victory. 7 and Vista (I use currently.)

    I have no disk with Windows 7, as it was a download.

    Hello

    An upgrade to Windows 7 had to be installed in the running, not as a dual boot Vista operating system. You are not allowed to run an upgrade as a dual boot.

    You say you use Windows 7.

    The D: Recovery has not enough GBs to install Windows 7.

    Recovery d: partition is normally between 5-20GBs maximum

    To find out what is happening with your Partiton D: Recovery, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    And you will need to re - download Windows 7 and save it / install it correctly

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. to reinstall Vista from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    See you soon.

  • Fusion 6 will not start after the installation of the .vmwarevm backup file

    I searched online for a certain time but impossible to find a solution, that I understand.  I know little of virtual machine technology.

    I've been in VMware Fusion 6, trying to find a way to reduce disk space on the virtual hard disk.  I screwed things up and restored my previous Windows 7 x64.vmwarevm in the /Virtual folder on my retina MacBook Pro Machines.  I expect merger to be happy with what was a working configuration.

    When I try to open this file in Fusion 6, I get the following message:

    Unable to get information from snapshot: failed to lock the file.

    Instant module market failed.

    Unable to start the virtual machine.

    In settings / hard disk settings are as they were originally.

    No idea where to go from here?  I don't have the data backed up separately.

    I'm not on Boot Camp.

    The log file has entries of several 'permission denied' when it comes to create files in the folder/vmwarevm. As a first step, check the permissions of the file/folder.

  • Which is exactly the HP_TOOLS partition? Do I need?

    Hi, I bought 21/08/2012 , the HP Pavilion dv6-6c01ev Notebook (laptop),

    and the hard drive has a partiton with name: HP_TOOLS (e :)) )

    Inside in this partition, it has 3 elements:

    1 folder with the name "Hewlett-Packard",

    1 .dat file with the name 'HP_WSD.dat,'

    1 text file with the name 'HPSF_Rep', (inside there that one day, the next day I bought - 22/08/2012)

     

    In the folder "Hewlett-Packard", it's another 4 files:

    1 folder named "BIOS" => inside that he has another 3 files: current - news - previous

    1 folder named 'BIOSUpdate' => inside there different files...

    1 folder named iside "QuickWeb" => there and files and folders...

    1 folder named 'SystemDiags' => inside inside, it has various files

    So I would you please explain to me, if you can answer me, because I'm confused

    1) where is useful this partition ? and all these folders and files...

    2) I need this partition? If I delete this partition, will I have problems in the future?

    3) is so important that partition? (as the recovery partition)

    Thank you for your help...

     

    And also, I just noticed that the Inthie partition file system is FAT32 and not NTFS...

    The partition is used for some things

    1 stores advanced (advanced hardware diagnostics) UEFI bios tools.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01443317#N1218

    2 is also used during an update of the bios to store the update of the bios and the bios saved which will be replaced, it is crucial to have if for some reason, the bios update fails and the laptop doesn't start, you can restore the backed up old bios, without this partition being present during the bios update You cannot recover and you will have a useless PC. This partition HP_TOOLS also allows the bios to date outside of Windows, which is much safer.
