Merge Partition - Space Question

• 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.

• Within the VM, Apple_Boot Recovery HD with all the extra partition space, so cannot complete resize

  With the help of VMware Fusion Version 8.1.0 (3272237), I installed OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) via the recovery disc option. The default size of the drive was 40 GB, but I wanted 250 GB.

  When the parameters arose during the virtual machine creation process, I changed the size of the disk of 250 GB. A message pops up saying that resizing would take place after the virtual machine has been restarted. Thus, creating the VM is finished, I rebooted the VM.

  The virtual machine on my host shows operating system file size. Thus, the next step was to enter the guest OS and complete resize it using disk utility. However, I kept getting messages on the partition being too large.

  Entered the Terminal on the operating system prompted and listed drives so I can get the name of the volume to resize to the command line. Found this:

  list of $ diskutil

  / dev/disk0 (external, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 269,5 disk0

  1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

  2: Apple_HFS ElCapitan_VM 42.6 GB disk0s2

  3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 225.5 GB disk0s3

  Note the size of the Apple_Boot Recovery HD partition! This is supposed to be something like 650 MB, not GB225.5! (I hope my formatting remains, as I saw an option 'pre' or 'code' Editor < pre > and in the editor HTML didn't work.)

  I've not retried the vm creation, since it is a lengthy process. No idea what might have happened? Or how this can be corrected without re-creating the virtual machine from scratch?

  We have seen this issue, as well, and we reported it to the Apple... It looks like the storage of carrots merges horribly when a disc is "grown" and wrongly grows Recovery HD instead of the main partition.  I guess that a "growth hard disk" is something which cannot appear in a virtual machine, not on a Mac in the real world, it is perhaps not a scenario that Apple engineers had examined.

  Looking through our internal notes on this question, we had an engineer suggests that the problem can be avoided first reducing the primary partition (in disk utility) before more and more to fill the available space.  I have not tried this out, and I don't know if it can help to recover once you are already in the situation you are in.  If it doesn't help out you immediately, you might want to give it a try in a fresh VM.

  I hope this helps!

• Bootcamp deleted missing partition, but can not recover the partition space

  Tried to install 10 Windows via Bootcamp on my Mac. First, I formatted the bootcamp partition. Then I got the following message: could not create a new partition or locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files.

  

  I tried five times with Bootcamp installed Windows 10. Then I advice to delete the partition and create a new. So I did. Still did not work. When I rebooted my mac, 50 GB missing as you can see here:

  

  I tried to restore the partition, but there is no possibility to do so, as you can see here:

  

  I read so many posts that I don't know what to do anymore. I don't mind factory reset my macbook, but it will restore my lost partition as I probably only erase the 450 GB instead of the 500 GB SSD?

  I read in several messages (this one in general: Bootcamp Partition missing during startup) that this information might be required, so I added from the outset:

  diskutil list:

  

  Cs diskutil list:

  

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0:

  

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0:

  

  
  

  I hope someone can help me restore my 50 GB, I lost. Even once, I do not fear factory reset my macbook if that's the best way to solve this problem!

• Satellite Pro C50-A-1E4 - how to merge partitions?

  My laptop is a Satellite Pro C50-A-1E4 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

  In receiving a year ago, I replaced the hard drive with a 256 GB SSD. I partitioned in a 60 GB C drive and a 192 GB D the rest drive is the hidden restore partition.

  I have install all the software on C and my personal stuff on D.
  Now, the C drive is nearly full, but there are a lot of free space on D.

  Can you advise me how reallocate for example 20 GB from D to C with nothing to lose?
  I would like to make a complete backup of the drive D.

  Basic support for Windows (seems to me) to sit on a hard drive where the bottles must be adjacent, but I'm assuming that does not apply to an SSD.

  Any help and advice would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I recommend you to use a 3rd party software called Gparted.
  http://gparted.org/LiveCD.php

  Its freeware software that allows you to change the partitions on SSD or HARD disk.

  You can create a bootable USB flash memory key and might start Notepad to change the partitions.

  This s really great freeware software.

• Merge Partitions disk0s2 and disk0s4 (leaving disk0s3)

  Hi all

  As the title says, I need to merge disk0s2 and disk0s4 without touching disk0s3 because the latter is my recovery partition. I dared not try, but I guess I can't use this command in a terminal because it also merges disk0s3:

  diskutil mergePartitions JHFS + disk0s2 disk0s4 NewName

  now when I type the command "diskutil list", I get this:

  List of the Asger$ diskutil

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 320,1 disk0

  1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

  2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 278,5 GB disk0s2

  3: disk0s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

  4: Apple_HFS BOOTCAMP 40.6 GB disk0s4

  As I am on El Capitan, disk utility does not either because apple has changed a useless poor beta as a program on El Capitan.

  I have considered just by typing the command merge above and then reinstall it somehow Apple_Boot Recovery HD, but I really don't want to go that route if possible.

  And no, assistant Bootcamp can do since the Bootcamp partition is already deleted and formatted in JHFS +.

  Any suggestions?

  backup your computer with Time Machine

  boot into recovery mode

  OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support

  reformat the hard disk

  Reinstall the OS of the recovery mode which will restore the operating system provided with your computer or use a bootable OS 10.11 Installer

  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT201372

  Anyway your recovery partition will be recreated if it is not destroyed.

  You will need to use your favorite search engine to find such a third-party program that could help you in the task.

  Important: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Recovery Copyright OS 8 times merged partitions recovery in other partitions

  Could you please help me one more problem.

  My laptop is copyright OS 8. When I divided the 700 GB partition

  into 3 partitions (C, D, E) to the desired capacity (100 GB, 300 GB, 300 GB).

  But then the OS cannot be opened. I've converted type GPT to MBR disks

  format to install the new OS but the recovery of scores accidentally merged in other partitions.

  Now I can't use the original OS yet. Then I installed OS 8 of Dell (I know

  Copyright BONES embedded in the BIOS of the laptop).

  And I tried in vain several ways to recover the operating system of the key copyright.

  Could you tell me to resolve the situation to go back to the original OS.

  Could you please check the key of this laptop Dell system.

  Looking forward to your help.

• How can I delete a partition and extend the other partition space?

  I have four partitions on my Windows 7 computer. And now, I find that the partition partition F has about 45 GB of free space. But the D partition is almost full and gives always notice the disk space is low. So, is that I can delete this partition F and extend my D partition with free space? Please, give me a solution. Thank you!

  There is a 3rd party good master tool called easus partition 9.3 (free to try).  It changes the childs play.  BTW, 4 partitions are the maximum by HD

• increase disk space question: C

  I want to increase: the C disk space can help them all one on this case, please

  2003 OS

  

  You can only increase a score when there is free disk space adjacent to that partition. In your case, you must use a partitioning tool to move the drive H: and then increase the C; drive. I usually use the gParted live CD / ISO in such cases.

• Instant space question - images

  Hi people,

  This is my first post here, because we are quite new to this and I want that what may be an obvious question.

  I tried searching but as you'll see in the issue specifics mean no search results does not give the information I'm looking for.

  Basically - I am deleting snapshots and the snapshot copy in the parent image before deleting the snapshot itself.

  So the amount of used space increases actually before that this tax is reduced.

  So you need to more than enough space to delete snapshots.

  My question is:

  Based on the attached picture, space must be in the "storage used" Vs "storage provisioned" in the summary view.

  Or is it the 'ability' Vs 'Space used' in the views of storage?

  I saw my storage used to achieve the same capacity as the storage provisioned last time I deleted a snapshot and I panicked that I was running out of space!

  I would be grateful to anyone who can me explain this in simple terms please.

  Thank you!!

  

  RSW

  Instant virtual computer just use any free space to store data.   This free space is the difference between the capacity column and space used.

  Implemented storage is the amount that could use the virtual machine, and this double amount whenever you take a snapshot in order to allow a rate of 100% full of change in this snapshot.

  Above all, you won't have to hit major problems (as VM stop) unless your space used = data store capacity.
