• Hard drive shows only 32 GB

  Hello

  I own as a HP Pavilion dv6830us laptop w / Windows Vista Home Premium bought a few years ago.  The original WD25 - BEVS hard drive has failed.  I bought a WD Scorpio Black 500 GB WD5000BPKT to replace.  Installed the two recovery discs purchased from HP.  Entering Windows after the restoration, a window popped up and said "unrecoverable error" and prompted me to turn off the laptop.  This would happen whenever I rebooted the computer.  Eventually I realized that this was the program file HP installer which has been the cause, so I managed to access msconfig before the message popped up and disable start-up.  Now I find myself with a Windows installation with absolutely no extra software on this subject.

  That said, I was frustrated, but happy to simply reinstall everything.  Then I discovered that Windows displays the hard drive as 32 concerts, with less of a free concert.  I downloaded the update to the BIOS of HP.  Then I downloaded Western Digital Diagnostics software, and under the physical disk box, it recognizes the model and capacity (500 GB).  Under the logical drive box, it shows the file system NFTS, total space 34,37 GB and 1.05 GB of free space.

  I would like to know how to solve this problem, as this whole process took more than 2 months and honestly, it's been a nightmare.  If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be grateful.

  The following Microsoft link should help, please remember when to extend a partition, make sure that you have a backup of all your programs and data first.  There is always the risk that something might fail and with what it is your primary drive, you could lose it all.

  This link is for Win7 but it is very similar to what you would do with Vista:

  Hello

  Thanks for the update.

  I wish to inform you that it is possible to merge two partitions into one, if both are on the same hard drive.

  You will need to remove one of the partitions and extend the other to include one deleted.

• 250GB external hard drive shows only 125 GB

  Hello

  I just bought an external hard drive 250 GB, I plugged it opend my computer one selected the external hard drive on the side of the rite of the screen in the detail he gives me the total size of 125 GB it's just?

  Hello

  I recommend you check the external HARD disk size in disk management.
  Please enter this option right click 'My computer' icon and select 'manage '. Computer Management opens and there you can choose disk management.

  The other possibility is that the drive was badly formatted. I also recommend formatting again. Check if it is possible to create a partition 2 with about 125 GB of space

• Vista guard setting external hard drive read-only...

  SP1 Vista Ultimate x 64

  My external hard drive (WD Elements 500 GB) guard get the value read-only. I can go in, select all the files, right click > properties and uncheck the 'read only' box, click OK. When I open the drive once again, they are read only once more.

  I tried to go to the security settings for the player and adjusting so that everyone has the right to change the files and so on, to which I have an error message (on each file) saying that it cannot apply security information that the data are protected against writing.

  The drive is formatted in NTFS and says he's got the A attribute.

  What should I do?

  In most cases, only playback status is defined because there may be no "file locking" when editing and simultaneous removal. I suggest try enabled write caching and testing accessibility in writing files.

  Alternatively, you may have a problem of 'ownership' with the reader.

• the size of your hard drive is not supported for this process. Please use a hard drive at least GB in size

  Whenever I try to use my restore disks of backup with the image of the system when I bought my Dell 8300 desktop computer I get this error message (your hard drive is not taken in charge for this process. Please use a hard drive at least GB in size.

When I changed the sata mode to AHIC on load it says (lack of operating system)

  I'm not very technical, so if someone can show me step by step on what I should do or give me a call [Admin Note: personal information removed] I would appreciate it a lot. I've added a few pictures as well

  

  

  Large. I am pleased that my DBAN guide has helped you.

  Now that you are on the factory settings, I advise Dell DataSafe Local Backup uninstall and upgrade to the latest version of Dell backup and restoration which has many bugs/improvements, including the ability to restore to another hard drive which is useful in case the hard disk fails in the future or you decide to upgrade later to an SSD. The XPS 8300 running perfectly with a SSD, I have mine put in place with one. Then you can create a Rescue Disk (external hard drive Bootable) or Backup factory (Bootable USB Flash Drive) that will be promoted the recovery compared to the facts media with Dell DataSafe Local Backup. See here for more details:

• Satellite U940 - SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB

  Hello

  I had a new Satellite U940 - B484 Ultrabook.
  The first thing I did was finishing the wizard, then I created the recovery media (using external DVD drive) on three discs 4.7 GB DVD

  We have Windows 8 Pro license, so my friend formatted the system and installed new Windows 8 Pro, it seems Miss upward with the pilots decided to return to the status of the plant to find and download the appropriate device drivers.

  Even though we got the recovery ended, we have two questions:
  Major problem: SSD drive shows the only 11.22 GB capacity!
  Minor cause: a device in Device Manager does not work properly!

  There is no logical explanation for the SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

  Think only entered in my mind was the ability to have the 2x16GB and the RAID (for some reason any) changed from RAID 0, RAID 1. But even if that's true, where Devil can I change to go to?

  > Is there any logical explanation for SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

  You have probably installed Win 8 on the SSD drive and this is the reason why you have only 11 GB of free space.
  The laptop seems to be equipped with a 500 GB HARD drive and a 32 GB SSD.

  I recommend you to check the available on the SSD drive partition table.
  You can check in the Disk Management to win 8

• HARD drive shows less space than it actually is.

  So, we have an iMac 2010 and it's on Yosemite. We installed Windows 7 earlier on a bootcamp partition and it worked fine. Well, go ahead some time and I try to delete the BootCamp partition to save space as we never use it. Utility disk I would remove it, but it wouldn't let me not resize the OS X partition to recover the 300 GB used Bootcamp. So I did everything I could think of with disk utility and he ended up telling me that it cannot repair the disk and try the recovery disk. I did and he told me that he had to be reformatted as he could not do anything. I moved everything I wanted and it reformatted my El Capitan USB installation off the coast. I thought that this going to fix my problem, but not the whole HARD disk it's only 700 GB instead of 1 TB. It shows no way to resize or whatever it is. Something that I watch shows only 700 GB, but I know very well that it is a 1 TB drive. How can I get the HARD drive to its appropriate size?

  Also, the command "diskutil list cs" shows exactly nothing when I try. He said only "No CoreStorage groups of logical volumes found."

  Please after the release of

  diskutil list

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

  You will be asked your password, that are not displayed to you.

  Utility disk and BC Assistant should not be interchanged to manipulate partitions.

• Adding a second hard drive to a 500-380nf Pavilion?

  I just bought a new 500-380nf Pavilion.

  In the store I did understand the seller I was intending to add second hard drive to a 1 to SATA (which I already loaded with all my media files).

  However, now I am home and have taken the side panel, it seems that the system a capacity for 2 more SATA connections on the motherboard, power cable from spare at least one and a lot of physical space.

  BUT the chassis appears to have been designed with ONLY 2 bays - that are occupied by the existing hard drive and the optical drive.   Am I missing something?   There is a place to mount the second hard drive, isn't there?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Some models of the HP 500 - xxx series are provsioned for a 2.5 device "(SDD ou HD)."  See the image below.

  

  If you have removed the optical drive you can then use a 5.25 "to two hard drive adapter 2.5"since you mentioned a 2.5 hard drive".

• 380 GB hard drive using only 127 GB?

  I have a 380 GB hard drive in my computer, but the computer shows me that I have only 127 GB. Is the space lost forever or it's just unreadable?
  Is there a way I can go back this space?
  Thank you

  Run diskmgmt.msc check in the lower pane, how the disk is allocated. Any section with a black bar is unallocated space, if you right-click on the allocated space blue to the left, you can extend this player to include the unallocated space

  If the disk is divided into 2 partitions blue then the remaining space is another drive and should have its own drive letter.

• Why import AVCHD properly storing sequences map (SD card) while the same images completely transferred to an external hard drive imports only the video with no audio?

  I shoot on a Sony Alpha a65 and it uses AVCHD when recording. I have not met this problem before.

  I transferred the entire contents of a memory card on my external hard drive.

  I tried to import the images from the hard drive, both using the import media browser-only video clips are imported with NO AUDIO.

  I thought that I had corrupted images as my memory card was images of two different rods. I turned one on 2 October and the other on 15 Oct (approx.).

  HOWEVER: I then tried to import directly from the SD card - and it worked! Audio, video and all.

  I can change this being, of course, but it's a concern I have obviously can't keep the SD card only for this sequence forever - and backup to external hard drive will not audio. That might mean that I won't be able to pick up on it in the future, if necessary.

  Can you help solve this problem – that is, with the film which is not imported correctly from the external hard drive or why something is lost in the transfer - and explain why this happens?

  Please note: I tried marqueeing everything and do drag and drop, as well as select and drag / move, when you transfer the images from the SD card to the external hard drive. I'm using a Lacie Rugged 1 TB (firewire option).

  Maybe there's a hidden system files that are not copied.  You have "View hidden files" enabled and "do not show system files" in the Folder Options disabled?

• How to make Toshiba USB 250 GB HARD drive read-only?

  Hello

  I just plug a Toshiba USB 250g external hard drive to replace all the sticks of memory, I've been using.

  I'll use this external hard drive to copy files to other computers and I would like to know how to make the drive read-only.

  Moreover, all the other tips to protect the disc would be extremely welcome.

  I use a Dell with Windows 7 laptop.

  Thank you very much

  Dougal

  I don't know what HARD drive you have exactly, but I know that Toshiba offers a software protection with external hard drives.
  Did you check manuals? Is something like that provided with your HARD drive?

  Maybe you need to use some third party software part for the protection of files on the HARD drive. Google all over the place.
