My c drive partition

A partition labled partition 1 is in my c drive and I want to get it out.

Check you want to do - the score was probably installed there for a reason (even if you don't) and removing could cause problems with the system or additional programs to the system (like your recovery or diagnostic disc).  It is better just leave it alone unless you need the space or have some other GOOD reason (not only because it bore you).

The following was posted in another thread by Richard Urban, MVP (slightly modified):

"If the volume in question is 'after' drive C: (your system partition), you can simply delete the volume. You can expand the system to the right volume. If the partition in question is before the system partition (to the)
left) the tools provided with Vista will not handle the problem.  I don't know, but I think that the following software will do the trick:
http://www.partition-tool.com/landing/partition-magic.htm?gclid=CODU7ar_kJ8CFUlo5QodsSIqKg.

Vista (like Windows XP available) is also disk and partition sensitive. If you have a C: drive for data, and your system is installed on the D: drive, you can not only remove the C: drive and extend system partition to noted that the space - even with 3rd tools part. The operating system starts and you will have an exercise in frustration in getting it to do. Be prepared to reinstall the operating system, as it may be necessary to do so (and it will probably take a clean installation)".

In short, be VERY careful on what you are doing here.  It is very easy to mess up your system so that you have to do a clean install to fix it.  You should back up your important data before doing this.

I hope this helps.

Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • Satellite P750 PSAY1A: how to create the recovery Toshiba on the new HARD drive partition

    Hello

    I have an old Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022). I just upgraded my memory from 4 GB to 8 GB and am preparing to take my 500 GB HARD drive 1 TB. I had to order the disk online and wait to happen.

    I always try to understand how to create the arrival of my new HARD drive Toshiba Recovery Partition. I do the same thing for an old book, I handled based on something similar to it's original factory State.

    I have reflected on the recovery partition, but does not know how it was created. It is not NTFS. Does anyone have experience in the creation of a Toshiba Recovery on a new HARD drive Partition?

    And the help is very appreciated.

    Thanks and regards,
    Dinesh

    Recovery partition can be created when you use the original Toshiba Recovery disk and install recovery image. Before the partitions to boot OS install will be automatically created, recovery image copied on a recovery and then partition as last step recovery image installation starts.

    A sort of migration of files from one to the other HARD disk is not solution.

    Only for laptop with factory will work and the usable recovery partition.

  • Cannot take possession of the hard drive Partition

    I have a partition on my hard drive to store media. OS is XP home SP3. For some reason, I didn't have full access to certain folders on the partition so I tried to change the permissions for the entire score. I don't remember exactly what I did, but the main thing is that I have more access to the root of the partition. (I can always access all files using the file Explorer). I tried to appropriate the partition via the safe mode and the administrator account, but it won't allow me to take this way. I also tried to merge with the c drive partition using partition magic, but I had an error half way through the process. I suppose that the permissions would not happen. I read on the internet that "you can always take ownership' and I wonder what I'm doing wrong.

    Can someone help me?

    Manually apply permissions to a file or folder, follow these steps. Manually apply permissions, it's something that only advanced users should do because you could end up with unexpected results.

    1. right click on the file or folder and then clickProperties.

    2. click on the tab Security and then clickchange.

    3. If you want to set permissions for a user who is not listed undergroup or user names, click Add, type everyone in the name of the user or group, clickOK, select permissions and then click OK.

  • How to copy the recovery on the new HARD drive partition, HARD drive failed?

    Hallo,

    I have a Compaq Mini netbook with Windows 7 Starter.

    The HARD drive has failed and it is not repairable. However, it seems that the recovery partition is OK.

    I want to buy a new HARD drive, install the driver on the netbook, and then use the tools/recovery partition to install windows 7 on a new PC.

    So, the question is simple: how to copy the recovery for the new HARD drive partition?

    Hello s91066.

    If your hard drive of your laptop doesn't have? If this is the case, what do you mean by the "recovery partition is ok? I doubt that this laptop has two hard disks, so if you are able to see this partition of your hard drive may still work.

    You will need a set of recovery disks to restore the partitions on the new drive. If you can start Windows, which you can probably not with a dead hard drive, you can follow these steps if you can get into Windows.

    If you are unable to boot into Windows, you need a set of disks. You can order it directly from HP. The number of the United States / Canada is 1-800-474-6836. If you are in another domain, you must visit HP's Support around the world to find contact information for your region.

    I hope that is useful; have a great weekend!

  • How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery

    How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

    Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

    With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

    Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

  • question about a new external hard drive partitioning

    I just bought a TB G-Technology G 4 USB 3.0 drive to replace my old Lacie which is way to small.  It has served me well.

    I Google search on the net and research here in the discussions, I should create partitions, and if so, how, a few observations are in each article thread or by email.  A reason to partition (actually more than one partition) is so we can have a section for our time Machine backups, and for a section where we want to save our data backup and one for our user data?  I have not seen a clear statement on what might be the 'data', or what might be the 'user data '.  And if the time machine is backed up, is it NOT back up my data files?

    In order to unravel how the partitions I should create in my 4 TB Ex HD, can someone help me better understand what I should and should not save in time machine?  And if I choose to NOT include it in my Time Machine backup, why would I use a partition do it to, in order to save manually?  I do not pretend that it sounds stupid, I'm not clear on what 'it' is and what info I use to make the best decision for my use.

    Thanks a lot for any wisdom you could share with me.

    Michelle

    Have a Time Machine backup partition on the same drive as your data is a stupid backup plan. Since the main cause of data loss is disk failure to have the backup on the same disk as the means of data when the wrong road, you lose everything.

    At Time Machine backup. You never know what data you will lose.

    I suggest that you give up your plan to make the Time Machine backups on the same drive as the data. You need another player for that.

  • Example: Pavilion 2226: hard drive partition

    I have little space unallocated and add volume to the C drive. But I'm unable to extend the volume that the option "extend volume" was greyed out. Please suggest how to extend the volume on drive C. I use Windows 8 OS 64-bit unique language.

    Differnet reasons extend grey Volume

    Here are some situations where a Volume "extend" will not work:

    1. If there is no allocated or free space on hard drive or the space is not contiguous and after the partition that needs expansion.
    2 users want to extend a primary partition, but there is only a free space immediately after the partition target.
    3. If the partition is not a NTFS partition. According to Microsoft, which extends the service volume in disk management only works for a vintage or a NTFS partition.

    Try using MiniTool Partition Wizard, which can help you with the problem.

  • Satellite A215-S4757 blue screen & startup failure after HARD drive partitioning

    I just bought a Satellite A215-S4757 a week ago & I tried to divide my hard drive coz, I was only one partion (250 GB) using acronis disk director.

    After that I got the blue screen and now I failed to start and I tried all the options to repair my windows or load in SafeMode to no avail coz it crashes just from the window of microsoft corporation.

    I tried to reinstall windows vista with the cd but still does not!
    pls someone helo me :(

    Hello

    Creator of disc of Acronis does not for me but I know for sure that you can split the capacity of the HARD drive into two partitions with rendering recovery DVDs. Start your laptop with recovery DVDs and check the option to install it.

    You must have a mobile US model. I am from Europe and I don't know about you how it works with the recovery media in the United States, but it should be similar to the European and because of that it must be an option to divide the capacity of the HARD disk with two partitions.

    Please try again. It should work somehow.

  • Questions on on Satellite A300 HARD drive partitions

    Hello

    I would like to install a new OS (new operating system: Windows 7, old OS: Vista Edition Home Premium) on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A300-237) to repartition the whole HARD drive. I see a non-standard partition, its size is of ~ 1 GB, can I delete this partition?

    What information contains this partition?
    I did the recovery previously by Toshiba HDD Recovery disks. Guess when I delete any partition and put in place and installation of the discs, will recover the initial state (including the hidden partition)?

    Thank you

    If you want to install your own Win7 version delete all existing partitions and then create a C partition for the installation of the OS.
    I guess you write over WinRE partition and it is about 1.5 GB.

    I installed Win7 ultimate 32 bit on my Satellite A300 and it works perfectly.
    If you need assistance with installing Win7 let me know.

  • Question about hard drive Partitions

    My Satellite C650 bought recently has two equal size partitions - C (called Windows) and D (known as data). However, my "Users" folder and so all my data is stored on the C drive (with all programs) while the D drive and has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.

    How to move my file 'Users' the D drive - and if I do - it somehow it is interfering with the HARD drive folder?
    This can be as simple as move the users folder - but I'm not sure if the installation of 'Libraries' or all Office programs will always seek on the C drive for data.

    I would like some advice before as I did try.

    >... While the D drive has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.
    That s not the truth. You can use the free space on the second partition. HDDrecovery is just a folder where recovery image is saved. You can enter the folder properties and set it as invisible and you will see it.

    This recovery is important for two things:
    -for the creation of recovery DVDs
    -for HARD drive recovery procedure.

    Generally speaking, if you have created recovery DVD (highly recommended) you can delete this folder, but after doing this, you will not be able to create recovery DVDs or of the installation of recovery disk (F8 at startup).

    You have to understand how it works?
    If you have any other questions please let me know.

  • Question about the recovery of HARD drive partition

    Hello

    I have 2 partitions: C: and d:

    What do you think of this? Can I delete these files on D:?
    When restart us the computer after pressed F8, is associated with the files to D: or hidden partition recovery option.

    Thanks in advance

    Boulbar

    Hello

    I'll try to provide answers.
    > I wanted to record video data on D: and was surprised to find some hdd files and folders reverie about it.
    The same situation is on all laptops come with HARD drive recovery image. Recovery image is saved in the folder called HDDRecovery. It is recommended to create recovery DVDs using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. When the recovery DVD is created, you can delete these files and use of recovery DVDs for the operating system installation.
    Otherwise the partitions are large enough, and you should leave this file here. Just define it as hidden and you won't.
    > Again, I have a small partition hidden and thought that hard drive recovery waas on that.
    This small partition has nothing to do with the Toshiba recovery image. Recovery image Toshiba is large enough and cannot be saved on small partition.
    > When restart us computer after pressing F8, is associated with the files to D: or hidden partition recovery option.
    They are related to the folder HDDRecovery and recovery stored image. When you delete drive recovery option HARD is no longer available.

    Hello world!

    I bought Toshiba M70-144 Satellite. When I opened my first laptop computer, there are Win XP was preinstalled. Drive hard 60 GB has been "cut in half" for logical drives C and D.

    Now I had to recover my pc, and I've used easy setup (press 1). All files have been removed from hardrive and installation not done as a single partition (C 60 GB drive).

    So my question is:

I can't find any info on the use of expert mode and my local support of Toshiba said they do not support this option. Can you believe? I just want to samekind of installation that I had before (manufactured by the factory) and which is not supported by toshiba!
