Only the C: partition?

All that puts my data on the C: partition is worthless. He got rained at the end, but in bad weather I was reformatting and reinstallation on once a year.  If I have to put my data, even temporarily, I'll pass. OneDrive forces the user to use the C: partition?

What on Earth were you doing on your computer, you had to reformat every year!

No, you don't have to store the OneDrive on the C: folder. During the installation of the application for Windows 7, you will be asked where you want to place the file.

  • Only the C partition on the new Satellite C50-B-14Z

    Hello

    I'm not an experienced user, but I'll do my best to explain the problem.

    I bought Toshiba Satellite C50-B-14Z with 8.1 installed Windows, and when starting the system, I noticed that there is only one partition of hard drive, the C partition. When you enter the disk management, I see there are 4 basic partitions already (500 GB disk):

    -Recovery - 1 GB
    -EFI system - 100 MB
    -Recovery - 10.97 GB
    -C (boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition) - 453,57 GB

    They are all primary partitions, and I read on the forums that you can have only 4 those primary, so I can't add one more to the D partition, I would like to have.
    Possibility that I offered in "actions" is to create a virtual hard drive, but I guess that is not the same thing.
    I also read that you can create new partition if you have "unallocated" space (partition), but all 4 before indicated are those primary and not affected.

    Then, the next opportunity that I read on is to do a right-click on C and "reduce volume", and then create new partition from the rest of the space (if I understand it is good), but then I read in Windows Help:
    "When you shrink a partition, all regular files are automatically transferred to the disk to create the new unallocated space. There is no need to reformat the drive to shrink the partition. » ... "If the partition is a raw partition (that is, a lack of a file system) that contains data (for example, a database file)", reducing the partition may destroy the data. ""

    Normally, I have never tested a large part with the C partition, and now I don't know if I would destroy some system files while doing this "shrinkage" and I don't have the CD installation for the system, so I can't fix it if I ruin something.

    Please advise...

    Yes, this is the right way to have more than one partition. You can define what capacity should partition C and any free space can be "convert" to the D partition.

    One last thing: don't forget to create a recovery (DVD or USB) media. It is very important to have recovery image back-up.

  • Remove OSX and keep only the bootcamp partition

    Hi all

    After one year, I noticed I never use OSX and I only use Windows on the bootcamp partition.

    1. is it safe to remove the OSX partition so I have more room for the bootcamp partition?

    2. If I never need OSX once again, I could reinstall?

    Thank you

    Gert

    1. it is safe to do so. Your Mac will not stop doing, worry not. However, you will not receive any new firmware update, so I would advise you to keep the OS x on a small partition at least.

    2. you can reinstall OS X whenever you want with recovery of the Internet. To reinstall OS X, you must only press the control, Alt and R keys during start up your Mac, but you need to format the disc first.

  • C220 FlexFlash card only comes with partition HV

    All documents, including installation guide shows that the FlexFlash card should ship with four partitions: HV, HUU, UCS and drivers.

    Mine has only the HV partition.  This was not a problem since I started from HUU and UCS as virtual drives if necessary, but as this is a new server, I'm afraid it might be a hardware problem with the card.

    It's a c220 UCS, built to TRC1 M3.

    Is this normal or something I should dig deeper before?

  • Upgrade to Vista 64 - bit of Windows 7 64 bit, while maintaining the recovery partition

    I want to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit HP HP 64-bit of Windows Vista, but I want to assure you that I keep my recovery partition, just in case I want to come back to my original configuration. It is very important to me since the thumbnail with the original Vista product key is no longer legible.

    When upgrading to a new version, Windows 7 will affect only the system partition where Windows Vista is installed. Recovery partitions would be unaffected.

    Just be sure you can do a backup:

  • Satellite C660 - D partition is full, but I only use the C partition

    I get a message that hard drive, D drive is full, but I don't use that drive C. I thought D was for elements of recovery. How can I decide what elements should not be in d and how how to decide what to delete/move?

    > I thought that D was for elements of recovery
    This isn't 100% correct.
    Of course, Toshiba Recovery files are placed in the folder of recovery on the D partition, BUT this does not mean that you cannot store other files on that partition.
    You can.

    >. How can I decide what elements should not be in D
    Before saving the files on the HARD disk, you will be asked for the place. You can always decide where these files should be stored.

    > and how to decide what to delete/move?
    It s your own decision to tell what files you want to move / delete.
    If you don't care about t of some files and some files are not important for you, you could remove it.

    I always install my programs on the system C partition. But the independent files such as music (mp3 files), images (jpeg, jpg, etc...) I always record on another partition

  • Oddity of the Bootcamp Partition

    Hi all

    Recently, I created a Boot Camp partition on my drive of Fusion that I then had to remove the Windows could not be installed (different question).  Then, I see that my drive looks like which is very good:

    But curiously, the player is actually two partitions:

    And when the partition Boot Camp put it in the middle of my drive of Fusion.  Logically, I guess this is not matter as long as the operating system knows that OSX partition 1 and partition OSX 3 are a logical drive of fusion (with WIN 2 Boot Camp partition) but it does seem weird. Why it would be doing Boot Camp instead of put the score at the end?

    For clarity, the Fusion drive was wiped clean and so it was not because of the fragmentation of the files.

    Thank you.

    This is normal and expected behavior. On a Mac, when a hybrid MBR is used to support the old BIOS/MBR facilities, it has two limitations.

    1. it supports only four 4 entries.

    2. it supports only 32-bit integers. This limits the size of addressable blocks 2 TB and 2 to the MBR.

    BCA wizard locates the Windows partition in the middle of the LVG CS and then spans the two pieces into one. Use Time Machine to blend in the contiguous physical disks.

    This limitation does not exist on Mac GPT/EFI (the latest models 2013 and following). W7 has many problems with GPT/EFI and is not used on the Mac, but can be installed using GPT/EFI on PC.

  • Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

    Hi all

    Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

    Here are the specs:

    1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

    2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

    Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

    Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

    I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Maybe you can explain a little better.

    I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

    It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

    For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

    Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

    I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

  • Satellite C650 14U: recovery media creates the recovery partition?

    Hello, I used the recovery media creator to create a USB flash drive recovery media.

    If I can use that to restore Windows 7 installation on a new hard drive (as the SSD) will be the drive itself have the recovery media on that partition?

    So if I then lose the USB could restore again by pressing zero when turn?

    Or it does not retrieve the Windows partition and nothing more?

    Thank you

    First of all, the new hard drive itself has no partition recovery on it. The recovery partition is a copy of the system partition and locates at another location, therefore, restored from a recovery media unit contains just the partition system without recovery partition.

    Second, if you have a recovery on a local disk partition, you can always restore by pressing zero when power on/off. If this isn't the case, I am sorry to say that you don't you have no source of food.

    In third place, somehow, we can say that it only retrieves the system partition.

  • Satellite T130-11 t - need to clean the D partition and increase partition C

    Hi all
    This is my first post and Im not a grumpy so apologies in advance. Ive tried searching the Internet for help with this but cant get long, it is therefore proposed that post.

    I have a Satellite T130-11 t which has 232 GB HDD. Setting it up as 2 drives, C and D with 116 GB on each. The C drive is complete, but its probably just photos / movies so I can solve that by copying the external hard disk, but the D drive is roughly the same.

    Ive looked at the directory and under HDD recovery it is a subfolder called swing and inside are 8 x .srm extensions and 2 x crc files, are all of 2009.

    Files take about 8Gb and I can't delete them as it says I should do so under SYSTEM - the operating system is in German so Im a little hesitant exaclty, what the problem is - and systemfile nervous deletion.

    Drive D but has more than 90 GB of info - when I click on drive D in Windows Explorer, it does not at all look like, there are all large files it. Could there be some hidden files not seen Im?

    Performance is very slow and I want to save or delete/reformat the drive D to drain - any ideas how to clean my D drive please and ideally reduce its size and move some of the allocation of memory on the C drive without losing my data already on C?

    I understand forums that the HARD drive is a recovery file, but should take only about 10 GB cannot so I a C of say 200 GB and 30 GB on D drive?

    Yet once I don't want to corrupt or lose all data already C

    Also when I start it, a message informs you that there are missing files in the directorym LOCAL smply disappeared.

    Thanks in advance

    MArk

    My first question is: did you create a recovery (DVD or USB) media? If Yes, you can use this media for any new OS install when you want. With other words, you can delete all the partition recovery D if you want, but in my opinion you should not do this. If these recovery files are still there you will also be able to use the HARD drive recovery facility.

    > Drive C is full, but its probably a few photos / movies so I can solve that by copying on the external hard drive...
    Fix.
    >.. but the D drive is substantially the same. Ive looked at the directory and under HDD recovery it is a subfolder called swing and inside are 8 x .srm extensions and 2 x crc files, are all of 2009.
    This file belongs to the original recovery image. More or less 10GB isn't a big deal. Leave it as it is.
    > Could it be Im not see hidden files?
    It is not easy to say, because we do not know how your laptop is configured and what files should be saved on the D partition. What you can try is to open the control panel > folder options > view > and check for hidden files and folders. Choose the option Show hidden... files and check again the D partition.
    > Also when I start it, a message informs you that there are missing files in the directorym LOCAL smply disappeared.
    In my opinion, nothing can simply disappeared.
    I think you should check them all, back up all of your important and after data makes this OS install using original recovery image. After that do you have own OS preinstalled, portable will have better performance and also, I think that you will be happy again.

  • Satellie Pro L830 - 11G - access to the recovery partition

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellie Pro L830 - 11G, running Windows 7

    I would like to restore it to the original settings.
    I tried various things, but so far no luck.

    When I look into the system, I see that the system recovery disk is always classified as "Healthy (active recovery partition)", but there ' hatching / diagonal lines "current running through it (if necessary) - when I right click on this drive, it offers me only the opton of"aid ". It gives so many 1.46 GB AND free space as 1.46 GB

    So, I don't know if that means he's here and I can access it somehow, or if it is just an empty disk but with no real possibility to recover original parameters.

    Hello

    This 1, 4 GB partition is created by Windows and has nothing to do with the created by Toshiba recovery partition where is backup recovery image. Toshiba recovery image has certainly more than 6 GB I think.

    On Win7 machines you can start the image recovery installation using F8 at startup. When you do this, you will have the menu boot advanced options and select the option to fix my computer. Detailed information on the recovery image installation you will find in the user manuals document s or on follow Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm

    Please note: disk image installation HARD recovery works if your phone has only factory.
    If you have changed something that he probably does not work. Under change something, I mean own installation operating system or changes in structure of HARD disk partitions.
