partition a xp disc

Hi I have a pc running windows xp and when I'm trying to partition my hard drive but the shrink volume knob does not come to the top is here
Another way that I can do other then the path in the mag of windows 7

The version of the XP Disk Manager cannot reduce a system volume. You should buy a second hard drive.

  • Re: Satellite L40 PSL48E: can I create a partition Vista installation disc

    Hello

    My Satellite L40 PSL48E came with a Vista recovery partition.
    As I despise Vista I bought a replacement drive and installed a new hard drive and installed XP pro.
    I retained the original drive in case I've never had a claim under warranty.

    Now, I find that, because of work, commitments, I occsionally use the despised Vista trash and wonder if it is possible to create a partition on the original disc installation disc so tha ti can create a system dual boot on my new drive.

    I am very reluctant to BUY a new Vista CD, since I already have a perfectly legal copy on a disk, which I am not using and I'll use it only rarely for this commitment to work.

    Any information received with gratitude

    Thank you Ron

    Hmm. If you have a HARD drive recovery option, then a complete image has been placed on the HARD drive and generally all cell phones with HARD drive recovery option is supported by a tool called TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator Toshiba.

    With this tool, you can create a Vista recovery DVD If the OS Vista, have been damaged, you can also try to start the computer by pressing the F8 key.
    This would allow an advanced boot menu.
    Here you must choose repair computer

    But note; This option is available only on laptops with HDD Recovery

  • How to fix the fsck "your drive could not be partitioned..." Bootcamp does not

    Hello, after days of searching for a solution and try several times to fix this, I write a question.

    I want to create a partition with Bootcamp to install Windows 7. Here's what I made in the following order:

    1. Tried to partition with bootcamp, but he was only let me pick 32 GB or 1024 GB (which I did not available).
    2. Manually create the partition with utility disk and at the start of my flash, found that USB 3.0 drive / Bluetooth drivers don't would not load then ran in question where I couldn't go beyond 'select language' screen on Win 7 install.
    3. Tried to restart and delete my partition but noticed that I couldn't so I had to boot in recovery of the Internet and the use of the terminal commands and gpt, deleted the unused partition and used disk utility to merge it into main drive. I followed these instructions: deleted my bootcamp partition, but can not resize my osx partition
    4. Re-directed training camp and received the error "your drive could not be partitioned."
    5. Disc repair/check etc. ran and found errors.
    6. Run fsck by this thread that your disk cannot be partitioned. Win7 Bootcamp and still got here.
    7. Thought that maybe filevault caused outcome so disabled that. 48 hours later my 2.3 TB have been deciphered.
    8. Ran bootcamp, same problem.
    9. Run fsck, same problem.
    10. Currently using TestDisk to analyse the sectors on disk 1, correct? :

    I'm ready to create another partition manual if I can get drivers USB/BT to work.


    Furthermore, anyone know why there is a limit of 32 GB/1024 on the size of my partition for bootcamp? Why can't choose anything between the two?

  • Problems with Partitions

    Hello. I am trying to download an update for a program that I use frequently. The program can run only on a sensitive file system without respect, so it does not work on my main partition. I partitioned a second disc which is not case sensitive so I could download it. This partition is now saturated. I tried more space partitioning but disk utility says "this partition is not modifiable.". Here is a screenshot of disk utility. What can I do to get more space for my second partition? I tried to make a third partition, which was case-insensitive as well to try to merge together, but disk utility says "this partition is not modifiable." Help, please?

    Copy the data from Macintosh HD 2 on an external drive. Delete the Macintosh HD 2 partition, and then create a new partition to fill the space. Copy the data to the new partition.

    This 3rd party software can help as it is reported to be more flexible than the disk utility.

  • Satellite M40x - recovery disk removes all partitions?

    Hello

    The new Toshiba satellite M40X I bought about 5 years and it came with the recovery disk. Now my system is slow and reflection on the running on it recovery disk.

    When I bought the system I think she only had one C: drive and later I partition on three discs. Now, I want to know that if I run the recovery on my laptop disk then it would remove all partitions because I took the backup of the c: only?

  • Satellite L755-154: waste of space of HARD drive due to the second partition

    Hello

    I bought this laptop so far everything goes well.
    However, there seems to be 2 partitions on it, the first is the C: drive that is around 300 GB, but the 2nd partition D: which is again about 300 GB, which has only the recovery drive?

    This seems to be a waste of hard drive space, because I bought it because it had a good-sized hard drive.
    Now, my question is that I have to make a record of this partition recovery, and then re - format both drives and install everything from scratch?

    Also, the recovery disc has all the drivers for all components of the laptop, as well as Windows 7?
    As I bought this form Amazon no windows disk or recovery disk was provided, only the windows 7 serial number.

    Thank you

    > Now, my question is what I need to do a recovery from that partition, then re disc - format both drives and install everything from scratch?

    In General, you should always create a recovery disk.
    If you have created a recovery disc then this disk will help you set the laptop back to factory settings. This means that all the HARD disk should be formatted and would once again create all partitions. This means that you will get these two partitions again.

    If you want to move the free space in partition D to C, then you will need to use a software of partitions. I use GParted its great tool

    > Also the recovery disc has all the drivers for all components of the laptop, and Windows 7
    Yes

    > As I bought this form Amazon no windows disk or recovery disk was provided, only the windows 7 serial number.
    See above, that you create this recovery disk!

  • Yet another partition Boot Camp damaged

    I've initially was trying to shrink my partition Mac utility disc (in El Capitan) and then planned on using Win7 to extend the Windows partition. From what I can tell and have read here, the empty space was not left not allocated, but was created as a fifth partition that messed up the MBR and unable to start Windows.

    I followed with the fix of Eversclever similar problem earlier today, but I can't get the MacBook boot recovery with ⌘R at startup. I just download El Capitan once again to make a bootable USB installation to enter the terminal and remove protection SIP in the morning. I wanted the details of my system because I'm a little concerned just making it worse until it will be unrecoverable. As it is now, I always have access to the files from the Boot Camp partition in the Finder in El Capitan. It will support during the night.

    Thank you in advance for lonely T and anyone who spends their time to help out us. I really wish that disk utility would not allow editing of the partition because it seems to be in difficulty. Of course there is always risk when playing with partitions, but what is the "safest" way to do it without backup and start over?

    If you are comfortable fixing the MBR issue, convert the partition without title to space and use GParted to merge windows and free space and run the Startup Repair tool, then Yes, it is possible to extend Windows using these tools.

    You can also use tools like Winclone or Camptune for resize/backup/restore Windows.

    Model Mac after end of 2013 supports Windows EFI, which removes the limits of use and to manipulate the MBR that allows resizing much more easily.

  • Boot Camp said "we couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one.

    I am trying to install Windows using Boot Camp 8.1, after having previously deleted my partition Windows 10 after getting into a loop Auto Repair. I get the following error after hitting the button "format" on the installation of Windows: "we could not create a new partition to locate an existing one. For more information, see the Setup logs files. »

    Look at the other pages, I'm noting I have seem to have more than the other disk partitions (although the disk utility says I have no partitioned disks). In the Windows Setup screen, the following things are displayed:

  • When I reset my vista 64 bits to factory settings it converted NTFS partition

    Now it crashes and it loads 32 system files. How can I restore it is 64-bit and the other file system again. Pls help. He says that my computer is in perfect health and keeps crashing several times per hour. I am disabled and it is my only means of communication. How to install the right files or partition for the discs I have? Thank you very much.

    Your understanding of what is in System32 and the operating system to 64-bit uses/does not sounding false use.  You did not have enough features to say much more about that.

    You have two hearts, not two processors.  The main difference between multiple cores and multiple physical processors, despite having the same treatment capacity, is the fact that multiple cores can be inserted in a single dose and multiple cores share some CPU as memory Cache & Bus Interface. With the multi-core processors, sysytems can save a lot of space and increase performance.

    Why NTFS is a problem?  This is a file system that allows more security and individual more large file (and together) sizes.  It's just a FAT32, EXT3 file system, etc.  It is NATIVE to Windows Vista file system.  Installing Windows Vista on one file system other than NTFS (such as FAT32) is not something normal and not easy to accomplish, actually pretty involved.  Actually - I think it's the case, all around, of you think you got something when you do not have and do not understand the reality of all this.

    • Your installation of Windows Vista * is * more than likely installed on an NTFS (the road at least system) partition.  The NTFS debate has little or nothing to do with your 64-bit system discussion.  The file system on the disk and the operating system - well, they'll talk each other despite the architecture of the operating system.
    • You will use the 32-bit and 64-bit files when you use a 64-bit operating system.  In fact - most of the things likely to * you * will install on it right now * are * 32-bit.
    • You have a * single * processor with two cores.  Not two processors (which would be, in todays systems in any case, probably mean you'd have between 4 to 8 hearts).  The number of cores/processors you have nothing (really) has to do with the architecture of your operating system.
    • F11 - is it an HP system?  Are you saying that you use restore their (HP) of the system to the factory defects it installs the 32-bit version of Windows Vista instead of the 64-bit version?  Or are you assumptions and jumping to conclusions based on things, you may not understand fully (the system files on the drive, the folder "system32", the fact that 64-bit operating systems use 32-bit file almost as much (maybe more) than they do those of 64 - bit, etc.?)

    What you trying to do?

    If the system hangs permanently after a destructive reset - it is probably a hardware problem.  In all cases, contact HP (if my guess based on what you have given so far is correct).  They are your first line of support for this system. They will tell you what you need to do in order to really restore default values and where you get the latest drivers for hardware device for the hardware of the machine, etc..

  • My pcdid not equipped with any disk but has a recovery partition. How can I get vista to reinstall

    can I burn the recoery CD?

    Read the General information below on the recovery of Partitions and recovery discs and contact the manufacturer of your computer.

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
