Partition disks

Hello everyone. Can someone help me please. Im trying to remove 50G of my C drive to the D drive, but I can't. I tried the disk management and diskpart.exe and still nothing. Expand option is grayed out. What I can do. TIA

You can't do that with Vista disk management.

You can't take a bit of C: and nail it on D:

You can delete D: after the recording of data he > then extend C: into the now unallocated space where D: is.

  • Partition disk 2 TB external hard

    I have an external HD 2 TB Seagate, which was initially set up with Windows 7 pro NTFS. I have about 400 GB of mainly video files that I want to save.  I'd like to partition the drive with the windows files and use about half of it for my Mac. I only use my Mac desktop / ElCapitan latest version since June of 2015 and gradually I got used.

    And help with this would be greatly appreciated.  Please advise!

    When you want to share a disk with Mac and PC, you must reformat the partition of the disk from scratch, so you must save video files on the other drive first.

  • Question: How can I change disk space for partitioned disks?

    I'm having a problem using top too much disk space on my (vista) C drive on my satellite L500, now that I've filled with iTunes music files. I want to use a part of the E drive to 'Add' on the C drive space. Is this possible?

    Also, could I just use the E-drive to add anyway, if I told iTunes to look for a few songs and C E for others? E has special properties like the recovery partition that can complicate things?

    Thanks if anyone can help!

    Hello

    1 delete all the files and unnecessary programs from the disk: C to the freed space.
    2. move all the movies, photos, music on the disk E;
    3. If you use the Download Manager to download files, you can change the path where to save the downloaded files in your local case: E

    You can change the size of the partition in administrative tools in Control Panel. However, I prefer to use a partition manager paragon to resize partitions on my computers. Before add/create partitions, make sure that you have made a recovery disk.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but I can't return to Windows, even in safe mode.

    If this is the case, then you need the recovery media you can perform a factory image recovery.

    You can remove the hard drive and connect it to another PC through an external drive enclosure or a usb cable to sata. Which will allow you to copy your important data from the drive to another device of storage for extra security.

  • how hard Partition disk (properly)

    Sorry for the noob question... but want to get this right before you start installation/migration of the stuff on my new computer: HP Pavilion A6 Vision running Windows 7 Desktop

    I want to create a new partition on my hard drive... so I decreased the volume of drive C: using DISK MANAGEMENT... He did it... so once I had a half of the white c:... I formatted the empty spot to make a new "Drive B:"

    Seems simple enough... and thought it would be.   But I have a green box around the B: drive saying that it is a "logical drive" when all my other partitions is not a green box around it, and other partitions say they are "Primary Drive", which I assume is desirable for my new drive B: or "Primary Drive" like all the others.

    (the key of dark green at the bottom of the screen says it's an "extended" instead of the dark blue 'primary' partition partition.  Guess it is a simple thing... but for the life of me, I can't figure out on my own... Please help.)

    Thanks in advance.

    Fresco,

    The reference to documents by TOM are on-site.  The green box shows the extended partition that can be cut upward into logical partitions.

  • Problem with 'size of available shrink space' when you try to partition disk

    I spent a good amount of time trying to partition my drive hard so that I can start in Windows Vista and XP, but I am still unable to do so. My ultimate goal is to improve the transition from Vista to Windows 7 (with the upgrade disk), while being able to boot Windows XP.

    I have a 320 HDD with 170 GB free. There currently have Vista Business 64 - bit installed on it. Initially the shrink size was only 280 MB. I read online that I would need to defragment that I did.

    I tried to defrag the hard drive with Perfect Disk 10 and Disk Defragmenter Vista several times. However, the only amount that was released, totaled at least 1 GB.

    I tried shrinking the HDD again, make a separate 984 MB partition. Unfortunately, this is the largest size I amable to get.

    In addition, I tried of using DiskPart to shrink, what with the same problems.

    Can someone help me please?

    If you have problems here are the methods to reinstall Vista.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

    Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

    Ask them to the proper key sequence.

    And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

    Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

    If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • partitioned disks

    I have 3 drives partitioned on my Windows 7 HOME machine:

    C being the "Startup disk" with all my programs and data ~ understood!
    Here's my dilemma:
    E is called '' reserve system, '' and contains 3 files when the poster: a $recycle.bin, a startup folder and a folder of remote programs. It's only 38 mb in size and these 3 files have not changed, since May of 2013 and the other two not since July and August of 2012!
    the 3rd disc is called "Secondary" F and is 19.4 Go. He has a few listed files: another $recycle.bin, program files (x 86) program files, programdata, remote programs, users, and windows. I think I should have copied the c files on this partition f in June of 2013 as a backup, I don't know, but June 3, 2013 is changing the most recent what on the f drive.
    My question is this: can I NEED E or F? Can I safely delete E and F? Do you have Windows 7 create these partitions when installed, or...?
     

    It almost seems as if these disk partitions could have already altered, or least used outside their original purpose.

    The system reserve partition is created by Windows for its own use. It would normally be a hidden partition, 100MB in size. This thread talking about the possibility of remove:

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-performance/can-i-delete-the-system-reserved-partition-from/656014d2-A516-46e6-a841-d0f9333ecb48

    Your "Secondary" partition strangely resembles a (former?) system recovery partition that the computer manufacturer would have placed on the hard drive. These scores are often hidden and containing files of resettlement for the operating system, drivers and other software than the OEM supplied with the computer. The recovery of these partitions feature can be made unusable if the partition is affected. You want to ensure that you have a working set of the recovery disc for the PC before you may change this partition or delete.

  • resizing HARD disk partitions/disks

    looking for guidance and advice please.  Have the s10-3 with 160 GB HARD drive that comes with the OEM partition for a restore (good) the hidden partition (OK) key and then a C drive which is 103 GB and poartition D: Lenovo, which has 30 GB - I understand the D drive is houses all pilots and is also implemented by default for win7 save files from C to D.  In my case there is no files on the netbook I don't have elsewhere, and I have a secondary backup through an external HARD drive that I use regularly.  So what I want to do is re - allocate the majority of drive D say 20 GB on drive C and consider up to 123 Go.

    How can I do this?

    I had a f = brief foray into windos Disk Manager which allowed me to reduce the drive D to 10 GB, but put in place another F drive because it is located in the same partition as drive D and I did not see an order to transfer the volume F and C.

    So is - this possible and if so, how?

  • Installation of the recovery on laptop with partitions disk

    Hello

    I made a partition on my laptop using Partition Magic. What will happen if I use the recovery CD to reinstall the system? The system will delete the partition or will only format and settle on the C: drive. Thanks to advamce

    Hello

    As in the previous announcement described the recovery CD provide two types:
    Standard recovery mode and expert recovery mode.
    Standard mode removes the whole HARD drive, also the partitions.
    In expert mode, you can choose which partitions the OS is to be installed.
    Then only the files and data on this partition will be deleted.

  • Boot Camp Windows Installation 10 - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It's the GPT partition style.

    Hello

    I tried to dual boot Windows 10 alongside OS X El Capitan on my iMac 21.5 inch i5 end 2013. I have followed all the instructions in the Boot Camp assistant, restart, choose the yellow 'Windows' drive to boot from, but when I get to the Windows installation, enter the product key and language, and then select the partition (0-4, the partition Disk Partition) it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

    So I found this answer: How do I install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

    But then I received the same error.

    Tried this: http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362

    But fdisk TPG allow me to change anything, as the SIP is enabled.

    Tried to disable SIP via a command line in a terminal in recovery mode, but got an error-bash: command not found csrutil.

    So now I'm stuck on all fronts. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    RedPanda

    1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

    2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

    3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

    4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

    5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

    diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

    This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

    6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

    7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

    8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

    9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.
