Partition not appearing is not in the main drive.

Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

Ideas: I partitioned a 1 terabyte of hard drive and when I use the primary drive it only shows the partitioned drive. If I boot with the other drive in 32-bit mode, it shows all the drives in my computer including partitioned drive. Have you tried many solutions online and nothing solves this.

Hello

·        What is the operating system installed on the primary drive?

·        The score appears in disk management?

  • Mac boots, but get error file not recognized on the main drive system

    Hi there, I just upgraded my hard drive to a 1 to. I used Carbon Copy clone to create an exact copy of my old 500 GB drive. I started using the new disc, everything seemed fine. But then I went to extend the partition and nothing happened. I clicked on check the disk and now I get this error? Problems with the partition plan?

    Ive tried to boot into recovery and run it there, always the same results. Any help out there?

    Thank you

    Aled.

    You have only one volume on the drive. As far as I can tell it will be to the entire physical disk. Therefore, you cannot extend it. You could reduce it only.

    To resize the car do the following:

    1 restart the computer after the ring, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

    Once the main menu appears, select disk utility and click on the continue button. Select the main hard drive, and then click the Partition tab in the main window of THE.

    2. you should see the window sizing graphic showing existing partitions. A party may appear as a blue rectangle that represents the space used on a partition.

    3. in the lower right corner of the rectangle sizing for each partition is a sizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle to the top until you have reduced the score existing enough to create the new volume size desired. The area under the resized partition appears gray. Click on the apply button and wait until the process is complete.  (Note: you can only do a smaller partition to create the new free space.)

    4. click on the button [+] below the window size to add a new partition in the gray space you freed. Name the new volume, if you want, and then click the apply button. Wait until the process is completed.

    You should now have a new volume on the drive.

    It would be wise to have a backup of your system like resizing is not necessarily without risk of data loss.  Your drive must have enough contiguous free space to this process works.

    Do not create a partition Windows in this way. Use Boot Camp Assistant in your Utilities folder for this purpose.

    -By clicking on OK the prompt again in about 20 seconds. It never stops.

  • "Could not find the main class" Java error on Windows 7, but not Windows XP

    Hi all

    It's the first app I try to package and virtualize with ThinApp.

    It is an old business application that usually runs on Windows XP SP3 x 86.

    The. MSI that I generated with Thinapp works very well when it is installed on a Windows XP SP3 x 86.

    However, our main goal to use Thinapp is to install on a Windows 7 SP1 x 64.

    But in doing so, the application triggers a Java Virtual Machine Launcher error message saying: "could not find the main class. Program will exit. »

    I thought that it was because the app includes a 1.4.2 JVM and that my XP has not any JVM pre-installed, but the main image on my W7 has a 1.7 JVM. But even after I uninstalled the 1.7 and installed JVM 1.4.2 on the W7 machine, I kept getting the error message so I guess that it is not bound.

    Y at - it an option that I missed during my MSI generation so that it can run on a Windows 7 x 64?

    Thank you all for your help.

    D.

    With the help of Lachi, we found that the app natively works on W7, no need for ThinApp it if the goal is just to make it work on W7, from a XP world.

    The only change we had to make (and the error was the same ThinApp-ed, which is what I originally shared) is that the application should work with Windows 7 in "classic" mode "of the screen (without Aero and the menu start XP-style). This is because the application runs an old integrated version of Java (1.4) and it makes the system calls seeking specific .dll to display, which are not accessible by default if Aero is enabled.

  • Replacing the hard drive T60 - Windows does not recognize the hard drive

    Hello all, new to the community of Lenovo. I have a T60, but also the latest Lenovo Edge. HD crashed on the T60 and it will boot is no longer. I just bought a 500 GB WD without doing a lot of research. When trying to install Windows 7 (I had already updated the T60) it will not recognize the new drive - Windows does not drive at all. Is there a way to get the Lenovo to recognize the WD drive? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Looks like you're doing something wrong, if the drive is a SATA it should work, install it and boot from your windows installation DVD and it will be the installation drive and shaped for you, or you can optionally set the partitions manually when you are prompted to do so. If you try to do something unusual such as transfer windows on the old drive then you will need to explain exactly what you did because I see no reason it should not work. Infact I did it several times myself.

  • When you try to re - install Windows XP, it does not detect the hard drive.

    Hi all. I tired to do a reinstall of Windows XP today. It seems to take a lot of time, and then I did a very stupid thing. I turned off the laptop that I had to go. Now when I try to start the laptop on the cd, I get as far the screen where I have to press on enter to install Windows XP pro on the system or press R to repair. The problem is that there is now no facilities to choose from in the box below and the system is not recognizing the hard drive. I can't even as much as the screen to format the drive. When I press ENTER to install windows xp, then I get a blue screen telling me that the system shuts down to protect my pc. Is anyone able to tell me what to do to solve this problem please. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Noel

    original title: I did a stupid thing... Windows XP Pro

    Sounds like a hard drive problem then. Your drive is maybe defective. First of all, you can use the partition of diagnostic Dell (F12) for its determination.

    In case there is a SATA problem, press F2 to enter the BIOS and change the setting of hard disk SATA to legacy. (Might as well try this first.)

    Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive, although it worked well for more than two years.  Now I can't access it to install new software.

    It will not be displayed in the Device Manager, bad shooters to say it is not connected or is, tried Fixit fix (could not as "not applicable to your computer update"), uninstall iTunes (in the case of a conflict - even if it worked with the DVD of > 1 year), etc., but still cannot access the DVD.

    It's obviously a known issue, given that a support page - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976187 that recommends the fix or manually disable ALPM active power management.  If it of a known issue, why is not included in the updates and that I have to disable ALPM power if management it worked ok before?

  • Windows Search can not index the A: drive

    Do not assign the letter 'A' on a disk partition, because Windows Search does not index the A: drive. I made a Win7 installation on a system with a SSD boot drive and a conventional hard drives.

    I did my data to partition the A: drive and moved my files user for this partition. Windows Search could not find anything on this drive until I assigned a different drive letter to the partition.

    I know that there are very few machines with floppy drive.

    Is always the convention however that readers and B are reserved for floppy drives and will be until there is no more floppy drives on the left.

    If you connect a USB external floppy drive on your machine, it is the reader, NOT the D or E or F or any other letter.

    Therefore, it is not a good plan to designate any partition on a HARD disk as drive A...

  • Windows does not recognize the DVD drive at startup

    The question I have is when I log on Windows 7, the laptop does not recognize the DVD drive. The reader will not be displayed in my computer or Device Manager. I can get around this physically ejecting the disc and reinsert. If I do this drive appears in my computer Windows and Device Manager. It will read DVDs and CDs fine. I am able to reproduce the problem above mentioned question if I restart the laptop. If I restart the laptop the DVD drive won't be recognized and reinsert the drive will get it appears again.

    This problem occurs if I try a DVD - RW drive and an old DVD - ROM drive. If I go into the BIOS before windows, I can see the BIOS recognizing drives ok but not when initially get into Windows without having to eject and inserting the disc.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I guess that this must be a hardware problem then.

    Seems odd.

    The only other thing I can think of, after reinstalling W7, is a BIOS problem eventually. A strange setting it may be an older version of BIOS with a bug in it. If you decide to update the bios, make sure that you get the latest version for your make and model PC and follow the instructions. You can destroy a PC with bad BIOS or update the procedure.

  • Install Windows 8 does not recognize the system drive

    I built a new machine (chart below). Since this is a new machine and not an upgrade, I bought Win 8 Pro 64 bit OEM to do a clean install. The SSD is my system disk that Windows 8 will be installed. Four data drives are mirrored, two for the other two. Construction went perfectly. The BIOS recognizes all six disks: 1 SSD, 4 HDD, 1 DVD.

    Insert and boot the disk of Windows 8. Accept the EULA, enter the product key. Arriving at the page "Where do you want to install Windows?", only four hard disks are listed. The SSD (installation to go) is not found by Win 8. ??? I tried to change ports SATA, cables, power supply - no difference. For each new change of hardware, the BIOS still sees everything. This isn't a hardware problem.

    The question remains: why the installation of Windows 8 does not recognize the SSD drive. All five disks are on AHCI. I'm not in RAID.

    I spoke with crucial technical support of all (manufacturer of the SSD). They were also surprised that the drive does not appear in the list.

    Does anyone have a solution? I spent all the money on hardware, as well as the new version of Windows and I cannot install it.

    This is the real kick in the teeth: Microsoft won't support me. The OEM of Windows 8 version is the same as manufacturers, such as Dell or HP. Support told me I had the support of the manufacturer. HA! I am the manufacturer. Either that or upgrade from an earlier version of Windows. This means that any that a new construction machine will get ZERO assumption of Microsoft. All just great.
