I just bought a new HP laptop and in his HARD drive just a disk Local (C). I want to partition HARD drive into two parts C and D. can I do this without formatting my PC. I have windows 7 ultimate on it. have a problem on this way?

Help, please

a big thanks to all the world...

You can use the built in disk management in Windows to do.  Click Start-> Control Panel-> administrative tools-> management-> disk management computer.  Right click on the C: partition and click on reduce the volume.  Then right click on the space unallocated and create the new partition.

Good luck.

    Hey Assem,

    Once you have created a primary partition, it is not possible (for Windows XP) to divide the partition without using third-party software. You can see:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309000 to create a new partition.

  • Can I have - 2 operating system installed and running in two partitions of hard drive to my desktop computer?

    I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit (a copy of the license), preloaded in my office by DELL from 20/02/2007. Before that from July 2002, I was with Windows XP Professional Pack 1 with fireplace (a copy of the license of the version DT. 25 October 2001). Because I have to go to another State for a new job, I gave the IBM Office to my friend. But the CD with operating system Windows XP pack1 is lying idle with me. I want to install the same in another partition of the hard disk to present Desktop DELL. I have partitioned my hard drive in the goal - C:\ and D:\. Now, I want to know, before you proceed further - is my scheme is feasible? The two O.S. will work in two separate partitions with regularly updated? I visited the "historical update file" and I noticed that Windows XP Professional Pack2 and Pack3 has been downloaded one installed in the system. I will give you more time using Windows XP Professional if loaded correctly in D:\ because it is more compatible with my professional needs. I invite suggestions from my learned friends.

    Thanking you in advance,

    SONIA.

    Www.syschat.com you give links to their chat rooms.

    On an XP Pro disk, you need to ask a computer repair workshop all the copies they might have. Microsoft sells more XP

  • Satellite C855-1QC screen is divided into two parts after the mode 'sleep'

    Hi guys,.

    I have the following problem. When I put my C855 1QC Satellite in sleep mode (sometimes also after a reboot). The logo at the beginning, when the system back to the top is fine, but the home screen becomes divided vertically into two parts. Good content is there, but flashes on the display.

    I've found a workaround: I open a session, press Fn + F4 and click on dual screen. A normal screen appears, but does not cover the full size of the actual display. Then I click Fn + F4 and return to the initial display again and all is well. It's really annoying, so any suggestion is welcome. Oh, BTW my OS is 64-bit Wk8.

    Second question relates to the brightness of the screen. I can't find a way how the brightness to adjust automatically according to the ambient light conditions.

    Third and last one relates to the Radeon VGA, config tool at the launch said, there is nothing to configure.

    Thanks for your suggestions,

    Martin

    Hi Martin

    Described display problem is definitely not normal so I would know since when have you noticed it. I put t know what can be the reason for this, but I can't imagine there is a simple trick to fix this, so I recommend you to reinstall the OS using recovery media and test with the factory settings.
    It will be interesting to know if the same thing will happen again and again.
    In general all the drivers are included in the recovery image are tested and I can't imagine display driver may be responsible for this. Try please test with the pos and comments factory settings.
    > I can't find a way how the brightness to adjust automatically according to the ambient light conditions.
    As much as I know something like this is not automatically due to lack of light sensor. The display brightness must be changed manually.

  • Partition on HARD drive disappeared after formatting using the product recovery disc

    My laptop came with a partitioned hard drive C and D drives.

    After formatting my hard drive using the recovery disk of the supplied product with my computer, I don't have any option to partition the HARD drive, only for the 1. 46 GB for some recommended backup, and the remainder became the C drive.
    D drive disappeared. Now, when I put the USB ant in my laptop, it reads as D drive.
    Can you please help, I need to have my hard drive partitioned into C and D drives, and flash memory can be any subsequent letter.

    Hello Richard

    Is it so complicated to tell us which model of laptop you have exactly?
    Anyway, when you use recovery Toshiba you cannot lose score. After using the recovery media, you'll have to factory settings and the structure of the HARD disk will be the same as on the first day.
    Something like that is definitely not possible.

    > I don't have no option to partition the HARD disk
    This option doesn't exist. On some older models of laptops, just an option to set up the first score ability there.
    After the first start, you can go to disk management and activate the second partition. All that s!

    Please tell me what model of laptop have you then I can tell you more about the partitions.

  • How to partition the hard drive

    Hi, anyone knows how to disable partition the hard drive? Getting sick of the transfer of information between C: and E: Paulette

    Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management.

    Do right click on E a remove it. After that, you should be able to enlarge C with right click and choose the option of not. But you'll have to save files on E first, so as not to lose them.

    If this does not work for any reason, you will still be able to use 3rd programs like partition magic. I've used several times and I am very happy with it.

  • How to partition the hard drive in my satellite M40X-189?

    Please can you advise the team?
    I would like to have the operating system and application programs in a partition and the data I've created in another partition.
    Please can I have advice from the team?
    Has anyone partitioned the hard drive on their satellite M40X-189 and what software did you use to do the partitioning?
    Also, I just defragged my hard drive and the card reader can be seen at: http://www.seniorvalues.org/drive%20map.jpg
    I am curious about the above provision given that free space if 52%, but white space does not reflect this and there is a piece of defragmented files and folders around the middle of the big whitespace at the end of the training I was expecting to be adjacent to the last great defragmented file.
    TIA
    Welshmike

    Hello

    I use partition magic to create and manage new partitions. In my opinion it of the best tool if you want to work with partitions.
    I have 2 partitions on my unit. C for OS and D for the 3rd of data and files. In this case if I recover my unit only the first C partition will be formatted.

    Good bye

  • How to partition a hard drive for a B50-70 for Linux? No problem with that?

    Hello

    How to partition a hard drive for a B50-70?

    I want to install Linux and keep Windows 8.1 also.

    This will affect the software factory example: back up hard drive function, OKR?

    Problems partitioning B50 of the 1970s?

    Is it acquisitions have 8.1 Windows on a laptop Lenovo-B50-7?

    What will happen if I got rid of Windows 8.1 operating system?

    Thanks in advance.

    Information on the machine:

    B50-70

    Model name: 20384

    Windows 8.1

    I've not seen / heard of successful use of the flash drive for recovery purposes. The default software using optical disk, when I used it on my G580.

    If your laptop does not have a CD / DVD burner, you may need to contact them directly to discuss this option.

    As to where he is? It is a hidden partition on the hard drive, is usually not accessible.

    Cloning the hard drive can not return to that partition hidden - it would be a little bit the clone of the drive to work.

    I recommend to download your manual of maintenance on the Support site and learn more about the 100% specific for your laptop recovery process.

  • Is it possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition?

    Partitioning of a Windows 7 computer

    On a laptop Windows 7 HP, it is possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition? I know I can run Win7 XP mode, but many prefer a base XP environment. Yes, I have new copies unregistered XP and Office 2003.

    TIA,

    Steve

    Besides Partition Master you can also use Windows 7 "Disk Managment" to shrink the partition of Windows 7, create a new partition of the space "unallocated", and then do a formatting NTFS "Full".

    I want to partition my hard drive of 200 GB to create a 30 GB partition to run Ubuntu. My OS is Windows XP Media Center Edition with Service Pack 3.

    Your question is not quite clear to me. Your reader should all unallocated space? Normally readers aren't.

    Fear that there be any question of this as "unallocated" means, is the space that is not in any partition. It is * not * unused space in a partition.

    If you don't have unallocated space, you will need a third party program to create another partition.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    40GBs is the minimum; who will be vey quickly useless.

    Recovery partition would have been photographed by the manufacturer of the computer hard disk and you can't replicate that.

    You can use all of the hard disk space available to install Vista on.

    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.
