partition on disk hard slave

I installed a hard drive used on my computer (as a slave), but it has a partition of a previous installation of windows. How can I get rid of this partition.

Help, please.

Steve

The ORB-click Start and type "diskmgmt.msc" (without the quotes) in the search box and press ENTER.

When disk management opens, right click on the partition and select 'Delete Volume'.  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/delete-a-hard-disk-partition#1TC=Windows-7

You can then use disk management to create one or more partitions of the unallocated space.  After you create a partition, format it using the file system of your choice (probably NTFS).

  • How to resize partitions of disk on Satellite A300-14V?

    Hello

    A drive in my Toshiba Satellite A300 14V 320 is divided two equal C: and E: volumes. The c: volume contains Vista OS, programs and lots of user data. The E: volume is the folder HDDRecovery contains it is about 4 GB, but when I check the properties of the volume E: I see 30 GB of used space. Could someone explain what is the problem?
    And there's a question related - why I am able to reduce volume E: only for about 12 GB and not able at all to expand the C: volume by Windows tools? Do I have to use commercial software to perform the task or it is easier and cheaper to reinstall the system with a disk-resuscitator?

    Thanks and regards,
    Alexander

    All new Toshiba laptops have this partition structure. On the second partition you have folder named HDDRecovery that contains the recovery image. This image will be used if you want to install HARD drive recovery facility - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

    On the second partition, you can also save all your important data. This second partition is not reserved for the recovery image only. Very important, it is follow:
    # When you want to install the OS by using restore DVD disc the whole HARD disk will be formatted and all data will be gone.
    # When you use second partition of disk HARD recovery option will not be changed. This means that all data stored on the second partition will be there even if you have installed the operating system again.

    It is therefore recommended that you save all important data, music, movies, photos, or different documents on the second partition. If you want to use this HARD drive recovery option in the future please do not change the partition structure. When something is changed, it can happen that you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery.

    If you care about second partition and if you created recovery DVD discs, you can with the partitions all you want.

    If you have any other questions please let me know.

  • How to use a partition on a hard disk internal to the file history

    I try to use a partition on my hard drive for the file history. When I open the history file it says "no usable disk found. I allocated about 50 GB of the partition. The size of partition of the problem or do not like the internal disks for the windows backup? If the disk is too small if you please could you recommend a minimum size and if windows does not like the internal drives for backup could you please tell me how to solve this problem.

    Note:    I know it's a bad habit to save on the hard drive, the same that your files are on, but the point of this backup is not file security, more so I can go back to older versions of files such as windows 7 versions. I have an external hard drive dedicated with full backups, but it does not gives me the opportunity to return to an older version of a file at any time as the historical file is that I'm not wearing my backup drive wherever I go.

    Thanks in advance

    Try to make a file on your partition named FileHistory.  .   Right-click and select Properties.   Share it.

  • How to make Vista partition on the HARD drive as first with recovery CD

    Hello

    I want to format and retrieve information from my 'Vista' (C: / /) partition, which is the first. But when I choose the option "Format and recover to a first partition on your hard disk (without RE) ' the computer began to recover in" Type of Partition: windows NT NTFS (ID: 07) "whose size is only 1.50 GB.

    In the middle of the process, it shows not 'enough space on a disk.

    Question: How to make a 'vista' first partition? What is 'the first partition' in the second formatting option and recover the system?
    Thank you for your answers

    Hello

    Sorry, but you will not be able to do. I know it's a bad situation but if you use the first option that the whole HARD disk will be formatted and C new partition created. Second option, that you can not use at all. I tested it with my Satellite A100.

    I called Toshiba and they said that Toshiba work on new recovery options and new notebooks will have the best recovery option. Something like old installation expert ghost mode.

    I know it's wrong, but unfortunately there is nothing to do.

  • Tecra A8-104: how to create a second partition on the HARD drive

    Hello.

    I had to use the recovery disk, and I deleted by mistake my (two) initials of the partitions on the HARD drive. : ((now, I have only one.

    Can someone tell me how I can fix this?
    I want 2 partitions, not one. x 10

    The Toshiba Recovery CD could create two partitions.
    The installer will ask where or how install the OS on the HARD drive.

    For example, the HARD disk supports 100GB. So you can choose the first 60 GB for installing the OS and the difference (40 GB) could be activated after the installation of the OS.

    This can be done in the management of the computer-> disk management.

  • I want to make three partitions of disk on the Satellite A200 - 1 GB

    Hi all

    Last night I noticed that there is a small sound comes out when the hard drive is being read. The its same as the desktop sound disk hard drive. In desktop HARD drive is normal.

    I thought that laptop HDD looks not that she even has the same hard disks of office technology.

    Is this also normal thing?

    The other thing is I thought to divide my second partition (drive D) into two partitions, because I can then have three separate partitions.
    If I using disk management it will give any question?

    In the desktop, I did a lot of operations on disk with Win XP, but I have no experience on mobile phones. is there a difference between desktops and laptops running Windows XP Home edition?

    I hope I can divide my second (93 GB) partition in two 45-GB & 45 GB.
    Someone can give some idea about it and is any body have done this surgery?

    S of my laptop HARD drive makes a sound strong and 2 years it worked ok.
    I presume that it s no big deal due to the fact that the A200 is not an old series and the HARD drive is new.

    > The other thing is I thought to divide my second partition (drive D) into two partitions, because I can then have three separate partitions. If I using disk management it will give any question?

    No everything should work. But I think that XP OS is not able to create a HARD disk partition. You will need to use a 3rd party as if by magic the 8 Partitions for example program.

    > Desktop computer, I did a lot of operations on disk with Win XP, but I have no experience on mobile phones. Is there a difference between desktops and laptops running Windows XP Home edition?
    Feel free to create a partition.

    > I hope to divide my second (93 GB) partition in two 45-GB & 45 GB.
    > Can anyone give some idea about this and any body have doing this operation?
    Use the magic of Partitions 8

  • Equium L350 - 11 d - how do I delete the second partition on the HARD drive

    How can I delete the second partition that came with the laptop, so I can use the full capacity of computers HARD drive?

    I feel that this partition is their because I have not created a DVD of recovery he would remove the partition once I created the recovery DVDs.

    The score contains a folder of HARD disk RECOVERY and in the folder says do not delete or change this folder or files.

    I have a Toshiba Equium L350 - 11 d

    As you have already said that the second partition contains the HDD Recovery folder if you would remove this partition you will not be able to create the recovery DVD and would not be able to recover the laptop HARD drive.

    Therefore, you must create the DVD before recovery would remove anything from the second partition on the HARD drive.

    After you create the DVD recovery successfully, you could remove the partition and could add the free space on the HARD disk on the first partition.
    This can be done on disk management!

  • Can not format or partition the drive HARD on Satellite M30

    I have a Toshiba Satellite model No. PSM30E
    And the system is unable to access the HARD disk.
    When I check the Bios setup it can detect the HARD drive.

    When I run windows setup to boot from the CD he sees the HARD disk with the correct size, but it cannot create partitions on it or if it can format the HARD drive. I tried the HARD disk partitioning using another system and I was able to partition and format. But when I plug in the laptop he sees just the whole HARD disk in unpartitioned space and also does not format them or partitioning it.

    Y at - it shaped a locking mechanism that prevents access to the disk partitioning or setting?
    My other question is, perhaps, the problem of the IDE connector?

    Any suggestions or help?

    Hello

    I don t think there is something wrong with the IDE controller. Fact is that the BIOS do not show simple partitions but only whole HARD disk size.
    I put t know how you tried to format the HARD disk or to create partitions on this disk HARD but in fact different OS uses the standards of different format and this may the reason for your problems!

    I think you should try to boot from the original Windows XP CD. Let's launch the setup and format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions!
    I noticed that Toshiba recovery CD couldn t runs correctly on wrong formatted HDD!
