• 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.

  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 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.

  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.

  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".

  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 '

• Location of the HARD drive on satellite A30

  Can someone tell me please how to access the HARD drive on a laptop satellite A30? I searched everywhere and can not work on how to remove the HARD drive.

  Hi Mitch,

  The hard drive on your A30 is in the optical drive. Turn your laptop over and remove the screw F5. This will allow the scanner to be slid toward the front of the laptop and you will then be able to see the hard disk set with four cross-head'screws (2 on each side). Remove the four screws and push the hard drive toward the front of the laptop to disconnect the connection to the motherboard.

  Kind regards

  Hi Gary,.

  on the new laptops, it's especially easy to remove the drive HARD, but on a Satellite 1730, it is quite difficult! A laptop is very sensitive and built up to complex, so maybe you could damage it something!

• Who is torturing my hard drive? Satellite L300D - 11 M

  Hello
  I bought L300D - 11 M with Vista Home Premium 32 and trying to set it up.
  After he starting with initial 2 GB of RAM, a few times I found it using HD too, I decided to add memory.
  So I put in another 2 GB, it looks like a little faster now, checked perfomance - low index for aero raised from 3.1 to 3.8, others also increased by several points - all about 5 (except game only 3.5 > 3.6). Windows detects 3.5 GB of memory.

  However, there are still HD work even if im not doing anything! I tried different settings of the pagefile, such as: standard, disabled, 512 MB fixed, the value 1024 fixed and its all the same everywhere.

  I think that such form of use of the HD will make it last no more long then warranty period so I intend to work on this PC very much...

  However, most of the work I expect to do is on text editing and web browsing, and I can't believe that 3.5 GB of RAM is not enough to run the computer without touching the disk hard drive without interruption, at least in the mode of paging file off it shouldn't be bothering HD!

  So I want to know what process/windows done HD service are constantly working and if it is possible to disable.

  Not easy yet already installed on the computer, and so little out of autostartup (such as symantec antivirus, toshiba registration etc.).

  Advice please.

  It could be scheduled in Vista, such as Defragmenter jobs.

  Check out this site, they have a lot of useful tools that let see what process does what.

• Windows stops and restarts each time I login, the last thing I did was partition the hard drive

  I upgraded my hard drive because I needed more space.  At first, I put the same settings as the original drive.  C is the primary drive and D is the HP recovery disk.  There is apparently a small partition that windows uses, but does not have a drive letter.  I left all sizes even.  This has left me a large part of the unallocated disk.

  With the help of Partition Master, I created a major score that I use for music, photos, documents, etc.  At the time I did, I got an external hard drive connected.  He was assigned as drive F and I created the new partition as G:.

  Shortly after this, my computer crashed and restarted.  When I log in, it says that windows has recovered from a serious error.  It plugs along for a little while and then did the same thing again and again and again.

  It doesn't gives me a lot of other information that means something to me.  If I click on the Details button for the information it sends to Microsoft if I want to report that it has a bunch of gibberish, but I'm sure that it wants to say something to someone.  I'll try to copy the next time it hangs after as I write this.

  I ejected the disk external and changed the drive letter on my new partition to F.  I can't believe that's going to do something, but I thought that maybe the partitions on the drive must be in order (of course, I'll try anything).

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

• partitioning the hard drive

  OK, so my laptop kept flashing disk space low on C;

  I have windows xp... my brother somehow is the free 52.92 GB

  Hi Tom,

  Before you help out us, we need more information on the issue.

  • Where exactly do you see 52.92 GB free space?
  • It is on the D drive?
  • What is the free space on drive C?

  If you have a free space of 52.92 Go on drive D, you will not be able to add free disk space in Windows XP. However, you try to use the disk Cleanup utility in Windows XP and check if it helps you to create space mode on drive C. access to the link below to perform and learn more about the disk cleanup utility in Windows XP.

• Can't reformat the hard drive on Satellite 1100, OS = XP (Service Pack 2)

  This laptop is about 5 years old and is extremely slow. I saved everything and tried to reformat the drive several times with the product recovery CD but nothing works.

  I'm the procedure as shown on the CD case, i.e.

  1. Insert the #1 disk in the CD-Rom drive
  2 turn on the PC by holding down the 'C' key
  3. follow the instructions that appear on the screen

  When I turn on the PC in the 'C' key with CD in the machine emits a strong constant beep and a cursor appears on the screen. No instructions appear however. As soon as I let go of 'C' the computer starts normally.

  If I do not 'c' pressed without instructions appear on the screen and the computer load XP as usual.

  I thought that maybe I would need to adjust BIOS settings via F2 and F12 as soon as the computer is on but by changing a setting in the 'boot from CD' makes no difference.

  Am I missing something?

  Jim

  Everything you do is just fine. Can you please try to use another bootable CD and see if the same thing happen?

  Maybe there at - there some problem with recovery CD1. Also do stupid test and start it with CD2. Somewhere on this forum I found to report about false labelling CD.

• Wizard BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

  How is it assistant BootCamp 6.0.1 running on El Capitan 10.11.5 installs single partition BootCamp on the disc Fusion consisting of 128 SSD part G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive on an iMac (retina 5K, 27 inches, end of 2014), but not the part of the HARD drive?

  This has two questions:

  1 capacity of SSDS faster for Fusion drive has been reduced. Therefore less effective for the reader of the merger. For example if I need to create a partition of 80G for my windows bootcamp partition, only 48 G will be left in the drive of the merger.

  2. ability of the bootcamp windows partition becomes very limited, cannot be greater than 120 G.

  3. even when I try to fuse out of the drive of fusion in the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD disk, and then run the BootCamp assistant to create the bootcamp partition start from scratch to reinstall El Capitan only on the HARD drive (without drive Fusion), it won't let me do anything, it just shows an error that says something like "a person has created additional partitions on this drive please select. another disc. But there is nothing else to choose.

  Before my (5 K, 27 inches, end of 2014 retina) to El Capitan Yosemite, I was able to use the previous version of the wizard BootCamp 5.x to create the partition, bootcamp on the drive of the merger. And it will be divided in the fuser unit in two and insert the Bootcamp partition (with the size I chose, which can go up to 1 TB) between two partitions of MAC OSX.

  The disk partitions resulting from it, will be the partition MAC OS x on the SSD, the partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #1, partition MAC OS x on the HARD drive partition #3.

  Then there is the BootCamp partition on the HARD drive partition #2.

  Is there a way to get what I need?

  That is what has been described in this notice of two canoes?

  Installation of Windows on a Boot Camp partition on a drive of TB Fusion 3

  n-on-a-3-TB-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/Winclone/support/installing-Windows-on-a-Boot-Camp-partitio

  Thank you.

  After having worked on those weeks, I realized that I need very painfully (by first going back to Yosemite and bootcamp 5 to escape all the limitations of El Capitan and BootCamp 6) I want to share here. Someone at - it other smarter solutions welcome.

  Note these steps and mentioned drivers only work for my version of iMAC, retina 5K late 2014. If you have other material, please search on the web to see which driver will work first. And all of these steps are destructive and assumed that you first take backup. It is only shared for interest only. Readers will have to bear your own risk.

  A. take backup

  1. take a backup completes my iMac Fusion Drive using Time Machine. Then restart with a Yosemite USB installation and select Terminal from the menu on the top bar.

  B. fuse out of the merger in two physical disks drive: SSD + HDD

  1. in the terminal, type the commands in show what the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the disc fusion)

  Cs diskutil list

  2. in the terminal, type commands for the fuse of the fuser unit and separate them to an SSD and a HARD drive.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the drive of the merger. There are many articles in this community on how this could be done,

  diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

  CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

  This should finish within 30 minutes. If you have taken more time, this means that your reader of fusion has been altered somehow.

  I hit this issue too.  To use this command to remove the fusion drive hung up, and I need to do the hard to scramble a few sections of data in the hard disk partition table using the controls to tell the OSX this hard drive is a new without partitions:

  Cat >/dev/random /dev/disk0 (where/dev/disk0 is the SSD)

  and repeat for disk1/dev/disk1 which is the HARD drive in my case).

  This command will not return anything, but expect to press Ctrl-Z to end after 1 minute.

  2 create independent partitions (non-fusionend) for the installation of OSX.

  Borne Terminal output, and select disk utility, in disk utility, select the drive to HARD disk (and not on the partition), you will see the error message and you will be asked if you want to fix the fuser unit, click on ignore. Then wipe the HARD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"HARD drive".

  3. Repeat step 2, and then erase the SSD drive to create a single 'extended OSX journaled"named"SSD ".

  C. install on the HARD disk as drive didier autonomous not fusion.

  1. go to Yosemite install screen and proceed with the installation of a clean copy of Yosemite to the iMAC. then connect you.

  D. use BootCamp Yosemite f5 to install windows.

  1. launch Yosemite bootcamp.

  2. check the two checkboxes for creating the USB drive to install windows 7 or a later version, and to download the windows supports the Apple software.  Do not click on the last box to install or remove windows pie creating real bootcamp partition again.

  3. it may take several hours to complete this function of your internet b/w and also performance of your USB drive.

  4. If you install Windows 7 (like me), then the downloaded drivers will not work for you, this will cause the issue of the device driver appleDSS.sys does not like this driver and others are too recent for windows 7 to use.  Also, your keyboard and mouse may not work even if you try to plug in a USB external keyboard or a mouse. You need to replace the drivers downloaded by others (the Boot Camp 5.1.5769 drivers that I find in this link: Software Support of Boot Camp 5.1.5769.) (Note: this driver is material specific only works for my iMAC model).  Once you have downloaded it, copy the two files in the root directory of the USB installation to replace the original ones. It's specific and material available for download somewhere on the Apple Site.

  -From the Finder, delete the $WinPE$ and the Boot Camp of the FLASH PLAYER files.

  -Expand the old drivers for Boot Camp 5.1.5769 (two records and another file) on your desktop.

  -Copy the $WinPE$ and records of Boot Camp in the FLASH PLAYER.

  5. open Boot Camp Assistant again and only select the third option, install Windows 7.

  It will show you the screen to select what installation disk, select HARD drive.

  Then drag the slide bar to select the size of the Bootcamp partition for windows you want, knowing that there is a restriction for windows installed using training camp on a MAC that the last byte of the BootCamp partition must reside in the first byte of the 2.2 T of each physical hard drive.

  For my case, I need only 500G for bootcamp and leaving behind 1.7 to for my MAC OSX partition immediately after the bootcamp partition and an another 0.8 T MAC OSX partition after him. 1.7 TB and the partition of MAC OS x 0.8 TB well exploited in the meantime bootcamp partition, will be merged into a fusion drive by Bootcamp. Thus, you will end up with total 2.5 TB of disk space in a logical drive - fuser.

  Go to this link for more details on this subject: n-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive http://twocanoes.com/winclone/support/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-partitio

  6. continue the process to partition the hard drive, then it will restart automatically in windows installation mode, install windows.

  7. once the installation is complete, check that windows is functioning correctly.

  E. Si you want to upgrade to windows 10 Windows 7.

  1 if you plan to upgrade to windows 10, you'll find that the windows IE v.8 7 is no longer works and had many problems to load the page.  Then when you try to download the latest version of Internet Explorer, you get an error that you need at least windows 7 SP1 to support the last IE.  Life is too complicated, just download the google Chrome browser, then search for download windows 10 and then run the Microsoft valuation tool to upgrade.

  2 but before upgrade you, unplug all your MAC USB drives, otherwise, you will find that, after having spent an hour downloading the windows 10 software, the upgrade will fail with the error "/ dynamicupdate...» ». It is an inexplicable mistake that no one seems to understand why. There are articles with proven results that the removal of all USB drives before running the windows 10 upgrade tool will correct this problem.

  F. reinstall OSX El Capitan

  Once your target windows system (if windows 7, windows 8 or windows 10) works very well.  You can continue to create again your Fusion drive and reinstall OSX El Capitan.

  1. Insert the install of OSX Yosemite rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

  2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

  3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

  4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

  5. in the terminal, type the command 'diskutil list cs' and you should see nothing to prove that there are no existing fusion drive yet.

  6 type the 'diskutil list' command to list all disks and partitions.

  The SSD has two partitions, the/dev/disk0s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk0s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD around 121 G.

  The HARD drive has two partitions, the/dev/disk1s1 of EFI (209 MB) partition and the other/dev/disk1s2 of OSX partition we created in step B above, called SSD.

  G. delete the logical storage of nucleus on the HARD disk drive and it refuses with the DSS to form a merger with faster performance disc

  1. Insert the install of OSX El Capitan rear USB to the iMAC, and then select Restart Windows, or stop, and then turn the MAC once again.

  2. When you hear the ringing tone, press on and hold down the option key for 10 seconds. Then you release.

  3. on the selection screen, select start Yosemite OSX install drive.

  4. after starting, do not proceed to install OSX El Capitan again. But select Terminal from the menu bar.

  5. in the terminal, type orders for (to show what are the logical volume group ID and the ID of the logical Volume of the logical drive). You should see the logical volume to basic storage group created using two partitions on the hard drive, 1.7 TB and TB 0.8 created when we run the Yosemite Bootcamp to install windows.

  Cs diskutil list

  6. in the terminal, type commands to delete logical drives from basic storage.  Note: All data will be destroyed in the logical drive.

  diskutil cs deleteVolume Logical Volume ID

  CS diskutil remove logical Volume Group ID

  7. tap "diskutil list" command lists all the resulting partitions. You should see that the HARD drive has the following partitions.

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 121,3 disk0

  1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

  2: Apple_HFS GB SSD 121.0 disk0s2

  / dev/disk1 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * 3.0 to disk1

  1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

  2: Apple_HFS 1.7 Untitled TB disk1s2

  3: disk1s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

  4: Microsoft database BOOTCAMP 503.0 GB disk1s4

  5: Apple_HFS 801,4 Untitled GB disk1s5

  8 type the following commands to create the logical volumes group, named "myLVG" (or the name) of fuser using the usable for OSX to the SSD and HDD partitions.

  diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2 disk1s5

  Note: Mark the group id of logical volume shown in the results.

  In my case, I want to book the last partition as standalone partition disk1s5 no-fusionend, so I can use it to raise the back, or format it in FAT32 to allow the exchange of data between the MAC and boot camp.

  So, I do not understand this last partition in the drive of the merger. in my case, the command that I used is: diskutil cs to create "myLVG" disk0s2 disk1s2

  9 create logical volumes named "Macintosh HD" (or you call it) on the logical volume group we just created for the reader of the merger.

  diskutil createvolume logical volume group ID jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%

  10 command "diskutil cs type list" to check the resulting fusion drive created.

  11 exit the terminal, go back to OSX El Capitan install screen and select the name of the fuser unit 'Macintosh HD' proceed to begin the installation of the os x for installation.

  12. There will be a step in the installation ask you if you want to configure as a new computer, or restore from a time machine previous backup. Make your own choices it accordingly.

  13 once OSX El Capitan has been installed and you have finished restoring the data and custom configurations, you can enter the application of preferences to check if you see the icon of the "Startup" disk", and if you choose Startup BootCamp in the next reboot, you should be able to boot up to Windows without pressing and holding the button option when reboot and choose to start windows manually. Also, in windows, you should be able to click on the bootcamp Control Panel and select for a startup to OSX on the next reboot.

  14. one thing to be aware, if you install bootcamp in this way, the boot camp and the GUI utility disk in OSX El Capitan will not be able to adjust your settings. This means, if you need to touch anything or to readjust the size of the partition, you will need to do it again in step A. Alternatively, some how to get started with installing Mac OSX Yosemite USB, then adjust the partitions using similar commands shown in this article or other articles in this community.

  15. yet once please take personal responsibility on damage if you follow the instructions in this article.
