partitioning windows 8.1

Hello, I just took delivery of a HP touchsmart pc 15-n230sa notebook laptop, and did the battle and managed to put in place after a struggle, it comes with a hardrive 1 TB that works under windows system 8.1 the op, I am writing to ask does anyone know if I can divide this drive or not? as Im not sure I have several hp pc desktop computers have more than just one or two partitions and I always confused with all the different types of partition there, IE primary, logical, simple I never know what what, I know obviously primary is key, I have managedto partition, first check most of my pcs opk but before I try anything Id thought Id , Ive nade crecovery discs ok, Ive also made an image of the system before I even put it online on a disk of all the configs to be sure current partition, I just want to know if I can have a partition to keep my disparate media of the os that I have in my other hp desktop that has only a normal c and IE 2 thanks to leave disk d

You can create another partition for your media if you wish. Your new laptop has more partitions than you think. It is partitioned as a GPT disk, instead of disk MBR of old school, there are special partitions on the hard disk. There is no limitation of four primary partition in TPG.

Use the disk management snap-in and you'll see what I mean.

Follow the instructions on the paper web from HP to create a new partition.

    Original title: cannot start Windows XP

    Hi there everyone,

    The other day I uninstalled a few items that were cluttering up my old Dell Inspiron 6000 (Norton, Nero, etc.).
    When I restarted the computer, it brings me to a screen that provides options
    -Safe Mode
    -Safe Mode w / command prompt

    -Start Windows normally
    No matter which I choose, the computer crashes.
    If I take all the options mode without failure of the text appears below in regards to the multi discs rdisk partition\windows... and then a few .dll, .nls and .sys files.
    I tried to boot from a backup disk, but does not (I changed the BIOS settings to boot from the disc), but it always brings me to the command prompt and nothing works from there. I wonder if the startup disk is funked up? I have XP on a desktop home computer so maybe I should do another startup disc and try again?
    I tried to work my way through some of the KB articles on the site (via the command prompt sys restore failed).
    I hope I've provided enough information and I would be very grateful of any help.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  • Windows 7 - partition windows on a new drive... travel startup gives nothing but the black screen and blinking cursor

    I am replacing a hard drive and move a partition Windows 7 from one disk to another.  The original partition of Windows 7 starts and works perfectly, but when I clone to the new drive, I have a terrible problem getting the new boot drive.

    On the original drive, the partition is the partition 3, on the new disk partition is partition 2.

    Both drives have the same size of cylinder.

    The new partition was created as a partition main with the same dimensions as the other and cloned in the whole content of the partition.  The files are all there in the new partition.

    He is currently not starting correctly, it starts the partition, but then he's here - I don't see Windows Welcome screen or anything - just immediately inadmissible black screen with a blinking cursor.  All I can do is reboot.  By pressing F8 at startup does nothing.

    Start of support for windows 7 and running repair features discovered the new partition as C: and CHKDSK C: points and gives a good report of the partition.

    BIOS settings have been lacking.

    The following commands were executed the repair windows 7 installation media feature:

    Of http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749177 (v = ws.10) .aspx

    BOOTSECT/NT60 C:

    And http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/927392

    BOOTREC /FIXMBR

    BOOTREC /FIXBOOT

    C:
    BOOT CD
    BCD ATTRIB S H R
    REN C:\BOOT\BCD BCD. OLD
    BOOTREC /REBUILDBCD

    The new partition was made active and is the only asset.

    If I erase and freshly installed Windows 7 on the partition, it does not start successfully, but if I then replace the contents of the partition with a clone of the other partition of work, it does not work.

    So that leaves me with a pretty good confidence that the problem has nothing to do with the charger starting and everything related to the content of the partition itself.

    I can't find more useful information for the boot partition.

    Any ideas?

    Moving Windows is not the best method.

    It is better to 'image' or 'clone' Windows to the new drive, using software such as Acronis

    True Imageor AOEMI Partition Wizard (free). I've used both (has a free version of Western Digital

    Acronis to use if you have WD hard drives).

    .Acronis.com/en-au/Personal/PC-Backup

    .disk-partition.com/Free-Partition-Manager

    (EDIT: I need to be careful.) Had redundant stuff here...;). )

    Dual-boot can be difficult in the best of times, but two partitions on a HARD drive...

    I don't think that you can select a particular partition in the BIOS to be your first boot option, only

    from the HARD disk, so it would be a blow to the top.

    See if there's useful information below-

  • Bootcamp partition Windows will not start since WinUpdate

    I'm working on a MacMini (mid 2011) on which a bootcamp partition has been installed. I had to work on windows update etc...

    So I did update from our wsus server, and then restart Windows, windows no longer starts. There was a line of white underscore flashing on a black screen.

    I tried to see if the Mac partition (10.7) was able to start. It has been altered too, but I was able to reinstall it.

    __

    on windows, I followed these instructions: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4936761?tstart=0

    To do this, I created a USB bootable key WIN10 (regardless of the Version of the OS in this case), I started on it to access the repair menu. Here, I opened the CMD and had results of the thesis:

    
    x:\sources>cd c:\ 
    
    x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /Fixmbr 
    
    Operation succeed 
    
    x:\sources>Bootrec.exe /FixBoot

    Number of windows installation identified : 1 Add the installation to boot list ? : O 
    
    Asked System Device not found. 
    

    I assumed it was due to drivers for windows compatibility. (something like record of $ $WinPEDriver), but no idea how to put them on my bootcamp partition, previously never worked with bootcamp.

    I should also mention, I tried a classic Windows repair, he told me that my windows partition has been locked. I assumed it was a problem of version of bootcamp. I've updated everything on my mac partition, but he found no update for bootcamp. Right now I'm preparing a bootable usb key with both 'iso' and 'windows compatibility modules' activated with bootcamp assistant.

    I don't know when it happens, but now, when I try to boot on my bootcamp partition, there are only blackscreen (not slider more). But also, my screen flashes as if he finally gets the signal just before the black screen.

    I need your help for:

    -Fixed problem starting Windows partition, OR...

    -Give me a way to get the activation key for the license of the installed windows (without starting it (if it exists)), so I can reinstall it correctly.

  • Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

    Hi all

    Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

    Here are the specs:

    1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

    2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

    Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

    Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

    I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Maybe you can explain a little better.

    I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

    It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

    For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

    Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

    I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

    Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.

  • Not enough space on disk for the Partition: Windows Bootcamp

    When I go to download the support software and partition it, he will get after downloading the Windows Support software, then to halfway in partition the drive, it will say "disk does not of enough space to be partitioned. (PS) The "BOOTCAMP" image will appear on the desktop until it says the message and then will disappear and the message will occur.

  • Cloned Partition Windows not start (Winclone)

    Hello

    I spent last night couple with this problem and just can't fix. I need Windows on my 2008 iMac, but I replaced the optical drive with an SSD, so I can't install it via the original DVD. Installation via the USB does not work either because it does not support the 2008 iMac. So, I used Winclone to clone the Windows Partition of my Macbook Pro and restored on my iMac. But it does not start. At boot on the Windows partition, I get the famous black screen with the blinking cursor.

    I read that you can make this partition bootable by selecting "Allow Legacy bootable" of Winclone. I can't do that because Winclone always says that SIP should be disabled. I've disabled (State of csrutil in the Terminal says it is disabled), so I do not understand why Winclone won't do.

    Does anyone knows how to solve this problem with Winclone? Or do I have to use another way to make it bootable?

    Thank you

    Have you run SysPrep on Windows of MBP installation before trying to restore? What is the year of the MBP? What version of OS X makes the installation Windows come and what version of Mac OS X is being restored to?

  • GUID of the Partitions, Windows 8.1 & El Capitan

    Hello

    I have a mid-2011 MBP 17 "El Capitan 10.11.3 running. I have a 1 to SSHD I partitioned in 850 GB OSX Extended and 150 GB NTFS for Windows 8.1 installation. I used to partition this drive, as my BC does not seem to give me other options than to download the software updates (...?). I used MBA 2013 my girlfriend to create a USB bootable Windows 8.1. When I start my MBP with alt / option, I select my drive EFI. I go through the installation of Windows 8.1 and reached a point where I have to select a different drive to install Windows on my internal SSHD. I can't select a partition as it is said that these partitions are MBR and I need them to be TPG to install Windows. However, when I boot into OS X, readers say that they are in fact GUID partition tables, and I don't have an option to change them.

    I read a few different solutions including disabling SIP, but I am a little hesitant, as I am not aware of exactly what this does.

    Can someone help me install my version of Windows 8.1 on internal partition, while maintaining my OSX on the SSHD so partition?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Uninstall and reinstall the Bootcamp files in the partition Windows 10?

    Lonely T had a suggestion regarding a previous post, but I had already looked at the post, he suggests consulting, with no luck.  No further response.  So I try another tack before coming back to Win 7.

    I upgraded partition Win 7 Ultimate to win 10 Pro 10 days and installed drivers 8.1 on Macbook Pro 17 "early 2011."  Apple does not support Windows 10 on these machines, although many noted that they have been able to install it using 8.1 drivers - as I did.  Everything works in win 10 EXCEPT:

    1. by logging into my account, sometimes, the computer crashes because it loads the thumbnail of the bootcamp Control Panel, which gives a BAD_POOL_HEADER BlueScreen, after what win 10 restarts.  It is possible, of course, that the problem lies in fact in the attempt to load another program.  However:

    2. when the loading of the miniature of Bootcamp not breaks down the computer, trying to get access to the control panel often crash to give up - again - the BAD_POOL_HEADER blue, followed by an automatic restart screen.

    All drivers are 'best machine', etc.  Memory - 16 GB - is fine and has no problem under Win 7 or OS X 10.11.3.

    Version of Bootcamp 3.0, which is what has worked with Win 7, although there are newer versions.

    I guess this isn't a common problem.  Any suggestions on what can be done before I abandon Win 10 and return to Win 7?  I am even willing to uninstall Bootcamp in the Win 10 score and try to load it using the automatic installation of 8.1, but not heard about someone who has tried this and had success with it.  (I love 10 and am tired of being told in Win 7 that I should update to Win10.  "But I don't want to waste time with nuisance Bootcamp crashes at 10).

    The Intel GPU drivers seem to cause a lot of grief on Mac before 2012, when executing W10.

    1. can you check if the Windows installation is EFI (use msinfo32 and look at the Mode of BIOS).

    2 W7 is usually installed using old BIOS/MBR on Mac 2011. The hardware exposed through the layer of CSM-BIOS is not the same as that exposed through EFI. For example, the layer CSM cache the Intel GPU integrated. You can check what cards you currently have in the Device Manager? Please also check devices hidden using view-> the box show hidden devices.

    3 W7/W8.1 drivers are not different from the BC driver packages 5.x series.

    4 W10 has a more rigorous application of the drivers and does not load the unsigned drivers that have been allowed in W7/W8.1 5.x series.

    5. the W8.1/W10 BC6 drivers series is necessary.

    6. you need not install drivers BC6 and he just use generic Windows drivers, but some of your specific Apple hardware does not work the same OS X and W10 using this approach.

    7. most of the users have installed individual pilots as a solution, in some cases using administrator rights and compatibility mode.

    8 event Viewer would be the best place to search for the driver that caused the exception.

    9 automatic update of Windows seems to be broken in W10. It installs drivers that are appropriate for your hardware, but these accidents cause drivers, reboot, BSOD, etc..

  • Partition Windows 10 does not start after you have created the new internal drive

    I'm running OS X 10.11.2.

    I have set up a training camp 10 Windows on my Macbook Pro sometime ago, but today I realized that I need more storage. I watched how do so online and came across this thread:How to resize my bootcamp partition without deleting chtol. I followed the instructions, but could not know how do I find my Windows partition.

    So I think that I have the problem described here: repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition. I did what Christopher Murphy described on the first page and this error message appeared when I pressed "w ":

    "Failed to open device ' / dev/disk0 ' for writing! Errno is 1! Writing of abandonment! »

    I deleted from the extra without internal hard drive name in the hope that he'll fix it, but it didn't.

    I would like to enlarge my Windows partition, but at this point, as long as I can access my Windows Bootcamp partition, that would be great!

    EDIT: I unfortunately do not back to the time Machine.

    Resizing Windows partitions is not officially supported by Apple - Boot Camp: resize the Windows partition .

    I've been Googling since yesterday and trying to apply solutions out there my problems without success (a part of it because I am not a computer savvy and do not know if their problems are the same as mine), but here are some things I've tried:

    01 unplug the stroke, including the external enclosure which houses 4 external drive and my computer screen.

    02 reset the SMC

    03 reset NVRAM

    Any help and guidance on where should I go to solve this mystery is greatly appreciated!
