Problem with hard drive 3 TB and the need to delete the system partition reserved

I am running Windows 7, 64-bit version.  have another hard disk of 500 GB and I bought a 3 TB hard drive and installed windows 7 on it (3 TB) fine.  But to finish install and found 3 TB hard drive showed only 2 TB of usable disk space.  does a job at home and found that before 2011, the bios of the motherboard can only support HD up to 2 TB, and in order to use all 3 to, I need to convert to GPT disk.  To do this, I need to remove the volume, but since I installed windows 7 more early, he created a score 'system reserved', I can't delete or edit, or format.  All boards to complete this (converted to GPT disk) so I can use all 3 TB of HD?   Now, I re installed windows 7 on my other drive.

Any advice on how to convert to GPT disk without deleting the system reserved partition?

Thank you all... Finally figure it out.  Just in case where any who need it going forward... and

That's what I did

Step 1.  start by using the windows installation disc 7, press SHIFT + F10 when the language pop up page, use the diskpart... command to remove the system reserved partition. and turn off the computer.

Step 2.  Open the computer case and unplug the 3 TB hd of the motherboard by unplug the SATA her cable.

Step 3.  Re-install windows 7, turn off the computer when done

Step 4.  re - connect the 3 TB - DD and closed the case and power on the computer

Step 5.  Disk management can use GPT disk.

A lot of work, but finally did.

    The only method I can think of requires imaging tools such as Acronis True Image (costs money). It allows to copy the recovery on the new disk partition. Maybe you can then use the appropriate keyboard key (such as published on the HP site) to start a process of restoration of the factory.

Process has failed and I got the blue screen error msg and a useless piece of plastic. I had to buy a set of recovery disks (reluctanlty at a cost of £51 - yes I know stupid me). I tried to reinstall from the disc, but I suck. I have acer cntacted and they have now tell me that I have to first download and install and disk formatting tool. I am confused now totally frustrated and quietly seething. I need help, I'm outta my depth here. Can anyone provide assistance as to what HD formatting of tool to download - what should I do with it to finally lift the laptop and run again? Your help is greatly appreciated!

    If you recovery media standard windows options, you can try to select "repair my computer" - Troubleshooting - Advanced Search - command prompt
    Once in the command prompt type

    then, type diskpart

    If you do not have this option:

    Download the .iso file
    then use a software to burn CD/DVD or USB flash drive and burn the .iso file
    Once completed, put the CD/DVD/USB on your PC, boot from CD/USB (maybe you need to start under the legacy if you have the UEFI BIOS)
    Press F12 on startup and choose the CD or USB

    Right-click on the icon for your HARD drive and choose completely erase your HARD drive (it will erase any GPT or MBR at the disk), choose the first option after selecting the clear function.

    However after turn off and turn on again, I was faced with a black screen and a message saying: an operating system not found.

    Assuming that the hard drive is damaged it is simply

    b replace the hard drive with a new and
    (b) install a new operating system. ?

  • Re: Satellite a660 - problem with HARD drive!

    Hello!

    When I turned on my computer this morning, first time I heard the HARD drive worked very noisy. It was like buzzing and clicking, has never been like that. Computer is 3 months old, bought in the pc world.

    If anyone can help what to do?

    Thank you

    Hello

    > he was like a buzzing and clicking on... Was never like that. Computer 3 months ago.

    Sometimes, this can happen with the new hard drive too. I recommend you save all data, if it stops working. In case you, I communicate with the service center and ask them to replace. they will do it for free. you see, it looks like mechanical problem and don't think you can fix it yourself

    Hi Konyga,

    If you already have a warning on the internal HARD disk before Windows starts I would recommend sharing it and backup all data as quickly as possible.

    Is your laptop still under warranty?
    If Yes, you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider. It would be free because it s covered by the warranty. All you have to do is contact with an ASP.

  • problems with hard drive HP envy m6 - 1222sr

    HP ENVY m6 - 1222sr Notebook PC (Windows 8.1)

    Bought a laptop with windows by default 8. Everything was fine. But after the upgrade to windows 8.1 have a problem with the hard drive. The simplest tasks cause the startup hard disk 100%. The system starts to slow down. It is interesting that there is no difference in the speed of read/write. 0.1 mb/s or 10 + hard drive still mb/s is charged to 100%. After the defragmentation - nothing has changed. I suspect that blame the upgrade to Windows 8.1. How to solve the problem?

    PS Sorry for the bad English.

    Everything was much easier than I thought. At first reinstalled Windows and drivers, but it did not help. The problem disappeared after disabling user account Windows and switching to a local account. After 4 days of torment is a feeling that the laptop is running 10 times faster. I hope that this all ends.

  • UCS C22 M3 software RAID LSI problem with hard drive

    Hello

    I post here because I searched many hours for a stupid problem.

    I have a Cisco UCS C22 M3 with soft RAID LSI MagicRAID.
    I have two hard disk of 1 TB.
    I create a RAID array with the type 1 (mirror).

    When I run the installation of VMware ESXi 5.1 U1 I see the RAID array, but the two discs.
    I think that it is a driver problem.
    So, I install special with an iso VMware in the VMware Web site for Cisco server.
    I have test with ESXi 5.0 and 5.1, and 5.1 U1 but it's the same problem.

    I try to remove the RAID array and to install esx on disc one monkey. Installation works well, but in the boot menu, I can't boot from a hard disk. I don't know why I search with UEFI and she is disabled.

    I test with windows 2012, and 2008R2 to check if its working but in install I don't see also hard drive or the RAID array.
    I go to Cisco and download the driver of the 2G for VMware Linux and Windows.
    I try inserting the driver in windows install, but does not.
    I think that the driver for a hardware RAID card and software.

    I have try to disable the LSI RAID in the advanced bios "SouthBridge". After I disabled I don't know how I can do to start on the hard drive.
    When I go to the start menu (F6) I see absolutely nothing in drive.

    I test this on two Cisco server.

    I can't know what I can do now. I take a working installation tomorrow and nothing.

    I join you a photo of the boot sequence LSI.

    Thank you very much.

    Stephane,

    For what I understand, you use the RAID controller integrated, therefore, these drivers will not work you:

    -LSI 92xx

    -LSI 106xE

    -LSI 2008 M

    -INS 3081E-R

    -LSI8708EM2

    -LSI 9201< all="" of="" the="" above="" are="" not="" the="" controller="" you="">

    -CISO 1225 x< this="" is="" for="" the="" vic="">

    -CISCO P81E< this="" is="" for="" the="" 1st="" generation="" of="" vic="" cards,="" so="" definitely="" not="" a="" raid="">

    Pilots are organized into top level by operating system folders, and each folder of OS has a structured series hierarchically who become more specific subfolders so that you can find the exact drivers you need. When you navigate to a folder containing the drivers, it will contain also one or several README files that explains what are these drivers in particular.

    Here is an example of the structure of folder for Windows:

    Windows    ChipSet       vendor          blade-model-number             OS-version-number                All                ia64                Lang (contains language subfolders)                Vista                x64

    You need to look for: /< OS > / storage/Intel/C600 /.< if="" you="" are ="" doing="" the="" installation="" of="" the="" os="" through="" the="" kvm,="" you="" first="" need="" to="" un-mount="" the="" os="" .iso="" image="" to="" mount="" the="" drivers,="" once="" the="" drivers="" are="" done,="" un-mount="" the="" drivers="" and="" mount="" again="" the="" os="" .iso="">

    If it does not, you better open a TAC case that will allow us to put in place an additional troubleshooting Webex meeting.

  • Windows problem with hard drive changed from IDE to SATA connection.

    After a full rebuild (new MB, CPU, graphics and RAM) and install the new copy of Windows 7 Home, everything is great, until I try to connect an additional internal HDD. The boot and then crashes to the windows logo. Additional HARD drive is SATA, but it has already been used on an IDE connection.

    The bios recognizes the drive, but obviously, there's some kind of conflict in Windows (I think the reader can contain a backup of the previous generation system).

    System;

    MB ASUS M5A97 R2.0

    CPU AMD FX6

    Gskill 8 GB of RAM.

    Any ideas on how to fix the problem please?

    Thanks, Chris

    Usually means a player has failed/problematic

    You say sata drive but used on a connector IDE does that mean you are using a cable converter, because the type of interface is completely different, or do you just mean the parameter for the connection of the bios?
