Problem with 'size of available shrink space' when you try to partition disk

I spent a good amount of time trying to partition my drive hard so that I can start in Windows Vista and XP, but I am still unable to do so. My ultimate goal is to improve the transition from Vista to Windows 7 (with the upgrade disk), while being able to boot Windows XP.

I have a 320 HDD with 170 GB free. There currently have Vista Business 64 - bit installed on it. Initially the shrink size was only 280 MB. I read online that I would need to defragment that I did.

I tried to defrag the hard drive with Perfect Disk 10 and Disk Defragmenter Vista several times. However, the only amount that was released, totaled at least 1 GB.

I tried shrinking the HDD again, make a separate 984 MB partition. Unfortunately, this is the largest size I amable to get.

In addition, I tried of using DiskPart to shrink, what with the same problems.

Can someone help me please?

Thank you

  • Problem with the sync audio to video when you use Windows Movie Maker version 6.0

    I have a HP Slimline Pavillion S.3220.uk PC, using Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. I have problems with the audio video synchronization when using Windows Movie Maker, version 6.0, I 'get' raw AVCHD files to .wmv using voltaic HD.  I've noticed that the audio and video are out of sync, ONLY after the first thumbnail.  No indirect problem with videos, but when people talk to the camera, in case of DISASTER, as he is out of sync. I tried to reduce the resolution of 720 p and 540 p, and no solution to the problem. Any thoughts on the matter please?

    Hi Fabian119,

    Today, there are hundreds of audio and video codecs in use. Some were created by Microsoft, but the vast majority of codecs have been created by other companies, organizations or individuals. By default, the Windows operating system and the player includes a number of the most popular codecs, such as MP3, Windows Media Audio and Windows Media Video.

    There might be times, however, when you want to read the content that is compressed with a codec that does not include Windows or the default player (for example, a file compressed with the DivX video codec or the Ogg Vorbis audio codec). Because the player is extensible, in many cases you can download the necessary codec on the web for free or for a fee.

    You can visit the following links for more information on codecs:

    You can also view the following link to download the audio file conversion programs and check if you can convert AVCHD to Mpeg.

  • Problem with the evolution of the links when you save the model.

    What I have:
    Establishment of model in the "Templates" folder in the root of the site. In this model, there is such a link "... / pic/tran.jpg", and "... /.. '. "/ pic/tran.jpg.

    When you create the new file based on the current model links the first kind to "pic/tran.jpg" transformations and second - "file:///Y|/home/3dsfera/pic/tran.jpg".

    What I have to do? How to preserve the original links in file created on the basis of the model.

    If the links are correct in the model, based on where the model is
    located, so they'll be correct in the pages of the child, anywhere
    within the site save you. DW will manage these links for you.

    If you see the absolute link 'file' persist after the registration of the child.
    It may be because of one of these.

    1 DW think that you linked to a page outside the local root
    folder, or
    2 DW think you have saved this page outside of the local root folder

    Did you one of the people?

  • Did someone met with trouble with gel CC first 2014.2 when you try to import? No window opens again.

    What he says in the subject really

    Sometimes, it works as it is supposed, sometimes it just freezes, and when you click on the window of the program I hear a winows: 'PLING', not the error, just the sound signal.

    I have seen this time, but during the process of exporting rather than importing.  PP called a window of dialogue Windows, but for some reason Windows is not open this window, and PP will not let you do anything until this window is closed.  But since its opening ever, you cannot close it.  The only thing you can do is to close PP by using the Task Manager and lose all the work that has not been saved.

    I reinstalled Windows recently, and it has not happened since.

  • When you try to partition my hard drive, we get an error "parameter" unknown or invalid

    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. I read online and loaded "Help and Support" and followed the instructions without success.

    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.

    Recent crashes of some multimedia content (this includes the Youtube videos, some flash games and other applications), in collaboration with Firefox 14 are probably caused by a recent update of Flash 11.3 and/or Real Player browser plugin to malfunction.

  • problems with the XML that is returned when you call a web service with CF11

    Hi, I ran into an unusual behavior when calling web services.

    I call a web service that returns an XML like this:

    < children >

    < child >

    John < firstname > < / name >

    DOE < name > < / lastname >

    < / child >

    < / children >

    during the call to the web service of CF10, it works fine. However, when the CF11, I don't get this:

    < child >

    John < firstname > < / name >

    DOE < name > < / lastname >

    < / child >


    no < child >? for some reason, CF11 ignores / hides the highest level XML. This does not happen on previous versions. Why? the server that hosts the web service's CF11 too.

    Report it as a bug in Coldfusion. In any case, I recommend making sure your web service returns a string, not an XML object.

    This is because a web service must be universal. Appellants to .NET, Java, PHP, ASP and so on, will interpret a chain exactly the same way. Whereas an object XML Coldfusion is a construction that is heard only in CFML.

    Your return string should also start with the XML declaration, like this

    John

    DOE

    So it is clear to the appellant in which brought the cat.

  • Omen 870-040na w3d62eahabu: message of disk space when you try to upload pictures in the pictures folder

    I have a new HP Omen 870-040na produces no w3d62eahabu and tries to use it to download my portable hard disk images in the images folder.  However, I get an error message saying there is not enough space for the images that I copy.   I'm not an expert in computers, but believed that this computer has 2 TB of storage.  So why do I get a message like this?

    Hey!

    Thanks for getting back to me. I totally understand! The purchase of new products, get to know them, their customization and juggling with them can be a lot of fun, but sometimes it can be frustrating.

    It seems that the folder C: / drive has been defined for much smaller files. Without being able to physically see, I guess that your operating system, Recovery Manager and other system files are stored on your drive 256 GB or C: / drive.

    I suggest you use the 2 TB D: / drive to put all your photos and personal on such files that it is bigger and who may be appointed for you . Although it seems confusing, it is really a good thing!

    I want to provide you with your OMEN of PC desktop HP - manuals and Guides for the use of 870-040na. This way if you want to learn more about your product, the option is there for you.

    I hope this helps!
