Recovery using HP disks to install 2 hard drives in place of very low partitions on both disks, now what?

HPm9400z crashed and I thought that it is a good time to put in a bigger hard drive.  Installed a 1000 g and 300g original discs.  I used the recovery disks that I sent there for (recovery hard disk does not work) to start a new one.  Install windows on the new drive of 1000g.  Recovery went well, windows vista, it works...  BUT hard drives now only shows 50g and 15g each.  How can I fix it?  I tried to make a bootable DVD to reformat the drive HARD 2 (old school?)  but could not figure out how to do this in Vista.  Any suggestions?  Or should I just get a Mac?

Go to administrative tools-> computer management, and then select on the left disk management. Fully develop the window. You can try the right mouse click on your C drive and you should see a selection of Extend.  You could also a space not formatted in the main window.

    Hello Edtannjr,

    Thank you for your message.  Remember that the operating system itself takes place and many OEM systems contains a recovery partition which can take up to a space as well.

  • HP Envy 15-ae104no: install the HARD drive

    Hello.

    I have a question about the HP Envy 15 - ae104no which is equipped with a 256 Gb SSD m2.

    Before burning I would want to know if it is possible to install a sata 1 TB of disk as a 2nd hard drive in this PC.

    Thanks in advance.

    What about Peter

    @Viper9

    I'm not sure at 100% but with other models of HP, I saw that they did not come with the extra cable or caddy.

    Hard disk hardware kit (not shown, includes support for HDD and screws)

    The hard drive connector cable is available by using the spare part number 812697-001.

    812686 001

    Looks like you need to buy.

  • Install a hard drive

    Original title: Pedro

    Y at - it a problem if I (temporarily) install a hard drive in my PC of capacity equal to one he has (both 1 T). I know that a hard drive with a lower capacity would cause the original HD does not work when the reinstalled (500 MB in an original HD 1 TB).

    Thank you for your advice.

    Pedro

    You can give more details about what you are considering, but--

    "I don't know a hard drive with a lower capacity would cause the original HD does not work when the reinstalled"

    You can install the variable capacity HARD drives and mix the SSD HARD drive. Mixture of capacity should not

    normally cause any HARD disk to stop working.

    -What you need to be careful when you install a HARD drive in the case, is not Exchange not the cable on the

    Windows HARD disk is installed on a different SATA port (what good practice dictates as Port 0)

    If you do not have what you need to rearrange the order in the BIOS Boot section (or change again the cables),

    or the machine can "read" the HARD drive badly and not start Windows (depending on the configuration of the BIOS).

    Examples:

    -J' have a machine with an e-SATA docking station I can pop any HARD drive in.

    I have backup of HDD of 80 GB, 320 GB, 500 GB and 1 TB.

    (This machine has a SSD and 2 TB HDD installed)

    I also use that HDD dock for a 'double' boot Win10 from an another SSD

    (Win7 is installed in the case, then I have to change the BIOS boot option when I change from one OS to the other).

    -My second machine (with an SSD, 500 GB and 1 TB HDD installed) doesn't have the luxury of a

    e SATA dock, so with this one, I use a spare door HARD disc that came with the case and the spare SATA and

    cable to connect temporarily HDD with the stop sign and the HARD disk on the table

    (power off and disconnected so that the implementation).

    This is not a practical method for the weak and not heated, but works well with my old HARD drives.

    For most people, using a HARD "external" drive that comes in its own case with a cable USB or e-SATA

    connection is the best option.

    Do I USE creative cloud as an external hard drive pour update my operating system?

    The main cloud Creative program must be installed on your system's main drive - then you can't have the whole installation on a separate disk.  Applications can be installed on a different disk.

    AppData\Local\Apple Inc\CloudKit\iCloud Photos\MMCS folder uses more 250 GB on my hard drive, I can delete, what is this for? consultation offline? If so I don't need it

    I had the same problem and it has chewed all my disk space. I have a 64-bit Windows 10 - disk 250 gig. I deleted all these files except those with current date and released the 150 gig. Much better to delete these temporary files to risking a crash operating system running out of disk space.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - how to install 2nd HARD drive?

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the workbook loads it is possible to add a 2nd hard drive. So I bought one and when I opened the box of hard drive, I have not found a connector to connect to my hard drive. I think I have to install a SATA connector, but I have not found a way to proceed.

    Thank you

    PS: Excuse me if you find mistakes, I don't speak very well

    Hey,.

    If there is no second SATA connector on the motherboard it s not possible to install 2nd HARD drive because you can t add such a motherboard connector.

    As far as I remember there are other threads on A300 and 2nd drive HARD here in the forum and the point is that all A300 using the same case for laptop, but the mothers are different. So you can have a 2nd HARD drive Bay but not connector.

  • I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

    I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

    Please advise...

    The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

    What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

    Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

    You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

    I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

    For the storage of the files it is fine.

    For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

    And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

    Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.
