Removal of Extended Partition

• Extended Partition resizing

  My basic disk is divided into a single primary partition (c) "OS", system partition) and an extended partition (containing two logical disks, (d :)) 'programs' and (e :)) "Data files").)) Unfortunately, when I made this several years ago, 20 GB looked like plenty of space for the system/OS partition. Now, however, despite my efforts to keep everything except the elements specific to the BONES out of that partition, I'm out of space (c). (C) is less than 1 GB of free space, and I'm on tips to create a new 'space' (e.g., removal of Temp and uninstall files, reducing the size of the trash, disable Hibernation, movement of Page file, etc.). And when I created the extended partition, I used the maximum available space, so there is no unallocated space available, I can add to (c). So my question is, how I resize (reduce) the extended partition (which is entirely occupied by (d) and (e), each of them has to enough free space) in order to free unallocated space that I can then add to my partition system (C :)? A screenshot of my situation from the MMC disk management snap-in is displayed here. Thanks in advance for any help.

  A parameter that might be useless by default is that for temporary internet
  files, especially if you keep no copies on the disk offline. The

  The default allocation for the basket is 10% of the disk. Implement
  5%, which should be sufficient. In Windows Explorer, move the cursor
  on your Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and
  Move the slider from 10% to 5%. However, try to avoid leaving to
  too full as if it is full and you delete a file by mistake, it will be

  If your drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with
  your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows directory of
  your C partition you'll have some uninstall files in your windows
  folder in general: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$
  etc. These files can be compressed or not compressed. If compressed

  compressed, you can compress them. Right-click on each file and

  contents to save disk space. On the general tab, you can see the amount
  acquired by deducting the size on disk size. Folder

• extended partition

  I have windows vista and recently made and an extended partition then re-installed windows.  Is it possible to return before installing new ones?  I tried the system restore, but it does not show an earlier date.

  The Windows.old folder has two objectives:
  (1) can be used to uninstall Windows and your PC back to the previous version of Windows.
  (2) contains a backup of all your files of data, documents, photos, Etc. from the previous version of Windows.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/933168

  Note: Option to change Windows Explorer to see the Windows.old folder:
  Click on start and enter in the box "Search": "hidden" (without the quotes)
  Click on the "Show the hidden files and folders" option at the top of the list.
  In the "Folder Options" window
  Click the 'view' if it is not already selected.
  In the list "Advanced settings" locate "hidden files and folders".
  Now click 'show files and folders '.
  Then, disable the following:
  "Hide empty drives in the computer folder.
  "Hide the extensions of the file types that you want to know."

• HP_TOOLS partition could be image backup and then restore it on a volume in the extended partition

  I bought the spectra of HP envy and want to install Linux on it. Of course, I want to go for dual boot solution, because I don't want the 'magic' of the compensation to the factory default "f9" gone away. Given numbers partitions on my hard drive had achieved maximum

  -System

  -Drive C

  -Recovery disk

  -HP_TOOLS

  -Hibernate

  I could not create a partition for Linux more so 1 of them should disappear. I chose the HP_TOOLS external storage because I have rite now is a key USB to 4 Gbs. So I want to do the installation with this sequence

  1 / HP_TOOLS to a backup image and store on a USB or C drive.

  2 / remove the HP_TOOLS partition and shrink the C drive down to unallocated space to free up additional space.

  3 / create partition extended of these extra spaces

  3 / use linux installation partition to create swap, / home/root etc. and an another fat32 to restore the HP_TOOLS which places later.

  My question is that... this work?

  I read http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and/Okay-to-modify-the-HP-TOOLS-partition/m-...

  and inspired by the idea of ctsshxm.

  It would not be the solution, then the only option that remains for me is to get out of the HP recovery on a 16Gbs USB partition. Questions will happen if I do this? The resumption of "f9" still works and how could it be?

  Hello

  any modification made to the MBR will be f9 recovery to stop working. Please create windows recovery media (using hp Recovery Manager) so that you have the possibility of recovery machine to the State factory at any time thereafter.

  also, copy of partition HP_Tools is of no use, because if you do not have the partition and quickweb is used, no use to have a copy with you.

  Instead, you can create the partition whenever you want and re - install the quickweb application to make it work again.

  It will be useful.

• convert a primary partition in extended partition

  Hello
  I created a partition on my pc windows 7 (d) for data storage, but I discovered that it is defined as a primary partition, and not an extended partition. This gives problems with acronis backup.
  How can I convert to an extended partition?

  I thought to...
  1 copy the files from d: to somewhere else temporarily (no program, only the data)
  2 delete the partition.
  3 increase in the size of the c: partition to cover the entire drive again (using the partition of windows 7)
  4. create partition d: again, taking care to specify 'expanded' this time (using the windows partition 7)

  Who is?
  Is there an easier way?
  Tom

  Windows partition tool (diskmgmt.msc) does not come with all the tools that are easy to manage your disks, but I think steps below should be the way all about working your needs: the following steps is also more of: "how to create D (logical partition) disc in Windows 7."
  You have to log in with the Admin account that ot must run under programs as an administrator.
   
  1. backup your data from your drive hard if you need to.
  2 type diskmgmt.msc in start-> run. And press return to open the windows disk management tool.
  3. click right on "C:" drive and select Shrink Volume ", wait for the application to calculated the new size and click"Shrink"." You have now added "unallocated space" after C: you can use. (advice to fragment your drive first to get more additional free space).
  4. now if you create the new Volume (or Partition) with all the unallocated space, and is not the 4th Partition and then by default it will be "Primary Partition". So to get around with to
  Keep creating small (I would 1 GB) Partitions up to what you do that 4th. "The 4th will default the ' Extended Partition (or you can say logical Partition). Be sure to allocate all the space remaining in the 4th.
  5 delete these partitions of 1 GB that you created previously and you can expand "C:" or "D:" drive to use the free space created by removing these Partitions of 1 GB.
  6. so as a result, you should have 2 Partition:
  C: Primary Partition.
  D: extended logical Partition.

  I hope this helps.

• Manager Windows 8.1 and the HP recovery disk manager cannot remove the recovery partition

  I have the following computer: HP ENVY h8 desktop PC - 1437c.  I used the HP Recovery application to do a recovery on a flash drive disk. When you have finished this operation it was not an option to remove the recovery partition (drive D on my computer. I tried to reopen the HP Recovery Manager and try to remove it like that, but to remove it is greyed out. I also tried to delete it using the 8.1 windows Disk Manager, but there is no way to do there either. If I right click on the recovery Partition, I get only an option 'help '. How can I get rid of this partition and recover lost space using it now on my hard drive. Windows and HP did not want to provide more records with their computers, but they do not have a problem of screwing of MY hard drive that I bought and paid for. I should start to charge rent for the space.

  I just used the software and created another partition as drive D using all unallocated space. I can delete probably once again, or maybe I'll just use it as a storage device for my files instead of recovering files sofetware... Thanks for the help

• Can I shrink a logical drive and not the extended partition to a bare metal restore to a smaller drive?

  The current configuration is a Dell T310 with a S300 controller, with all locations 4 hot filled with SAS drives.  The operating system is SBS 2008 (2008 Server/Vista), I intend to change the controller of S300 (software) controller, a controller (hardware) H700.  My concern is that the H700 brings readers a little smaller in size.

  The typical arrangement of Dell's diagnosis, followed by a recovery partition partition (E :), followed by the system partition (C :), followed by a partition with a logical volume (d).  If I use Diskpart to shrink the D: 'partition', he let me with free space, not allocated.  Thus, it effectively reduces the logical drive, and the extended partition stays the same size as it was, with no way to reduce it.

  The question is, if I shrink the logical D: drive and not the extended partition and then get backups of the system, I'll be able to a bare metal restore on the smallest virtual disk of the H700?

  That's what I did:
  -Released the S300 controller and 4, 450 GB, 15 000 rpm Cheetah RAID-5
  -Replace the controller H700 and 2, 2 TB 7200 RPM in RAID-1 Constellations

  Results:
  -Eliminates the possibility of falling on a disk space issue when restoring
  -Increased the amount of available disk space.
  M ' left with 2 free hard drive for future expansion bays.

• I can create "logical drives", but do not have an "extended partition" - listen to me?

  Hello

  It's a no-brainer and I know not often asked the question, but I have not found a satisfactory answer. I use Acronis Disk Director 11 and have never had to worry about "extended partitions. I simply create "logical drives" when I reached the limit on the number of "primary partitions" on my drive. And yet everywhere you look, I find that I need to create the first "extended partition", which is defined as "an extended partition is a container that can contain one or more logical drives." It is the universal definition as every definition I've found the same bed. It's as if everyone uses this definition even without really explaining what an "extended partition" really is. All have made a leap of faith that that's all that needs to be said on the subject, even if not where is it explained what is this "container" and how it is created. Acronis made a reference to an "extended partition" in his glossary (if I remember) and leaves the matter as if it served no more utility. Someone explain to me how this "container" is created and why is it necessary I can create "logical drives" without ever invited to create an "extended partition."?

  I can't wait to finally put this issue to rest,

  Thank you

  In the past, creating another partition, the other then primary school, said to the user that an extended partition has been created and then immediately in the process of user intervention to create logical drives in the breast of the space newly allocated.  Logical drives ARE essentially the "extended partition" up to a maximum of three in the extended partition on an MBR disk, and this is the limit of three in car that was important to know.

  In some ways, the information given at the time was better because it gave the user a more understanding of the functioning of the system. Nowadays, the vast majority of computer users are not experts and do not know how it works. They just want turn on and go... :-)

• Manually create a disk logic/extended partition

• How to remove the USB partition?

  I have a 8 GB drive that I use for my photo frame digital flash. I deleted all the photos and reloaded the latest and once I put the USB in the photos only old framework that I thought I had deleted appears.

  I then discovered that the USB has a partition that contained the older photos. I deleted these but the USB will only display photos in the only sector that has very little space. How do I delete the partition or have the photo frame to recognize the other much larger partition?

  Please help if you can.

  It is easy enough to remove it. Right click on the USB key and choose Format. Everything will be formatted :)

• Hard drive recovery or support removes all other partitions?

  If I create an extra partition on my HP Pavilion hard drive and use a drive letter F: to store data and then use the partition recovery or media to restore to factory settings, my data secure or the recovery procedure to format the entire hard drive?  Thank you

  Depends on what version of HP Recovery Manager, you have installed. On some newer models, there are different options in Recovery_Ssytem recovery, reduced, Image Recovery Factory Reset. If your recovery manager has no additional options, then Yes, it will remove all of the partitions added. Better to use the external USB hard drive for important files.

  It is a description of the different features available in the Recovery Manager.It is available mainly on new laptops, but I've seen some reports of it on desktop computers. My most recent HP desktop computer didn't.

• Remove the recovery Partition

  Hi, this is my first post, I write because I have experienced a problem with a HP ultra-livre.

  I just bought a HP Folio 13. I burned the DVD with data recovery (using the "Create recovery media" button in the HP Recovery Manager) and I would like to delete the recovery of data stored in the secondary partition (as they occupy almost all of it) by the button "Delete the recovery Partition" in also HP Recovery Manager. What worries me is if I remove the recovery of data stored in the partition of my computer, (whenever I need them) can I restore from the DVD I burned? can you assure me that it will work, or there might be no problem doing this?  If not, what is the sense to display a button named "Delete the recovery Partition"?

  Looking forward to your kind response,

  Thank you very much

  Hello:

  In theory, the recovery discs that you do should work.

  In reality, this is not always the case.

  Please read these tales of woe on the link below (there are 324 pages of discussions) and decide for yourself what you want to do, because nobody would be able to make no assurance that your recovery disks will work.

• HP Pavilion x 360-13-s100nv: remove the recovery partitions

  Here the contents of disk management.

  Can I remove the two recovery partitions, since I'm not going to use this feature?

  (I have a full system image created with the tool Windows 10, registered in an external hard drive).

  geotso

  Yes, you can delete the partitions of recovery and reclaim the space.

  As for aid in the recovery of Win10, my opinion is that the integrated backup/restore solutions are unreliable, so I don't trust them.

  Instead, I have long relied on a third party solution known as Macrium reflect (MR).

  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  I use all the time and it usually takes less than 10 minutes to make the backup of the image and at the same time or less do a restore.  In addition, MR has the ability to add a recovery Boot Menu entry.  This then allows you to boot into Windows re, and then you can use it to do a restore - when you cannot start Windows!
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck
