Repartitioning my hard disk in the installation process of Windows 8?

I'm about to upgrade my Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 8 Pro. However, I want to expand my C drive by allocating more storage space for it. Can I do the distribution during the installation procedure? How?

Its best you re-partition the drive now using Easeus:

So, the first thing you need to do is to download Easeus at the following link

EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Manager-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html

------------------------

Proceed with the installation of Easeus:

Click Next, follow the easy on-screen instructions.

Once the installation is finished, click on finish

Click go to the main screen

Select the drive you want to resize in partition window

Drag the button until you have an amount of disk space you need, then release desired.

Click on apply to apply the changes that you just made.

Click Yes

Click Yes

Your computer will restart several times and changes will be made to the layout of the partition, this process is hands-free, so no interaction is required.

  • Installation of Java program gives an "access denied" message during the installation process on Windows 7

    Tried to do just the update for Java Update 7-67 on my existing Java at first when I received this message, then uninstalled, hoping that would help, but now can't install at all.  Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

    This seems to be a very rare problem because it's the only mention of it that I could find on the site to Support MS & no mention on the website of Oracle or anywhere else. This and the fact that you have to go back to a restore point to fix gives me to think that it is an interaction with another thing that has been installed on the same PC. What AV software do you use? Did you install anything else since the restore point?

  • Reformat the hard disk of the P105-S6114

    I need to reformat the hard drive to my PC by Satellite. I inserted the disc 1, off, turned back on while pressing F12. I chose 'clear the hard disk', and this part of the process went well. It took about 1.5 hours. However, he never asked the other disk. All I get now when I turn it on is a black screen with the letter 'j' in the upper left.

    Can you tell me what to do now to re - install the default software/settings of recovery disks?

    Thank you!

    Jin

    If I understand correctly, you want to reinstall the OS with a recovery disk... In the Bios, set under the 1st boot device cd/dvdrom. Then, insert the diskette and reboot the laptop, according to the instructions on the screen that should start the installation process...
    > It took about 1.5 hours. However, he never asked the other disk. All I get now when I turn it on is a black screen with the letter 'j' in the upper left.

    To be honest, I do not know what that letter, j, means :) BU I know, the 1st recovery disk contains bones with driver and another disc with Toshiba Utilities. Perhaps, you should go to Bios and set hdd under the 1st boot device rather id cd/dvdrom

    original title: installation of Windows 7

    Hey Joe,

    I suggest that you visit the gigabyte website for your region (and/or the site global http://www.gigabyte.com/?f=g ) and check your motherboard for compatibility with Windows 7.

    The problem you are experiencing would imply that Windows 7 has no native driver support for your disk controller, so if Gigabyte don't have drivers that you are locked unless you buy a discreet disk controller that is compatible Windows 7.

    Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

    On the other hand, you have this posted in a forum of Windows XP when it is really a problem of Windows 7.

  • Can I switch from MX7 to CF 9 new hard disk using the MX7 serial numbers

    Hi all

    I want to install the version upgrade to coldfusion 9 on a new server / hard disk, using the serial number of MX7, that has been uninstalled.

    Is this possible?  Potential complications?

    I can't disable MX7 because this no longer exists.

    Mike

    Yes, when you enter the CF9 license, the installer will say 'it of a license upgrade, please provide the original of his licence' and give you another form to your CF7 license.  If she likes these two licenses, you're good to go.

    Thanks in advance for your advice

    Concerning

    You can do it. No problem at all. Hard drives are not specific model of laptop parts and with hard drives is important compatibility.
    On the new laptop, which you can use different hard drives. Important is that use you compatible HARD drive.

    Just do it. After Exchange of HARD drive install Os again and everything will be OK.

  • Put HP1012 in place. The installation process does not recognize the printer.

    I've made sure the device is on and the usb cable is connected.  Printer worked fine until I needed to reinstall the windows xp operating system.  Now reinstall the printer set up the software does not recognize the printer.  Before reinstalling the operating system, the printer worked great even if it is quite old.  I use the original CD game in the installation process.

    Problem solved.  I plugged the printer into different usb port cable and the computer immediately recognized the printer.  Previously, I had ports different usb, but not the one where he worked.  I have 7 usb ports on this computer, and it seems that one does not work.

  • To install the device driver required to access your hard drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files, then click OK."

    I'm trying to move from xp to windows 7. I spent all the requirement but she says to install the device driver required to access your hard drive, insert the installation media containing the driver files and then click OK. "what should I do? Where can I find the driver?

    Guess he would seek software/drivers for the chipset MB

    & sata/IDE controller software. Get the MB hardware specifications, go to the mfg

    Web site & download the software and drivers. If intel, download the chipset installation

    utility & install it 1. The other would be the SATA or / and drivers for the MB IDE

    controllers, 'Matrix Storage console' would be the one, also chk for desktop

    Internet downloads, amd, and other brand materials would be substantially the same.

    In Windows 7, you can get a lot of details by selecting Start, all programs, accessories, System Tools, system information, components, storage disks. It was very similar to Windows XP, but for all information users tend to use Everest or Belarc Advisor for additional information not available. Everest has been best Bellarc advice but they ceased to offer tan updated free version. However, the 2.20 version is always available from third-party sites.

    What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

    RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
    Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
    no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
    companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
    because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
    more seamlessly.

    Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
    what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
    original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
    your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
    attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
    also have a solid plan of external backup in place.
