resize C drive

My dell PC came with two partion. C drive and d drive C drive with 40 GB and rest in the disk and D recovery partion.

I want to increase D drive space of C drive to superior level and taking availble.

Using the tool vista partion, I shrunk the drive D, but lecteurC extend option is gray.

How can I increase the space C drive?

You can't do it this way.

Besides the fact that you NEVER touch the recovery drive except to make recovery disks or reinstall Vista, resizing of readers does not work like that.

You can't take a little off-D: and nail it on C:

  • OneKey onekey lack of space, how to resize?

    Hello

    Already, I read several post, but does with a solution.

    Just get a Lenovo G50 - 70A with windows 8.1. First thing to do was to make all updates (more than 1, 3 GB). After that I got all the updates, decide to make a make a backup with Onekey, so that I could restore with the new updates, in case of problems.

    The laptop has 2 drivers (visible), "c:\". "with windows 8 and"d:\ ". "with Lenovo Onekey.

    When I tried, the Onekey, he says that I need 29, 50 GB for backup and only 22, 50 GB (to a 25 GB disc).

    1. How do I resize the disk with OneKey, for to have my backup and have still Onekey working (for what I read, if the player OneKey is resize, OneKey will not work!) I can't believe it's true, do not in any sense.

    2. can I I resize my driver with the SB, without affecting the OneKey? I usually 1 disc with so and another disc with my personal data. Is I need to collect, format, the SO, I won't lose my data.

    Thanks for the help and we hope this topic helps others too.

    Hello

    My problem is solved. And I'm going to say what I did, and what was the result.

    My laptop is the G50-70 has

    OneKey Version 8.0.0.2105

    The windows show only 2 drivers for the SO and Lenovo D: backup C:. However there are other partition but are hidden from Society.

    After all the updates of windows, I begin the OneKey to perform a new backup. The drive for backup D: have a space of 25 GB, when I tried to make the backup here, it says that I don't have enough space (see my message of previews). So I made a backup to an external driver. When the backup finishes, the backup folder have only about 16 GB! So to copy the folder to the backup driver (D.)

    For security reasons, I also did a recovery USB disk as indicated by Solid_Cruver

    Here is the tutorial how to make a recovery USB disk

    After that, I shrink the driver for 375 GB C: and creat a new driver F: with the new space.

    Then start Lenovo and select the recovery option. The letters for the spectacle of drivers are a little different, D: E: drive. (not due to make it smaller and pilots, but system restore see differently). I selected the folder I copied on the D: drive (on the recovery system is E with my new backup.)

    The ER was back without any problem.

    I did this twice! And it worked.

    Note: I have never start OneKey before I made any changes.

    So, after all this, I have:

    -My backup on Lenovo driver for backups

    -A USB key with a recovery system (not tested)

    -A new driver for my personal data

    -The driver of SO shrink

    I hope it helps someone.

  • Using Vmware Converter to increase the size of hard drive

    Hi, I just want to confirm something

    I had a few VM with ESXi 4.  Some are Windows 2003 Server and some Server 2008

    Some of the servers I need to increase hard drive space soon.

    I use Vmware Converter to increase the size of this way, I have my old copy of the VM in case.

    My understanding is that if I use the converter to resize the drive, then Windows will automatically be able to use the space, even the C drive.  So he did not need to use a third part util as Partition magic.

    Is this correct?

    Thank you

    Mike

    Fix.

    But you'll have a new vNIC with a new MAC address.

    So don't forget to set your network configuration after the conversion.

  • Cannot resize disk

    Today, I created a new virtual machine using "Import Windows XP Mode". This has created a machine with a disk of size 127 GB. I moved this virtual machine to another location. Everything works fine.

    BUT... then I tried to resize the drive using 'Virtual Machine Settings' > select hard drive > "Utilities" > "expand...". »

    This gives the following error:

    "The called function cannot perform partial channels. Please open the virtual disk parent. »

    Looked for clues of what he must do next, but did not find anything useful (in my opinion). Subjects were not associated with VMWare Player or referred to in the questions with snapshots, but I believe that I don't have any snapshot. So after hours searching the web, I ran out of options.

    Does anyone know what I should do next?

    Well, I had some time to install Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 and then using VMware Player chosen import VM from Microsoft Windows XP Mode and it has created the Virtual Machine from Windows XP Mode VMware and first without running the image below shows the default files created during this process.

    "As I previously well that the 'Windows XP Mode.vmdk" VHD is linked to the virtual hard disk "Windows XP Mode base.vhd" as evidenced by the information contained in the disc DescriptorFile built into the Windows XP Mode.vmdk ' of the virtual hard disk as shown below.

    # Disk DescriptorFile
    version=1
    CID=37ee0fdc
    parentCID=00000000
    createType="monolithicSparse"
    parentFileNameHint="C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode\Windows XP Mode base.vhd"
    # Extent description
    RW 266338304 SPARSE "Windows XP Mode.vmdk"
    
    # The Disk Data Base
    #DDB
    
    ddb.encoding = "windows-1252"
    

    This means that, unless you resize the virtual hard disk "Windows XP Mode base.vhd" first before using the command import Windows XP Mode in VMware Player, then you won't be able to have a larger hard under VMware Player as the "Windows XP Mode.vmdk" virtual hard disk is for all purposes useful just a disk snapshot and under normal circumstances a virtual hard disk with the snapshots can be expanded through normal default methods.

  • Extend a logical drive to a virtual server

    Hello

    Can anyone tell how to develop my c: drive logical virtual servers as im currently out of disk space?

    Currently, this server is running on ESX 3.0.1 VC 2.5 and when the Vsever has been creating, he gave only 6 GB of disk space, because now we are in a situation whereby it is full.

    I'm able to increase logical dives for virtual servers run on ESXi 3.5, but not on my ESX 3.0.1 hosts

    The thoughts and thanks in advance.

    Shut down the virtual computer.

    SSH to your ESX host and go to the folder where the virtual machine resides (e.g. cd /vmfs/volumes/LUNX/.vmdk

    This will increase the file for a total of 30 GB hard.

    then start the virtual machine on CD-ROM with partition magic, paragon partition manager or a similar tool and resize the drive c from there.

    Another method to extend the c drive which also works can be found here:

  • Expand or move the virtual machine to another partition / hard disk

    I tried to expand my 90 GB disk but nothing changes, i.e. the virtual machine is still to 60 GB. I have VMware Fusion 6 (Mac/Windows 10) and my VM is monolithic mode. In this true HD, I even 50 GB free and I can't increase the amount again in an attempt to rectify this problem and I can not to decrease either. I thought to change the location of the virtual machine to another partition/hd with more space, but I don't know how. So I need little help to choose and implements one of the solutions below:

    It's help me;

    Resize a Windows Partition with disk management tool

    When you maximize your virtual hard disk, you must also expand partition of your guest operating system to take advantage of the extra space.

    Fusion resizes the partition of the guest operating system when you resize the virtual hard disk. If you hold the Option key when you click apply to resize the drive, you can manually resize the Windows partition. For Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista you can use the operating system's disk management tool to resize a partition.

    Prerequisites

    Check that your virtual hard disk is large enough to accept the increase in the size of the partition. See resize a hard disk.

    Procedure

    1 right click on computer and select Manage.

    2. double-click on storage.

    3 double-click disk management.

    4 in the list, right click on the partition to expand and select Extend the Volume.

    5 follow the prompts to resize the partition and click complete and the question of the partition in the disk management pane displays its new size.

    6. close the computer management window

  • Recovery 1 vm rather than test them all in a file system?

    I have 3 files called fs1, fs2 and fs3 systems.  On each file system, there is a good assortment of protected virtual machine, like 11-20 of the VM.

    I need to resize the drive on one of our customers of windows server vm, and we did it all the time without problem.  But now that we have different without on our site of DR vs main site, we went to vsphere replication because it was independent of the storage.  Now we get the dreaded message that resizing disks are not based on replicated discs.  I can't believe that the system is not enough intelegent for this!  Looks like a simple clip to be able to resize a disk to give it more storage space.


    So now this virtual machine is on filesystem fs1.  I have to do a restore of test, which means I have to wait for 13 VM here to perform a final synchronization to come online on the website of DR when all I have to do is raise this one machine so I can clone, and then tear down the test session.

    I'm going by this document:

    VMware KB: Resize virtual machine disk files that are protected by the replication of vSphere

    In SRM when I go to Protection groups I can't just right click on the machine unique for a computer to test.  Its all or nothing.  Anyway this redesign?

    I think I've figured this out.

    I can remove the protection for this a machine in the fs1 protection group.  Delete the virtual machine for this protection group.  Create a new protection group and just put this virtual machine in it.  Then create a recovery plan and just put this protection in there group.  Then test this recovery plan.

    A lot of work around when the easiest thing would be for VMWare just to allow you to resize a disk and replicate this change on the network.

    When I can back up the virtual machine to the original protection group and basically to undo all changes.

  • Can not resize the partition to external hard drive

    I have a LaCie D2 Quadra 1 TB external drive that I used occasionally since 2009. Way back when I partitioned into two parts, the two put in place under Mac OS X extended (journaled). I put one in 867 ~ GB and the smallest to 133 ~ GB. The smallest one I use for a bootable backup.

    I want to increase the size of the bootable part. DiskUtility looks that would, without erasing any data. But even once I selected for the largest part smallen (without going into the blue "in use" section) I can't always increase the size of the bootable. The grabber resizer indicator seems pointless because it won't pull up. (It's in the lower corner of R).

    I made sure property allows me to read and write on both partitions.

    I will be grateful for a solution.

  • Drive external DRIVE will not mount after resizing in Windows

    Hi all

    I got a 1 TB external drive that I used for a while about 10 Windows and OSX (El Capitan). I had two partitions Configuration for use on every platform without any problems.

    Then, I needed extra space on the Windows partition, so I think that, if I remember correctly, that I've resized using the disk management tool in Windows. I reduced the OSX volume and increased the size of the Windows volume. I can probably hear you all shout now.

    Surprise, my volume OSX will now not mount when I run in El Capitan. It does not show in disk utility, and the only way to 'see' it is using diskutil:

  • How to live resize partitions 2 existing partitioned drive?

    I have a 1.5 to - 2 partitioned drive I need to change the size of the partition 2. I need to make a smaller partition 1 and 2 large partition.

    I have place to decrease the partition 1, so that I can increase the partition 2.

    First of all, I reduce the size of partition 1, but am I that reason... until what I click on "Apply" in the bottom right of the disk utility window, that computer still considers that this hard drive is partitioned with the sizes of origin? And so if I simply decrease the size of the score graphically in the interface, then click on partition 2, I see the text: this partition cannot be resized.

    So if I am wrong in this assumption, I must decrease partition 1 and apply. Then I can select partition 2 and increase it with the newly created space in partition 1?

    If she is correct, when I click on apply in the first stage, the newly created space turn into another partition the partition between 1 and 2? And the next step would be to combine this small new partition in the original partition 2? Here are a few screenshots to better explain.

    NOTE: Yes, I know that I need these 2 partitions to backup before applying resizing.

    If I can reduce the size of partition 1, whose interface seems to help, I guess that with the good implementation, I should be able to expand the partition 2.

    I use Lion 10.7.5 on a Mac Pro.

    Thank you

    Steven

    If I can reduce the size of partition 1, whose interface seems to help, I guess that with the good implementation, I should be able to expand the partition 2.

    No, it doesn't work like that.

    You can reduce the size of partition 1, but you will not be able to reclaim that space for the 2nd partition. You need to remove the 2nd partition, and then add it back.

    But beware, your free space currently for your 10.6.8 partition is marginal, in order to reduce the size of this partition does not seem a good idea. You may no longer be able to start from such a unit.

    One of the disadvantages of partitioning is that you can not redistribute their sizes without redoing the readers.

    Overall, you have not enough free space on this drive.
