• Utility disk partition problem

  Problems using the disk utility to change a Partition. My external hard drive is only 1 TB and divided into 3 partitions as shown below. Because more space is needed for the active partition, SuperDuper, thought that I propose 20 additional GB in it from an inactive partition - the 'old' which is gray below G5.

  

  But when I open the disk utility and selected "Old LaCie G5", the Partition tab was greyed (although before I had restarted). So thought I would go first aid on "Old LaCie G5" but I illustrated window, the rotation for a while beach ball, zipper then as indicated.

  Well, I need a new, more large drive hard, but was hoping to fix things in this way until I get one. Is this possible? And what to do about first aid/old G5?

  Please advise...

  Are what you started in recovery or recover Internet to make these changes?

• Resizing disk partitions.

  I removed two unused partitions on my hard drive. Now I have C:\, D:\ (original image) and 2 spaces of the same size as the partitions that I deleted. One is not entitled 'allocated' and the other 'free '. I would like to combine the two in a partition with the combined size of the 2 I have deleted, but when I try to create a new partition of one of them, their size is limited by the size of the old partitions. Is it possible to combine the non allocated and free spaces in a new larger partition? Thank you. ... Jim

  Tom...

  Thanks for your comments. I am able to create a (E:\) partition out of unallocated space, but can't locate 'disk management' to try to resize to take advantage of the free space. How do you get the drive management? I use Vista 64 Home Premium.

• Hard disk partitioning: problems with Windows 7

  I bought a new laptop with a disk drive. So I decided to partition my hard drive to use part of it as a return to the top. However, during the process of return my computer off and when I tried to put it on my Windows 7 operating system will not turn on. I guess that some of the OS files have been corrupted, some how damaged or moved. So, how can I solve this problem and get Windows running again?

  Thanks for your help!

• Windows 7 Home Basic disk partition problem

  Hey.I have a problem while creating the partition.i right click on unallocated memory... you click on new simple volume... I finished installing successfully... in the last step in the configuration... when I clicked FINISH... the next dialogue box appeared...

  DISK MANAGEMENT
  The operation you selected will convert the selected basic disks and dynamic disks. If you convert the dynamic disks, you will not be able to start the operating systems from any volume on the disks (except the current boot volume). Are you sure you want to continue?
  YES                                                          NO
  That's the problem... why this dialog box appeared?... What can I do?... I want to do a partition of disk without error... I'm not a professional... Please anyone suggest a way to overcome this problem.
                                                                               Thank you very much.
  
  
  MY EMAIL: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  You can have a maximum of 4 primary partitions. If you already have 4 of these windows will convert your drive on a dynamic volume that is NOT recommended. To resolve this issue, you must convert one of your primary partition in an extended partition. The extended partition can have many more logical drives. Windows Disk Manager is unable to do this without losing the data, but the third-party programs such as Acronis Disk Director can.

• EL Capitan - impossible to resize the partition in disk utility

  I'm having a problem with resizing the partition of my drive (background: I have 2 partitions, 350g for mac and 150g for bootcamp) I want to resize the mac one in order to free up space.

  in normal startup, disk utility tells me target disk is too small. startup recovery, he says 'successful' but nothing happens.

  any tips?

  See this topic Support of Apple

  Disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk

  'Expand volume '.

  If you have several volumes on a device, and one of them is running out of space, you will be able to expand without losing the files it contains.

  To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after him on the device, and then move the end point of the volume you want to enlarge in the freed space. You cannot expand the last volume on a device. »

• Can't resize external backup Time Machine in the hard disk partition

  I have a Seagate Expansion to drive 3 that I use for storing files as well and Time Machine. Initially when I set up the drive, I allocated 350GB for the partition that I use with Time Machine.

  I use a 256GB MacBook Pro and Time Machine is now advising me constantly backup capsule is short of space. I have 2 questions:

  1. Disk utility does not allow me to resize the partition of Time Machine (I can only reduce the size using resize controls). Also, I can't delete the partition, because the minutes signed is grayed out (see screenshot) - However, I am able to erase this partition. What can I do to resize (and expand) this partition, or delete it and create a larger partition for use with Time Machine?
  2. What is the best size to send to the Time Machine partition in order to keep my Mac saved 256 GB?

  Thanks in advance!

  A drive that is mounted or shared may present as "Busy" that could prevent resizing.

  Try to disassemble the disc (with the assembly/disassembly button in disk utility) and see if it works better. Then mount it again before leaving the disk utility, or do a reboot to mount again.

• How could resize this partition in disk utility? (see image)

  I want to resize the partition selected, but I can't drag it to the bottom.  Any way to resize?

  

  Your screen capture, you must delete the partition OSX 10.9. The space would be free and you can then develop your OS x 10.10 partition or create a new one from the free space. The only one of these two who seem to be able to resize is the OSX 10.9 partition because it has the grab bar (lower-right) and free space further to slide down.

  HP_Tools partition has the Diagnostics

  Recovery partition has the recovery that are accessible with a key F11 to restart Manager.

  System partition is required by the operating system

  C partition contains the operating system and is also where you store everything and run programs.

  If you have created a recovery from USB or disk set with the HP retrieve creator of media already, then you can safely remove the recovery partition. Be aware that you will lose the built in functionality to have the Recovery Manager. F11 won't do anything.

• Impossible to install Bootcamp and partition problem

  Hello guys, I really need your help. I can't install Windows more Bootcamp partition.

  So I read a lot of articles on the problem of the partition but it seems that I can not solve the problem at all and I think my problem is very critical. Here's how things all turned out badly:

  -J' tried to update to OS X version 10.11.5 from the Mac App Store.

  -After restart my Macbook, I got the message error "OS X could not be installed on your computer...". ».

  -J' tried to find a solution and I found this:https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203482

  -J' did what the site Web told me, that I used the disk utility to resize the partition to the Mac (at the time I had Windows 10 Bootcamp on my Mac). So the thing has helped, I was able to update OS X 10.11.5. After that, I had resized the partition of the Mac to its normal size. (I was very careful not to touch anything else like Bootcamp)

  -I went on the web and find all the solutions and I formatted the BOOTCAMP partition and deleted all his data, now my Bootcamp Assistant said: "the startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.".

  Now I can't find any way to install back my Windows on the partition, I read on the internet that OS X sees that the GPT partition Windows considers MRB. Here are a few photos can help:

  

  My Macbook HDD has 3 parts: Macintosh HD (use for OS X), Bootcamp (used for the installation of Windows) and DATA (use to store large data)

  Hi Jason Dang,.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. What a great way to try to get this problem resolved on your own! The best resolution would be to format the drive outside the Bootcamp utility. Your drive must be formatted using the recovery partition. Once you format the drive, you will be able to use the wizard Boot Camp re partition and re install Windows. Please try the link below and select "erase a disc and reinstall OS X.

  Restore your Mac to factory settings should get your Windows successfully installed.

  Have a great day.

• Can not resize the partition on the Satellite A100-998

  Hello
  I am owner of toshiba satellite A100-998 with 200 GB hard drive. By default there is only 1 partition on the HARD drive when I try to resize this partition and create another 8 partition magic shows me error that it cannot write to the boot sector and it fails. I didn't install any software on this computer and it has the latest version of the bios.

  Ranish partition Manager displays the same error.
  I don't know what the problem is because I've done similar operations on multiple computers with all the problems.

  Thanks in advance for any suggestions

  Hello

  I also use the magic of 8 Partitions for creating and management of simple partitions on the HARD disk.
  But I wonder about the size of your HARD drive. As I know the Partitions Magic 8 does not support 200 GB HARD drive. I didn t to test but the partitions on the manufacturing site manual says it does not support.

  However, sometimes, I had similar problems with my 80 GB HARD drive. The simple solution was to defragment single partitions.

  I put t know if it will help you because of you HARD drive size, but you can try it.

• In Win7 1 TB HARD disk partitioning

  
  Hello

  I just bought a SAMSUNG laptop with 1 TB hard drive, and the operating system is Win 7 HomePremium.

  The hard drive contains a partition C with 907 GB of space, including 860 GB of it is free. In addition, a recovery partition which is 23,57 Go.

  When I try to do the partition from free space on the C drive, the disk management program shows me:

  Total size before shrink in MB: 929630

  Size of space available in MB reduction: 458183

  which means that half of my hard drive can be partitioned, although many more space is free.

  Could you please tell me what is the problem and how to solve it.

  Thanks in advance

  Try to use a third party program to partition the drive:

• Startup BOOTCAMP partition problems

  Hi, I've seen a few posts that are very similar to mine, but I can't seem to get to the bottom of this issue. Here's the background on what happened:

  I ran El Capitan on a single OS X partition and decided to run Boot Camp Assistant and install Windows 10 on a new partition. It worked perfectly, and I have been using Windows and start back. So, I decided that I would create a new partition for easy sharing files between the 2 BONES using a Fat-32 file system so that the two operating systems can have read/write access. I did it with the disk sideways utility Mac and everything seemed to go smoothly. Also, I don't touch my BOOTCAMP partition, but took all the space for the new partition on the side Mac. Everything seemed fine... until I tried to start again under BOOTCAMP. Now this partition is not recognized as bootable, but it is accessible from the side Mac and everything seems intact.

  I ran the command diskutil list and here is the result:

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 500,3 disk0

  My theory was that because the BOOTCAMP partition moved from 4 to 5, this confused sort of things. I decided that I loved not more to have the shared partition, so I erased it. Then I tried to delete this partition, but I am unable to do by using normal mode or recovery disk utility. I tried to disassemble and then delete in both modes. I scoured the internet looking for a solution and I am completely stuck. This seems like it should be a super simple solution, but it is frustrating that I can't understand it. I don't think that I've damaged or corrupted something and I just need to be able to start in Bootcamp.

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance!

  Still have not solved this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

• Satellite Pro A210 1AZ Disk Partitions

  Hello

  Hope someone can explain to me. We have two Satellite Pro A210 1AZ identical machines, Windows Vista Home, 120 GB of disk. They have two partitions on the disk in the computer. C: Vista is 56.2 GB and data E: is 54.0 GB. I guess there are other accounts hidden for the missing 10 GB partition and I guess that is the recovery partition.

  My problem is the following. Everything written in C:, programs, Documents etc., and it is more or less complete. The E: is not used. Why is there an E: partition? Why not a single 110GB C:?

  I know that I can copy files on the E: partition but trying I find annoying. My wife doesn't understand anything on the partitions, folders and files and just wants everything to be where you expect it to be - in Documents or photos. Seems reasonable.

  What can I do to get rid of the E: thing and have just a large C:?

  NB - I have no interest is messing around with the PC, I want to just use it and forget about it.

  Thank you

  Fred

  Hello Fred

  I don't know how much experience you have with the PC, but it is usual to divide the hard driver to two or more partitions. each partition can have a different name and you can save specific data on the specific partition.

  For example, I have three partitions:
  C for the operating system
  Private D for stuff like photos, movies and mp3 files and
  E for Business stuff

  Anyway, if you want to have a (the ability of the entire HARD disk) partition, you can delete second partition and expand the C partition to use any HARD drive capacity.
  Open Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management.

  In the left pane, under storage category, click on disk management
  Now select and right mouse button click on the partition that you want to change.
  In the context menu, you will see options to extend, reduce or remove the partition. Select the option you want.
  If your 2nd partition is empty, you can remove the 2nd partition, and then expand the 1st partition to use the freed up space.

  So to learn more about the bits and bytes please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT7301UY001JR01.htm

  Bye and good luck!

• NB300 disk partition: I can allocate more space to (c) and less (d :)

  I can reduce the volume (D :) thus creating an unallocated volume, but could not increase volume (c) of the latter.
  Is this all just impossible or would I need to use a special tool?
  In which case I can not allocate more space to (c), can I use the empty space to (d) of my own files?

  Hello

  You can resize the partitions with Paragon partition manager, but you need to know if resize the C partition, the hard disk (F8 on starup) image recovery utility, will not be available. And 1 point, you must back up all files before partitioning, because sometimes it can be wrong and you cannot start Windows.
