Satellite L755-154: waste of space of HARD drive due to the second partition

Hello

I bought this laptop so far everything goes well.
However, there seems to be 2 partitions on it, the first is the C: drive that is around 300 GB, but the 2nd partition D: which is again about 300 GB, which has only the recovery drive?

This seems to be a waste of hard drive space, because I bought it because it had a good-sized hard drive.
Now, my question is that I have to make a record of this partition recovery, and then re - format both drives and install everything from scratch?

Also, the recovery disc has all the drivers for all components of the laptop, as well as Windows 7?
As I bought this form Amazon no windows disk or recovery disk was provided, only the windows 7 serial number.

Thank you

> Now, my question is what I need to do a recovery from that partition, then re disc - format both drives and install everything from scratch?

In General, you should always create a recovery disk.
If you have created a recovery disc then this disk will help you set the laptop back to factory settings. This means that all the HARD disk should be formatted and would once again create all partitions. This means that you will get these two partitions again.

If you want to move the free space in partition D to C, then you will need to use a software of partitions. I use GParted its great tool

> Also the recovery disc has all the drivers for all components of the laptop, and Windows 7
Yes

> As I bought this form Amazon no windows disk or recovery disk was provided, only the windows 7 serial number.
See above, that you create this recovery disk!

    For some reason I didn't your answers on your other thread.

    You can only expand in the unpartitioned space on the right of the partition that you extend. You deleted the D: drive, but the space is not the unpartitioned space. Because you can have a maximum of 4 partitions on an MBR disk, the last of them is typically created as an extended Partition, that allows you to create additional logical drives inside. It is a goofy configuration if this is how he got from Dell. You must also delete F:, then delete the Extended Partition. Then you can extend C: you have unpartitioned space where was the Extended Partition.

  • Waste of space on hard drive

    My pavilion 734. UK Windows XP failed to restart after a set windows to update recently. Finally, I hit F10 on the hp splash screen and recovered the system, with a few necessary subsequent update. I find now that I can't recharge my photos and other files that the remaining disk space has reduced to almost nothing. The hard drive is a nominal 80 GB and the last time I remember to check before the reboot fails was less than half full.  Auditor of Western digital disk tells me that it is in good condition. I can find 88000 files using Go 33 - hidden files included. However, the computer thinks I have used f. 70 restore points have been reduced to one and run Disk Cleanup. Can someone help me understand why I can't access the 'missing' 37 GB?

  • Creating Installer bootcamp on the external hard drive instead of the USB partition?

    Hello

    I have a MacBook Pro 2012 and mountain LIon. I want to install Windows 7 via bootcamp, but my USB isn't enough grand (only 4 GB of free space). Instead, I expect to use my external hard drive. However when I go to bootcamp to create the installation program, it gives a warning that my hard drive will be erased. It is not possible to create the installer on a partition instead of him wiping the entire HARD drive?

    Thanks for the help!

    Boot Camp and Windows supports installation on an external drive. There are specific exceptions in the versions of Windows, see Microsoft for more information on installing Windows on an external drive.

    Hi rolyreefer,

    Many internal hard drives of the riders that in order to configure the main hard drive (master) disk where you install Windows or a secondary (slave) drive, you define where you store programs and files. These riders are of small plastic sleeves that you place on the correct metal jumper pins. For additional instructions, see the documentation that came with the internal hard drive.

    Remove the primary disk may not be affecting the other disk.

  • Satellite A210-171 - maximum capacity of a hard drive?

    What is the max HDD capacity satellite a210-171 may take?

    Hi turboiwan,

    As much I know satellite A210-171 has already interface SATA HARD drive so that you can install each HARD drive with this interface because the standard SATA are without capacity limits. This means that hard drives of 500 GB or more may work.

    For example, I upgraded my laptop with 500 GB Western Digital drive HARD and this worked great.

  • L750-114 satellite see 746 MB only 3 GB HARD drive

    I have a laptop Satellite L750-114 and I bought an external hard drive of 3 GB.

    The problem is that Windows see only 746MB and I can´t the complete hard disk format.

    What can I do?

    Thank you.

    You must format the HARD drive before installing the system.
    The best way to format the HARD drive would be the use of external USB-SATA-controller (attachment). Connect it to computer 2 and format the HARD drive by using the NTFS file format.

    You can also start Notepad using the key of Gparted Live USB
    http://gparted.org/LiveUSB.php

    Then you should be able to format the HARD disk and to create single partitions on this HARD drive.

  • Satellite L750 - receive messages from ordinary this HARD drive is about to fail

    I have a laptop of PSK2YA - 04K 010 L750 Satellite.
    I get regular messages that my hard drive is about to fail.
    I backed up all my important stuff.
    I did not the recovery discs until I started getting these messages.
    I've been able to create a windows repair disc & also recorded an image of the hard drive on an external hard drive with no problem.

    I bought and installed a Western Digital 750Go WD7500BPKT hard drive replacement.
    I tried to do a system restore using the image I created on my external hard drive
    "I get the following message appears a few seconds after the start of the reimage" the operation failed because of a device error encountered with the source or the destination. (0x8078012D)

    I reassembled the original hard drive & make a set 4 DVD discs using the Toshiba Recovery shortcut.
    I put the Western Digital drive HARD back in & run these discs. Disk1 ran right to the end, then put in disk2 wouldn't do anything, the drawer of the DVD would keep opening asking me to put in the disk.
    Don't really know where to go now & am hoping to get a few ideas from people in the know or have been here before.

    > I tried to do a system recovery using the image I created on my external hard drive

    How did you create this image?

    > I put the Western Digital drive HARD back in & run these discs. Disk1 ran right to the end, then put in disk2 wouldn't do anything, the drawer of the DVD would keep opening asking me to put in the disk.

    It looks like the 2nd disc can be read correctly or the 2nd disc was not created correctly.

    I first recommend you to clean the lens of the laser of the reader of CD/DVD alcohol or cotton tip.
    Then try to run the installation by using the recovery disk once more.
    In case this isn't possible, your recovery disk is defective.

    If the recovery disk that is faulty, you have an option to order here:
    http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    The 2nd option would be clean Microsoft Windows disk usage.

  • Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

    I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

  • L50 satellite will not start up - request password HARD drive

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 and when I start it, it says
    + no boot device please don't restart System.

    It is still under warranty because it was purchased only 6 months ago.
    I took it back where I bought it and they told me to contact Toshiba.

    I'm waiting on a reminder.
    I hope that someone can help you. He also asked that the HARD drive password.

    Where can I find this information?

    Hi Kym

    I guess the L50 Satellite cannot find the boot device (HARD drive), because the HARD drive was obtained with a drive password HARD and without this HARD isn't accessible disk password and the system does not start properly.

    Did you set this password for HARD drive in the past?
    I m request because this isn t password on new laptops. This HARD drive password can only be set by the owner of the laptop

    Of my knowledge if you know n t this HARD drive password, you will not be able to access the HARD disk in such a case, the HARD drive would be useless, and the data would be lost

    That's why I recommend you check if someone put the HARD drive on your laptop password where you n t know the password, you will need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the system once more.
