Says drive C only I have 100 GB after system restore when I 1 t Hardrive

Hello

I recently put the laptop next and the Spec:

HP Pavilion 15-n274sa, processor Quad - Core AMD 10 - 4655M, screen 15.6 "HD, Microsoft Windows 64-bit 8.1, 8 GB RAM, 1000 GB HDD, DVD, AMD Radeon HD M 8670 2 GB Graphicss engraver

Unfortunately, I had to do a factory restore via the HP system recovery, but 900 GB on my hard drive is not recognized.  What can I do to get it back to the correct partition size?

Thank you very much.

Hello

Yes he did and it is simple to fix.

You can expand the C partition in "unallocated space" as follows.

Once more, hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type compmgmt.msc , and then press ENTER.  Click disk management in the left pane and let readers load upward.

In the lower graphic view of the partitions, right-click on the C partition and select "Extend Volume".

In the next window, click Next.

In the next window, use the "select the amount of space in MB" make sure it shows the same number as the number of 'Space available Maximum in MB' which is registered just above (adjust if necessary).

Click Next, then click Finish.

It may take a few minutes to complete.

Kind regards

  • Laptop HP 17 p100: how the usb flash drive big that I have to create a system of 10 Windows Recovery?

    How the big usb flash drive do I need to create a system of 10 Windows Recovery?

    Yes

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    There is really no way accurately guess in advance, with one of the reasons being that the options are available when you do this.  An option creates a recovery drive minimum with what is needed to repair the operating system.  Another option creates an image that is able to completely restore the operating system and its partition.  Thus, the size can vary from 4 GB to the size of the partition to the OS.

    Myself, I found as build-in recovery to be unreliable, especially those of Ms.  So instead, I use a third-party imaging/restoration solution known as Macrium Reflect.

    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

    My experience is that SIR, when you use the option of Compression high, typically allows to compress the image file recorded at about 50% of the space USED in the OS partition.  This means that if you have a 40GB and 80GB OS partition is used, MR must only about 20 GB to store the image file.

    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

  • Driver went on a pad and perform a system restore, the hardware is not installed but the same problem.

    I have Vista Home Basic. I have a HP printer that whenever I logged in re-installed drivers. So I decided to uninstall all printer and software and re-install fresh. All seemed well and good work but if I restart or stop and come back on the laptop tells me a driver went on a buffer and performs a restore of the system. The system restore seems to work and restores me awhile before I re-installed the printer. But again if I restart or stop it has the same problem. the pilot and buffer. I have not yet installed or reconnect the printer because it restored. I don't know much about computers and I don't know what to do. I wanted to kind of do a clean install of Vista but it comes preinstalled on my laptop so I don't have a disk and that I read removing the drivers does not seem an option.

  • My Vista profiles keep the reset by default, and every time I have to perform a system restore.

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2.

    I have three user profiles set up, one for my daughter, one for my husband and one for me.

    A week or two there, my daughter connected on his profile to find its bottom screen and bookmarks and office icons had been reset.  I thought nothing of it, just helped get everything set back again.

    Two days ago, I logged on my profile and my husband connected to Siena, to see that all about its profile has been reset to the default value.  All her desktop icons disappeared, his favorites on Firefox were gone, his background has been reset... absolutely all the custom features have been reset.

    I ran system restore, and it resets me up to a point where Paint.net has been updated.  Everything is back to normal, so I stop updates on Paint.net and even blocked his access to the internet using my firewall to prevent it happening again.

    Yesterday I logged in my profile to find that the same thing had happened with mine.  So I ran the restore of the system again, and he suggested that I restore to a point where the updates of Windows has been installed.  I did, and everything went back to normal for my profile.

    Then this morning my husband connects to sound and finds the same problem.  So we did another restore of the system, return to the last update of Windows.  Everything returned to normal.

    I just ran Windows Update, and these are six updates, that it tries to install:

    -Update for Windows Vista (KB976662)-
    -Update for Windows Vista (KB979306)-
    -Update for Rights Management Services Client for Windows Vista (KB979099)-
    -Update for Windows Vista (KB976264)-
    -Update for Windows Vista (KB975929)-
    -Definition update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (definition 1.75.1050.0)-

    I thought that one of these updates may be causing the problem, so I just installed and rebooted my pc, but when I logged in all was ok.  This could be the cause?

    If you need more info let me know, thanks!

  • Import from SD card does not store the files on hard drive, but only references to SD card after import.

    Hi - for some reason, files of my card SD imported into lightroom, but referencing only the SD itself card and as files within the usual on my macintosh HD library, of course, when I eject the SD of my iMac, lightroom do not know where the files are more. I tried to delete LR and re-import but the same thing happened. I also saved the DCIM folder on desktop and tried to import from there, but again, it is important files directly to my address in LR, which means that I have to keep my SD card. I use LR for a while and this is the first time that this has happened. I imported the files to another SD card later and everything worked as it should. I really want to make sure that my original files are where they should be on the hard disk and in LR, so I can safely eject my card and not to lose my files. Can someone tell me how to go about this please?

    When you perform the import, you must select the COPY option, and under the Destination on the side right, you must select a location on one of your hard drives.

    Have tried and tried to remove duplicates. Nothing works!

    Have tried and tried to remove duplicates. Nothing works!

    =============================
    Unwanted copies have file names with
    copy "prefix of"?

    Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

    If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
    for XP offers a few ideas:

    Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
    copy of...

    Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now
    release the mouse button.

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
    image files.

    Copies are created when you are unable to
    completely release the mouse button before
    you move the pointer to another file. When a group
    the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
    release the mouse button will produce a bit...
    copies of all the files previously highlighted.

    It's a little easier if you have your folder
    Options set at single click... that way you can
    select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
    and you don't have to click. For multiples you
    I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

    Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
    your solution. To adjust the click...
    Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
    Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
    To open an item"/ apply / OK.

    If you want to delete all the files in a folder
    You can try the following:

    Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

    With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
    or press your delete key... or... click on the
    Group and choose 'delete '.

    How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
    of your image files.

    Open the folder that the images are saved in and
    on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

    (If you view the files from a montage
    program and do not know where the record is... right
    Click on one of the image files and the menu...
    choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
    in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

    In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

    In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

    a copy of

    Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

    When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

    Then go to... Remove / delete.

    You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
    you want to delete the files, click Yes.

    Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.
