• Partition the new drive and put windows on a small partition, how can I "move it".

  Hard drive crashed and had to get a new.  We partitioned the 500 Gig into 5 segments C:.5 Gig F:10 Gig G:H: I: integer 100 Gig... We used the production disks for the computer will... After a window few months started slow like a turtle, and then began there was not enough space on the drive to work.

  Thanks for the info... uh do often criticize people on this site? I'm just a question because I am very novice in computer technology and I trust often more educated people. But I don't like to be belittled because I thought it was one person and another don't think it's a good idea. Worried if I should keep coming back here to get help or not.

• Should I partition my new SSD once I install it?

  End of 2011 MBP 17 inch

  A new SSD Crucial. I have heard some say that you should partition the new drive before you reinstall a new copy of Mac OS x. Is this true?

  Yes. True for all new hard drives or readers drawn from non-Apple computers. Here's what you can do:

  Net Clean Install of El Capitan

  1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.
  2. The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.
  3. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
  4. When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
  5. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
  6. Set the GUID partition scheme.
  7. Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
  8. Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
  9. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.

• Is it possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition?

  Partitioning of a Windows 7 computer

  On a laptop Windows 7 HP, it is possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition? I know I can run Win7 XP mode, but many prefer a base XP environment. Yes, I have new copies unregistered XP and Office 2003.

  TIA,

  Steve

  Besides Partition Master you can also use Windows 7 "Disk Managment" to shrink the partition of Windows 7, create a new partition of the space "unallocated", and then do a formatting NTFS "Full".

• If I create an image of my windows 7 hard drive, should the new drive size match the old drive?

  I want to create a backup of my hard drive that has windows 7 on it.  Do I need a hard drive of the same size or can it be smaller?  I want to put the hard disk image is smaller but still would have enough space for all the data on my computer. Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  I want to let you know that the free space on the new drive should be more than the size of the backup.

• STOP STOP 0x0000008e error error messages appear after trying to install Windows XP on the new drive

  Original title: Stop error 0x0000008e error displayed after trying to install Windows XP on the new drive

  STOP 0x0000008e error. Also setupdd.sys - address F740DFEA base at F73EC000, Datestamp41107c8f. After trying to install Windows XP on a new hard drive. Never been in the BIOS. A bit afraid to change much, but it is said that the caching and shadowing should be turned off and boot into Safe Mode, but I cannot get Safe Mode because there is no OS on the drive. Also, he wants to know if I want to install Windows XP to a partition on the disk. I looked at other readers, and there is a partition, so I think I should. Any information would be appreciated.

• My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also backed u

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• I can not format or partition my new drive HARD internal

  I have a MacBook Pro late 2011. The other day, I was unable to boot and got the flashing question mark folder. When I command + R, my old 500 GB of HARD drive was not appear. I decided it was time to upgrade. I bought a Seagate 2 TB drive and installed it. I am now ready to install OS X on it. I am able to see the drive when I go into Internet recovery, but failure of attempts at partitioning and formatting. The error for the formatting is "wipe data on the volume to avoid future to probe accidental is not" and the error for partitioning is the same. I looked for answers and I tried all the solutions I could find, but I am unable to do the single user mode that I can't boot into it successfully.

  Are there other options or ideas that guys maybe I can try?

  I suggest that you consider getting an external adapter or place the new drive in an external enclosure. Install Mac OS X on this subject here.  When you are satisfied with the way it works, and THEN do the transplant.

  This separates from the software install the registry numbers, reduced the problem by half and the two halves solvable.

• Cannot transfer Time Machine backups on the new drive

  I store my backup Time Machine on a Seagate 1.5 TB drive when the drive starts giving errors.  I had files on this computer and was able to transfer all except for 2 who were on unreadable sectors.  Fortunately, one of these files was an older archived version that I could afford to give up and the other was a temporary file in the photo library and since all other items were okay, I think I'm good.

  The problem came when I tried to transfer my Time Machine backup of 800 GB for a new disk.  When I copy and Exact-paste (cmd-opt-shift-v) the Backups.backupdb to the new drive, it gets the extent of November 23, 2015 and then dies because reports of the Console to the system, it gets an IO error when you try to read:

  /Library/SystemMigration/history/migration-245250B6-4F52-4FBB-BD61-546A8C19CCD5/ QuarantineRoot/private/var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_x86_64

  in the relevant backup.  And because it's an IO error it simply abandons the whole process so I have no backup from November 23, included, for now.

  Because the disc is unstable, I wasn't able to use disk utility to make repairs on it.  The disc is what is and I have to deal with the mess, that I do not have the disorder, that I would have.

  I tried to manually place the missing files in the database, but the operating system will not let me.  I want to just copy my backup / OS X stop abandonment and be more like Windows and give me the options to "try again" or "fail" instead of just quitting!  I mean, why should I lose my backup all hierarchy of 23 November and beyond, simply because you cannot read a file, a file that I could simply replace in the backup of the current version or you can just ignore it.

  I tried to copy files on and setting xattr on them to be backup items, but they are wrong.  I tried chflags parameter to make the writable directory, but it does not work.  I can't copy the missing files to fix my archives.  Help.

  Please, don't try to transfer backups of a failed drive. Placing the disk aside until you don't know no longer you need the data, then delete and recycle. Start a new backup set on the new drive. For more security, you always have more than one backup.

• How to partition the hard drive

  Hi, anyone knows how to disable partition the hard drive? Getting sick of the transfer of information between C: and E: Paulette

  Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management.

  Do right click on E a remove it. After that, you should be able to enlarge C with right click and choose the option of not. But you'll have to save files on E first, so as not to lose them.

  If this does not work for any reason, you will still be able to use 3rd programs like partition magic. I've used several times and I am very happy with it.

• How to partition the hard drive in my satellite M40X-189?

  Please can you advise the team?
  I would like to have the operating system and application programs in a partition and the data I've created in another partition.
  Please can I have advice from the team?
  Has anyone partitioned the hard drive on their satellite M40X-189 and what software did you use to do the partitioning?
  Also, I just defragged my hard drive and the card reader can be seen at: http://www.seniorvalues.org/drive%20map.jpg
  I am curious about the above provision given that free space if 52%, but white space does not reflect this and there is a piece of defragmented files and folders around the middle of the big whitespace at the end of the training I was expecting to be adjacent to the last great defragmented file.
  TIA
  Welshmike

  Hello

  I use partition magic to create and manage new partitions. In my opinion it of the best tool if you want to work with partitions.
  I have 2 partitions on my unit. C for OS and D for the 3rd of data and files. In this case if I recover my unit only the first C partition will be formatted.

  Good bye

  Help, please!

  Hello

  40GBs is the minimum; who will be vey quickly useless.

  Recovery partition would have been photographed by the manufacturer of the computer hard disk and you can't replicate that.

  You can use all of the hard disk space available to install Vista on.

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.
