Shrink a partition lop off content at the top of the score?
I was talking to support cloning all 4 partitions in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A660 towards a smaller auxiliary HDD (not to create an image, but a clone - recoverable image may be in the plans in the future). If the laptop HARD drive suffers a hardware failure, I can drop the clone in the laptop, be running (and source down a new HARD drive). Moreover, the new (faster) HDD can move the current HARD disk.
Ask in the Forum, partition 1 is to start partition 2 is the C drive and partitions 3 & 4 are for various recovery and content operations. According to the experienced posters, Acronis True Image, and Norton Ghost time adjust score 2 in the cloning process so that partititions all fit into the target disk, without requiring the partitions to be resized in the source HARD drive. I find it reassuring that I shouldn't mess with partitions on the source HARD drive until I confirmed the integrity & all features of all partitions in the target HARD disk.
However, a forum poster Toshiba says decrease in partition 2 causes partitions 3 & 4 start to lower locations, he found that the recovery feature has been lost. I didn't ask for details, but there are two functions, it could refer to: (1) the creation of recovery disks using a dedicated application of Toshiba and (2) restore to factory State (Toshiba is designed for it by pressing 0 over the power upward). I would like to keep the two functions (1) and (2) in the clone.
As an alternative to the on-the-fly resizing, technical support suggested reducing the partition on the source HARD drive 2 prior to cloning, reassure me that's safe and common practice. In fact, Windows 7 includes the adjustment of partitions feature.
I'm new to disk management and do not have a detailed picture of the work of narrowing of the partition. I guess that my disk partition C to have scattered content in the score, even if I use a tiny part of the capacity. Even after defragmentation, you cannot assume that all content is compressed at the bottom of the score, and when you start, who knows where in the operating system partition using disk space.
My main question is: How can you reduce a C drive partition without fear to amputate content in the space that becomes unused space?
P.S. in a tied note (related to the context of the question above, that is), is there a way to test the functions of 2 recovery of the cloned partitions 3 & 4? (1) I can burn discs of recovery once again, but it seems a waste (and I have to find a way to compare with my existing recovery discs). (2), I have to perform a recovery without disk, I really don't want to do. I like to have my current state of the system (although I suppose that if it's just clone HARD drive that comes back to factory State, not big thing). I wonder if there is a simpler and faster to the correct feature indicator.

> It has all the characteristics of a partition that is needed to start, while I also said 'stuff' recovery lies in the partitions 3 & 4.
I guess recovery Toshiba stuff are placed on the 3rd partition in file recovery HARD drive that these files are required to create the DISK to recover using the Toshiba disc creator recover.
I guess that the first partition is necessary to start the laptop computer in Repair Mode and here you can choose different options to get the repaired among other OS recovery disk option is available also.
So I think hidden first partition deletion would remove the HDD repair mode option, but the recovery of image files would be still available in the case of 3rd partition recovery

How to shrink a partition and create a new?
Hello
It is the first time that I use this Ant of response, so if I'm doing something wrong, just tell me. I'm trying to create a new partition to install Windows 7 on, but all first, I need to shrink a partition. I am using the disk management tool. When I try to reduce it, he said "catastrophic failure." Volume was 137 GB free. My system specs are as follows:
Laptop HP Dv4
Windows Vista Edition Home Premium SP1 64-bit
4 GB OF RAM
Hard drive GB 219 (137 GB free)
AMD Turion X 2 Dual Core @ 2.10 GHzI would like to know if there is a good free 3rd party tools that can do this?
Thank you
MichaelKiotieII
It sounds like your just decreases too. And you never want to cut too much because too much shrinkage is not good. Now that it is established, try lowering the amount of the withdrawal. In the computer management console, I mean. Thank you, Jeremy M - Support Engineer

I use macbook pro.
I had installed Windows 8.1 with bootcamp, that there was a c drive, then I tried to do the second drive with disk management d when I shrink the c drive and format the partition which was made by the management of the disks to d ' training, it destroyed my mac osx.
Please help solve this problem.
This partitioning is not supported. Please download GPT Fdisk from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ and install it on the Windows side. Once it is installed, thanks for posting the output as indicated in the CMD window.

Shrink system partition and the HP recovery partition.
HP Pavilion dv6560el notebook PC
Windows Vista Home Premium (original OS pre-installed)
I want to shrink the system (C partition to make room for a new partition (Z.))
The new partition (Z will be used to store data.)
The Windows Vista disk management utility, run as administrator (of course), seems unable to reduce the system (C partition ("Access denied" error), both in normal and safe mode.)
The same failure by using the "DISKPART" utility via the Windows Vista command prompt (run as administrator, of course).
In order to facilitate the task, is seems (surf the web) which is the procedure to follow:
-start the computer pressing F8, then enter into the Windows recovery environment.
-log in as an administrator (of course).
-Open the Windows Recovery Environment command prompt.
-use the "DISKPART" utility in the prompt command in the Windows recovery environment, to reduce the system partition.
-Restart in normal mode.
-log in as an administrator (of course).
-create a new partition (Z using the space unallocated drive just obtained by reduction of the system (C partition.))
-the new (Z partition will be created between the shrunken system (C partition and intact HP recovery (D partition.)))
Two questions:
1. the command "DISKPART shrink" work as expected, that is. It will actually decrease the system (C partition, if the "DISKPART" utility is run to the Windows recovery environment, rather than command prompt in Windows Vista itself?)
2 will be the HP recovery (D partition still operate, IE. the recovery environment Windows will still be available by pressing F8 and still run it if run on the line, if a new (Z partition is placed between the system (C partition and intact HP recovery (D partition itself?))))
Thanks in advance for the answers.
You recovery partition is no longer using the F11 key at startup. Burn your DVD recovery set before changing the hard drive somehow.

How to you turn off auto-play the HTML5 videos in Safari?
How to you turn off auto-play the HTML5 videos in Safari?
I speak not of advertising videos. It seems that there is a new trend that sites add the AutoPlay videos as part of their normal textual content. It's really annoying to try to read the article and have this semi-connexes video game.
Is there a Safari Extension or a hidden setting I'm not about to stop video AutoPlay altogether?
Thank you

There is a preference setting or an available extension.

After restoring image system, content of the disc do not match
I feel like every time I think I have this darn computer fixed, another problem appears...
Okay, so after much headache, I was able to restore the Boot Camp from a virtual hard disk image... however... what OSX sees the contents of the drive BOOTCAMP and what BOOTCAMP sees self are completely different.
According to OSX, here is the content:
Kenz$ ~: cd/Volumes/BOOTCAMP /.
Kenz$ ~: ls
$Recycle.Bin / program Files / users /.
BOOTSECT. BAK program files (x 86) / Windows /.
Start / ProgramData / WindowsImageBackup.
DRIVERS / RHDSetup.log* bootmgr *.
Documents and Settings / recovery / hiberfil.sys*
Intel / Recovery.txt* pagefile.sys*
PerfLogs / System Volume Information.
What the reader was like before restoring the system's yet OSX still think it's what's on the disc...
Seen on Windows, for comparison, here is the content:
Directory of C:\
06/10/2015 AppleBcInstaller.log 58 14:45
the 4 528 09:08 app_updater.log 19/04/2016

22/07/2016 15:48 < DIR > Windows
3 file (s) on 6 644 bytes
10 dir 66,776,281,088 bytes free
In my view, that is a problem OSX, as I need to reset the memory of the BOOTCAMP volume or something.
I disassembled that re-mounted disk, reset the NVRAM/PRAM memory disabilities Tuxera NTFS... but it shows again that content.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem? While I could leave it alone since the OSX and Windows and start properly, I would create an image of WinClone of Boot Camp, and in this situation, it would probably be to create a picture of the wrong thing, then I would like to than OSX to see the disc properly. The determining factor here is I would like to take advantage of the free upgrade to Windows 10, but I want to be able to roll back to where I was in the worst case scenario.
On the side of OS X, you disassemble and reassemble the Bootcamp partition? Tuxera can complicate and lead to corruption.

Shrinking Bootcamp partition and add space for Macintosh HD
Guys, after helping me with my previous question, my Macbook is almost as I want it to be. As said, I have a Macbook Pro 15 "retina end 2013 with OS X El Captain (later) and in addition, a Bootcamp with Windows partition 8.1." It's that everything works fine now, but the partition Windows 8.1 has 300 GB and my score only 80 GB hard drive Macintosh.
I wanted to shrink the partition, Bootcamp in Windows 8, 1 with Minitool Partition software but, obviously, when I reduce this score I get unallocated space that I can't turn into a new partition because I have 4 partitions in the MBR slot. So, what is the best way to reduce my Bootcamp partition and add space on the Macintosh HD partition?
Thank you very much!
Remove the Boot Camp partition, and Windows using Boot Camp Assistant. Then start to affect the size of the Boot Camp partition you want.

Print - Zoom preview.
When I zoom it changes the size of the page on displays on the screen and it also changes the font size of the displayed text.
Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong.
Either way, I need both the features...
i.e., I want to change the size of the page, as it is displayed and I also want to be able to change the size of the content of the page - but I'd like to separate selection in box / controls for each.Print preview is a scale control, than the 'ladders' everything on the page, text and images. The paper size and margins are not changed when the 'balance', these controls are elsewhere. Basically, a scale of 50% will use half of the sheets of paper to print a Web page, it would be to shrink or 100% to adjust.
Who answers your question fully?

How to copy the contents of the hard drive to new hardrive on Tecra 9100?
I just got my new hardrive and need to copy the content from the old to the new. The new hardrive came with no additional software. I have Norton Ghost, so, naturally, I went to the Hardrive copy tool to see that it lists my current hardrive to copy to. How can I copy the contents if I need to install the hard drive? I mean, surely, that it won't do anything if I just put the new hardrive?
Help, please!
Hello
about your hard drive and the size, it's easy, just follow these steps:
Go to "Control Panel"-> "Administration tools"-> "Computer management"-> "Disk Management" and then activate the partition not formatted by right-clicking on the "Unallocated" part and click on 'New Partition The rest is easy to achieve.
And what about the USB-Caddy: they are cheap, you can get every electronic market for $ 10, so it shouldn´t be a big problem. :)

Problem reinstalling Windows XP
I'm having a problem reinstalling Windows XP. After formatting the disk and create partitions, it will not complete the installation. He goes back and reinstall Windows again. I go through the installation of 39 minutes, the computer restarts to complete and it loops back and start the installation again. Why it does this and what I can do to move beyond this?
Go into the BIOS and make sure that you your hard drive is not set to off, and that is the first priority boot CD and your second HD.
Don't push when it restarts anything just to let him do what he does and report back if anything I'm sorry I have no idea.

Explorer Windows displays is not the content of the folder
I use a new version of Windows 7 on a new pc. Windows Explorer does not work correctly.
After the installation of several programs, I saved files in folders
c:\Program Files (x 86) \ "program name".The recorded files do not appear in windows Explorer. Curiously, if I look at the contents of the file in another program by using the command open the files are there.
Essentially, windows Explorer displays all files in a folder, regardless of how many times I update the file, restart the pc, run windows update, uninstall and reinstall programs, show hidden files...
So far, this has happened with two different programs so I think that it is independent of the specific programme.
What is happening and how to fix it?
The best standard practice is for files program for the program, then the data stored in your Documents folder (or at least inside your user profile folder). In this way other users can use the same program and their info is separated (they can not access your user folder).
There are a few ways around it.
1. I would really do anything you can to simply store your data, separate from the actual application. But that's just me and I am the ultimate sheep: I do all that the gods of Microsoft tell me to do, ha ha ha.
2. you can install the program in a folder where you already have a full write access. For example, to install the program on C:\Users\Name\Programs I (in other words, make your own folder). Since it is installed in a place that is not a system protected (such as Program Files) folder, Windows won't try to protect yourself.
3. you can turn off UAC, which I think (I'm not 100% sure) also disables such things of virtualization where tricks Windows programs into thinking they have write access to a folder that they are really blocked since. Really, I don't like this option because it removes virtually the last decade of the evolution of the security. UAC has detractors, but Linux and Mac have had for 20 years: I think it's a good thing, we finally too.
PS. This is probably one of the biggest things I wish more people knew: the folder redirection. Even most programmers are not aware, which is kind of scarey :-)

Contents of the external drive not displayed in Explorer
Hello
I have a Seagate 2 TB external backup drive. When I backup files and click on the drive, he said only: "this folder is empty". However, if I search for a file or directory appears. I read something to the effect that Windows 7 does not show files if a drive is great, but I can't find the source of this now. I've searched high and low online and thought if it was a common problem there would be many cases.
In an attempt to get around this I partitioned the drive into partitions that were the same as the readers, I wanted to save, then their correct content displayed in Solution Explorer. Even with the partitions the content is still not accuse unless I am looking for a particular item.
Really can not understand what the files are there and Explorer can see if I search, but is not a viable solution, because most of the time you will want to navigate you.
Would be very grateful of any thought.
Thank you very much
The files of higher level or hidden folders? Go in the "Folder Options" Panel, click on the 'View' tab, then check the "Show hidden files, folders and drives" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" (ignore the complaint). You see now?
If the directories are not hidden, then it might be a permissions problem. If the root directory of the partition does not grant you permission "Content of the folder", then you would not be able to see the content of the top-level directory... However, default users have the right of "override the control of", if you specify a directory more than you don't have the "contents of the folder" permissions, then you can see the files and folders. To check this:
Drive right click on "Computer"-> properties-> Security (tab)->
and check that an user/groupname name your connection belongs to (click) is drawn with the line "List the contents of the folder" checked in the column "allow". To verify that you are a member of a group (for example, 'users'), you can set up a line of command prompt and type a command like:
net localgroup users
and you will get a list of users in the group "users".

Customize the content of the Newsletter
I'm interested in customization of newsletter content this quarter tests but you are looking for advice on the automation of the development of the model.
Details of the couple on my audience and content...
-My newsletter audience is divided into 6 segments/personas.
-We have about a dozen pieces of content.
-Each segment will see the top five most relevant parts of the variable content so.
Segment History of1 Story 2 Story 3 Story 4 Story 5 1 Contest Promo SB blog Payments Poll 2 Promo Poll Contest Payments SB blog 3 Contest Promo F & D survey Payments SB blog ... ... ... ... ... ... I tried to create each story as a resource of shared content, then created a resource of dynamic content using rules and plug in content shared using < span elqid = "" # ' elqtype = 'Section'... > directly in the code. " I then inserted the dynamic content assets in an email to preview with the contacts of the test, but the preview is empty - so I think that this approach does not work. Is it possible to insert content shared in dynamic content?
A few other ideas I had but have not tested...
-Create active dynamic content for each story slot and plug in html for each segment (rule). This seems quite tedious and prone to error when we create more segments.
-Store the content of the story (img src, short paragraph, title, link) in a CDO and pull them in enamel dynamically using field blends.
How achieve you the customization of content AND not spend hours setting up? I really want to find an automated way to manage each month. Thanks in advance for your understanding!
If you are ready to use a field on your contact table I might have a solution for you. This isn't a simple solution, but I think that once you have a process in place and built it should involve little work towards new versions of installation of the newsletter.
- Build a new field of the table contact called 'dynamic selections.
- Set up a dynamic element for each placement of the story
- You can build the first one out, make it look perfect, then copy it to each of the others)
- In this approach, simply touch the HTML code for each story once
- Each dynamic element will have 12 rules different (one for each possible story)
- The rules for the first element might look like:
- 'contains the A01', "contains A02", "contains A03', 'contains A04', 'contains A05', 'contains A06 '... 'contains the A12.
- After you build and copy the first element dynamic you would need to go each of the rules set by changing the following alpha characters: 'contains has01' to 'contains B01.
- The rules for the first element might look like:
Formatting of the data for the field "dynamic selections.
- "Dynamic selections" data should look like this: A12B11C10D09E08
- Five alpha characters represent each of the five different story placements. These characters alpha will never change for each user.
- The numeric characters represent the history that would be assigned to this user for any particular story placement.
- You want to be careful to make sure that no user had a number repeated in their field "dynamic selections" - This means that they would receive the same story posted twice
Fill in the field "dynamic selections.
The hardest part (and it might be quite hard) is to get the data in the "dynamic selections" field populated.
For testing purposes, it would be easy enough to simply export all users, choose three profiles of another story that you want to send to your users, and then load them in Eloqua in a file like this:
e-mail address dynamic selections [email protected] A06B05C01D02E11 [email protected] A06B05C01D02E11 [email protected] A06B05C01D02E11 [email protected] A01B02C05D07E12 [email protected] A01B02C05D07E12 [email protected] A01B02C05D07E12 [email protected] A07B08C09D01E03 [email protected] A07B08C09D01E03 [email protected] A07B08C09D01E03 Do something more than a basic test (which would be based off digital body language, status of the subscription or data demographic) would require program generator and is quite feasible. In the construction of this program, I would recommend that you push first of all of the data in a variety of fields in a custom data object (be sure to include a logic so that no user has the same story that appear more than once, then concatenate these fields in the field on your contact table.)
I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can clarify anything.
