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.

  • Manager Windows 8.1 and the HP recovery disk manager cannot remove the recovery partition

    I have the following computer: HP ENVY h8 desktop PC - 1437c.  I used the HP Recovery application to do a recovery on a flash drive disk. When you have finished this operation it was not an option to remove the recovery partition (drive D on my computer. I tried to reopen the HP Recovery Manager and try to remove it like that, but to remove it is greyed out. I also tried to delete it using the 8.1 windows Disk Manager, but there is no way to do there either. If I right click on the recovery Partition, I get only an option 'help '. How can I get rid of this partition and recover lost space using it now on my hard drive. Windows and HP did not want to provide more records with their computers, but they do not have a problem of screwing of MY hard drive that I bought and paid for. I should start to charge rent for the space.

    I just used the software and created another partition as drive D using all unallocated space. I can delete probably once again, or maybe I'll just use it as a storage device for my files instead of recovering files sofetware... Thanks for the help

  • What is the difference between the terms "system" disk and the disk of "boot"?

    I have a Setup to dual-boot with Win7 on 2 hard drives so I can choose which drive I want to work with the Win7 OS (long explanation on why it's like that, but it works best for me).  In the management of disk/storage/computer management console, the disks have descriptors which: "Healthy (System, boot, Page File, active, crash dump, primary Partition)" - for the selected disc on the screen of choice of Dual Boot OS, and 'Healthy (active, primary Partition)' for the drive with the operating system not selected in the display to Dual boot.  I understand all the terms except 'system '.    'System' is always indicated on the disk that is designated as the startup in THE BIOS disk, regardless of the choice of OS in Dual boot screen.  For example, if I select the operating system to dual boot screen that is on the other drive (not designated as the startup disk in the BIOS), there the descriptors "in good condition (boot, Page File, active, crash dump, primary Partition)", while the disc selected in the BIOS as primary boot drive will tell "healthy (System". (, actif, Partition principale) ".  I don't know if the term "System" refers to the fact that the drive is the main in the BIOS, or if it refers to the location of the operating system.   I'm setting up automated backups and need to know on which disk the operating system is operational - I guess that he should be the one selected to dual boot screen, but the 'System' descriptor on the other drive is confusing.   Thank you, I of course would like to have clarification.

    Hello
    Too bad this naming convention is therefore against intuitive, but the "System" partition on a windows computer is where files needed for the computer to 'boot '.  It is normally the first partition on the first drive listed by the bios of the computer.  The partition of a windows computer "Startup" may be localized to more than any other disc and contains at least the files for the windows operating system.  Looks like you have a system dual boot where one of your windows 7 version is installed on the first primary partition which is where the necessary files to the computer to 'boot', that's why in every case, it is identified as the "System" partition  It is good practice and can be less confusion with a multiboot computer to create another "System" partition, then install each operating system on a different partition.  This way if you have a problem with one of the os, you can reformat without making the computer unbootable.  It also simplifies backups. This separate partition may be only 200-500 mb in size.  You probably wouldn't do that now, except if you're feeling adventurous.
    See you soon

  • Difference between file system capacity and the capacity of the disks in Capacity Planner reports

    Hello

    I had to go on my Capacity Planner tool training soon, but I have a question on the front that frustrates me. In the evaluation report that comes out of the tool after the analysis, a use of disc section, which lists all the servers for analysis there. A column of this report is directed to file system capacity, another disk capacity. In all cases, the first is less than the latter. What is the exact meaning of these labels?

    Some of the numbers differ substantially between the columns, for example 20 GB for a capacity of 36 GB of disk space for a server and file system. He said that only 20 GB to 36 GB disk is formatted/partitioned to use?

    As previously stated:

    Disk capacity is 36 GB - physically, there are 36 GB of storage.

    File system is logical capacity - the amount of space used by files on the disks.

    File system and the capacity of the disks will never match because fees General table of file.

    I hope this helps.

  • Loss of system sounds and the internet, speakers pass test.

    I have seen this issue a couple of times for its complete loss, but only once for my specific problem.  I am running Windows Vista 32 - bit OS with speakers Realtek High Definition Audio on a HP Pavilion Media Center m7760n.  I have run the diagnostics on my speakers and that they work properly.

    Here's my question:

    Lost computer system sounds and flashplayer/internet despite the audio device in place and work properly.  I still have sound when playing Windows Media Player and iTunes, so it doesn't seem like a problem of device or driver, although I did uninstall and reinstall the driver.  I also performed some diagnostics on the speakers and in the test that they did play sounds, but they haven't played the system sounds in the sounds/system folder.  Another strange appearance is the presence of the sound of my PC, an alert tone, I don't remember having heard it before and cannot be bound.  These are the programs that have been installed around the time I lost sound: Windows Update, Package of device driver of network adapters Apple and Serial Bus controller device driver Package universal of Apple, Inc.  This computer has always run Vista, so is not upgrade, and I don't think it's a Service Pack, it could only be that of the update, so I don't know if these answers would really help me.  I searched on Google, CNet, HP and the basis of knowledge of Windows without success.

    Here is a link to a question from CNet which reflects mine, but relates to the execution of a registry cleaner, that I did not.  http://forums.CNET.com/5208-12546_102-0.html?ThreadId=345265

    I read on one of my research about it being a registry with Flash or a missing codec problem, but it wants me to download K-Lite codec pack which I don't know that I need.

    I run a restore if there is no available answer, but it would be good to know what the problem is.  I can't be the only one with this problem, if there is someone out there who knows how to solve this problem, your help would be greatly appreciated!

    Terri,
    If this problem started when you downloaded the updates listed in your first post, you tried to remove these updates to see if the problem goes away?  What are the Apple updates that you noted in your post - what kind of Apple devices you have installed?  And what Vista update - what is has been downloaded just before this problem?  Just try to identify what it is a very strange problem with it only affects some sounds, but not all.  I know that some Vista updates can return drivers for Windows by default, crushing the drivers from the manufacturer, so you could check and make sure you have the latest drivers from the manufacturer and not the default Windows drivers.  Also check your templates of sounds in the control panel.  Try selecting different models of sounds to see if any of them will play sounds.  As a first step, you said that the sound works with Media Player and iTunes, but in your last post, you said that it gives you an error when you try to play a CD.  What is the exact error and what program are you trying to use to play the CD?  I know that you do not want to do the system restore, but you may need.

    Here's one thing to try before you perform the restore:
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
    Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
    sfc/scannow
    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  • HP pavilion p6604f Windows 7 Home Premium and the disk recovery.

    Hi, my first time here. First of all, I'm in my late 70s and not very computer.  My computer crashed during an update. So in the end I bit the big one and inserted my recovery disc I made 2 years earlier, when I bought the machine.  Problem is the recovery disk is corrupted badly and contains a lot of bad things in my previous Pavilion.

    What I want to know: is it possible to get a recovery clean disk/s for this HP computer?

    Any help much appreciated.  THX eyejayem

  • XML and the data recovery

    Hey,.

    Not sure if this is the right section on the forum:

    I was wondering if there was a way to retrieve data from an XML page.

    For example, I want to create a BBApp that can request a XML page and once it has loaded to extract all of the appropriate fields and load them into a graphical user interface - without actually loading the page, basically I just want to create demand and get the XML Source Code and mine through this XML Source data.

    Thanks in advance,

    Jovinus Sveinbjornsson

    Hi Eva,

    This can easily be done in a BlackBerry Widget.  You will use the built in support of AJAX and the XMLHttpRequest object.

    You can retrieve the contents of the XML file via an AJAX call.  When it returns can then access the property of '.responseXML' which has already crawled your XML DOM document.  Just to make sure to whitelist the domain in the config.xml file to allow access to that external resource.  There are a bunch of samples and videos that explain this concept.

    You would then just browse XML and create your HTML code to reflect your data and insert it into the page.  A good tutorial on AJAX can be found here:

    http://www.w3schools.com/AJAX/default.asp

    Now for some advice

    If you are recovering data and then display as Web content within a widget, I would really recommend format of that content on the server in its HTML markup before sending it to your Widget in the AJAX request.  The reason why I recommend this is that there is a lot of manipulation of the DOM creating HTML nodes if you look at the raw XML data that is returned.

    If you flip it over already in HTML server-side, you can simply replace an item on your web page using innerHTML.  On a device mobile, if you can offload the work to a server it certainly helps performance.

    Hello jc111,

    I would like to apologize for the problem you are experiencing.  The eprintcenter.com site and the site snapfish.com are connected.  It is possible that you had a printer in the past that you signed up for an account with snapfish, while you were recording with us and you didn't.  I would try going to snapfish.com and using the forgotten password under their log link to see if who you alow reset you the password.  Once the password is reset, log information Web site snapfish.com will be information to use to connect to eprintcenter.com.  If you need anything else please do not hesitate to answer.

  • I did a system restore and the files are still there, but I can't find the location.

    I did a restore on my Windows XP system because I was not able to access my desktop because the password entry bar giving access to the Office not show up no matter how many times I rebooted the computer.

    When I made the recovery of the system, he said that my files were not going to be deleted, all programs were still there, but the photos, videos and music were gone from My Documents.

    So I tried to find on the C drive, I thought that maybe they had just moved somewhere else. I even went in the folder options to show hidden folders, but the files are not in one of these folders.

    However I know that the files are still there, because when I look at the properties of the drive C with the right click of the mouse, it says drive C is always full, as it was before the system recovery. So this means that the files are still there but I don't know where.

    I have lots of family photos and videos that I want back. These are the only things I want to get back and maybe my music files.

    Any ideas how I can find these files or the folder that contains the? Perhaps through MS-DOS or something like that? I have external hard drives to copy if I find them.

    Maybe this will help you:

    Completely remove iTunes and do a clean reinstall by following the steps below.

    Note that you cannot 'upgrade' from Windows XP to Windows 7.  If your computer hardware is compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 7 drivers are available, you can install Windows 7, but this operation will require a new install of Windows 7.

    You can use Windows Easy Transfer to copy your data, but not your applications.  Applications will need to be reinstalled from original installation media.

    To perform a "clean" iTunes installation uses this technique proposed, from Support of Apple HT1926 article.
