• Help - need to consolidate the partitions on the hard disk after system recovery

  There are 4 partitions on my laptop Lenovo w/Vista. They are the main with the system OS etc. files partition, then an extended 9.7 GB partition labeled volume D: 98 GB of unallocated space and then finally the OEM with the recovery image section. I want to create a partition that is important as the C: volume with all that on it. The only other partition would be the volume of the OEM. Now when I try to use the unallocated space (create a simple volume with quick format) it says the operation cannot be completed because there is not enough space on the hard drive; that cannot be true because the unallocated space is 98 GB +. I got the OS to the factory setting thinking that it would be re - format the hard disk for the installation of 2 original score. No luck. I need help! We cannot add a lot of apps of software in the form of program files before the C: drive runs out of space. Help!

• Satellite Pro C660 - 21(d): question about the partitions on the HARD disk

  Hello

  I just started using my new satellite pro c660 - 21 d

  My office has drive c, d, u, s
  C either windows 7, Vista D
  The drive U is 342 meg in size

  I didn't have the disk in two 230 gig drive so thoughtless narrowed C drive of 70 GB and D drive with 10 gig (it's the primary recovery partition

  I have now two empty partitions of 170 Gig (from c drive)
  and 214 Gig (from d drive)
  But windows will only allow me to add one as a disc of the user
  He says may not have more than 4

  The reason for being there is a partition of Active recovery without letter.

  I can't unshrink drive C or drive D then I went with 170 GB of unused space.

  I guess that a solution would be to lose the data disk 10 gig that contains the recovery software but then I don't have a backup.

  Suggestions as to what I could do to work around this problem.

  I am now under the Create recovery disks (2 of them) so maybe I could remove one of the partitions after.

  I don't know why he answered instead of edition, but if the recovery disc creation complete with no errors, I can remove the hard drive?

• Product key HP G62 Notebook - replace the HARD disk - Windows has rubbed off

  Hi there, I would really appreciate how I can recover my windows product key since it has rubbed off the bottom of my laptop and I would like to replace the hard drive and create a boot disk... Please can anyone help with what I can do to get my product key for HP.

  Windows 7 64 bit Home Pro

  Hello

  Unfortunately, there is no way to recover your Windows COA key - neither HP or Microsoft will have any record of it.

  However, if you use recovery discs for your laptop, they will not require the key to the COA and will activate automatically.

  If you wish, you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  New English-Tony Hi,

  It is good to hear from you!

  You pouvez configure dual-boot on your system, but I recommend you to contact the Support technique Microsoft for further assistance in this matter. Ask on how to set up the dual boot without compromising the integrity of operating systems installed.

  I hope this helps!

• permissions changed on one of the partitions on the hard disk

  Some time ago I had to restore my computer to an earlier version. and for some reason, the permissions changed on one of the partitions on the drive hard to the point that I can't change anything EITHER and I don't know how to get back to full access.

  Former title: modified permissions

  When you follow the guide on this page, you can set the owner to yourself, as long as you are signed in under an administrator account. However, this will not work if the file or folder is encrypted.

• Aspire V5 - 471P restore to clean the hard disk - Windows 8

  My son has a laptop Aspire V5 - 471P identical to mine (I liked it and it seemed easier to maintain two identical pieces). Bought off eBay sound but mine was new.  Unfortunately his hard drive failed, so I'm not going to adapt to a new.

  The V5 does not come with restore discs but mine can do a restore USB or can I clone my hard drive.  I prefer the latter option, so I can't go through the palaver to install all software, but I wonder if I can get a team when it comes to recording.

  What should I do as Windows registry is concerned?  There is no license key based on the laptop or on the guarantee and the narrow.

  I suggest that you create a backup media on your work machine restore as soon as possible.
  Otherwise, you would need to buy media from Acer.
  I don't know about V5 but my required Acer as a DVD, but also the USB stick for the game. When you create the set you will be shown the requirement for your machine.
  You can use the media created on both of your machines. There should be no need to worry about recording. This is happening automatically that the OEM key is embedded in the machine - Microsoft has eliminated the need of stickers and therefore are no longer used. Note that if you use Windows media from a different source, it will require the serial number of this version - the embedded key will not work.

• Satellite L500 - what is the third partition on the HARD drive?

  I see that I have three primary partitions already made on this new L500 ~.
  1.) 2GiB/dev/hda1 to Toshiba Recovery,.
  2.) 330 + giB (C :) for Vista and 3.) 12GiB/dev/hda3?.

  I need windows dualboot both valuation and partition for Linux and the storage installations.

  What is the third partition for and I can configure things so that I can save it in a logical Partition?

  My goal is:

  / dev/hda1 = Toshiba Recovery
  / dev/hda2 = Vista
  / dev/hda3 = Windows 7 ~ RC7
  / dev/hda4 = expanded to all others (including Linux, the existing 12GiB and common storage as well.)

  Any suggestions or thoughts before I dive?

  Best regards, SnapafunFrank

  Hello

  The third partition is Vista.
  Vista creates two partitions; a partition common to install the system and the second partition hidden for the backup files. These backup files are important for Vista. Vista needs him to repair the operating system if something will go wrong

  So it s is strongly recommended to leave this partition on the HARD disk

• Cannot access the HARD disk drive HARD - Satellite P300 recovery

  Hi all

  I want to perform a Toshiba product recovery, using the partition on the HARD disk. I did it before and no problem.

  But when I press F8--> computer repair--> selection language--> then I have to select a user (Administrator / my name/guest) when I select the administrator, it says that my account has been disabled, when I select the user with my name (Kenneth) he continues to the menu where I can choose the different options for recovery. If I select the product Toshiba blah blah thingy a screen comes up saying it can't find 01 HARD drive. I did nothing with the partition containing Vista.

  My guess is that I need to log in as an administrator, which is impossible. My user account in Vista is a Director,

  Can someone please?

  I use a P300

  Best regards
  Kenneth

• Why the HARD disk is partitioned into C & D on Satellite Pro C partition

  Why the HARD drive is divided and how to use it?

  It is important that the one that I use?
  It turns into one big disk?

  The manual says nothing about this.

  Thanks for any help

  Ken

  Hello

  The HARD disk is partitioned and contains two partitions. The C partition is the system partition that contains the Windows operating system. The second D partition contains data drive HARD recovery.
  HARD drive recovery allows you to establish the notebook back to factory settings without the recovery disk usage.

  But it s is strongly recommended to create the recovery disk! The user manual provides the info on that in case something goes wrong with the HARD drive, the recovery disk allows you to recover the laptop.

  Of course, you can delete the D partition if you want to, but before doing so, you must create the recovery disk.

  However, my HARD drive contains 3 partitions. I created an extra. In my case, the C partition contains only system and the unique software. My files private like Mp3, movies, etc. are placed on the D second partition).
  The third partition (E) contains a folder with games.

• Impossible to 'System' to defrag Portion of the hard disk on Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8 Pro dvt7-3000

  I have a laptop HP Pavilion dvt7-3000 CTO that has a single disk drive hard 500 GB.  The operating system has been improved in Windows7 Pro (64-bit) to Windows 8 Pro (64-bit), but the problem occurs in both operating systems.  When conducting the defragmentation of the different hard disks (C:\ D:\, HP tools and system), the percent of the "System" drive which is fragmented never changes, while the % fragmented adequately for other readers going to 0%.  Over time, the system part of the hard disk rose to 27% fragmented.  How to defragment this drive?

  Hello

  The system partition contains the boot files and recovery for Windows 7 environment and should not be défragmentée.  It will always appear to be fragmented and it is quite normal - force this partition defragment would almost certainly avoid the Windows startup.  In addition, the fragmentation in this small partition has absolutely no effect on performance.

  For much the same reasons, the recovery partitions or HP_TOOLS must be défragmentées.

  Kind regards

• How to recover files from the hard disk recovery partition?

  There are recovery (D) on the hard disk.  How can I recover all my old files and programs of this drive?

  Original title: I changed from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 operating systems.

  Hello sdf361,

  The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
  that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
  your programs since the original installation discs.

  If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.

  Sincerely,

• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

  Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
  Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.
