The consolidation of the disks partitioned in Windows XP

Hello

My friend has a C and a D hard drives local that he partitioned a while ago and now wants to consolidate it (delete partition) in Windows XP, it has 60 GB capacity on the ability of C and 50 GB on D.

We found a computer management screen where we saw the drives C and D.  When we right click on D we found a command that tells

'delete partition' but when we did it she always kept the space allocated for the D in another separate volume of C.

Can I can really consolidate both disks in a C drive that lists 110 GB total capacity?  Do I need a separate utility find you?

Thank you

Craig

You are welcome.

In general, these utilities are fairly easy to use... but read the instructions before you start.  And although they are not supposed to destroy your data, making backups is always prudent.

  • If I have not access to the disk partition hard base would impact on the installation of a complete operating system?

    Original title: TPG Server petition.

    I wanted to know if I di not actually have access to the disk partition hard base would impact on the installation of a complete operating system of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit? Instead of having a computer with a complete installation of windows mine came with versions of WinPE OEM, NT and MCE. The GPT partition server that I can see is protected. Partial operating systems seem to be installed on network disk Volumes. I think that what I have to do down the disk hard real all delete and start again but I'm having a problem to see what is all about the drive through programs and remove what I find. He also seems to have a certain type of script hidden BIOS more wrinkles to retail and canceling all decisions on versions of the oem .cfg files. She configures and installs the server instead of windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit server software. The installation gives the highest administrative authority to the network administrators who I don't know and have never met and to manage my personal laptop. It creates a serious problem when I want to use my computer for one purpose and that some people I don't know and have never met want me to use my computer for something else.

  • Defragment the exFAT partitions in Windows 7 Ultimate x 64

    Hello

    Is it possible to defragment the exFAT partitions in Windows 7?

    I have a 1 TB hard drive, acting as a storage/backup drive.

    (average file size is greater than 2 GB)

    It is formatted as a single partition. And formatted exFAT file system.

    But after filling the disk with data, moving, deleting files, performance declined, which is normal and would require a simple defragmentation.

    The problem is simple - how defragment my partition exFAT?

    Hello

    Unfortunately, you won't be able to defragment a disk with a partition exFAT.

  • Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store

    Hello

    Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.

    I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)

    I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN

    The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB

    Concerning

    Marius Aulie

    If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:

    -set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device

    -Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command

    -detach the LUN to the virtual machine

    -try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store

    The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.

  • trying to create an ESXi data store on the local drive.  Configuring the host error: unable to update the disk partition information

    I'm a newbie on ESXi and don't know what it takes to get ESXi correctly partition my drive SATA 500 correctly.

    I will implement a laboratory unit to carry out tests for ESXi and ESXi is not quite correctly the disk partitioning or do not see a good partition in order to create a data store.

    This system was able to correctly identify and configure a data store on a small 80 GB seagate SATA disk, however, this isn't quite enough storage so I swapped the hard drive and tried to re - install ESXi on the new hd.

    I use a USB boot ESXi since and it is launched and configures the card intel pro1000 pci ethernet correctly.  also correctly the id of the cpu and memory.  everything seems fine and he is even able to see the hard drive.

    Here are some screenshots of the process that I go through to make my data store...

    on this photo-sous the column titled 'available' is 'none', also said, under the title 'san identifier' he said 'not applicable' - I guess that's not quite right?

    and disappointment - failure?

    I tried to go into the bios if there are some settings I need to do to get this hard drive set up... I don't understand enough about ESXi to find out why the drive is not found and configured correctly.  is this a bios problem w / my system or a problem of ESXi?

    pls help!

    You have generally not, but it might be interesting to start with something like a Linux live CD and then using gparted or other to wipe all the top partition information.

    Hello

    You can use the recovery CD to create two partitions, but before do you these record all the data because the whole HARD disk will be formatted prior to installation. If you want to do this without reinstalling the operating system persistence, use Partition magic software. It is very powerful tool.

    Don t forget to install the boot manager that allows you to choose which operating system you want to use.

    Good bye

  • HP Stream 13: Can I delete the extra partition in Windows 10 which is not marked "allocated".

    I have improved my Stream 13-10 Windows.  It was very difficult to do and I ended up doing a clean installation (and pay for the cursed BONES) because I couldn't seem to do the upgrade work.

    Now, I seem to have even less disk space I did when she used Win 8.  I have almost no programs installed, I keep all my files on a SD card, I ran disk cleanup, and I moved the "previous operating system" files on SD card.  But I still only 1.2 gig left available.

    I read that win 8, there is a recovery partition that was needed to keep it in place.  But when I look at the partitions in disk management it says that there is a 7 Gig "unallocated" partition and a 250 MB EFI partition. In addition to the primary partition.

    Is - this 7 concerts really unallocated as unused? Is it always a true recovery partition or is it just an artifact to win the 8 that is no longer used?  Can I combine the C partition and the 7 Gig partition unallocated, so I can actually reinstall MS Office?

    Hi, Yes, looks like that when you have done the clean install of Windows 10, you did not wipe the entire hard drive clean first.  The 7 GB partition you see is probably the Windows 8.1 recovery partition remains.  You can delete it now that you run Windows 10, but you cannot extend the C: drive to include the recovered.

    You can repeat the clean install new wiping clean the whole disc first. There are instructions here.  I had 19 GB available on my C: drive after a new installation of Windows 10 on my 11 flow.

    How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    my windows server 2008 r2 system works really slow, I'm extending the system partition.

  • Expand the C partition in Windows Server (not not using diskpart)

    Hi Experts,

    I have an of Windows 2003 virtual machine that has a 12 GB C drive only. I need to decompress. I know that we can use diskpart to extend the drive, but the problem is here that the hard disk is divided into two partitions (C and D), because of which even if I increase the size under the ESX, I don't then expand in Windows using diskpart as it is said there are two partitions on the same disk. Someone help me!

    DISKPART & gt; the list volume

    Volume 1 is the selected volume.

    DISKPART & gt; extend

    The volume you have selected may not be extended.

    Please select another volume and try again.

    Hello!

    Normally, you will only be able to extend the partition that has free space immediately after it on the drive (and this is where the free space is added when you expand the virtual disk). So, if your disk layout is like this:

    DISC

    (block0 |) Partition1... | Partition2... | Free space.........................................| last block)

    you will only be able to extend Partition2

    This is why it is recommended to create a partition per virtual disk.

    In your case, I'd watch if it is possible to:

    (1) add another virtual disk to the virtual computer and create a partition (say f :)

    (2) move the data from the disk D: (Partition2) the newly created disk (if the existing D: holds a swap file, you need to create a swap file on the new drive, and then delete D: pagefile in computer properties > Advanced tab > performance settings > Advanced tab)

    (3) change the drive letters in the Disk Manager (change the drive letter to D: in a free r: one, for example, then change to your new drive d :) drive letter)

    (4) possibly restart the virtual machine to see if all the services are running as expected

    (5) use of the Disk Manager to delete the Partition2 (after this your vdisk that holds Partition1 should have lots of free space immediately after Partition1 and it is expandable)

    (6) use diskpart, extpart or any other utility to develop the Partition1

    (7) avoid creating multiple partitions on virtual disks in the future

    I hope this helps.

  • XPS 12 / Win 8: how to boot from the recovery partition / reinstall Windows?

    Messed up things on a newly purchased 12 XPS in Windows 8, and I want to boot from the recovery partition and reinstall windows.

    Support online pages point by pressing F8 during startup, but this does not at all.

    How can I access the recovery partition?

    To access to the menu of, , press F2.

    To enter the boot options menu, press F12.

    Because the XPS 12 boots so fast, it is better to repeatedly press F2 or F12 after restarting the machine. During the startup process, texts for options should appear at the bottom right of the screen. If you enter Windows, you will need to restart again and press F2 or F12 until it works. However, I don't think there is an option in the BIOS to restore the computer to its factory condition. The previous post by DELL-VIKRAM M describes how to properly restore the machine to its factory state.

    Thank you for your response. The relay please if you are able to open Windows Media Player by clicking Start, and then by typing in the search box to start Windows Media Player. Then click on Windows Media Player based on the results of the search.

    In addition, when burning files to disc, if the disk has been formatted using the Format mastered, the option to close a session will not appear as disks formatted with the mastered Format do not need to be closed and automatically compatible with other computers. If the disk has been formatted with the live file system, you can close a session to be able to use the disc in another computer or player. By default, Windows does automatically when you eject the disc.
