The EISA Partition: What is it?

• Replaced the portable hard drive, and I can't delete the EISA partition on original disk (which I want to reuse)

  I use a laptop 17 inch set that has two slots for drives 2.5 inch/9.5 mm, but it only came with a hard drive (in the primary).  I recently bought a 160 GB SSD and installed in the main Bay, by completely removing the original hard drive.  I installed Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit on my new SSD using my OEM Vista disc (as well as all pilots, maintenance SSD utility provided by its manufacturer, etc.), and it works beautifully.

  The secondary hard drive Bay was still empty, so I put my original hard drive (conventional spinning drives) return in this Bay. It was immediately found my BIOS and Windows, so I cut and pasted all the valuable data on my SSD (it is not many).  Then I deleted the main partition, for the purpose of releasing the entire disk for stuff like the music.

  Much to my dismay, the snap disk management in the utility included in Windows Vista computer management doesn't let me delete the EISA partition on my old hard drive. When I right click on the Visual representation of the partition, the only option I get is 'Help', 'Remove' or other useful functions (who did not appear for the main partition, and I was able to delete).

  I need the EISA partition because A) is not yet on my boot drive and B) I have all my original OEM recovery disks, and they are in excellent condition.

  If someone could tell me how I could delete the EISA partition on a hard drive formerly-primary but secondary now 111GB laptop to recover the last 9 GB for use by the illustrious Mozart and Tchaikovsky, I would be very grateful.

  I expect there to be a way to do this in Windows, I don't know, that's why I post here, but if not, I am willing to find and download an ISO to burn a disk Knoppix to start Linux temporarily just to delete the EISA partition (well I would really prefer not to do it for various reasons).

  I ended up downloading a free disk partitioning softpedia.com hard tool and he was able to delete the EISA partition without problem.  I then uninstalled the free tool I had just downloaded (honestly, I don't even remember the name of the program, but it was not hard to find in the list of hard disk utilities Softpedia search), and then used the disk management snap-in in the computer management utility to format the disk, which now has my music on it.

  I started this thread when I thought I was out of options, to quickly realize that some kind of solution could be obtained by downloading something from Softpedia, which was true.

  My apologies for taking up forum, but I hope someone in a similar situation finds this useful thread.

  Thank you very much!

• Lenovo n200: How do I delete the EISA partition?

  I have the recovery media and this partition contains only need a lot of space.

  How should I do for deletion of this?  Vista disk management won't do anything for her, apparently, it is protected in some way, but I couldn't find any option in the BIOS for this protection activation/deactivation.

  Is it safe to try to remove it with for example Bootit NG or something that will damage?

  ... And would I need to adjust all the files boot.ini or such?

  My computer: Lenovo N200 0769-EEG

  Windows Vista Business (32-bit) / Debian Etch

  As I do this is to use GParted.  Download the livecd and write them on a blank cd - start with her.

  http://gparted.sourceforge.NET/index.php

  You can delete the partition hidden - beware, this will probably wipe the mbr and you will not be able to boot your system.

  I do it only when I do a new install of Vista.

  But you could possibly fix the mbr and resize the boot partition.

• 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

• What version of the OS on the recovery partition?

  If I installed 10.11.2 BONES, what should be the version of the recovery Partition?

  It will most likely 10.11.1. I don't think that Apple has revised the Recovery HD for 10.11.2. As long as you can start the computer from it, the actual installed version is not important. If HD recovery is not compatible, it will not be able to start the computer.

• Can I delete all partitions and leave only the BONES? What are the implications?

  Hi all!

  I just bought a HP Pavilion desktop computer and I want to create a primary partition to install Linux and another to store my files, but I can have only 4 partitions on a drive, and the HP Pavilion comes with 3 partitions already.

  So, I think that the only partition required for Windows 7 is the appointed a "BONE", right?

  I imagine that if I delete the SYSTEM and HP_RECOVERY partitions? Windows will always start after I remove them?

  (I'm more worried about this SYSTEM partition... What is it anyway?)

  Thank you!

  OK, I was able to create 2 extended partitions and do what I wanted without having to remove anything... Thanks anyway!

  How can I restore my recovery partition?

  You cannot restore the recovery partition. It can be restored if you use the DVD of initial recovery for the installation of the OS. In this case, everything will be like before.

  You created the recovery DVDs until you have deleted the recovery partition?

• Can I change the drive letter of the recovery partition?

  HP P7-1235, Win7 64 bit running. 1 TB HARD DRIVE

  I usually partition my hard drive, so that my data is separate from the operating system and applications.  the operating system is the C: partition, and my data is generally D:.  The problem is: "D:" is used by the recovery partition.

  I can change his letter to something else, and recovery still works?

  Hello

  Well, everything has been said on this subject and its okay.

  It's better to not touch the D: partition, set another letter to your other partiion, if you change the recovery partition, you won't be able to use it.

  But you can also do a thing, you can go ahead and create your copy of the recovery disks, just enter some DVD, create your copy of the recovery Image, then you can change the drive letter of the partition Recovery to E: or even delete that.

  A copy of records RRS, you can always use them to again state of the plant, and that will reformat all your partitions, create the recovery disks and do what you want and prefer with you D: partiion.

• Satellite T130-11 t - need to clean the D partition and increase partition C

  Hi all
  This is my first post and Im not a grumpy so apologies in advance. Ive tried searching the Internet for help with this but cant get long, it is therefore proposed that post.

  I have a Satellite T130-11 t which has 232 GB HDD. Setting it up as 2 drives, C and D with 116 GB on each. The C drive is complete, but its probably just photos / movies so I can solve that by copying the external hard disk, but the D drive is roughly the same.

  Ive looked at the directory and under HDD recovery it is a subfolder called swing and inside are 8 x .srm extensions and 2 x crc files, are all of 2009.

  Files take about 8Gb and I can't delete them as it says I should do so under SYSTEM - the operating system is in German so Im a little hesitant exaclty, what the problem is - and systemfile nervous deletion.

  Drive D but has more than 90 GB of info - when I click on drive D in Windows Explorer, it does not at all look like, there are all large files it. Could there be some hidden files not seen Im?

  Performance is very slow and I want to save or delete/reformat the drive D to drain - any ideas how to clean my D drive please and ideally reduce its size and move some of the allocation of memory on the C drive without losing my data already on C?

  I understand forums that the HARD drive is a recovery file, but should take only about 10 GB cannot so I a C of say 200 GB and 30 GB on D drive?

  Yet once I don't want to corrupt or lose all data already C

  Also when I start it, a message informs you that there are missing files in the directorym LOCAL smply disappeared.

  Thanks in advance

  MArk

  My first question is: did you create a recovery (DVD or USB) media? If Yes, you can use this media for any new OS install when you want. With other words, you can delete all the partition recovery D if you want, but in my opinion you should not do this. If these recovery files are still there you will also be able to use the HARD drive recovery facility.

  > Drive C is full, but its probably a few photos / movies so I can solve that by copying on the external hard drive...
  Fix.
  >.. but the D drive is substantially the same. Ive looked at the directory and under HDD recovery it is a subfolder called swing and inside are 8 x .srm extensions and 2 x crc files, are all of 2009.
  This file belongs to the original recovery image. More or less 10GB isn't a big deal. Leave it as it is.
  > Could it be Im not see hidden files?
  It is not easy to say, because we do not know how your laptop is configured and what files should be saved on the D partition. What you can try is to open the control panel > folder options > view > and check for hidden files and folders. Choose the option Show hidden... files and check again the D partition.
  > Also when I start it, a message informs you that there are missing files in the directorym LOCAL smply disappeared.
  In my opinion, nothing can simply disappeared.
  I think you should check them all, back up all of your important and after data makes this OS install using original recovery image. After that do you have own OS preinstalled, portable will have better performance and also, I think that you will be happy again.

• Windows does not start after the MAC partition resize

  Hi all

  I am newbie in MAC OS.

  I have 2 bootable partitions on my MBP: MAC 10.11.4 Capitan and WINDOWS 10.

  What I have is:

  1. install MAC OS in the DSS of any origin.

  2. use bootcamp, divide the similar size for WINDOWS 10.

  3. install the new fresh WINDOWS 10 correctly and updated. Yet to backup. None of the additional applications. WINDOWS is default OS.

  4. so far, I need MAC OS or WINDOWS OS correctly. Yet to backup.

  5. I need to resize smaller MAC OS, divide into partitions of DATA for data could leave the two BONES.

  6. Since then, I can't start Windows. Doesn't appear that "no device bootable bra bra bra...»

  7 but if I click on Option after turning on, I still see MAC OS option.

  Could help me fix bootcamp, so I can have the WINDOWS startup and the DATA partition?

  Thanks a lot before.

• Only the C partition on the new Satellite C50-B-14Z

  Hello

  I'm not an experienced user, but I'll do my best to explain the problem.

  I bought Toshiba Satellite C50-B-14Z with 8.1 installed Windows, and when starting the system, I noticed that there is only one partition of hard drive, the C partition. When you enter the disk management, I see there are 4 basic partitions already (500 GB disk):

  -Recovery - 1 GB
  -EFI system - 100 MB
  -Recovery - 10.97 GB
  -C (boot, page file, crash dump, primary partition) - 453,57 GB

  They are all primary partitions, and I read on the forums that you can have only 4 those primary, so I can't add one more to the D partition, I would like to have.
  Possibility that I offered in "actions" is to create a virtual hard drive, but I guess that is not the same thing.
  I also read that you can create new partition if you have "unallocated" space (partition), but all 4 before indicated are those primary and not affected.

  Then, the next opportunity that I read on is to do a right-click on C and "reduce volume", and then create new partition from the rest of the space (if I understand it is good), but then I read in Windows Help:
  "When you shrink a partition, all regular files are automatically transferred to the disk to create the new unallocated space. There is no need to reformat the drive to shrink the partition. » ... "If the partition is a raw partition (that is, a lack of a file system) that contains data (for example, a database file)", reducing the partition may destroy the data. ""

  Normally, I have never tested a large part with the C partition, and now I don't know if I would destroy some system files while doing this "shrinkage" and I don't have the CD installation for the system, so I can't fix it if I ruin something.

  Please advise...

  [So the next opportunity I haven't read is to do a right-click on C and "reduce volume", and then create new partition from the rest of the space (if I understand it right), FONTS] [/ COLOR]

  Yes, this is the right way to have more than one partition. You can define what capacity should partition C and any free space can be "convert" to the D partition.

  One last thing: don't forget to create a recovery (DVD or USB) media. It is very important to have recovery image back-up.

• Satellite A200-10W: can I collect if I delete the hidden partition

  I think Linux installation on my toshiba laptop, but before I do that I have a few questions.

  I noticed I can do with my recovery dvd recovery, but I also have a hidden partition on the HARD drive.
  If I install linux (and modify the original scores) can I still make recovery from recovery DVD I got with my new laptop?
  (If I can't do what are my options to install linux and always perform a recovery to Vista later?)

  Hi Luka

  Yes, you will be able to recover the laptop back to factory settings if you delete the hidden partition.
  In this case, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD to get to factory settings.
  The hidden partition is used by Vista. Vista uses this partition for some backups and repair opportunities.
  The use of the recovery CD will format the whole HARD drive and also create the partition hidden too.

  Greetings

• Satellite P750 (PSAY1A) - How update the recovery partition?

  Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

  My Toshiba Satellite P750 (PSAY1A-01Y022) the factory settings has 132 update of Windows that should be applied during the first pass. I had to run Windows update 4 times before she shows "up-to-date". Not to mention drivers Toshiba as well.

  I also want to include some applications (Microsoft Office and other software and utilities)...
  Overall, I spent 2 days just to bring it t the State I want in.
  But I can't just access the recovery Partition (of the less any of this!)

  If you look at disk management, the recovery Partition is not a Volume name and that the file system is empty. If I right click on the recovery partition... all I see is "Help" Option

  I tried to assign a drive by using Diskpart letter... but it doesn't show much.
  My guess is that it is GBT/EUFI.

  Does anyone have experience updating the recovery Partition?

  > Now that I found out that using the recovery on a new HARD drive would create the recovery Partition... comes the question... How do I update the recovery partition.

  What do you mean by update recovery partition?
  The recovery partition should NOT be touched!

  In which case you'd change the partition, the HARD drive recovery process could not be started!

  Probably, you have not understood the meaning of such a HARD drive recovery procedure.
  It's the option provided by Toshiba and the recovery of HARD drive allows you to establish the notebook to factory settings; on the same State as at the first day of the purchase.
