• Can't resize external backup Time Machine in the hard disk partition

  I have a Seagate Expansion to drive 3 that I use for storing files as well and Time Machine. Initially when I set up the drive, I allocated 350GB for the partition that I use with Time Machine.

  I use a 256GB MacBook Pro and Time Machine is now advising me constantly backup capsule is short of space. I have 2 questions:

  1. Disk utility does not allow me to resize the partition of Time Machine (I can only reduce the size using resize controls). Also, I can't delete the partition, because the minutes signed is grayed out (see screenshot) - However, I am able to erase this partition. What can I do to resize (and expand) this partition, or delete it and create a larger partition for use with Time Machine?
  2. What is the best size to send to the Time Machine partition in order to keep my Mac saved 256 GB?

  Thanks in advance!

  A drive that is mounted or shared may present as "Busy" that could prevent resizing.

  Try to disassemble the disc (with the assembly/disassembly button in disk utility) and see if it works better. Then mount it again before leaving the disk utility, or do a reboot to mount again.

• Recovery Manager fails to restore the image after the changes made to the hard disk Partition

  Hi support forum.

  I use a HP dv7t quad ed. ive decided to partition my hard drive of 750G. While the partition is on progress, all of a sudden, the monitor turns off and had no picture. I think that, maybe, he had disappeared "sleep mode". I don't have no mode 'sleep'. I'm trying to scroll through the touch pad in the hope that the image will reappear again. but nothing happens. thinking that it is just the monitor was in mode 'sleep' and the hard drive still flashes, I still waited 45 minutes for the process to be finished and maybe it will just restart it self. After an hour of wating, power the laptop off and the power button flashes. I assumed, but in doubt that the partition has been completed, I press the power and it turned off. as I press the power button to turn it on, my computer does not start, and I knew that my computer it was damaged. Ive tried the 3 options to access the F11 recovery but nothing works.

  I hope you cud help me guys. TNX

  I want to change the Partitions to 'go primary. " I tried to do a sytem of the HP recovery partition recovery, but the option is disabled.

  Also, I want to partition my Hard drive as I have 100 GB for Windows 7 and the 650 GB remaining for my files and documents so that I can access from my Ubuntu as well.

• 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

  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.

• Why the hard disk is divided into partitions of two data (C:Vista and E: Data)?

  I just started a new A200-1V0 and found that disk space is divided into two partitions of sizes equal 'C:Vista' and ' E: Data "(and a small one EISA).

  WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended only to the tricks of the 'system' as the root 'Users' (user Documents) is on it also.

  This is the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said that Toshiba could do this without asking me?

  How can I move the root 'Users' in Vista (in the data partition) - if I have two partitions that I might as well use it?

  I can resize partitions in Vista without a utility 3 rd-party (or a complete backup/restore)?

  Thank you

  Hello just YOU

  Please don't be offended because there is no reason for this. You bought the new product with the factory settings. Toshiba and other hardware manufacturer do not know every customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to set up YOUR laptop.

  Because of this, there is a recovery of product support that allows to configure the HARD disk according to your wishes and needs.

  Please use this DVD and install OS how you want it to be. What recovery procedure starts, you will see CONFIGURATION option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.

  Reinstall the OS and enjoy your life. Really, I don't have the time to write on the floors of two partitions, because this is basic stuff and you probably don't want to waste your time to read this.

  Bye and good luck!

• 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.

• 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!

• 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 +:

  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.

• Satellite 300CDT: number of HARD disk - partitions show only 4 GB

  I have an old Satellite 300CDT, I can't support it appears not yet listed on the Toshiba site.
  I have added a new hard drive and bought a 40 GB drive, but it will only show 4 GB per partition.
  I want 2 partitions that I have and in fdisk I said 50% for each but it only shows 4GB each even though it says support big readers.
  I'm running Windows Me.
  Is it possible for an old laptop of this type to display the size of the hard drive.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Did you use the FAT32 or NTFS?
  I use partition Magic 8 to do and to manage the partitions on the HARD disk.
  In my opinion, you should try this program. I think that using the PM8 you will get the total size of the HARD drive.

• 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.

• Satellite L300 - Chaning the HARD drive partitions

  I'm not a computer expert, so answers in clear English + please.

  I own a Satellite L300. Recently, the hard disk was doing fairly complete. I save all my files in "My Documents" etc... I had a look under my computer and the volume C: (called 'Vista') has only 5 GB of free space. However, there is also another volume E: (called 'Data'), and this volume is almost empty, apart from a folder called HDDRecovery.

  I would like to start using this free space. I tried to reduce the size of the E: volume and the volume C:, but - although I can reduce volume E: via Start-computer-Manage - I can't increase the volume C:. In any case, I could only reduce the E: volume by half.

  I created the recovery DVD, so can I remove this volume E: or not? And if I do, I'll be able to extend the C: volume to fill my hard drive?

  If not, can I just start to save files in the E: volume it will affect what is already there?

  What is the best course of action? What I would really like is just a very large volume, so that my files are in one simple place.

  Any help is appreciated, thanks,
  Andrew

  Hi André,.

  First I put t understand why reduce you the E: volume or use only one partition. In my opinion every computer must have at least two partitions. On the second partition, I always save my documents, videos, photos, music, etc.. It is cool and can save a lot of time because if I reinstall Windows using the recovery disk, all the files it will not be deleted, only the first partition.
  As you can see, the second partition is a useful feature!

  But if you have the Toshiba Recovery disk you can do what you want. If a problem occurs, you can restore the settings from the factory with this disc in a few minutes.

  By the way: here's an interesting article on the Windows disk management:

• Satellite A200 - Question on RAM and HARD disk partitions

  Maybe it's in the wrong section... I do not know.

  I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).

  The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 in fat32, so data is available for both)

  Now I wonder what data should I keep these readers. There is a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive that seems to have the drivers and such, some wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the WinRE called D: drive which has a kind of sdi and wim files.

  Another question, if I buy the 2 GB that is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200 - 28 p)
  Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop = true & SelCategorie = 4700]
  It will match the 2 GB already in the laptop? It will void the warranty anyway?

  Hello

  > I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
  I assume you are using Vista.
  The 2 GB partition is a hidden partition which contains the data and the backup files in Vista. This partition will be automatically created during the installation of Vista.

  On the other partition 90GB.
  Well, this partition (partition of data) can be used to store files such as photos, movies, personal documents, etc. it s always recommended to partition a large HDD in more partition. This improves performance because the OS can access files much faster.

  Of course, you can change the size of the partitions. In Vista, you can change this in disk management.

  Regarding the upgrade of RAM;
  The laptop seems to supports the Intel® PM965 chipset and it manages 4 GB of RAM. It seems that you could use a 2 GB of RAM in one slot.
