• Format HARD drive, delete the recovery partition and recover with disc

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite C660D-17F and want to format my HDD, remove the recovery partition and recover the preinstalled Windows 7 and other software. I don't want to keep my own data, which are all stored already, I just want to be sure I can safely restore preinstalled stuff. I have a few questions that I need help to clear up before I go ahead.

  Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition? If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?

  I found [this post | http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/items/faq/71] which explains the recovery process. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that? It will restore the OS and the software for the backup of dvd drive? Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?

  Added SIDENOTE:
  I actually prefer to be able to choose what programs preinstalled settle after that I have format, but I'm guessing that probably isn't possible and will settle for install everything and remove what I'm after. Or is there a way?

  Sorry, I know that was a long post, but I want to be sure of what will happen BEFORE I'll and spoil things! :) If you got this far, thanks for reading. :)

  Hello

  I will try to offer help. ;)
  > Am I right in thinking the dvd recovery disc I made when I got to my laptop has all the software and drivers that I need on this subject, the same that would have the recovery partition?
  Yes. Saved on recovery discs recovery image contains the operating system, all necessary drivers, specific Toshiba and utility tools and some additional software.
  > If I do another room to spare in now just to be sure only will they have the out-of-box default stuff: OS, software and drivers on any of my data?
  Preinstalled Toshiba Recovery creator make recovery disc that includes the recovery image only. It has nothing to do with your personal data.
  > I found this post that explains the process of recovery. If I select "Erase the hard drive" (so I can wipe my hard drive and delete the recovery partition too) what happens after that?
  After that, you should use recovery disks created for the recovery image installation.
  > Will the process after that recreate a recovery partition (which I don't)?
  When you use the recovery disc for your laptop recovery image installation will have factory settings which include the recovery saved on the HARD disk image. To be honest I do not understand why you do not want to have this recovery image on the HARD drive. This allows the installation of recovery using recovery of HARD drive option. But of course you can delete it later for more free space on your HARD drive. Installation image that you can always use created for recovery discs-recovery DVDs.

• 2 locations to "Program Files" - one on the C partition - and another on the D partition is possible (or option) so that you can 'choose' where to install a program in particular?

  Hello

  It's my first time display questions on a forum like this, so I'll try to explain in detail what I have (somehow... :)).
  Is it possible to have 2 "Program Files" location - one on the C partition - and the other on the D partition so that you can 'choose' where to install a program in particular? I don't really want to get rid from where 'move' the 'Program Files' folder on my C partition (I just do a clean reinstall of Windows XP), BUT I would like to be able to install several programs on the partition D place on C 'by default. "

  Here's the question: I have several programs that have no option to 'choose' where should be installed - they'll automatically C\Program Files. I want to install it on the D partition. If this is not possible, how can I transfer to the new location (once they have already been installed) in their entirety so that they are functional. I don't want to keep the remains, references and 'shortcuts' on the C partition. These programs should begin to malfunction, I have freedom to wipe the D partition and reinstall the programs without messing up the heart of the system.

  I'd appreciate any help, advice and ideas. Regarding my computer experience, I'd put myself in the novice category, detailed explanations would be a lifesaver! Thank you.

  Programs come with their own setup program and the program developer decides to give the possibility to choose the download location or not

  Device drivers for a Win 7 install on Ubuntu system

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Portege M400-S5032 tablet PC reburbished that came with Ubuntu installed.  I am trying to install Windows 7, but he does not see the disk partitions and the installation goes to the screen 'Select the driver to install' with no option.

• ESXi 3.5 4 problem to upgrade by adding the VMFS partition existing on iSCSI SAN

  Hi all

  I've got 2 x Dell PowerEdge 2950 III linked directly with Dell MD3000i iSCSI-SAN and today I had once hard to improve my production ESXi 3.5 u 4 ESXi 4.0,.

  First is that the upgrade is failed miserably after following this thread: url = http://communities.vmware.com/thread/211413;jsessionid=47217F9BCCA2DF1325DBE7A266D48A8D?tstart=0VMware communities: error on upgrade the host: this host is not compatible with this upgrade. [url]

  with the following error message: ERROR: unsupported boot disk

  The layout of boot device on the host computer does not support the upgrade.

  That's why I did a clean reinstall of ESXi 4 on top of ESXi 3.5 u 4 and lost all unique settings on my ESXi host. I am now stuck in SAN iSCSI partition mapping after following the guide from: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/eslvmwre/AdditionalDocs/cnfigrtnguide/storage_guide.pdf [/ URL]

  See the following attachment.

  I wonder how people make their upgrade in ESXi 4.0 in the production system running ESXi 3.5 u 4 filled with hundreds of VM? The reason why I use 2 x ESXi server connected to unique SAN server, is that I can just start the virtual machine on the SAN from the other ESXi - & gt; that's fine and tested, but then when I rebuild the failed server, I need to delete all the data inside the shared partition that contains my VMs.

  So in conclusion after one of the ESXi server failed, mapping of iSCSI would eventually destroy all data in the partition?

  CMIIW, any idea and suggestion would be gladly appreciated

  Kind regards

  The configuration-> tab cards storage, you should be able to recrawl and find existing VMFS volumes.  You shouldn't need to add storage.

• mount the NTFS partition via ESX 3.5

  Well, it seems none of the simple "out-of-the-box" questions will never come from my keyboard to this topic

  I have a SATA drive, everything works fine but I have a NTFS Partition on the same drive - Let's say sda1.

  ESX 3.5 seems stripped mounting ntfs file system - really not supported by the kernel, it is said.

  I read somewhere that this NTFS CAN mounted as ro (and I find it acceptable) fs, but I can't find any detailed instructions on how to perform this action.

  Is there some package rpm / which can be used for this or should I install some third-party software (link/name appritiated)?

  Once it is mapped, I would like to publish via samba to the network. Y at - it a samba server (I have already launched the client and mapped NTFS FOR Esx via fstab).

  Thanks for the replies!

  Hello

  You cannot use a ROW but a CRUDE disk will work. So you must first create a Raw Disk Metafile for that to work, or you can use the method described in http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/virtualization-pro/vmware-esx-storage-how-to-get-local-storage-to-act-as-a-raw-disk-for-vms/ to acquire these metadata files. Remember NOT to do this the target LUN/Partition that contains your NTFS.

  The Linux 2.4 kernel can only mount a NTFS in read-only mode if the driver exists. You can easily get this driver for your service console. It is not required for the vmkernel actually, just the service console. If you could get on the service console, but then what would you do with it?

  It is best to make a complete virtual machine blown by making CRUDE disk in a virtual machine. Then you can start simply and directly access the NTFS normal methods to which you are accustomed.

• Tried to increase the bootcamp partition and now Windows will not boot

  I've got Yosemite.
  I wanted to increase the size of my bootcamp windows partition, so I searched for a way online, and I found this video:

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=zhkdOLXT6Eg

  I followed all the steps in the video, but after you have started and to complete the process of the Minitool partition Wizard I got this screen:

  http://i.imgur.com/bRnDQuJ.jpg

  This is what looks like my disk utility:

  https://i.gyazo.com/ee9967fc7ac9a2d1ad9afc5cde2f3529.PNG

  It seems that free space is always there

  Is there a way to fix this?

  MiniTool is not recommended because it causes problems and can lead to data loss.

  OS X Terminal please after the release of the following OS X Terminal commands. Enter your password when you are prompted by the command 'sudo '.

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  Do not change the partitioning information any more, otherwise, you will lose your Windows data permanently.

• Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

  Hi all

  Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

  Here are the specs:

  1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

  2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

  Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

  Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

  I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Maybe you can explain a little better.

  I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

  It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

  For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

  Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

  I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

  Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.

• 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

  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.

  Hello

  You can download the Setup from the Microsoft page of WIindows disk:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310994/

  Then you could install the Microsoft recovery console that helps you use the commands * Fixmbr and Fixboot * to fix the Boot Manager:

  I think this should help other rational use the Live like BartPe or WinPE disc to boot up the laptop.

• Satellite L500-19 - remove the recovery partition and create new

  Hello!

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500-19th with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). So far, everything is brilliant work.
  I have already created the recovery DVDs.
  As a result, could now delete the partition with the recovery program? I want to use the full space of my hard disk and create partitions as I want.
  But I don't know how I should do this?
  Could you please help me?

  Oxford

  If you are sure that the created recovery DVD is ok at 100%, you can delete all data on the second partition.
  Open Windows Explorer on the left side where is the second partition, click with the right button of the mouse and choose the FORMAT option.
  Choose the quick format option and click START.

  After a minute or two, all data will be gone.

  Please note: in the future when you want to use recovery DVD for installing Win7 the whole HARD disk is deleted and you will lose all your data.
  Using recovery DVD you can not format the C partition only.
