• I don't see the entire hard drive under Vista. When I try to shrink a volume, I seem to lose space.

  Original title: I see all the hard drive under Vista

  I see on the C drive properties
  "space used = 143 GB ', and"
  "494GB of free space.   But, when I try to do a third partition to install windows 7, using the disk management tool, after I click on
  shrink the volume on drive c, I don't see that: ' available shrink space: 79, 917 MB ' and I also see 'total size after shrink in MB = 573891'.  I expect all the free space 494 GB available shrink.  I'm wrong.    Why all the 494GBs are not available to reduce or at least half of it, I guess that instead of only available to shrink 79Gs!
  In addition, currently, I have three partitions.  For vista, office and other programs and data, C D like Factory Image of HP, a 11.3 GB and yesterday I made a partition for windows 7 with 48.83GBs and installed windows 7 Professional there.  Then I realize, I need more space to install office and other programs and data.  This is when I tried to shrink the c drive and encountered this problem.
  Can you please help me
  Thank you

  Hello

  you do not shrink the C: drive and then expand the E: drive back in the space that you did

  You cannot extend a drive backward

  and I gave you a link to read and use on the problems of shrinkage

  If as a result of the information on how vista disk management work does not fit what you want to do, you may need to buy 3rd party partition software

• Request for BIOS password after trying to wipe the hard drive?

  Hi - I got a new computer and tried to erase the hard drive on my old Toshiba laptop for sale on. It is a Toshiba A-210 and is about three years old.

  I put the "settings factory restore disk" and tried to follow the instructions on the CD cover. However, the instructions don't match the options given, I did something where I thought I was wiping the HARD drive. It seemed to go ok, but when I tried to start it again, it loads a black screen type "MS-DOS" asking for a password.

  The password only I put up on the computer was for my user profile, and it's not accept that. If I try to go on without the password, the computer turns off.

  I tried Googling and it could be a BIOS password, I think, but I've never been one of these. The only suggestions I could find for fixing involved by pressing one of the buttons "F" and move to Windows, but I can't get an answer using the 'F' keys On the Toshiba site it said that I needed to have it fixed by one of their authorized places, but I don't want to spend money on it, because I was trying only to erase the hard drive before trying to sell it on or scrapping it.

  Does anyone have any suggestions? My hard drive was erased? There is nothing really confidential there, but I like it as clear as possible, I really don't mind if its working, I would consider it breaks to pieces.

  Hello Katy

  After reading your thread I don't understand what you've done to lock your computer.
  Still is it BIOS password cannot be set by mistake.

  When the BIOS password to settle should be written twice before, it will be activated.

  What to do now? Is that the BIOS password can be deleted by a combination of keys or something simple. BIOS password is the most important safety feature and must offer the maximum protection of the BIOS.
  You can sell your laptop without HARD drive too. On eBay, I saw many laptops that will be offered without HARD drive for data protection reasons. HARD drive can be exchanged for less money and it is not so important hardware component.

  In the history I see a problem only: BIOS password. You can offer a little cheaper laptop and the new owner can pay for password removal.

  It is not easy to give you the right answer. I just want to be a little more realistic.

• How to install a second operating system on a partition on the same hard drive under xp?

  Hello!.. How can I install a second operating system on a partition on the same hard drive under xp?... Thanks in advance!

  With the elders the older operating systems, in this case 98, has prior installation.

  Is that of Vista as soon as it does not matter what operating system is installed first to do a dual boot.

  With Vista, you can then install XP as the second installed the operating system in a dual boot.

  But this isn't like you do is 98 or XP...

  See you soon.

  I don't think that you can do in XP. I think that you need x 64 XP, Vista x 64 win7 x 64 or windows server x 64. As it says here

• trying to erase my hard drive to make the space more

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  You can rarely get enough disk space to make this valid process. If your hard drive is close to full, consider an upgrade to the larger hard drive on a hard drive.  Most new hard drives are equipped with the software from your old hard drive to the new "clone" so you do not need to reinstall all your software.

• Replace HARD drive under warranty?

  This request is on your laptop L655 - 17H.

  I think my hard drive might start to fail, so I wonder if Toshiba it will replace, even if it is currently in a State of 'working '. I recently have slow downs and several boots failed, but this issue seems to have stabilized itself for now (the hard drive seems to have reconfigured the bad sectors). From my experience, once sector remapping starts to happen, things tend to come down quite quickly from there. Here are the S.M.A.R.T. data off the drive.

  Given that the threshold for sectors reassigned on this player is 36 (until he comes in and mark it as a failed disk) and 13 of them have been used in such a life short (less than 300 hours), I think the HARD drive in this book can be considered to be defective.

  Would Toshiba share my view and replace the drive under warranty, or what I should expect some sort of catastrophic failure before going through the motions?

  As a side note, Toshiba does not seem to be recognizing the serial number of this laptop, which is strange.

  Thanks a lot for any input,

  Gareth

  What you read here on this forum are of different opinions, but what you need is the real answer, and you can get it from Toshiba service only guys.
  They can check your HARD drive and replace it if necessary.

  Make a call, explain the situation and hear what they think of this.

  What you need to do every day is the backup of data.
