Unable to reduce the size of the partition

Original title: size minimum SSD of Partition of Windows 7

I have windows 7 Ultimate.  I upgraded my SanDisk SSD 960 GB from a HD storage device.  I reloaded windows 7 on SSD.  Once which was finished, I tried to partition the SSD drive in three sections of 310 GB each. I opened the editor/partition Manager Windows and shrink selected by 610 GB SSD.  I couldn't do the frist of 450GB shrink who left the first main drive at about 480 GB.  I know that the numbers add up to 960 GB but it is what has been shown.  I'm not able to reduce the small first partition (C).  What must I do to reduce the first hard drive to a smaller size (windows OS) located on this section?

  • Unable to reduce the virtual disk (Linux RHE 5.4) with converter standalone 4.0.1

    I recently did a V2V with VMware Converter 4.0.1 to move a virtual machine running Linux Red Hat Enterprise VMware Server 2.0 on ESX 3.5 5.4.

    I was surprised to be unable to change the size of the partition. I have a 20 GB partition but only 3 GB is used. So I would reduce it to have a 5 GB partition.

    How can I change the size of partition? I know with Windows, it works well, why with Linux can not do the same?

  • All of a sudden, the page to 'save' occupies all of my screen and I can't find a way to reduce its size - this has never happened before, which is very annoying

    When I click on 'save' the resulting dialog box fills the entire screen. I'm unable to reduce its size with the mouse to shoot within the borders of the dialog box, and I can't find another way to reduce it. This problem appeared spontaneously. He did not begin immediately after installing a new plug-in or a new version of Firefox - it just happened one day. I have used Firefox for years and never had this embarrassing problem before.

    This is the dialog box that appears to save the Page under? Like other windows, it could be maximized/restored by double-clicking the title bar. Does make a difference?

    Otherwise, it might be necessary to rename or delete the localstore.rdf file, which stores the positions of windows and related settings...

  • Satellite A350: How to change the size of the partitions on the HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have a Satalite A350 with a 250 G, but for some reason hard drive any, that it has been partitioned with 114 for the C drive and a huge 114 for drive E g which is simply the recovery disc. I'm now at 20 g on the C, but still have a Virgin 100 g on the e.

    I guess that my computer has been incorrectly partitioned, and I know that I can reduce the E but this will increase the C?
    See you soon
    pixxyco

    Hello

    AFAIK, you can reduce the partitions in managing disks (Vista and Win 7).
    But if you reduce the E partition so the free space would be available after the E partition and you will not be able to add this free space on the C partition, which is placed behind the E partition.

    But maybe a tool of partitions 3rd third party could help you

    It is a great free tool called Gparted.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/can-i-have-more-than-one-operating-system-on-my-computer-multiboot

    If your hard drive has enough free disk space, you can install a newer version of Windows on a separate partition and keep the earlier version of Windows on your computer. It's called a multiboot or dual-boot configuration. Every time that you start your computer, you can choose which version of Windows to run.

  • How to use the partition instead of group by?

    Hello

    I'm unable to use the partition by clause in the following cases,

    the column with null values other_number contains 10 records in 'une_table '.
    5 records where the date 01/11/2009, item_code = 1
    5 records where the date 01/10/2009, item_code = 2

    This query returns all of the records of 10, (which assume back 2)
    SELECT count (a.anumber) on (partition TO_char(a.some_date,'MM'), a.item_code) AS i_count, a.item_code,.
    TO_char (a.some_date, 'MM')
    Of une_table
    WHERE to_char (a.some_date, 'yyyy') = 2009
    AND a.other_number IS NULL


    Works great if I wrote like this,
    SELECT count (a.anumber) AS i_count, a.item_code,.
    TO_char (a.some_date, 'MM')
    Of une_table
    WHERE to_char (a.some_date, 'yyyy') = 2009
    AND a.other_number IS NULL
    TO_char(a.some_date,'MM') group, a.item_code

    How to use partition of in this case?

    Hello

    Almost all of the aggregate functions (the ones you use in a GROUP BY query) have analytical equivalents.
    You seem to have already discovered that, regardless of the values returned by
    a comprehensive funcition using ' GROUP BY x, y, z "can also be found
    an analytical function by using "PARTITION BY x, y, z".

    Aggregate queries to collapse the result set.
    The COUNT aggregate function:

    SELECT    deptno
    ,         COUNT (*)   AS cnt
    FROM       scott.emp
    GROUP BY  deptno
    ;
    

    indicates how many 14 employees are in each of 3 departments.
    The fact the analytical COUNT function:

    SELECT    deptno
    ,         COUNT (*) OVER (PARTITION BY deptno)   AS cnt
    FROM       scott.emp
    ;
    

    but the first query produces 3 production lines, the second query produced 14.
    You could get 3 rows of output using the analytical function and SELECT SEPARATE , but it is inefficient.

    Which should you use? As with many other things, the answer depends on what data you have and what results you want from this data.
    If you want has collapsed of results (one line per group), it is an indication of striong you'll want features global, not analytical.
    If you want a row of output for each row in the table, it is a strong indication that you'll want to analytical functions.

    If you have a specific question, ask. Post some sample data and the results desired from this data, as Rob has said.

    There is another important difference between the aggreate and analytical functions: analytic functions can easily be restricted to a window , or a subset DataSet. It's something like a WHERE clause and a WHERE clause applies to the entire request: a condition of wondowing applies only to a single line.
    If you need calculate a SUM of lines with a previous of this line order_date , or an average of last 5 lines, then proabably you want to use the analytical function.
