Utility disk partition problem

• Resize Disk Partition problem

  I'm trying to remove a partition on a HARD internal disk and place the unused disk space in C: drive.  I currently have two partitions C: and D:.  The D: partition was initially used for recovery purposes, but is now empty.  The problem I have is when I go to disk Management, it's that the partition d: is located to the left of the C: partition (I guess that this was done by the manufacturer.  Therefore, even if I delete the partition to the unallocated space, I can't even extend C left since extend cannot be used after the C: partition.  I tried to use diskpart.exe, but have had no success with that either.  I tried Gparted boot disk for resize/move, but when I try to apply I get an error and nothing happens.  Any help would be appreciated.

  You will not be able to do it, because the disc was encrypted by OEM making it to prevent the violation of copyright or corruption of files. You will need a third party app to save your data and repartition the entire disk.

• Hard disk partitioning: problems with Windows 7

  I bought a new laptop with a disk drive. So I decided to partition my hard drive to use part of it as a return to the top. However, during the process of return my computer off and when I tried to put it on my Windows 7 operating system will not turn on. I guess that some of the OS files have been corrupted, some how damaged or moved. So, how can I solve this problem and get Windows running again?

  Thanks for your help!

• Windows 7 Home Basic disk partition problem

  Hey.I have a problem while creating the partition.i right click on unallocated memory... you click on new simple volume... I finished installing successfully... in the last step in the configuration... when I clicked FINISH... the next dialogue box appeared...

  DISK MANAGEMENT
  The operation you selected will convert the selected basic disks and dynamic disks. If you convert the dynamic disks, you will not be able to start the operating systems from any volume on the disks (except the current boot volume). Are you sure you want to continue?
  YES                                                          NO
  That's the problem... why this dialog box appeared?... What can I do?... I want to do a partition of disk without error... I'm not a professional... Please anyone suggest a way to overcome this problem.
                                                                               Thank you very much.
  
  
  MY EMAIL: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  You can have a maximum of 4 primary partitions. If you already have 4 of these windows will convert your drive on a dynamic volume that is NOT recommended. To resolve this issue, you must convert one of your primary partition in an extended partition. The extended partition can have many more logical drives. Windows Disk Manager is unable to do this without losing the data, but the third-party programs such as Acronis Disk Director can.

• Disk partedUtil utility command-line on ESXi disk partitioning

  Hi all

  I created the partition by using the utiliy of command-line partedUtil on ESXI in the face of error below:

  
  

  • error: "Invalid guid (0xfb). Contains non hexadecimal numbers
  • Is not a valid guid (fb). Length should be 32
  • Is not a valid guid (251). Length should be 32

  Can you advise me how to solve the problem of the partition.

  Hi Prashant.

  VMFS data warehouses can be created and deleted using the vSphere client connected to an ESXi/ESX host or vCenter Server. It is not necessary to manually create partitions by using the command line utility. For more information, see the Configuration Guide for your version of ESXi/ESX storage management.

  Resolution

  You can use the partedUtil command line utility to directly manipulate local and remote tables of partitions on the disks of SAN on ESX and ESXi.

  The partedUtil command-line is only supported for ESXi 5.x disk partitioning. The command-line utility fdisk does not work with LUN formatted with VMFS5.

  Note: This article is from the principle that a console session is available to the host ESX or ESXi, you're familiar with console management concepts and the disk, and you did backups appropriate before proceeding. For more information, see:

  Unable to connect to a host ESX using Secure Shell (SSH) (1003807) or

  Using the Mode of Support Tech in ESXi 4.1 and 5.x ESXi (1017910).

  If you are not sure of any step, contact the VMware Support.

  For more information on the re-creation of a missing VMFS partition table using PartedUtil see: re-creating a VMFS datastore partition missing in vSphere 5 (2046610)

• ProBook 4330 s: what disk partition I can't delete without future problems

  Hello

  I need create simple disk partition, but I can't because there are four primary disk partitions - system, HP, HP Recovery and C tools. My application is which of these can I delete and keep the current functionality of victory. I don't know if HP tools is not necessary for the recovery disk and I find that the system disk are important information which are using System.

  Can I save disk tools on CD and computer HP will still work? Or is the best backup idea recovery disk? Information on the internet are different. Single site Web HP tools remove the other says delete system. But there are other sizes of this disc I have. My HP tools partition have 2.4 GB and 300 MB system.

  Thanks for the reply

  HP_Tools partition has the Diagnostics

  Recovery partition has the recovery that are accessible with a key F11 to restart Manager.

  System partition is required by the operating system

  C partition contains the operating system and is also where you store everything and run programs.

  If you have created a recovery from USB or disk set with the HP retrieve creator of media already, then you can safely remove the recovery partition. Be aware that you will lose the built in functionality to have the Recovery Manager. F11 won't do anything.

• Utility disk and MS DOS

  One of my friends asked me to try to format a 8 TB new drive he bought. He needs to FAT32 for his playstation and I think it is either running leopard or snow leopard. I've got El capitan.

  What he did:

  Initially the ability to format with MS-DOS was dimmed, he partitioned the drive into partitions of 7.9 TB and 0.1 and the ability to format to MS DOS became available, he went ahead and disk utility reported that have successfully completed. I suspect that he does not check readers reported sizes in the finder at this stage, but when he turned on his PC that reported the largest partition 1.68 TB.

  It has reconnected to the Mac and re-partioned into partitions of 2 x 4TB with much the same result.

  What I did:

  When I plugged the drive, Get info reported volumes 2 x 1.8 TB but made each utility disk volume count volumes of 2 x 4TB with 2.2 TB of space in use. I then wiped the drive and created a 8TB Mac OS volume that has been reported correctly in the finder and in disk utility. The ability to format in the MS-DOS was available on my Mac even if it was divided into a single volume of 8 TB, I am gone ahead and utility disk has reported formatting was successful but get info reported a single figure of 1.8 to.

  I tried since a 7.8/divided 0.2 TB and ended with only a volume of 1.2 to get info and 6.6 TB of space used of the CT 7.8 according to disk utility.

  The thing is every book that I try again with MS DOS I seem to get a smaller usable volume.

  I'm not familiar with the help of MS-DOS formatted, but we had problems when it restructured a 2 GB usb key that we sometimes in the past, although I suspect that he reformatted his PC. So I don't know if there is a problem with a 8 TB disk, disk utility or even its PC.

  FWIW, Microsoft has imposed a limit of 32 GB for FAT/FAT32 partitions, but it is possible to create partitions of 2 TB. I suspect that's what you see.

  You should be able to create 4 partitions of 2 TB ExFAT.

• Startup BOOTCAMP partition problems

  Hi, I've seen a few posts that are very similar to mine, but I can't seem to get to the bottom of this issue. Here's the background on what happened:

  I ran El Capitan on a single OS X partition and decided to run Boot Camp Assistant and install Windows 10 on a new partition. It worked perfectly, and I have been using Windows and start back. So, I decided that I would create a new partition for easy sharing files between the 2 BONES using a Fat-32 file system so that the two operating systems can have read/write access. I did it with the disk sideways utility Mac and everything seemed to go smoothly. Also, I don't touch my BOOTCAMP partition, but took all the space for the new partition on the side Mac. Everything seemed fine... until I tried to start again under BOOTCAMP. Now this partition is not recognized as bootable, but it is accessible from the side Mac and everything seems intact.

  I ran the command diskutil list and here is the result:

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  My theory was that because the BOOTCAMP partition moved from 4 to 5, this confused sort of things. I decided that I loved not more to have the shared partition, so I erased it. Then I tried to delete this partition, but I am unable to do by using normal mode or recovery disk utility. I tried to disassemble and then delete in both modes. I scoured the internet looking for a solution and I am completely stuck. This seems like it should be a super simple solution, but it is frustrating that I can't understand it. I don't think that I've damaged or corrupted something and I just need to be able to start in Bootcamp.

  Help, please!

  Thanks in advance!

  Still have not solved this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

• Satellite A300-1J1 - resize hard disk partitions

  Hello, a little long but need the expert advice from you guys.

  Recently, I bought the laptop above with a 250 GB hard drive. It comes preinstalled with 3 partitions as follows:

  1.5 GB: hidden partition Toshiba System Recovery
  116 F: (C :)) System Partition of Windows Vista)
  GB 116: (E) Toshiba System Recovery Image file

  My understanding of pass briefly on these forums, the hidden partition houses the mini operating system that controls the real Windows recovery and Image file contains data extracted and installed on the C:? If I'm wrong please let me know!

  Anywyay, the problem I have is that I prefer to have all available space mapped in the C:, rather than on the E:. I tried to use the disk management utility to shrink and then expand the partitions, but it wont let me c (I guess it is the system partition, maybe?). I also tried to use the Diskpart.exe program, but to no avail.

  The plan I have is to create the recovery disks two DVDs of the utility from the desktop icon.

  Copy all the data recovery of E: (approximately 5 GB worth) off the coast of the laptop temporarily.

  Manually by using a 3rd party utility drive partition, delete C: and E: and then set the partitions c: = 224GB and E: = 6 GB.

  Via the recovery DVD, restoration of Windows Vista in the C:.

  Copy all the data recovery back on E: to nowdays fill it and keep it for any future recoveries from disk rather than the DVD.

  What I need to know is, is it as simple as that, or I'll run into trouble? HARD drive recovery utility still work the resized partition?

  If there are better ways to do or things to watch then please tell me how to on this subject. I would like to know if you guys did the same thing or have left as it came with 2 large partitions.

  Thanks for any answers in advance.

  Hello

  I think you can have 3 primary partitions.
  In your case if you want to create other partitions then you can choose the extended partition!

  Just for everyone here:
  Before you modify the partitions (C-system partition or E-recovery partition), you must create the Toshiba Recovery DVD.
  So if something goes wrong with you, HARD drive, system, either, you should be able to restore the operating system from the Recovery DVD!

  So before you change the partitions-> burn the recovery DVDs!

• El Capitan utility disk first aid fails - unable to unmount the volume for repair

  Question: Given the following error with Disk Utility first aid and success with diskutil check volume, I should consider my drive damaged or volume?

  After a crash of the system on my Mac mini (end 2012) running that OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 has experienced a kernel panic induced by the adapter USB Wi - Fi, I dutifully ran first aid utility disk on each volume on the disk, in order to ensure the integrity of system files.

  Additional information: I didn't have any problems with this disk volume. I use it only as a Time Machine backup destination. It is an encrypted volume OS X Extended (respect for case-sensitive). My concern involves only disk utility complaint that its "first aid process has failed."

  After reading the complaints in other forums that utility disk on El Capitan has been "dumbed down" and can not perform many of the functions that the utility of the same name used to be able to perform in previous versions of Mac OS (complaints, I can't confirm because I'm relatively new to MacOS - although extremely in computing with Windows, UNIX and Linux) (, so I didn't get to use disk utility a lot, before El Capitan), I decided to do the same "check the volume" that I knew first aid was trying to perform with the diskutil command-line app.  Guess what? No error!:

  I think you might be able to do a repair of first aid, after you have disassembled the drive first:

  1. Run OS X by an external device (ex: USB mode, or external hard drive or disk target from another Mac)
  2. Launch the Terminal and run the following command umount f /Volumes/ (ex: umount f/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD)
  3. Then run disk utility first aid.

  I had this problem on a Macbook Air, I tried to recreate the image to work, so I didn't need to get anything off the drive. I tried to format the drive and reinstall OS X. So I don't know if first aid work after disassembly, but it worked without a doubt after that I did the first two steps above and then deleted from the disk. Not sure if this will help, but worth a try, I guess.

• Satellite Pro A210 1AZ Disk Partitions

  Hello

  Hope someone can explain to me. We have two Satellite Pro A210 1AZ identical machines, Windows Vista Home, 120 GB of disk. They have two partitions on the disk in the computer. C: Vista is 56.2 GB and data E: is 54.0 GB. I guess there are other accounts hidden for the missing 10 GB partition and I guess that is the recovery partition.

  My problem is the following. Everything written in C:, programs, Documents etc., and it is more or less complete. The E: is not used. Why is there an E: partition? Why not a single 110GB C:?

  I know that I can copy files on the E: partition but trying I find annoying. My wife doesn't understand anything on the partitions, folders and files and just wants everything to be where you expect it to be - in Documents or photos. Seems reasonable.

  What can I do to get rid of the E: thing and have just a large C:?

  NB - I have no interest is messing around with the PC, I want to just use it and forget about it.

  Thank you

  Fred

  Hello Fred

  I don't know how much experience you have with the PC, but it is usual to divide the hard driver to two or more partitions. each partition can have a different name and you can save specific data on the specific partition.

  For example, I have three partitions:
  C for the operating system
  Private D for stuff like photos, movies and mp3 files and
  E for Business stuff

  Anyway, if you want to have a (the ability of the entire HARD disk) partition, you can delete second partition and expand the C partition to use any HARD drive capacity.
  Open Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management.

  In the left pane, under storage category, click on disk management
  Now select and right mouse button click on the partition that you want to change.
  In the context menu, you will see options to extend, reduce or remove the partition. Select the option you want.
  If your 2nd partition is empty, you can remove the 2nd partition, and then expand the 1st partition to use the freed up space.

  So to learn more about the bits and bytes please http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT7301UY001JR01.htm

  Bye and good luck!
