• W7 can't format my Vista partition?

  I had Vista Home Premium on my laptop, created a new partition and install W7 on the new partition.

  I installed all the programs I need to on W7 and now you want to remove the Vista partition (C but Windows or EASEUS Partition Master Disk Manager will allow me.) The 'format' option is just grayed out. I am currently in the W7 partition (has and format the C: to merge with my data disc.)

  Any ideas as to what may be the problem?

  Disk Management window

  P.S. I have W7 to 20 GB partition. What size should be of the partition, because I put data files in the data reader and install only the programs in the drive of W7? I want to merge any extra space that I could end up with in the data drive as well because there's really no use for me to have an extra 5-7 GB, sitting in the drive of W7. I have W7 64 bit

  I do not have a set of recovery discs, but I did a hard disk image using acronis true image before I installed windows 7 on another partition

• Vista partition tool can merge a partition itself?

  I would like to delete the partition on my hard drive and then to merge part of it in my Vista partition.  I have Vista on C, my documents on D and XP on my partition of F.  I would like to delete F and then to merge half in C and the other half in D.  I can do all this in Vista's own native partitioning tools?

  Hello Prr1,

  Thank you for posting.  I did exactly that with one of my readers what you try to do it now.  So, the answer is Yes you can.  Just proceed with caution that your car has your Vista installed on it, while mine was an additional drive, I used for the storage and testing.  Both partitions are on the same physical drive you should not have any problems changing the size of partition using the Vista partitioning tool.

  Please let me know if this was helpful. Zack

  Thank you

  You should be able to (I'm virtually certain it's possible) If you have the appropriate permissions or property rights in your Vista partition to allow access of the user of Windows7 or users of Windows7.  It's the way it works with XP and Vista and I suspect that it is essentially the same thing here.  You may need to add the users to the Vista partition/folders/files in Windows7 using regardless of their process (it varies probably Vista so I won't bother posting method Vista to do).

  The best thing to do is to follow the advice of Michael Murphy and get help from experts in the Windows7 Forums.

• How to make Vista partition on the HARD drive as first with recovery CD

  Hello

  I want to format and retrieve information from my 'Vista' (C: / /) partition, which is the first. But when I choose the option "Format and recover to a first partition on your hard disk (without RE) ' the computer began to recover in" Type of Partition: windows NT NTFS (ID: 07) "whose size is only 1.50 GB.

  In the middle of the process, it shows not 'enough space on a disk.

  Question: How to make a 'vista' first partition? What is 'the first partition' in the second formatting option and recover the system?
  Thank you for your answers

  Hello

  Sorry, but you will not be able to do. I know it's a bad situation but if you use the first option that the whole HARD disk will be formatted and C new partition created. Second option, that you can not use at all. I tested it with my Satellite A100.

  I called Toshiba and they said that Toshiba work on new recovery options and new notebooks will have the best recovery option. Something like old installation expert ghost mode.

  I know it's wrong, but unfortunately there is nothing to do.

• Install Linux without risking the "Restore Windows Vista" partition! Pavilion 6540eo

  I would like to install Ubuntu on my laptop.

  But a friend of mine, earlier employed by a call to HP support, said that if I mess with the partition table, even if I do not change the recovery partition itself, I could ruin the restore function.

  If this is the case of tha then it is a problem since Linux wants to add a swap partition.

  Someone can confirm if this is true or not?

  Stefan

  Yes, this is usually the case. Only way to run the recovery partition after changing is to "Mark as active" the recovery partition and restart.

• Cannot add free space on my Vista Partition.

  So, I try to do a dual boot a bit back and decided that I did not like the other operating system, so I deleted the partition, and I now 28g of free space on the hard drive. Is there anyway to expand my C: volume. When I right click on the C: drive, "Extended Partition" is steamed up outside. Is it possible to format my free space. I even tried to create a new simple volume with free space, and he says that there is not enough space on the disk (s) to do so. Help?

  Delete a logical drive in an extended partition creates 'unallocated free space' only if you also to delete the extended partition the "logical drive" was. Now that you have removed the logical drive, you can delete the extended partition. You should probably use tools that show you more clearly what you are doing. diskmgmt.msc not do enough for you.

• How to install Vista from the recovery disk without defining partitions?

  Hello

  I have my recovery disk and I have installed a new 320 gb HHD.
  When I installed the recovery disc, it re done the 160 GB partitions in each (2 partitions more the 1 recovery partition)...

  But I want to dual boot with XP pro because of software problems and I prefer it sometimes...
  I redid my scores, 1 - 51 GB for XP pro(32bit), 2nd - 51 GB for vista (32 gb) and the 3rd - 210 gb is for storage

  How to install with Toshiba vista o/s and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disc, immediately to the 2nd partition without affecting how I configure the hard drive...

  I have about 100 GB of photos, music, and cam vids on storage, with nowhere to put them, so I can't risk, because some are copy only (so it might be a good idea to let me know how I save this s on my storage spread in the DVD please)

  If I can t, then can some1 please tell me how to get my Toshiba OEM vista off this recovery disk or a link for me?

  Hope all this makes sense lol... Thank you
  Shane

  If you have so much important material best save is to buy an external HARD drive and copy all this stuff here. I recommend buying the small 2.5 external HDD and when necessary, you can take with you and connect to any computer, if you want to view or copy this file. External hard discs connected to other computers with a supplied USB cable.

  Return to your partitions.
  When you use the original Toshiba DVD facilities, you will have 3 partitions.
  WinRE - partition and it belongs to the Vista operating system. This partition is not visible, and this isn't some sort of Toshiba recovery partition
  -C for Vista partition
  Or-d/E to the DATA in the partition. This partition is recorded recovery image in the folder called HDDRecovery
  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but this configuration is on all new Toshiba laptops shipped WITHOUT recovery media.

  Using Toshiba recovery media, you will be able to get exactly mentioned structure of the partitions. Support to recovery facilities using you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on the second partition.

  So if you want to have the dual boot with Windows XP Home edition, you can do following:
  -At first, you are going to install Vista with support of recovery and on the second partition, you are going to install your version of Windows XP Home edition
  -At first you will be installing WXP and then you can install Vista on the second partition, but you must use the Microsoft facilities drive. Recovery media can not be used.

  That's all I can say from my experience with such things.

• 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!

• Win 7 64 partitioned OS recognizes DVD but Vista 32 only

  I have a hp laptop g60-125nr. It is partitioned with two OS: Win 7 64 bit and 32 bit Vista. Of DVD LightScribe SuperMulti 8 X DVD±R/RW drive, works fine when I boot from Win 7. When I boot to Vista, I get an error 10 code "the device cannot start. I tried to delete the driver from Vista and reboot, but it does not help. It seems that the two BONES have access the same drivers in the same place, which are c:\Windows\system32\drivers\cdrom.sys and GEARAspiWDM.sys. Can anyone help?

  Mike

  Please see Microsoft Community - drive of the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM CODE 10 for possible solutions to your problem.

  Two operating systems are not the same drivers in the same place... access to, because when you boot in Windows 7, the Windows 7 partition C: drive... and when you start in Windows Vista, the Windows Vista partition becomes the C: drive. So, although it seems that both point to the same location, the partitions are renamed for use with their respective operating system.

• Recovery software data and the partition for Vista?

  I have a HP desktop computer that started having problems starting. Startup Repair couldn't fix, but showed "no OS installed. I guess it's a corrupted MBR/MBT problem.

  In any case, I made the fatal mistake assuming that Vista has the same functionality of XP restore/recovery and would simply repair the file system not complete format/reinstall. Within two seconds, I realized that it was reformatting the drive and disconnected from the computer (because you can't give up a recovery).

  Now, of course, the player starts not at all and displays "No MBR".  I removed the disk and put it in an external USB box to see the content. It only shows a new Windows and a few other folders with one or two files system in them.

  Anyway, I know that all the old data has been not overwritten in 2 seconds, if it is still there. Not to mention, HP no longer ships of installation disks of Windows and preload in place of the images in a separate partition. I need to recover this option to re - install Vista, in the worst case scenario.

  So, I need/file recovery at least get software partition all my data. There are a hundred apps out there, and it is difficult to tell which are the best (they are quite expensive). I can't find any reputable sites that do an actual test on the Soft full - for example, C/Net only tests the features of the limited demo version.

  At the very least, I would like to recover my lost data on an external drive, then recover if possible, the installation of Vista partition and do a clean install on the disk.

  Are there apps free open source reliable and easy to use? So far, I am considering

  EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Smart Partition Recovery

  You may need to contact the data recovery for it experts.

  Be warned: they are very $$$.

  Data recovery:

  Use Knoppix Live CD to try to recover your data:

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

• Do a clean install of Windows Vista 32 8.1; advice on the new partition formats.

  Hi, I'm going to do my clean install of Windows Vista 32 8.1 today.

  Need advice on the size for my new partition (s).

  Currently defined as the partitions:

  Total: free:

  OS (c                          99.7G          11.9G

  Data (D G 111, 14.5 G)

  HP_Recovery (E 12.0 G 1.97 G)

  I am running:

  Laptop HP Pavilion DV9700 Entertainment

  32 Vista Home Premium, SP1

  Basically I want a suitable partition for the new Windows OS 8.1 (more room for restore points).

  And the rest of the data area, I guess, as if I had originally.

  Does anyone have any other ideas, because I start from scratch.

  Hi davisj-oaktree.

  To remove the Vista partition, I included the following two links http://bit.ly/1dWZLLn, and http://cnet.co/1dWZQii. Please check the information on each of these websites.
