Vista Shrink volume resulted in 75 lack space volume and 0 GB unallocated space. No possibility of partition. Lost space.

I wanted to create a partition on a 150 GB internal hard drive. It is NOT the boot drive, it's the drive D. I got more than half the volume free and retractable Vista specific volume I could use up to 90 GB. I selected 75GB for the shrink.  After the SHRINK, it resulted in 75 lack volume and space 0 GB unallocated space for the partition. Volume shrinkage has returned an error and did not provide additional instructions. Unfortunately, I don't have the error message as I deleted it by mistake. It was a small error message in Shrink.

VISTA 32-bit, updates to update... I just downloaded EASEUS Partition Master and it shows I have 150 GB of total space, unused and 0 free 90 not allocated. Looks like the problem doesn't show in the view "Properties..." (75 GB of total space, 15 GB free unused).  I don't know what the file system will be used to allocate new space. I think I'll try to copy a large file and see which uses the file system...

When I look at the following:
Computer management, storage,... disk management it says I have: Simple, Basic, disk 1, disk Local (d) 150 GB, NTFS, healthy (Primary Partition). (NO unallocated space appears on this menu)

When I look at the properties of the D: drive:
Local disk (d :)) 75 GB of capacity.

I just lost 75 GB! Help...

I don't know what happened. Shrink did not partition instructions... The space is lost forever?

When you shrink a volume you create unallocated space which should appear in computer management - I don't know why it is not appear on your system.

Maybe you can try to expand the volume to find the size of the original score (although it will wipe the data that is on the drive): http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/. (but I doubt it will work because there is no contiguous unallocated space appear).

Here is another article on how to shrink and expland a partition under Vista.  Perhaps by reading the instructions for the narrowing, you will notice something did you not (or has done, but shouldn't have).  Otherwise, extend the partition could reclaim your lost space.  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial133.html.  Yet once again, because there is no unallocated space appear, I don't know if it will work (in fact, I don't think it will be).

My best suggestion is to temporarily store the data on the disk also narrowed and then format the drive.  This should bring back to his full 150 GB and then you can try it again narrows (if you are still interested in this).

I hope this helps.

Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • living options volume and battery are grayed out.

    My wife has a dell xps m1330.  the volume and the icon of life batteries have work then dissappeared.  I looked to where you would turn on them, but they grayed.  I can't turn their back on.  How do you get them back on?

    Hi Jarynelle,
    Thanks for choosing Microsoft answers Forum.

    This problem may occur if the Windows group policy disables the power (or battery), and Volume icons, or the registry keys related to notification area icons have corrupted. To re-enable and restore policies must be turned off, and the registry keys, cleared or fixed.
    Activate the system via Local Group Policy Editor icons

    Run GPedit.msc to start local Group Policy Editor.

    Expand the tree and access Configuration user-> templates-> Start Menu and taskbar to administration.

    Change the status value the value to Disable or not configured for the following group policies allow the display or the display of the icon in the notification area.

    Volume: Remove the volume control icon

    Power (battery) icon: remove the battery meter

    Close the local Group Policy Editor.

    Restart Explorer, Log off and log back or restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
     
    User who uses Windows without Local Group Policy Editor can change the registry value via the Publisher of the registry instead.

    Turn on the system icons to display or display via the registry

    Run the registry (RegEdit.exe) editor.
    Navigate to the following registry key:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

    Delete and delete the following registry values in the right pane:
    HideSCAPower
    HideSCAVolume

    NoTrayItemsDisplay
    Then, navigate to the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    Yet once, remove all if found following registry values:
    HideSCAPower
    HideSCAVolume
    Exit Registry Editor.
    Explore and restart, logoff and connection of the output again, or reboot the computer to apply the changes.

  • lack of ndldr and loss of user data

    Help

    After a routine Canon ip8500 printer Vista install updated software, the PC has frozen in half way through. On the restart, I had the famous line "lack of ndldr".

    As the Vista disk repair option detects no problem, I found the instructions for a fix to neosmart and followed the instructions using bootrec.exe commands.  None worked.

    NOTICE: I put then the drive in another PC to try to access the programs and files, in particular Documents.  The boot partition now displays only users for Administration, by default and all, and all the folders are empty. My user ID does not show in Windows Explorer and all my files user, office computer, Documents, programs, Favorites, etc. etc. are missing. Far is all my data do not appear.   HOW can I get my 1000's of programs, data and most imporatantly Docs now. The fragility of the data user and MS OS in 2012 is unacceptable for a commercial operating system.

    All references to the support and solutions are of course welcome and very grateful, since I'm in despair.

    Hello

    first thing we put in place, it is if you did an upgrade of the SYSTEM rather than an upgrade of the software program. The difference? You have thousands of programs on your system, and they can come out with an update as much as they want. It effects nothing but that the software and how it interacts with the operating system. Now if you did an upgrade of system/OS that YES, which will erase all information on the hard drive of the facility. That's what this warning when you're about to start the upgrade.

    If you have indeed improved the OS (operating system), I hope that you took guard and backed up your important data. If so, restore your backup system returns, if this isn't... these files have disappeared. There are programs out there to recover files deleted or removed, but from personal experience, they are not not as advertised.

    In a business and personal computing are SO vital to maintain your system saved (preferably on another external hard drive) for this exact reason... of things happening. Whether through the human element, element mechanical or even sometimes the element in the environment, computer data are lost.

    If your data are parts of your 'documents', it means that you have upgraded the OS and erased from the system.

    Wish I had better news for you.

    How do I take a VISTA system which has a drive with a C and D partition and combne in C only a partition with the storage of which was C and D?

    Hello

    Make sure that D: is not the partition recovery including the manufacturer put there to make the recovery disks from and eventually to return your computer to how you bought

    You cannot combine C: and D: and their data using the Vista Disk Manager

    with Vista, you will need to save the data on D: - D: delete - and then extend C: into the now unallocated space where D: was to do a 1 partition 2
