Why I can't make a new partition of hard drive on Windows 7?

In disk management, when I click with the right button on my hard drive and try to reduce it, an error message comes up saying:

"The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices is associated to him.

I tried to restart the virtual disk service, but that no longer works.

You could try the following, and then try again:

Click Start
Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
Click on "Run as Administrator"
At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

This will check for any breach of integrity

Restart your system

or you can use EaseUs

EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition - http://download.cnet.com/Easeus-Partition-Manager-Home-Edition/3000-2248_4-10863346.html

------------------------

Proceed with the installation of Easeus:

Click Next, follow the easy on-screen instructions.

Once the installation is finished, click on finish

Click go to the main screen

Select the drive you want to resize in partition window

Drag the button until you have an amount of disk space to install Windows 8 desired, then release. In the above screenshot, I allocated 19 GBs of disk space.

Click on apply to apply the changes that you just made.

Click Yes

Click Yes

Your computer will restart several times and changes will be made to the layout of the partition, this process is hands-free, so no interaction is required.

  • I can't get my new WD external hard drive to work with Time Machine.

    My Seagate 1 TB external hard drive, connected to my Airport Extreme, use the USB port, was completed (it stores up to 3 1 iMac and MBP), so I bought a Western Digital 2 TB hard drive to replace it. I formatted correctly, connected to my MBP, then connected to the Airport Extreme. When I opened the time Machine, it didn't appear. By selecting "Set up the new TimeCapsule" open Airport utility. By clicking on the router button gave me change. By clicking on the "Record" button showed my new hard drive. The "setup" button is grayed out, unless I unchecked and double-checked all of the options. He warned me that I would be offline for a while, but it did nothing; My wife MBP and MBP my son not a never lose their connection to the internet, and I lose mine, either.

    My Mac guy, who never met a problem he couldn't fix it, is puzzled. So I am. We tried all the usual ideas, restart my MBP, restart the Airport Extreme, reformat the external hard drive, with different numbers of partitions (and Yes, I chose the GUID), but we can not simply Time Machine to connect with the hard drive. It is a Western Digital My Passport Ultra. This external hard drive is not compatible with Time Machine?

    What version is your AE? Backup is supported only on the sector of Tower model.

    You are self feeding Ultra Passport? It really must be external powered... or plugged into a powered hub.

    My passport readers have been consistent in the past... but sometimes strange things... That is, they can change the USB chip without warning, resulting in questions. The USB hub can help.

    There is also something... Plug the USB key into one of your computers and start backup TM on this... proceed very long... but we need to start... Cancel backup... and then plug it into AE and see what happens.

  • Creation of new Partitions of hard drive

    I just bought HP Probook s 4530 with 500 GB HARD drive. The problem is that this machine has only a single partition and two partitions of system. The only partition is more than 480 GB and it has Windows installed on it.

    Now, I want to create multiple partitions without harming the windows partition. What is the safest way to resize the windows partition. Second, if I create the partitions I still would be able to use the recovery options?

    How can I manage my HD space safely without losing the recovery options or make my warranty null.

    Your recovery feature does work as expected after changing the partitions. Burn your DVD recovery set before changing the hard drive.

  • partition on hard drive for windows vista Ultimate edition

    Hello iwant to repartition my HDD = 160 gigabytes to install windows vista ultimate on it so I would like to know how to make the partition (C) for windows vista ultimate

    You can decide yourself what size you want, superior to the minimum required by Microsoft, which is 40GBs (which is too little, in my opinion)

    Use the whole 160GBs as I already advised you, or decide for yourself!

    Those are your choices.

    Running windows xp, how to extend my disk partition to include the unallocated space?

    Marie-Laure,

    I noticed that Symantec has stopped Norton Partition Magic 8.0.

  • How can I access files on my external hard drive with windows 7 OS, when I attach it to a computer with windows vista?

    When I try to change the permissions, I get an error message: error security application. An error has occurred applying security infromation to root: root, \boot: \bootmgr, root: \System Volume Information access is denied.

    When I open windows Explorer, it shows only startup records and not the user records. All suggestions will be useful. Thank you

    Hi, MBRC,

    1. Where are you trying to change the permissions?

    I suggest that you first take ownership of the drive once you connect to the computer and check if it works.

    To take ownership of a folder

    (a) right click on the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.

    (b) click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.

    (c) click on Edit. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    (d) click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.

    (e) If you want that person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the check box Replace owner subcontainers and objects .

    (f) click OK.

    Troubleshoot "access denied" when opening files or folders

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-access-denied-when-opening-files-or-folders

    If the previous step fails, see if access you files and folders when you connect the drive to any other computer.

    I hope this helps!
