Why the HARD disk is partitioned into C & D on Satellite Pro C partition

• 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!

• How to recover files from the hard disk recovery partition?

  There are recovery (D) on the hard disk.  How can I recover all my old files and programs of this drive?

  Original title: I changed from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 operating systems.

  Hello sdf361,

  The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
  that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
  your programs since the original installation discs.

  If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.

• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

  Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
  Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• Help - need to consolidate the partitions on the hard disk after system recovery

  There are 4 partitions on my laptop Lenovo w/Vista. They are the main with the system OS etc. files partition, then an extended 9.7 GB partition labeled volume D: 98 GB of unallocated space and then finally the OEM with the recovery image section. I want to create a partition that is important as the C: volume with all that on it. The only other partition would be the volume of the OEM. Now when I try to use the unallocated space (create a simple volume with quick format) it says the operation cannot be completed because there is not enough space on the hard drive; that cannot be true because the unallocated space is 98 GB +. I got the OS to the factory setting thinking that it would be re - format the hard disk for the installation of 2 original score. No luck. I need help! We cannot add a lot of apps of software in the form of program files before the C: drive runs out of space. Help!

• Why my asus s550c have a noise on the hard disk compartment?

  Why my asus s550c have a noise on the hard disk compartment? is this normal? pls response to my question as soon as possible.

  It is not normal. According to the ASUS card, your computer has two drives, a small module SSD used as a Cache and a regular SATA 750 GB drive.

  Will the sound of the engine in the 750 GB drive, and the reader will fail in the end, maybe today, maybe tomorrow.

  The computer is slow to start? If it isn't, the noise can come from somewhere near the drive Bay, perhaps an internal cooling fan. You'd do better to check by a competent technician...

• Clone the hard disk, including Photoshop CS6, and now it works like a trial Extended CS6.  Why?

  I was running a licensed version of Photoshop CS6 on computer Dell Precision T3500 years.

  The hard disk was running out of space, so I disabled Photoshop CS6 (not uninstall), cloned successfully, all of the hard drive on a new larger hard drive, and then again CS6.  He now works as a trial Extended CS6.  Why?

  At this point, I'm not re-entered my serial number, since I did not purchase the extended version.

  I would she runs as just CS6 (not extended) and be able to activate it with the same serial number, I used before.

  (Over the years, I've updated since Photoshop CS2, in CS4, CS5, CS6 to - don't know if it matters in this case).

  Enter your serial number and your extended trial period will be converted to a full ch (not extended) when your serial number is evaluated.

• Satellite L500 - hard disk drive partitioning

  Hi all (first posting times)

  I came across a little curiosity. Bought new laptop everything installed, then loaded into all the previous laptop backup files, brilliant all work...
  But then noticed was running out of space on the hard disk (drive C)?

  Why? It is a 500 GB hard drive. So I checked. Its actually a HDD 500 gig, divided into two, also. OK, understand that, first partition is C: for all files of system etc, there is d: recovery of files (using about 8 gig) then nothing else... what a mess.

  So the question, can I do the largest C: drive by reducing the D: partition? If NOT, it would make more sense then just make another partition E: for example?

  Oooh and I will make the recovery of files from damage by doing this.

  All your advice much appreciated kind.

  If it is not broken... your cheek is not hard enough *.

  Why are you doing this so complicated? HARD drive has two partitions, and you can use all that space. Toshiba has saved the recovery image of HARD drive on the second partition, but this does not mean that you are not allowed to save your data there. You can do but just don't touch or change folder HDDRecovery. Just leave it there, or make it invisible.

  This file can be used later for the installation of HARD disk image - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
  Imagine the following situation:
  You save all your stuff on the C partition and one day for some reason you cannot boot OS and it is completely unusable. What you can do? Maybe install OS again. OK good idea, but you will lose all your important data.

  In order to better is to save all the stuff on the D partition, and if something goes wrong, you can install OS using HARD drive recovery facility. This means that C partition will be formatted and clean the OS installed on it by using the image of the D partition. The point is that any data saved to the D partition will be there and you won't lose anything.

  If you want to install the OS via recovery DVD (hopefully you have created the) the whole HARD drive will be formatted and you will lose all saved data.
  I hope you understand now how it works then think of all the important data and save it as with certain external devices too.

• Question on erasing the HARD drive and partitions

  Hi my name is Fanta and I want to sell my laptop to someone, but I want to avoid impersonation so.
  I'll use an erasure software that will wipe away my whole HARD drive until there is no data.
  This is why I would like to know if there is a recovery on my HARD drive partition ready, and if there is a partition to the HARD drive recovery.

  Wipe tool will wipe the partition on the HARD disk. If he wipe the partition will take the recovery partition and if I need the recovery partition and I don't what will happen?

  Hello

  Generally, you won't find any recovery on the HARD drive partition. The Toshiba Recovery CD should always be supplied with the device. It must be only installed the operating system with the Toshiba drivers and utilities.
  However, if the Erase tool will also clear your partition then all files and data will be deleted.

  The HARD drive will be formatted again during the installation of the OS. If you want to use partitions on the HARD disk, you can create it in addition with Magic8 Partitions. I use this app and it of very great.

• Capacity of the hard disk on the Qosmio G20-139

  I recently bought the notebook of Toshiba Qosmio g20-139, announced as having an 80 GB hard drive. Check the properties of the drive C: I think capacity is 69.8 GB. And in the properties of the device, it gives the Volume 71547 MB (I presume it's 71,547 GB).

  Does anyone can ease my mind explaining to me why I have not been 'ripped off '?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I'm not 100% sure but I think this part of the HARD disk is not partitioned and it comes preinstalled Qosmioplayer. This player doesn't need all the space, but if recording on this drive is available, I presume that this registered program is also recorded on this unpartitioned part.

• Equium P200D - Question about running out of space on the HARD disk

  First of all, let me say that I am a Silver Surfer and don't know much about how works laptop or where it stores information!
  I don't am not in the least HI - TEC so please be gentle with me.

  I use an older Equium P200d for 1 year with two 40 GB hard drives each.
  My C drive has only 2 GB of memory left available while my E drive still has 30 GB.

  I have only 3.7 GB of programs loaded (according to the research of control panel) and I know that I have 4 GB of music.

  My query is - where is the other 30 GB missing?

  I made the Scandisc option and deleted all the stuff from there and a defragmentation procedure.

  Y at - it searches I can run to find junk I have more need?

  Any advice you can offer would be appreciated.

  Hey Buddy

  If you are using Vista, then you should consider that Vista creates an additional partition on the HARD drive.
  It s hidden and it contains backup files in order to repair the operating system if something goes wrong.

  In addition HARD drive must also contain HARD drive recovery files (image).
  These files are required to recover the laptop HARD drive.

  So the hidden partition and the recovery of HARD drive that could be the main reason why you noticed smaller amount of space available on the HARD disk

  See you soon

  Thank you for posting a copy of a report of chkdsk on your C partition select Start, run, type "cmd" without the quotes in the box and press ENTER. Type chkdsk, and then press the ENTER key and a report, stating, among other things, a summary of how disk space is used, is provided. If you want a report on a partition or one drive other than C, you need to go to this partition. To access F, where F is the required partition you type F: and press the ENTER key.

  Copies of the reports from a command prompt can be tricky. Right click and select mark. This allows to highlight the selected text, and then click on copy. You will then open Word, Notepad or similar file, right click and paste. The selected text transfers your Clipboard to open the file. You can paste directly into a response message to the majority of the forums.
