Windows 7 disk management utility does not allow for creating simple volume: maximum number of partitions exceeded error

I am trying to create a new partition in Win7 using the disk management utility. Shrank lecteurC existing to create unallocated space. Am not able to create a simple volume with this space unallocated due to the following error message.

"You cannot create a new volume in this unallocated space because the disk already contains the maximum number of partitions".

How to fix this or go around with another method to create partitions?

Hello

You will need to convert the dynamic disk before creating the extra partition. To do this in disk management:

-Right-click the disk 0 (gray area) which indicates the total size of your hard drive

-Select 'convert to dynamic disk.

Once you have converted to dynamic disk, you will be able to go and create the new simple partition.

I hope this helps.

    Hello

    I used the Windows 7 disk management utility to reduce my about 450 GB C drive at about 210 GB. While I try to convert the volume unallocated resulting in a new simple volume, it fails with an error message indicating the space is insufficient on the disk (s) to complete the operation. The original disc was almost empty, while I performed the shrink operation. What is the problem here?

  • Can I allow an application for one person on my family share but does not allow for each other?

    Can I allow an application for one person on my family share but does not allow for each other?

    You can't delegate who has access and who doesn't have access to the applications. You can lock devices with age restrictions, so only items appropriate age are at their disposal. Or you can hide your list purchases. The purchased app can then be displayed when you want to share with someone else, then be hidden again once the application is downloaded on their device.

    I hope this helps.

  • Cannot import the EXHD catalog to new mac error message: Parent folder does not allow for files to be created in the breast of this

    I have an old mac in 6 years that the battery exploded so I bought a new mac (Macbook Pro 13, 2015, running OS X El Capitan). I have an external hard drive that I backed up my LR5 the catalog and raw files on my old Mac. On my new mac, I have my EXHD plugged and the LR5 (of membership cloud of Adobe) running. I'm sailing LR5 to open the catalog on my EXHD do, essentially, on all my edits on my photos on my new computer. I get the attached message that it does not bc the parent folder does not allow for files to be created in the breast of the it.

    What should I do?

    Old mac still works so I was wondering if I could try to save the catalog on a USB (its about 4 GB) and rather than the new mac. Or try to save the EXHD catalog in a different way or something.

    Thank you very much!

  • T610 with Windows Embedded 7 - the system does not license for the operating system image

    Hello community,

    I bought a refurbished computer ThinClient T610 that is running a Windows 7 Embedded English. The label on the package says, that the computer ThinClient is allowed with W7E. When I now run Easy Tools installed on the computer ThinClient hp to create a USB Image with the German language, everything works fine: the image is downloaded from the web and put on the stick.

    But after you start the stick, the installation program tells me: "the system does not license for the operating system image. What I am doing wrong? The BIOS is already the latest.

    Or y at - it another way to transform the operating system in German? There should be an option to download additional languages, but this particual window has no other options. And I have not found any manual way to download other languages.

    Concerning

    Michael

    Sometimes it can be so easy... ;-)

    So here's my solution:

    1. go on the Web for hp Support site

    2. go in the software and driver download

    3. set the language of driver on the language of your choice (in fact: it was the main problem)

    4. download an operating system image

    5. run the configuration tool and copy the image of an operating system on a flash drive

    6. restart the workstation and install the os

    7. take advantage of your computer ThinClient in the language of your choice

    I don't know, why the hp Easy Tools downloaded the image of evil, but with this solution, that I find myself at the same point, as if they did.

  • Country does not allow for electronic signatures

    I'm looking for more information about how to manage the agreements in countries that do not allow for electronic signatures.  How they are followed when you want to have printed, signed and mailed in.

    Hello

    The short answer is that the customer or the signatory must print and sign the document, and then either scan / email / fax to the sender; Download the sender and then to the document to save in EchoSign.

    In most counties, while electronic signatures are up to debate the legalities, scanned, or copies of documents by fax can be authenticated are accepted everywhere.

  • Pavilion 14-n204sf: Radeon 8670 current driver does not allow for color management

    Hi, this is my first post on the forum. The problem, I do face is quite simple: after I've updated 8670 M Radeon driver for my computer in August I immediately found that color management system was not working. Cannot use an ICC profile, impossible to calibrate a monitor (I tried X-Rite and the built-in Windows, both failed tool), any feature dealing with color management had simply disappeared from my machine and was replaced by an error message - aaargh!

    At the time I found that all the problems have disappeared as soon as I rolled back the Radeon driver to the previous (IE. July 2015) pilot and learned how Windows 10 not not trying the upgrade of this driver more. Of course, the problem was caused by a major bug in the new driver, but a simple tunraround should just continue to use the previous driver. So far so good.

    But now things have only become worse. Due to a problem with a software, I tried to find the current driver Radeon, which turned out to be the dreaded August version, with the result the same mess as before. When I tried to roll back this driver again for the July version working, I had the very bad surprise as (1) "Roll back driver" in the control panel is gray now as if there was no previous version, and (2) it is not possible to find the version of June on the website of HP - or elsewhere also.

    So: How/where can I get the driver of 8670 M Radeon dated July 6, 2015, so I can use my computer for my work in photography again? I can't believe that it is not possible.

    And of course, I have a second question: how is it that no new version of the driver has been released since August to set a such obvious flaw? I hope that someone will take the time to solve the problem and deliver a pilot fully working soon.

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.

    HI @jlb21,

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    I understand that when you install the graphics driver updated for Radeon 8670 M in August you have lost your color management system did not work.  Once you cancelled the driver in the device manage everything was good again.

    Because of a software problem, you must reinstall this driver. When you checked the Device Manager there is only the version of the driver available August and you do not have a roll back driver option.

    You can try to uninstall the driver and then search for the driver, try a Windows driver if available to determine if it would help.

    As you have 10 Windows installed I don't know if you still have the recovery partition. If not and you have recovery media, you can try following the steps described in the following document.

    Computers HP - using Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 8)

    If the driver in question was provided with your original operating system and you have no support for recovery, you can get a kit of HP support recovery.    You can ask if they can check if all drivers have been updated on the recovery kit that I don't know.  I don't know if they can verify this information, but it does not hurt to ask?

    Please contact HP to Contact HP Supportassistance.

    Please let me know the results.

  • Want to reinstall XP but the computer does not recognize the cd drive and does not allow for any installation.

    Accidentally deleted some system files and now the computer won't allow me to install anything. Tried to install a new cd player to replace a corrupt, but it does not recognize drive. All the driver and OS install CD. Help.

    Fix missing files:

    Try to run the checker system (CFS) files.  Press start, select run, type: SFC/scannow

    SFC will ask your installation disc (which you must have if you are going to re - install), put it in the drive when requested.  Leave the SFC to replace all missing or corrupt files.

    To resolve the startup problem:

    Check your BIOS Setup and make sure the optical drive is enabled and listed before the hard drive in the boot order.  When you start, there will be a message, "type any key to boot from the CD-ROM."  Type any key (execpt shift, shift caps lock, NumLock, etc) will cause the CD to be initialized in the installation program.  (I use the space bar, it's an easy target.)

    In addition, it would be useful to know a few more things: 1) what edition and service pack level of Windows XP you are running?  (2) what is the model and manufacturer of the optical drive, please?

  • Why windows 7 (64 bit) download does not work for a hp officejet 5610 all-in-one?

    I changed operating systems from XP to Windows 7 (64 bit) on a new Toshiba Portege laptop and downloaded the new drivers from the HP site for my all-in-one Officejet 5610.  Nothing went well.  I can print but not scan, and often copy is extremely slow for no apparent reason.

    I deleted the driver downloaded several times and re-uploaded to start from scratch, but get the message "Fatal error during installation."  I used HP correction for this, did everything it says and ran the download as an administrator.  When the "USB connection" screen, I connect the USB as requested, and I hear my computer accepts this connection.   But the HP installer does not accept or acknowledge inserting the USB key.  It hangs at that time here, and keeps installation disc FOREVER chasing the USB connect screen.

    When I open the HP Solution Center, he informs me that he cannot work because the download of device is not complete.

    There is no file 'help' in the menu 'start '.

    I'm running out of ideas on how to make my printer work properly with the new Windows 7 system.

    Someone at - it suggestions?

    In the case where you hear the ding that the USB cable is connected and that the software does not recognize it, it means that at any given time you connected to the computer via the USB port before running the software. When you do so, Windows takes over and tries to install their own drivers. That causes problems later, when you try to use the software, as it will then not connect when you use the USB cable.

    In this case, you must connect via the usb port and go into Device Manager and remove everything related to your printer. After you do this, unplug the USB cable and restart your computer. When starting BACK, run the software FIRST and then when he asks the USB cord this time, it should recognize the connection.

    I had hoped that by solving your NET 3.5 issue, that the error (the authorization it says NET v2) would leave. If you think back to Live Mail 2009 will help to solve your problem, then try this. Or we could chisel following the failure of NET 3.5 and see if that brings a solution.

    I have not seen the error 'shared the canvas' associated with Live Mail, so I'm not sure if this is related to another application that does not play well w/WLM or participated in the recent update to WLM 2011.
