Re-partition Disk: Disk Is Split Into 2 Partitions, Vista (C:)
Mar 29, 2008My Disk is split into 2 partitions, Vista (C: ) and Data (E, each is about 70 Gb. I do not use the Data partition. I want to delete it and allow Vista(C to use all 140 Gb. The Help pages suggest that if I delete (or reduce the size of) "Data", the free space becomes unallocated? Can I repartition the disk to allow Vista C: to acces all 140 Gb?

Feb 2, 2010OS is Vista 64 Home Premium
My problem is this, i have 4 partitions on my hard-drive; on Drive C are all the user accounts which have their own security settings, but when I try to move my Documents folder to drive E (or any of the Drives) using the 'Move' tab on folder properties, although it still shows as a sub-directory of my user name anyone can access it on the other drive (but they can't on Drive C)
If that all makes sense, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Installed Vista Twice In Separate Disk Partitions On The Same PC?
Mar 26, 2008Has anybody installed Vista twice in separate disk partitions on the same PC? I've been successfully running multi-boot with 2 XPs and a Vista on 1 PC. There's plenty info about on how to do that. Now I'm going to separate all XP installs onto 1 PC, and all Vista installs onto another PC. Will this make life easier? So I'll be running Vista Home Premium twice on 1 PC. One install will be for production use, and the other for testing.

Diferent Types Of Cooling

So i want to find out the best cooling solution apart from water cooling as i don't really want that much maintenance, is there anything different i can use or is that the only thing i can use for best results.

View 9 Replies View RelatedRequier Disk Space Folder Not Deleted
May 19, 2009I use Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I'm unable to delete a temporary folder on C:. This folder was used by an application to create an ISO file. If the job had succeeded the app deletes the temp file. I was forced to kill the job due to lack of disk space, so the folder was not deleted. In an account with Administrator privileges (not the hidden admin account), I ran the following commands in an elevated command prompt. Due to failure to delete higher folders, I am down at the lowest folder in a branch, "Documents", which is an empty folder. I would be grateful for any advice
C:vuimount5165804536UsersAdministrator>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 846E-81AE

You can see from the dialog that the "del" command silently failed to delete the empty folder, "Documents".
Free Upgrade Disk Deleted OEM Recovery Partition?
Jul 19, 2009I have an old machine i am giving away and decided to use the free upgrade disk sent to me back in 2007. It installed fine and I got SP1 on it and cleaned it up. After everything was done I noticed the E-Machines recovery partition was wiped. Is this because I now have the Vista upgrade disk with the # on that for the COA? Not the sticker on the machine.....I had to activate it with the # on the upgrade disk. I can't figure out why it would wipe the recovery partition with the factory XP image on it. Will this disk work if the next owner needs to do an install? Have you heard of this happening with OEM upgrade disks?

View 3 Replies View RelatedMerge All Three Partitions Of HD?
Oct 23, 2009Having two internal hard drives, and an Esata backup drive, gives me 9 partitions [including Recovery] and none of the drive letters are in sequence of make sense. It is very confusing. I asked this forum once if I should set the drive names but was advised to avoid the possible confusion with programs. I originally wanted to keep vista pure on one drive, and everything else in the easily copied data drive. But most programs give you no installation option, and they get "jammed" into C drive. Using the lastest PartitionMagic, do I dare "copymerge" the data partition into the Vista partition [ignoring dups for the moment] and then delete the data partition and that totally useless recovery partition? And have one large drive? [or three, actually]

Manage Vista Partitions - REALLY ?
Nov 12, 2007OK, I've been on this quest for two days now, searching all over the internet. I wonder if ANY body has the answer.
The other day my new computer (Dell Inspiron) came with a 320 gig HDD. Yes, it has the annoying EISA configured partition of 55 MB (EDIT 11/15 just caught mistake, edited from GB to MB) but that's not the big issue.
Another partition is Drive C and allocated with 288 GB and has the OS on it. Only 22.9 GB being used.
The last partition with 10 GB is drive D (recovery).
I want to take a BIG piece out of the C partition and create new partitions.
Using EITHER the Disk Managment tool OR diskpart.exe I am ONLY allowed to shrink C by 128 GB. So after using either, C is 159 GB and the new partition is 128 GB. And many reports around the internet say gparted don't work neither.
I want C to be around 30 GB - 50 GB
Sure I could BUY Partition Magic 8.0 for $70, but this is ONE TIME reallocation. That's a little pricey for a one time shot and I do not support Symantec.
Hard Drive Partitions
May 31, 2009After many years of faithful service the CD bootable version of Partition Magic 8.0 has become obsolete when it comes to drives that have been touched Vista 64-bit and Windows 7?! I get the Partition Magic "Error 105" and it quits. In fact, Windows 7 will not install correctly on a Primary partition setup by Partition Magic. Anyway, the partitioning and formatting capability in Vista and Windows 7 gets the job done. I have just one question - how do I set up an extended partition or is that a thing of the
past too?
Merge Two Partitions Back Together?
Sep 6, 2008so I have a vista partition about 122 gigs more or less and a linux partition which is 30 gigs more or less...I want to merge the linux partition with vista without losing anything on my vista partition. How would I go about doing so? I know I have to format the linux partition thats fine but I do not want to format the vista partition... Or if possible can I give my linux partition 30 more Gigabytes then format it and install another os on it? Again I do not want to format my vista partition.

May 30, 2009It seems today is my day for asking goofy questions
My windows 7 dual boot OS is the one I use to play all my games now, which by the way, I did not know this would be the case, hence, why I only made it about 40 GBs, leaving the Vista partition the bigger of the two.
Well, it has come time to install, yet, another game but I only have about 5 GBs left and the game needs 10GBs to install. Sure, I could uninstall the other 2 games I have already installed but, I am only half way done with them.
Anyways, I have plenty of space on my Vista partition and I would like to know if Acronis Disk Director is as easy to use as I have read. Aside from this, do I need to be worry about loosing any info (images, documents, etc, etc) on my Vista OS once I start the process or should I stop worrying so much.
Reinstalling : 2 Unknown Partitions
Jun 27, 2008Posted to: microsoft.public.windows.vista.general + microsoft.public.windows.vista.installation_setup Follow-up to: microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
Hello from France. Here is my problem of the day... I just put a new, 160 Go hard disk in my Dell Inspiron laptop. Then, following Dell's instructions as found on a flyer that came with the machine, this is what I did :
1. install Dell's "For Reinstalling Dell Media Direct 3" DVD
2. install Vista
3. finish with "For Reinstalling Dell Media Direct 3"
At stage 2 I choose to have C: at 50 Go, leaving the rest to D: Once Vista was installed, I found that D: had yet to be formatted, which I did. Now, as I take a look at the system, I find that there are in fact 4 volumes: - one is 47 Mo -"Type :" basic -"Statut :" Sound (Configuration EISA) ; this one can't be touched
- second is 2,01 Go - "Type :" basic - "Statut :" Sound (Principal partition) ;
this one can be deleted.......
Recovery Partitions Keep Or Delete?
Mar 25, 2009Most new computers are shipping without installation CDs. You can make "recovery CDs" with the manufacturers included wizard. Can you do clean installs with these? What are you doing with your recovery partitions? As you start dual-booting Vista and Windows 7 what is the best thing to do with the recovery partition? Is it worth keeping? My recovery partition is to the left of the Vista partition....so can I even use this space without doing a clean install and deleting with the install disk?
View 8 Replies View RelatedInstall Hardrive With No Partitions
Feb 26, 2009I had recent problems with my computer, so I was forced to do a full re-install of vista. I rebooted my computer, booted up the vista home premium x64 cd, and when I got to the screen where I had to choose a hard drive to install vista on, I ran into a problem. First, I tried to format the drive, wanting a clean restart, and got an error saying vista could not format the partition on disk 0( I have 1 hardrive with no partitions) The drive was cleared though, it updated the screen saying that it had 1000gb/1000gb free. I figured all was well. So I continued and tried to install vista and got an error saying that "Windows could not format a partition on disk 0. The error occured while preparing the partition slected for installation". Setup then immediatly stopped.
I tired forming new partitions, deleting the partitions, but nothing helped. I tried the load drivers option at the hardrive select screen and tried every disc that came with my computer, but it kept saying it cant find the driver. I read on the microsoft website that I might need to provide the correct drivers for the hard disk controller. But I cant find it. I have a hitachi Ultrastar A7K1000 *SATA* hardrive model no HUA721010KLA330. I checked their website and it says they are not offering drivers anymore. I now have a completely empty hardrive and I cant install vista.
