I am am running Windows 7 64, and my C drive was 150GB, and the other drive was 450GB. I decided to extend or expand it by deleting one of the volumes. However, I have come across a speed bump while doing this. After deleting my unused partition which was 450GB, and right clicked on the C drive to extend, but the extend option is greyed out. The shrink volume seems to be clickable though.
View 5 RepliesWhile running Computer Management as Administrator, I have a USB disk that is split into two partitions. One is healthy and active (NTFS) and the other is unallocated. When I right click on the active disk, I should be seeing an option to expand this drive to take over the unallocated space, should I not? It is a basic disk, not dynamic, but I thought that even basic disks have this ability. I am able to see this option when I right click on dynamic disks...

Then it says error can fix error (some long thing with a billion numbers. Then it says run system recovery from control panel to back date the c drive to a before hand restore. So I go through that but right at then end the last button to push it says error on c drive first run error checking.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a new simple volume in 130 GB free disk space. There's no obvious reason why it would refuse to do so - I'm not at the hard limit on number of partitions or anything - but disk management MSC is consistently returning "Not enough space" errors. The only thing I can think of is something to do with the partition order, but if so I have no idea how to fix it non-destructively. I'm in the middle of backups on it, so deleting partitions is a no-go. At the moment I don't understand what's going on.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWindows Disk Management utility has provided Extend / Shrink volume support.I got to knowthat FSCTL_SHRINK_VOLUME ioctl is provided for supporting shrink volume feature.I am interested to know what support is provided by File system driver and otherstorage modules to achieve shrink volume feature.Actually Linux does not have support for online shrink volume. So interested to know what are the support provided by Windows storage stack.

Tried seatools which shows the drive as healthy - it also shows up the three partitions on it. The drive is from an Acer laptop, the drive when using external USB caddy shows in computer managment but not in my computer. Ran some data recovery software which scanned each partition but it showing only the option to recover the files.
I have done so for safe keeping but what I wish to do is fix the drive so that it will boot up windows again on the laptop (windows 7). I have also tried DiskInternals PartitionRecovery which also took ages to scan the drive partitions and will allow to recover the files to another location. Which other software could I try to rescue the partitions on the drive. There are three in total on the drive with probably the following on them.
1. Acer Recovery
2. OS
3. Diagnostic Partition
I successfully increased the size of my partition (from 24,36GB to 34,18GB) and restored my image again.
Windows 7 is up and running again, though the amount of space left, is still identical as it was before increasing the partition.
Windows Computer management shows (graphically) the new size (now 34.18GB) where in the same screen, just above the graphical presentation, the old partition size is shown (24,36GB). The latter is also show if I use explorer.
Apologies if this has been covered, I have tried looking but can't find any previous mention, although having used this excellent forum for a few months this is my first posting, so sorry if I am not doing this correctly !
I have carried out a clean install of Win 7 Home Rremium (retail full version) on a new hard drive. The problem that I have noticed is that when you are in Computer Management, you can view everything OK apart from Disk Management when you view this it works OK but when you then try to view any other menu (Event Viewer, Device Manager etc.),
the text on the screen flashes like it was refreshing, however it continues to do so until you exit. If you then go back in again and select anything other than Disk Management it works OK until you select Disk Management (which works OK), but on selecting another menu, the screen starts flashing again.
This only happens when you go from Disk Management to something else.
I have reinstalled my old Vista hard drive and everything works OK, so I dont think that it is a hardware issue, but something with Windows 7.
We are doing system testing on a few PC's at our company with upgrading from XP to Windows 7. While using Windows 7 and the Computer Management utility, I noticed that when you connect to another computer, and right click on the PC name, you cannot view/edit the properties like you can in XP. My question is concerning this. Is there a way to view/edit the properties of another computer using Computer Management on Windows 7?

I have a 1TB hard drive partitions into a C drive and D drive. The operating system is Windows 7 64 bit. The C drive is my every day stuff, and I use D to store media, music, video etc. Today I wanted to access the D drive and it was not there. The C drive is listed as usual. I went to Disk Management and the missing D drive was not there as well. I don't know if this explains things, but I ran a partition analysis program and it showed 500 gigs as unallocated. But that space is also not noted in disk management. Right now I am running partition recovery software to see if the files are somewhere, but it will take a few hours.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've had my computer for a few months now and for some reason the volume stopped being loud. It's not just a "little off." It's really quiet. I can barely hear the frickin thing.
I've tried everything (all the obvious things a relatively computer-savvy person would try) I can't understand it. Below are some relevant photos.Picture of the volume controls. Why are those boxes next to the volume sources? Also, the green bar is as loud as it gets. No joke. Unless I use VLC to pump up the sound, this is as loud as it gets from normal playback of media....
How can I increase the volume on my computer? All my options are maxed out.

I just received a new keyboard today: Thermaltake Challenger Ultimate. I went from a Logitech G15.
First thing I did was connect the keyboard and install the software that came along on the CD, it probably also installed the correct drivers. First after this did I uninstall the software and drivers from the old Logitech G15. But before that, and now after, the volume buttons on my new keyboard is still not adjusting the volume when I press them.
A speaker-icon like this shows up when I press the volume buttons, so its not that the keys are not working: (ignore the text behind it, its me writing an assignment)
I recently got this problem, that my volume hotkeys stopped working, (Acer Aspire 5560G) AMD High Definition Audio. I also tryed plug in other keyboard that have's volume hotkeys but still doesn't work.
