Windows 7 Home Premium {Making New Partition "Not Shrink One"}
Oct 29, 2011
I have Window 7 Home Premium Installed on My HP Pavilion Dv6 i5 Notebook. I have only 1 Partition. I want to Install another Window and thats why i want to Make Another Partition for it (I Know About Shrinking of Drive but i won't do it because it make the shrinked Partition Dynamic, Which Can not Have OS on it)SO i want to know that how can i make another Partition Without losing this Win7.Because Once i had Done that ( Shrinked) and install another OS on (Shrinked) and then My Win7 had stopped working and was getting stuck during (ScreenFlash) Tell me how can i have an Extra Partition.if i Make "System Backup" of C45GBUsed : Free400GB) {Control Panel >Back up and Restore >Create a system Backup} on External Drive. And Format Laptop and Make Fresh 50GB New Partition using (Any bootable CD).So Can i Restore that "BACKUP" on Newly created 50Gb Partition.
I have laptop with with following specs; Dell N5110core i74 Gb DDR3 ram500GB Hard isk2769mb GraphicsWhen I bought,it has only single disk drive "C" with registered Window 7 HomePremium,now I want to make partitions without format
I don't have a windows seven OS before so I don't know the size of it and all that. I'm going to get a Sager NP5160 soon and I plan to get WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM 64 BIT as 2 partitions on my 320 GB Hard Drive.1. OS partition 2. All the other stuff like programs, files, etc.Can you recommend me a good size ?I plan to use this laptop for 5+ years and no hard drive upgrade!
So I'm trying to install Windows 7 on my notebook through a USB boot but I keep getting the Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. error no matter what I try. My notebook has no CD/DVD drive so I've been using a USB flash drive boot which I created using bootcamp on my macbook pro.
Here is are screenshots of where I'm stuck, disk part and details of disk 0 (HDD):
My notebook has no OS now so I'd really like to get this fixed!
I've been trying for the past two days to re-install windows 7. It would work fine if I had more disk space available which is my problem. I have 74.5GB's available on my laptop, but unable to get more than 3GB clear at a time, and I need about 7GB's to reinstall my windows 7.When I try to shrink the partition, it tells me to run a chkdsk. I've ran chkdsk several times but it always stops at 9% and gives me an error.
while installing 7 H.P. it gets to completing installation then freezes up after computer reboots a warning message appears stating windows 7 has failed to install and resume after reboot, and then the same warning message appears.
I tried the roll back installation option and a message flashes on and off to quickly to read. and Vista will not come up to start over.
i've got dell xps 15 having 500gb harddrive,i wat to shrink my c drive for partition but it shows error n says run chkdsk which i tried but got unsuccess
I wanted to create a new partition to try out linux. So I decided to shrink E: by 20 GB. I then formatted the free space into a new drive by right clicking and creating new simple volume. I was warned that the drive would be made "simple", but not knowing the implications, I went ahead with the procedure. Now on rebooting, windows won't load. I had made a repair disc, so was able to use it to check for any start up errors. It reported none. Moreover I used "diskpart" through cmd to find volume c: is dynamic.
I have a partition set at 237 GB. I have 161 GB of free space left and want to move more out of the partition. But it would not let me move more out. Is this a bug or something?
im trying to dual boot windows 7 beside my already installed vista HP , when i try shrink my c partition with the inbuilt vista partition tool , to create room for the windows 7 partition , it will only allow me to shrink roughly 2000 MB of the drive even though there is 45% of a 250 GB drive still available .
they reccomend at least 16GB of free space to install it,
I successfully bought the upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium N, downloaded and extracted it and now I want to install it.
When I choose UPDATE in the intallation dialog it tells me that I cannot upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium ???
Every website from Windows and other people tells me that it IS possible and even the Windows 7 Update Advisor told me that I should not encounter any problems upgrading.
Has anyone of you yet encountered upgrading problems of compatible Vista/7 versions?
Or any other idea what I can do to solve the problem?!
I know that I can make a clean intall of 7, but this would be a pain..
Yesterday I was messing around on my brand-new laptop, and I was stupid enough to try a keygen to get Ultimate (I had HP). Surprising. It worked but the copy wasn't genuine obviously. So then I rebooted, pressed F8 at boot. An ran Toshibas recovery to try to get the computer to its out of box state. I got stuck at initializomg (either that or I was impaptient) so I turned off the laptop. Then when I truer to boot I got bootmgr is missing. I have an old vista Hp disk so I installed that for the time being. So my question is, how do I get it back to the original state? I do t have any important data or anything.
Now, I actually have the exact same OEM disk of Windows 7 Home Premium installed. I have a sister that seems to think she owns my laptop. I have considered splitting my HDD partition into 2 so that I can have my own installation and part of the drive. The problem is that if I screw something up, my sister will have a cow (it's the only place where she stores her iTunes, etc. and she's stubborn to use anything else, she wouldn't even accept it on backup). Can I also have 2 of the same OEM copies on each partition? If not, I'm Out of luck.
I bought a new laptop with OS- DOS so what i did i bought the Windows 7 dvd and installed it. Everything was working fine then i decided to make partitions pf my HD. As i had 3 partitions c,d,e. Where i installed Windows 7 on 'c' i decided to leave it and shrink my d and e drives.Now when i first shrink my 'd' drive a message poped up regarding os with an option yes or no...... i dont know wht hapend to me as i did not read the message and hit yes since pressing no would have led to no partitions at all. now after that i made several partions that message didnt pop up again.Now when i restarted my windows it got stuck at the black screen with a blinking cursor.
1. Re-install windows i reinstalled it and when the final restart takes place b4 win launch same problem.
2. Deleting all partitions. Leting only one partition remaining.Unable to do that .... if i try to do it while installing win options.... the delete option is in active for new drives as it says " win cannot be installed in this drive".Now i am also unable to some how get into dos prompt to delete them from there...
Recently ive decided that Well i should upgrade this computer. give it a bit of ..well style.But since ive upgraded to Windows 7 there has been no sound whatsoever. Ive downloaded countless driver programs which tell you what sound card you have and not one has detected it. IVE ALSO downloaded drivers for the Windows 7 version of my sound (Realtek AC97) and ran windows updates and NONE worked. ive ran the troubleshooter on the sound thing...STILL not detecting any sound card. i tried changing the audio in BIOS from auto - enabled....nothing.
Although there isn't an interface specficially designed for it, you can actually view the progress of a volume shrink operation in Windows 7, and cancel a shrink that is in-progress, using the Disk Defragmenter tool.Volume shrink can take a long time, especially if you have a very full, or fragmented hard drive. Being able to view the shrink progress can be pretty handy!
why does shrink volume only display 350gb available to shrink out of a total of 703 gb on (C drive? the Hewlett Packard is fresh out of the box. it was partitioned with 200MB system files, the 703GB partition contains 25GB of files, 150MB partition unallocated. a (D drive HP created for emergency (nice feature). any suggestions on what to do with 150MB since it is so small (mb). windows 7.
I bought a notebook preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, of course, licensed.But I found it incompatible with some software. So I decided to use 32 bit.I want to format the whole drive and install 32 bit version of W7HP.
The original OS was Windows XP 32bit SP3. I upgraded this system to Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit SP2 with no issues.
I then went to upgrade the system to Windows 7 Premium. I chose the "Upgrade" install and not the "Clean" install. I've checked the updater to confirm that all my system information was adequate. I uninstalled the ATI Catalyst Controller, iTunes, etc. that it wanted me to. Oddly enough, the ATI Catalyst Controller was the most recent driver that supports Windows 7.
I checked online to see if the hardware was all supported by Windows 7. The Sapphire Vapor-X video card was not compatible or compatible... it simply wasn't on the list of either. The X-Fi Extreme Gamer said it was NOT compatible... yet, I had a driver for Windows 7 and the Windows 7 Application checker said that my sound card was ready for Windows 7... thus a discrepency.
I went on with the installation. I get to the last step where it resets the computer at 62% and I get a BSOD for about 1/3 of a second. It goes by too quickly for me to capture it. It then restarts the computer instantly with the result of "Upgrade was not completed successfully. Restoring prior OS yadda yadda". I've gone through this about 5 times now trying different things.. keeping the Catalyst controller installed, uninstalling the video card, removing the sound card, etc. Nothing seems to work.
It was recommended to me that I do a clean install... however, I have read that many others have done a clean install and theirs STILL doesn't get past the 62%.
Is it my hardware? Do I need to buy MORE hardware now that 7 is out that is on the compatible list?
I'm french and i already owns Seven Home Premium N (Full french DVD version with a key).I recently bought Seven Home Premium on Amazon UK (Full non N version, the E uropeen version). This version is entirely in English.As you can see, my english is not so good to have a full non-french system. I would like to use my own french Home Premium N to install my Premium english key.Anyone know if it it possible to enter a Premium key with a Premium N DVD ?

I got new laptop few days before. yesterday i was making 2 more partition. my C drive in which windows 7 has been installed had 500GB of space. so by using external application, i had decreased its size to 300GB. but from that time, some files has been corrupted. I cannot access that files now.. not even C drive.. I dont have recovery disc.
I have sort of a special case here. I purchased my HP laptop in Thailand, and much to my chagrin it came installed with Windows 7 Home Basic. In addition, the HP store which sold me the laptop installed 4gb of RAM neglecting to tell me that the 32bit version of 7 only supported up to 3. At any rate, I am hoping to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 Bit edition.But while there is a glut of information online about how to upgrade from Starter, there is little to nothing about Home Basic. Do I have to buy a full copy of 7 Home Premium 64 Bit? Can I buy an Anytime Upgrade that is meant for Starter and apply it to my computer?
Had Windows 7 home premium for around 2 months on a brand new desktop. Never had a single problem with it untill today. Turned it on as normal, got to the log in screen where i click on the required user. As the pc is only used by me I only have 1 user availiable. I click on it like normal but this time i get a message saying 'The user profile service service failed the logon' 'user profile cannot be loaded'. It then refreshes the page and returns me back to the logon page and if i press enter the same thing just keeps repeating itself. Other option on this page are the shutdown/sleep/restart option and a little box in the bottom left corner called ease of access with various options, but none that seem relevant to the situation.
