Windows 7 Cannot Find Extra HDD Space?

Apr 12, 2011

I recently partitioned my hard drive (using Paragon Partition editor) and it failed, after finally getting my MBR working again, I only had 800GB rather than 920GB. This was the amount I had tried to allocate to a different partition, yet it does should 920GB some places. This shows the problemI really need to get the rest back ( I make movies and need space)Gparted finds it as 920.04 GB's, so it is definitely Windows that will not detect it.UPDATE

Extra Used Space After Cloning A Drive With Acronis

Jan 15, 2013

I have just cloned my d: drive, 500 gb to a new 1 terabyte drive f:

drive f: has 49 gig more used space then cloned drive d: users on drive f: is 39 gig larger than users on drive d: the d: drive also has around 50 gigs less used space.

all the other folders are the same size, so not only have I cloned, somehow an extra 49 gb to the f: drive but 10 gb seems to have 'gone'! I used Acronis True Image WD Edition and everything appeared to go well. I don't want to format my other drive as extra storage until I have some idea what has happened.

Get The Icon To Fill The Space When Set To View Extra Large?

Jan 13, 2013

I figured out how to share custom icons across network computers but when I set the view to "Extra large icon" on my network computer, the icon does not fill the space. How can I make the icon fill the space? It fills the space on the host computer (where the files are) but it won't fill the "Extra large icon" space on the network computer, it remains small size on all view options. It shows lots of white space surrounding the icon when the view is set to medium, large, and extra large views, and I want the icon to fill the space.

Searching For File In Windows 7 Not Working - Extra Filter Required

Sep 5, 2012

In windows XP I remember I could specify whatever I remember of a file and I could get straight to the file I was looking for, I could only remember a range of dates, an approx size, tow or three file extension... and thats it.. the search in windows 7 is good, but only for looking files that you know are there and you just want to save time scrolling down until get it. I have been in this situation various times, but I cant stand it anymore

I am looking for an audio file (a recording of a conversation). I don't remember the name (probably the default name the recorder put on it [there fore must be hundreds of files with the same names but in different folders). The specs I remember from the file, or what I am sure it is are:

Size between 1mb and 20mb
Create and or modification date: between 2008 and 2010
File type: wav, mp3, qcp or amr (i don't remember if i convert it, if i edited it... )

In windows xp I would have found the file, but in this windows 7 something CANT be so simple and when it is forced to be, it doesn't work properly. When I try to use the "So Super duper" simple all mighty space for searches in the upper right corner... it only give me options for (despite the name itself ...) "modified date" and "size". How do I chose a range of date, a range of size various fiile type? Why its so complicated in windows 7?

Extra Drives Under My Computer

Aug 7, 2009

In the screen shot, C, E, and F are legit volumes/drives. I have no idea what this Local Disk 'Q' is. I try to open it, says not accessible (and it shouldnt be because it doesnt exist)

Also, Removable Storage, I have 1 DVD drive, the rest G - L are bogus. One of those is listed as a BD-ROM which I dont have either.

Why are these listed when they dont exist?

XP To Win7: Extra Drive

Aug 30, 2009

I am planning on upgrading from XP to Windows 7 Professional fairly soon. I know that it performs a clean install and that I need to back up my C drive.

My question is in regards to my secondary hardrive. Will the clean install also wipe the second hardrive or will it leave it untouched? Basically, can I back up my C drive onto the secondary drive without fear of losing it all? I would assume it would leave the second drive alone but I couldn't find any info and thus, why I am here asking.

Extra USB Port Extenders

Jan 6, 2010

Amazing how fast one uses up the USB Ports supplied in the desktop PC.

Am trying to only use the ones in the back, as it gets messy if I also use the two on the front.

Have an external powered 4-Port hub that I purchased, and am using that also.

Seems like I need another one or two spigots.

Question: If I get another powered external 4-Port extender, can this be plugged into a port on the existing extra Port extender I already have, or must it only be plugged into one of the USB ports in the back of the PC ?

Does it matter at all, and the PC will recognize it either way ?

Hiding Extra Drives

Jan 24, 2010

Ok, I just got a new Windows 7 Computer (yea! ). When I open up My Computer, it shows 4 "Removable Drives" (Which, I assume, are from my flash card reader, though there are no cards in them). They are hidden drives, but I set it so that it will show hidden files and folders.... I don't like all the clutter of the extra unneeded drives, so is there a way to hide individual drives?

Extra Taskbar At Top Of Dell Desktop

Nov 28, 2009

My new Dell computer came with what looks like an extra taskbar at the top of the Windows 7 desktop, although it's bigger then the taskbar. Was there from the first time I turned on the computer. It's disappeared with no explanation.

I've spent over an hour looking at Windows 7 desktop screen captures and tutorials, and can't find anything that looks like it, and almost all other photos I've seen of the Windows 7 desktop don't have it at all.

I'm guessing this is something that the Dell OEM version of Windows 7 uses? Is it even part of Windows 7 or is this something from Dell? I'm not even sure what it's officially called, and don't know how to get it back.

The closest photo that explains what it looks like is attached. In that photo, it looks like someone took it and made it into a circle, but on my Dell computer it was on the top of the desktop in a straight line.

Set Up An Extra Monitor As A Virtual Machine?

Jan 15, 2013

I just had a quick question on the possibility of setting up a kind of like virtual machine for an additional monitor in my room. You see, I am Renovating my room, and in the process, I am going to be building a custom queen sized bunk bed And on the top bunk, we are putting a 32" LED, and i was wondering if there was anyway to set up that screen as a virtual machine, with its own keyboard and mouse. I have a Logitech G19 and gaming mouse that I primarily Use, but i have an extra wireless Logitech keyboard, that i use for typing essays and such. So basically i want to be able to use the wireless keyboard on the top bunk, so that, lets say, if im playing games on my main screen, someone else can be watching movies or surfing the web on the bunk bed screen. Any Ideas? I know that i can extend the desktop, and just drag over a movie to the other screen, something along those lines, but in that case they wouldn't have their own mouse, it would be dependent on mine.

My Rig:
-Amd Phenom II x6 1045t
-Amd HD6870
-8gb Patriot Viper DDR3 2133Mhz
-Asus M4N68T-M V2
