Want To Create A Secondary Partition, But Added All Space On Primary Partition
Nov 16, 2007I have my Windows format disc and I want to create another partition with it. I tried to create one, but it said something like "You have no more space to create another partition because you used up all your space on your Windows primary partition". See, when I reformatted my computer a while back I just created 1 partition for Windows and applied all the space onto that partition.
If there is a way I could remove some space off of my Windows primary partition and create another partition with the space I removed. I want to do this so I can put general things in my other partition such as documents, music, etc. and just leave the other partition for Windows and programs.
NTFS Partition Filled Up / Finding Reason To Keep FAT32 Partition?
Feb 5, 2008I bought a new computer.It appears to have been partitioned into a NTFS format and FAT32 format.The default drive for my documents & my pictures etc is the NTFS which I have been using happily. It is Media Centre Edition so I also have a few large files (>4GB) - though I dont keep them long term.NTFS partition has fulled up - but I cant move my large files to other partition to free up space
I've done a little bit of reading but my question is "Should I reformat the FAT32 to make it more of use to me?".I cant really see the need arising to access older OS files, except .JPG's (photo's I had on my old Windows ME Comp) or "Should I move all my smaller files (documents and photo's) to the FAT32 partition and use the NTFS drive for the bigger files?"
Formatting Primary Partition Without Extended Logical Partition
Nov 23, 2008My hard disk arrangement is C(primary partition FAT32)for Windows XP
D(extended logical FAT32) for non-os data (movies, pictures etc..)
F(primary NTFS) for Vista..
I am formatting F: and then C: through XP installation CD
(and C->NTFS from FAT32)
is this ok???
will D: be accessible after installing XP on C???

Jul 7, 2010Now I am having multiple new problems. I want to completely erase the hard drive and install a new version of XP Home, not Pro. At the beginning of the installation process, it gathers system info. Immediately it responds with "no valid system partition" and the only option is to exit from the process. How can I get past this to complete the installation?

Jul 25, 2005My existing C: drive. First I was getting the "Error 983" error. Then I un-installed SP2 which was causing a gang of problems, freezing programs for a couple mins mostly. After I got it uninstalled I did a disk defrag, then a chkdsk /f. Now I have partitioned the drive using PM8 again and this time after the reboot it is telling me it is completed but once Windows XP reboots there is no new partition.

NTFS Partition Thinks It Is FAT In Partition Magic?
May 1, 2005I had perfectly working PC with XP Pro installed on a 160Gb Maxtor HDD.For no reason I error checked the hard drive, which the system did after rebooting, at the end of the test the system rebooted and announced that there was a error on the boot and boot.ini.Useing XP Emergency (on disk) I tried fixmbr which did nothing then I tried Fixboot. XP found the drive identified it as FAT and said that it was successfully fixed.The drive was FAT and is now unusable.Partition Magic sees it as a FAT drive as does XP when I switched the HDD into another machine.

May 3, 2006Over a year ago when I setup my new system and before installing most of my APPS, I backed it up to a small HD.

I have Ghost 2003 but I'm not sure if it permits me to set the partition size when copying HD's.

Jan 31, 2007I reinstalled my OS several months ago, and decided that I might want a dual boot in the future. I already had an old, smaller drive in the machine that's labeled the c: drive.
Reading one time that for security purposes it's good to have your OS on a drive other than C:, I decided to not alter the drive lettering.
I then partitioned a new internal hard drive into several logical drives. I formatted the D: partition as a Dos fat32 partition and the rest as NFTS partitions. Somehow, I allowed the D: partition to be the primary partition, while the E: partition which contains the Win 2000 Pro OS Winnt directory is a logical drive.
When I just checked disk management, I noticed that not only is boot.ini on the D: Dos partition, but so is ntldr along with the following Dos setup files:

Resized Partition Using Partition Magic 7
Sep 8, 2005I've just resized a partition on my main physical drive, and the OS sees the adjacent partition as unfromatted.
I'm using Partition magic pro 7 and WinXp pro.
The partition I resized is the primary OS partition which is formatted as NTFS, the adjacent partition is FAT32. How can I get XP to recognise the FAT32 partition again?
Physical Partition Vs Software Partition
Jun 20, 2008I decided to try Linux. 'Ubuntu' was my type selection. After trying by running off a CD I then decided that I would pick up some partitioning software like 'Partition Magic' or some software along that line to do the partition. But somewhere(s) I read that virtual or software partitions are less then a good idea for reasons I don't recall at the moment.
Is that true? If so, why and/or to what extent?
Recovery After Partition Deleted The Partition
Jan 5, 2008Is it possible to recover data from an external HD that I accidently deleted the partition and created a new one I just got a "new" computer - it's actualy a hand-me-down that I was trying to do a clean install of Windows XP on. I booted it up with the XP disk in the CD drive, and thought I was telling it to delete the existing partition and create a new one on the C: drive, but I didn't realize that it was also recognizing the external drive, which was already plugged into a USB port (why I even went ahead and plugged it in I don't know - that was stupid mistake It was the first one listed, and I thought it was telling me that there were two partitions on the internal drive, not two drives I also didn't pay attention to the size it was telling me the drive was (stupid mistake #2), I just told it to create a partition with the maximum possible size

Feb 9, 2007Hi All,
I'm running Win XP Home SP2 (all up-to-date) on a 6 month old HP laptop. I just bought a new 250GB external USB IDE drive which I formatted to NTFS and just 1 partition. Now I want to partition the disk to 3 different partitions. I went into the Win XP Disk Management utility and when I right click on the external disk one of the options is Delete Partition. Is that the correct first step I need to take before creating the 3 partitions? Or is there some other way to create the 3 partitions? I want each of the 3 partitions to have their own drive letter.
Thanks,
Tom

How To Partition Hard Drive
Feb 20, 2008I have Windows XP , total physical memory 2,058MB, available physical memory 1.26 gb. My hard drive is partitioned into Drive C, with 20GB capacity, 1.45 GB free space (7% ), and Drive D, with 213 GB capacity and 213 GB free space.
With only 7% free space in Drive C, I am restricted in doing some things such as defragmenting and using some programs. How do I take advantage of all this empty space on Drive D, which is just sitting there, to relieve the pressure on Drive C?
Can Delete The C Drive Partition
Apr 20, 2007I'm currently in the process of selling my laptop. I wanted to nuke the while disk to make sure all my confidential information had gone, using DBAN, but I couldn't get it to create a disk, so instead I'm deleting the partitions on my computer, formatting them, then erasing them using Heidi's Eraser (35 passes).
I had two partitions: a C and D drive. I installed two OS's on the C drive, and I deleted the D partition, and created a new one which became F. i then erased F, so that anything that was on the previous D had been completely cleaned. I then put on a copy of XP on F. So, when I start up my computer, I use the OS which is logged on F. Can i delete the C partition now, which has two OS's on it, whilst I'm using the OS on F? I want to do that, create a new partition, and then erase it 35 passes.

Sep 2, 200540GB HD installed recently. Unfortunately, the installer took the simplest option of making the whole new drive a single partition, instead of two of 8GB and 32GB, identical to the other drive. The organisation is therefore now as follows:That's obviously more secure than before, but I'd like to go further. I want to use DriveImage 2002 to copy the OS to F, so that in an emergency we could boot up to that instead of C. But DI won't allow that. Even though C contains only a TOTAL of about 7GB, and F is 8GB,it says there is insufficient space. It's been a long time since I last used DI, and I'm nervous about how best to proceed at minimum risk. Can I achieve my aim by using the facilities under Disk Operations to 'Redistribute free space among partitions'?

Boots In One Drive Still Wants To Boot Partition In C
Jun 1, 2005When the system boots into the new drive R:, it still wants the boot partition c: for something. If I boot with the IDE disconnected, it'll boot to the login screen, and allow me to log in, but after a few minutes of a blank screen & cursor, it drops back to the login.
I have PartitionMagic 7.0, and used DriveMapper to change all references to C: to R:, but that didn't do it. How do I cut my system's dependence on the failing drive, before it fails altogether?
