I have 1 drive with unallocated, and i have maximum partition in my notebook already (4 partition), so i cannot format this unallocated drive. wat should i do with it?

my new lappy pre installed with win 7 and only has one partition... is it possible to re create 2 partition without compromising my win 7...

thanks guys lucky that i found this thred
my harddisk crash and thanks to u guys i manage to retrive all my data in it

It is like that in Windows 7. I also tried to ask the technical person to create few parts but this can't be done tat tech says.

I would like to copy my C drive with OS and all licensed softwares to another HDD. The new HDD will need to function just like my C drive. Will Disk Image work?

Also my D drive is currently a recovery disk, if I Disk Image the whole drive to another HDD, will it still function as recovery disk?

Ok. So this what i found using the software

My 1st Partition - Drive C:


My 2nd Partition - Drive D (Previously b4 this thing happens)


Another pic to consider


Actually my HD was 320GB but somehow i was messed-up (i forgot what did i do )
Both partition were evenly separated.
but 2nd partition was less from what it should be. Can someone give me a tip?? What did i miss?
How am i going to recover the other 140++GB??
The HD brand is Hitachi

hi guys i encounter a really weird prob recently

i got a new pc around April and i took a 160gb hd from my previous pc and install win 7 ultimate on it and use it on my new pc. Until now, July, one day i feel like rebooting my pc (did not reboot for like 1 month), after that my windows cannot boot at all!

I try to do system repair/recovery, but no luck. And to my surprise, i used the command prompt provided in the windows 7 dvd and browse through my C drive, i found the drive now contains the exact data BEFORE i install windows 7! Those data were from my old pc and i recognize them due to there are collections of movies on it. Anyone else encounter this before?

What do you mean cannot boot at all? Even cannot enter Windows 7 Splash Screen?

Starting your computer in Windows 7 Safe Mode can help you diagnose and solve many serious problems, especially when starting Windows normally is not possible.

To begin entering Windows 7 Safe Mode, turn on or restart your PC.

Just before the Windows 7 splash screen shown above appears, press the F8 key to enter Advanced Boot Options.

hi

my bro have a problem

when he's using the WINTOFLASH to 'burn' the window 7 into his external harddisk, something happen n he stopped it by using ctrl+alt+del

but after that, his external harddisk become undetectable by his lappy
the computer can actually "detecte" it , but it show nothing =[

is it possible to format the external harddisk w/o using window ( eg, in bios, etc) ?

thanks for helping

Bro,

You may also consider download a linux liveCD such as ubuntu, and boot it up through the CDROM.

Then goto "system" and look for Gparted, a sort of partition manager in linux, but a lot more powerful, and I believe you would see your ex-HDD then.

Then from there, you could partition it again to whatever format you desire.

I hope this would help to solve your problems.

Best of luck

so i download the liveCD from somewhere and ned to install the ,eerr ubuntu for example?

then after installing the Ubuntu
i jst do al the Gparted stuff ,is it correct?

is that any alternative way to work around
becoz this one involve quite many thing

Hi, i'm also having problem with my HDD. Bought 2 secondhand HDD, 160GB each. My friend suggest to used low level format. When try, it cannot detect hdd. (previously i've format the hdd using in winxp and ok - 160GB still there). After that, when log in, only show 34GB only - unallocated. How to find the balance of HDD space? Already tried EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional 4.3.6 (Retail), but can't recover the lost partition. Can someone help?
