partition

How can I recover 15 GB of C: partition ssd space that WinDirStat shows as "unknown" and I cannot access? I know this "unknown" 15 GB is real because Windows File Explorer shows there is an unexplained shortage of disk space. Its 15 GB or perhaps more. I don't have a problem accounting for the...

What can I do? My win10 installation seems to have died this morning. I can't rescue it, repair it, go to a restore point or put an image on - nothing works. So I tried to install a new Win10 but got a message that it couldn't be installed because that chosen disk and partition (the very one...

I need help, I have W10 installed Update 1709 and have not had any problems with updates until 1803 came out the update from Hell. It has downloaded 32 times and every time it failed. I contacted Microsoft Desk and they told me that I needed to do a clean install. I went and backed up...

Hello everyone, I've come across a weird problem that I'd like to share with you: under certain circumstances, Diskpart and some other programs don't report the correct capacity of a hard disk. The disk in question is a new 4 TB, or 3.64 TiB (3726 GiB), Seagate BarraCuda, initalized as a GPT...

I have a Dell XPS-17 L702X laptop running Windows 10 Pro x64. I upgraded my 500GB internal secondary drive to a 1TB drive. I did not do a quick format of this new 1TB but rather did the full, longer format. The new, upgraded 1TB secondary drive was made active and assigned the drive letter D...

Hi all, I just upgraded from Windows 10 32bits to 64. I used an external hard drive for that and of course, I didn't think about it, everything is gone. Some of it wasn't backed up, so I'd like to get the data back if possible, it'd mean the world to me. My little bit of hope is that my hard...

Alright I have a 60GB ssd on my desktop and I have noticed Windows is using up almost 60% of my disk space (according to WizTree). Windows is preventing me from deleting some junk (like unneeded upgrade files, OneNote, and even Visual Studio) so I currently have about 5GB of space left even...

I have a 600 GB hard drive and run Win 10 -clean install. I would like to use the Windows 7 the pc came with. Can I shrink the drive by 100GB and install Windows 7 on the new partition I would create without hurting Windows 10? I have never done this before so could use a few tips.

Tried installing Lubuntu on my D: drive which contains only files, no OS! But when i selected this drive in the boot options got message "Bootmgr is missing". Lubuntu gives the option to select which partition should contain the "Bootmgr", and i selected the same partition for the OS to be...

Hey, all. I need some help. I just got a new hard drive for my laptop to replace an old one that went bad. Unfortunately, Windows will not install to the laptop (or work, on the one occasion I've succeeded). Every time I've tried to install Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit), it tells me that it...

Hi all, I've got a 2TB hdd that I want to remove from the current machine, but I've noticed that there is a System Reserved partition on it. If I remove the HDD, the system will boot up normally? Or I'll have problems?

Hi, I don't think this is a HW issue, reather a software issue I guess but I still want to ask you guys to make sure. I did connect my USB 3 drive to my laptop, then I did go to Computer Manager -> Disk Managment to first delete a partition and then extend the volume to have all of the disk...
