Acer :: Partitioning For Vista And XP

Apr 14, 2009

I'm just bought an Acer Aspire 6930G and here's how my partitions look now:

Now I want to divide the partition C: into 3 partitions as following:

1.Windows Vista (The Current One and must stay as it is now)

2.Windows XP (Want to install it and use it as my 2nd OS)

3.Accessories (Just Some Files)

I've already tried shrinking them but failed as there's already 4 partitions exist in my HD! So my questions is how can I create the partitions as the way I want it?

I Haven't made backup dvd's yet so the current windows musn't be harmed and New partition should allow me to install new windows (XP) and use it as my 2nd OS

Feb 24, 2009

this is my HD it was prepartitioned into these 4 Primary Partitions (i did resize C and extended the D partition) any way i know the 1st partition is the recovery but what about that last one?

Apple :: Macbook Pro Partitioning

Jan 31, 2009

I bought the macbook pro to run windows on it with OSX being an afterthought. Now, I'm kind of disappointed that bootcamp only allows 50-50 partitioning of the HD, when I don't plan on using the OSX partition ever.

I know bootcamp will not allow XP to have more HD space, which to me does not make any sense at all for those who prefer XP over OSX.

Is there any way to make the OSX partition smaller? I want to give OSX 20% of the HD and XP 80%.

Dell :: Studio 151555 Disk Partitioning

Jun 22, 2009

Description of problem.
I bought a new Dell Studio 15 - 1555 with 320 GB (7200rpm Performance Hard drive). It came preinstalled with Windows Vista Home Premium.

I see two drives as C & D. C drive shows 260GB free of 282GB and D drive (Recovery) shows 8.83GB free of 14.9 GB.

How can I create partitions of my own choice with the space left on the C Dirve?

I believe the existing partition that I have are Primary partitions and the new one are also getting created as Primary, so its not allowing me to create more partition of my choice.

Please help, how can I have atleast 5-6 partitions of 50GB each .....

Lenovo P/Y/Z Series :: Partitioning Hard Disk In Z510

Apr 24, 2014

I purchased Z510 recently with 1 TB hard disk. The problem is that it came with only 2 partitions :
 
a) Windows (C) - 891 GB
 
b) Drivers (D) - 25 GB
 
When asked with the support, I was told that if I make new partitions my warranty will void. and if anything bad happens on the software part I have to pay for that to fix it.
 
It is very difficult to work on a system with only above partitions.

Acer :: Delete Vista Partitions, Format Hard Drive, Reinstall Vista ...

Feb 21, 2009

Background:

A few days ago i bought an Acer 7730 laptop with Windows Vista pre-installed and no disks. After initial hesitation i have decided to keep vista and not downgrade to XP. After all there will be more service packs and tweaking should speed it up lots anyway.

However, i really want to get rid of the three partitions on the hard drive. There is only one physical hard drive but there are three partitions; a hidden 10GB one (EISA configuration) which from what i have gathered is now obsolete, a C: partition 111.44GB and a D: partition 111.44GB. There is no need to split a drive into several partitions now that we have the NTFS file system (unless you are using multiple operating systems of course - but i am not) so this is really annoying me.

I have made the 2 recovery DVD and the 1 applications/drivers DVD. I have an old WinXP disk that i can use to format the laptop if required.

Question:

Using the recovery disks (which i'm assuming contain a copy of my bought OEM Vista that was pre-installed on the laptop), can i delete the partitions, format the hard drive and install Vista onto a single c: partition?

I've done this exact process before with WinXP hundreds of times but i'm not sure whether i can do the same for Vista with just the 3 DVD mentioned...

Dell :: XPS M1530: How To Upgrade Vista Premium To Vista Business + HD Change

Jan 11, 2009

Firstly I apologize if this has been asked earlier, but I couldn't find an answer to my question. I have a 1530 on order. The OS will be Vista Premium x86. There are 2 things I need to do-

1. Upgrade the HD from a 5400 to a 7200, I have the HD.

2. Install Windows Vista Business - I have an original retail version, and I absolutely need this.

I have the Vista Business Retail DVD. What I want to do is have Windows and the dell partitions configured exactly as they came with the original computer, only with Vista Business, and on the new hard disk. I don't want to alter Media Direct, or delete the restoration partition. Everything should be the same except the Windows Versio

Acer :: Vista Retail Or OEM

Jun 17, 2009

I am in the process of performing a much needed system recovery of my Acer Apsire 7720. Ideally I would like a fresh install of Vista Ultimate without all of the unneeded software added during the recovery process.

I purchased a retail copy of Vista Ultimate a year ago for my desktop but am wondering if I can perform a clean install of Vista retail on my laptop but using the OEM serial number on the bottom of the Aspire unit and successfullly activate without issues.

Acer :: XP Instead Of VISTA On 8930G

Dec 29, 2008

I consider installing XP instead Vista (no Vista drivers for my HP scanner).

Where can I find XP versions of ACER software (Acer Empowering technology, AcereAudio management, AcereRocovery Management etc.) for 8930G notebook as well as all necessary drivers?

Are there any sites where all this stuff is grouped according to the specific notebook model?

Acer :: 32 Bit Vista And Total Ram

Jan 20, 2009

I've heard that the 32bit Vista is limited to only 3Gb of RAM. I've got the 8930G and it's installed with 4Gb of RAM. The system detects the 4Gb. My question how can have the 32Bit Vista detect the 4Gb in the Task Manager without changing to Vista 64Bit?

Acer :: Vista Reinstallation

Nov 30, 2008

I have an Acer 6920G with tons of problems so I wanted to reinstall vista. The thing is that a Vista installation CD didn't come with it, just a CD key on the label. And I didn't create a backup of the system.

In Acer Empowering Technology there's an option called "Restore factory defaults" which didn't work. When I click it, it warns me that all data will be lost and that I have to restart the pc. I click Yes then the notebook restart but nothing happens, it just boot Vista like it usually would.
My question is: is it legal to download Vista and use the CD key on the label?

A few of my problems are
-BSOD when i launch games (sometimes)
-Random music start playing even though I have no music player up, not even in processes. this is the weirdest bug I've ever seen. It starts playing a random song for like 10 seconds then stop.
-Slow system, I just feel like a fresh installation would fix everything.
