Cannot Merge 2 Volumes into 1
by Guest socker_dad- 0 replies
- 113 views
I split my primary hard drive into two partitions (volumes) to try out Linux. OK, I tried it, didn't like it, removed it. I've used Disk Manager to delete the Linux half of the hard drive and couldn't extend the boot drive (C:) to utilize the empty space. So I've assigned it a drive letter and reformatted the extra space into a new NTFS "drive" volume and still cannot extend C: to use the extra space. So how do I get these two drives back into 1?

How to combine partitions in Windows 7?
by Guest EW2 installation failure- 0 replies
- 53 views
I have 2 partitions on my 160GB disk, 21 and 128GB. That was not by my design, rather Win2000Pro did it recently when I formatted the new disk. When installing Windows 7 on that disk this evening, presumably overwriting W2k, I put W7 on the smaller partition. 12 GB are left on it. That partition is labeled drive C: The other has no designation, but somehow it has 7 GB of material on it. How do I expand that small partition to encompass the whole disk? I see how to Shrink either one in Disk Managment, but the Expand option is grayed out. It appears that I could designate the larger one drive D in the Disk Management > Action > All Tasks > Change Drive L…

New user profile sets up, but no menu bar!
by Guest Jeff Leese- 0 replies
- 42 views
I have a small business server 2011 domain, and it's working fine. One user seemed to be fine, and then I wanted to set the user up on another pc, so I created and account for him and logged on. There seems to be some problem because during setup it tells me that it ispersonalizing settings (setting up browser preferences and media preferences and so on), but after a long time, it never gets to making the start menu tool bar. Therefore I cannot work in the user's profile , even though this user's profile is working normally on all other domain computers where it has an account. I guessed that there was something wierd with the user's profile, so I removed the user, and t…

Protected content migration password
by Guest sydney_snowy- 0 replies
- 41 views
Hello - I have seen this issue raised a number of times here and elsewhere over several years without a definitive solution. Thought I would try my hand! I used Windows Easy Transfer to save user data to an external hard drive prior to re-installing Windows 7 from scratch on the same hardware and using the same operating system, Windows 7 Home 32-bit. No user accounts had passwords. No password on the WET file. User data was successfully restored using WET. On logging in to each of the user accounts I was asked to provide a password to allow protected content migration. None of the users had previously had passwords but the dialogue box returned an error when attem…
