Accidental Compression of Windows 7 C drive now on external

Hey folks,
I have a Macbook Pro running dual boot for Leopard 10.5 and Windows 7 and accidentally compressed the C drive in Windows, and ran into the bootmgr compression issue on a restart.
Unfortunately, I tried a restore from an image backup done with Windows 7, only to find it wasn’t an updated image, but for a clean install. So none of my data.
I could see the old original partition for Windows 7 in my Mac side of the system, but couldn’t do anything to change it without possibly making matters worse since I was running out of space on both sides of the system, both on Mac & W7.
Took my system to Mac/PC specialists, and they really didn’t help, they put in a much larger drive, tried backing up my data, did a poor job of it, but thank God I have my original drive that was in my Mac, and threw it into an enclosure, plugged in the USB and I can see that original partition for Windows,that is compressed and I can also see the original MAC HD.
So here’s the question…
Any possible way to un-compress the C drive on what is now an external HD, which doesn't show up on the Windows side, it shows the restored clean image install, not the installation with all my data, or get instructions on how to uncompress that partition from the Mac side, which was my original C drive for Windows 7 that has all my data, including my monsterous 2.53GB Outlook.pst file that I can’t get to due to the compression?
Any advice or recommendations on doing this would be tremendously appreciated, I do have a 4TB External, partitioned as well, waiting on standby for solid backups too.
Thanks so much!

Hi
You can set that automatic clean up

You can also disable system restore to save the space (not recommended)
This is the strategies to free some space in your HDD

  • How can I use my Windows Hard Drive as an external backup?

    Hi everyone!  I am currently making the switch from Windows, I can't wait for my MacBook to arrive.  My lovely Dell currently has a 320 GB HD that would prove a very nice external backup storage unit.  So, I plan to remove it and find a case to mount and use it as such!
    Only problem is, I'm fairly certain that I'll run into some compatibility issues and have never used an external HD.  I'm unsure of how the process works.  This is the HD in my personal laptop (only PC I own), so it's not like I have it hooked up to play around with as an external at the moment.
    The Hard Drive is a Toshiba MK3255GSX (SATA): http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-MK3255GSX-320GB-5400RPM-Drive/dp/B003LMP8P6
    Can I connect with FireWire (or Is that dependent on my hard drive, or do I get a cable converter)?
    When/how do I partition it?
    Since this is my personal home use PC, it's loaded with a bunch of programs/Win32/cache/temp files/garbage.  Can I just access/delete these from the Mac?
    Even if you can't give me a full guide on the procedure, any tips or things to keep in mind are GREATLY appreciated.  I expect to pick this up little by little.
    Thanks again!

    You will have to reformat the HDD in 'Disk Utility' Application to either one strictly for Macs or one that PCs can also utilize.  That is your choice.
    The connection is dependent upon the enclosure the the HDD is in.  If it has a Firewire port, all to the good because Firewire data transfer rates are about twice as fast as USB @.  Your MBP will have that capability.  Otherwise its USB 2.
    If you are anticipating installing Windows on your MBP, you will have to partition the HDD which also can be done in 'Disk Utility'.
    When you format the HDD in 'Disk Utility', it will erase all of the data on that HDD.  If you want to save anything, back it up first.
    Ciao.

  • My 2007 Intel Macbook Pro had Tiger 10.4. Can I boot into that drive,now an external, with my 2011 Macbook Pro?

    I have software that is no longer compatible with my 2011 MacBook Pro that I would like to continue to use.
    When I upgraded my old 2007 MBP from Tiger to Leopard, I did a clean install on a new drive, and put the original internal in an external case.
    This same software did not work with Leopard, but I could boot into the old drive when necessary, and use it that way.
    But so far, I have not been able to do this with the new computer.
    Since that MBP had an Intel processor, shouldn't I be able to boot into the old drive, or is the problem due to the i7's quad core?
    BTW, I have Parallels 7 (and 8 available, but not installed yet) running WIndows Pro 7.
    Can I use Parallels to install Mac 10.4 as a VM as a way around this?
    Thanks.

    You can upgrade from10.4 to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 will run under10.6 but you might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc....  I recently upgraded an 2006 MacBook (model 1,1) from 10.4 to 10.6.
    You can order a Snow Leopard 10.6 install disk for $29 as long as you have at least1gb of RAM and 5gb offree space on your hard drive. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY You won't need the box set unless you want the full iLife '11 and iWork '09. If you only want iPhoto or other single apps you can get them from the App Store after you've upgraded to10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers for $20 each.
    A 10.5 Leopard disk will run you over $100

  • Bought MacAir 2 weeks ago. Loaded Parallels; Windows 7 Pro; Office 10. Created a ss but defaults to Office 11 making it impossible to save on an external drive, but worst is my external drive now asks to be formatted (losing all my personal files)

    As stated above. So despite attempting to run a parallel windows system it seems like everything's defaulted to Apple. I've tried uninstalling Office 2011 (trash), but then I can't use save an Office 2010 file without it. So, I have to reverse that. Not sure whether I should uninstall the whole lot and try again.
    But I have an even worse problem: My external hard drive (Samsung) will not now work and it contains all my personal and work files, but more importantly all my tax files that I need as a Brit expat. It now asks me to format the drive on the Mac or my work PC. Presumably this will mean I lose all my data.
    I'm totally underwhelmed and now wished I had never bought the computer because it will cause me huge problems if I have lost my data.

    Step 6: Here is where I need help/advice – can I remove the Bootcamp partition on my internal drive now?
    To answer my own question in Step 6 above, no, or at least I haven't found a way yet...
    Here's what I've done so far:
    Used the Bootcamp Assistant to remove the bootcamp partition on my internal drive.
    Booted the system with the option (alt) key pressed down and now there was NO Windows drive to choose.
    Therefore I used the Bootcamp Assistant to install Windows back onto my internal drive (including installing Bootcamp drivers in the Windows environment). This time I chose the minimum partition of 20GB for the Windows installation on the internal drive.
    Booted into the new Windows on the internal drive and installed the drivers for my Thunderbolt drive.
    Restarted with the option (alt) key pressed down, chose the Windows drive, but Windows Boot Manager still didn't pop up to allow me to choose the Windows installation on the external Thunderbolt drive.
    Booted from the Windows DVD and chose Repair.
    Restarted with the option (alt) key pressed down, chose the Windows drive, and now Windows Boot Manager finally popped up, which allowed me to choose the Windows installation on the external Thunderbolt drive again, phew!
    So, I can run Windows 7 from the external Thunderbolt drive, but I have to use 20GB of my internal drive for a Windows installation I'll never use. Not the best solution, but at least I've saved 30GB of space compared to my previous Bootcamp partition - and I now have enough space to install the Windows 7 software I need on the external Thunderbolt drive...

  • I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows.  How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

      I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows.  How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?

    That doesn't sound good. It sounds like the power outage might have corrupted the partition for OS X. I would suggest booting from the Install DVD that came with your Mac while holding down the C key. Once you have selected the language start up Disk Utility from the pull down menu and repair the disk. Once you have done that then repair permissions also.

    I have a Hp Pavilion dv-7013cl Entertainment PC and everything was working perfectly. I updated to Windows 8 about a month ago and had some problems. I then did a clean install of Windows 8 and now all the bugs are fixed except my DVD drive will not work. 
    I insert a DVD or CD and nothing happens. I go to My Computer and click on it and it just ejects the DVD. I don't know what to do and need my DVD drive.
    Also, I tried to go to device manager and reinstall the driver but that didn't help.

  • Files moved to external hard drive - now nothing playing in iTunes...help!

    *Hi guys,*
    *Just wondering if someone can give me some advice really. I think / know I've made a bit of a botch up of my files :-(*
    *Here's the story - I'll try to be brief...I have done a number of different things to try and sort this mess out and this is the latest...*
    *- Laptop storage full, with over 5000 music files saved on it. Laptop unhappy - says needs more space. I try to accommodate.*
    *- Already have all music files backed up on external storage drive. Nice. Delete music files in C:/Program Files/iTunes file. Laptop happy - has enough space.*
    *- Delete current iTunes music files. Drag and drop music files from external hard drive into iTunes window. Transfers music. No problem.*
    *- Add new files to external hard drive - try to update in iTunes. iTunes not happy - shows exclamation marks by most songs, which then won't play.*
    *- iTunes only opened with external hard drive connected and working.*
    *- Me now not happy.*
    *- Try changing path where library is saved. Does nothing useful.*
    *- Only available option is to click on each track and manually locate it. Not fun when there are 600+ files.*
    *- Decide to drag and drop files into iTunes window again.*
    *- Now ended up with 12000 tracks in my iTunes, half of which are duplicates with exclamation marks that won't play.*
    *- Now at end of my tether. Takes hours to move tracks and now using up unecessary room with unplayable tracks.*
    *Does anyone know a. where I went wrong (given I've faffed around with it so much...I just want it organised once and for all...) and more importantly, b. what I can do to sort this mess out.*
    *Is it actually possible to have all your music stored externally but to have them play through iTunes to transfer onto my iPod???*
    *Also, if I used my iPod as a disk drive, and copied the files straight onto there from my hard drive, would they actually play, thus ruling out iTunes altogether?*
    *Many thanks in advance.*
    *Frustrated MP3 wrangler*

    *Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
    *Thank you!*

  • RMBP, Windows 7 64 bit, thunderbolt external drive

    I finally figured out how to install and run Win 7 off of my thunderbolt drive (seagate). 
    the rMBP requires a FAT partition to be created on the interal SSD.  If you use bootcamp utility it creates a huge 20GB partition.  I was able to create a small FAT partition on the internal SSD and then proceed to install and run win 7 off of the external thunderbolt drive. 
    PROCEDURE:
    1.  run diskutil command:
    Code: 
    diskutil list
    you will need to know if your internal SSD is disk0 or disk1 (in this guide it was disk0
    2.  Create the small partition:
    ***my ssd is a 512 GB drive, you can break down the partition here ***
    Code: 
    diskutil resizevolume /dev/disk0s2 494G MS-DOS FAT 5G
    3.  Within Mac, create a single msdos partition on the external thunderbolt drive.  (GUID or MBR)
    4.  for the rMBP, use the Bootcamp assistant utility to create your USB windows 7 installer from an iso and also with the bootcamp drivers.
    5.  Reboot and press the option key at the chime.
    6.  Choose the windows installer
    7.  at the drive screen of the installer you will see your 2 drives. drive0 maybe the external.  Format the external drive ntfs and then install to the drive.
    8.  On reboot and eventually install bootcamp drivers.
    Trial and error:
    I tried install without internal partition and received 0x8030024 error which in some of apple forums can be overcome by removing the main drive.  I did this but installer would freeze.
    Good luck.  If you need any help let me know.

    I have a related question. I have a 2012 top-of-the-line iMac with Thunderbolt, and I already have the internal SSD partitioned into both Mac and Bootcamp running Windows 7 64 bit. The internal hard drive is also partitioned into both mac and PC hard drives  I just added a 4 TB external Thunderbolt drive (Seagate Backup Plus using the external Seagate Thunderbolt adapter/dock), and I do NOT want to install Windows bootcamp on the external drive - I just want to partition it so that the Mac has access to 2 TB and Bootcamp has access to the other 2 TB. Using Mac Disk Utility, I can easily partition it, although I can't format the PC side into NTSF. However, when I startup using Windows, it doesn't seem to recognize either of the external hard drive partitions that the Mac side already recognizes. The Mac side even assigned little icons (automatically) to both partitions showing the Seagate harddrive docked in its little Thunderbolt adapter/dock. The PC side didn't assign icons, and didn't recognize either partition UNTIL I WENT INTO PC DISK MANAGEMENT AND FORMATTED THE PC PARTITION AGAIN, as NTSB.  Now the PC side recognizes the Windows Partitions, but still doesn't recognize the Mac partition - it says that partition hasn't been formatted yet. Oddly, the Mac side still recognizes both partitions even after I changed the PC version. So what's going on here? Does Windows require some sort of Thunderbolt driver in order to correctly recognize an external hard drive that Mac Disk Utility has formatted? I didn't have this problem on the internal hard drive that come in my iMac - it's recognized easily by both PC and Mac.
    I am using only the Windows NTSF partition on the external hard drive at the moment. I transferred all my Steam games to it as an experiment (about 350 GB). The games are running just fine, but it seems that the frame rates and speeds are slower than they were on the original internal hard drive. I bought the external Thunderbolt drive because it was supposed to be faster.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Updated itunes to 10.4.1.10 on Windows XP. Now cannot add files or album covers. please help

    Installed latest version of itunes when prompted yesterday. Using hp compaq laptop running Windows XP. Now cannot add files to library or add albulm covers. Tried to play new mp3s from external drive, that I was trying to add. got message saying "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error7 (windows error 1455)"
    Have also had a couple of  "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" forced shutdowns. Cannot find files to reinstall and itunes is telling me I am using the current version.
    Infuriating!!! Can you help me please?

    Asking me what I think is not what really matters here. What do you think? Do you want to wait for another update to iTunes in order to sync or backup your iPad again? That could be weeks down the road - no telling when it may be updated.
    Why dont you go through this support article and see if any of this stuff helps you? The article is for Windows users.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
    Here is something very simple to try. Quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then restart your iPad and try to sync/connect again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • There must be a real solution to "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"

    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    I've spent hours researching this error - Seems like many people have the same issue although there is no difinitive fix or known cause.
    I'm hoping someone here has an answer.
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM (HP)
    This is not an upgraded Vista system.
    It's not a specific driver related issue as it's the same response/effect be it graphics/chip set/usb/printer drivers.
    Please dont suggest to flatten and re-install or run a repair install - It's not an option, I only have remote access to the unit
    as it's currently in field use.
    This is a machine specific issue - identical machine purchased at the same time and configured the same has no issue.
    So the story.
    User has been fine for weeks - no hardware of software changes except Windows Updates.
    A Camera/USB connection that was working no longer does.
    Tried in all USB ports
    Plug in - windows announces found new hardware, tries to install drivers then fails
    with "Windows found software for your device but encountered an error installing ...."
    Device manager finds and identifies device although it is in the 'Unknown Device" category.
    Manually updating drivers via search/internet or point directly at a driver has exactly the same effect.
    Thinking this was just the camera drivers - I researched and downloaded new drivers from camera manufacturers sites
    Fuji and Canon.
    Same effect.
    Deleted/uninstalled drivers completely, deleted/uninstalled all USB root hub and USB devices (hidden and visible)
    SFC /Scannow finds no error
    Cold boot finds USB and chipset(?) devices on boot attempts to reinstall then we get
     "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    So now I have no usb devices at all - memory stick/card reader/printer...... nada.
    in fact if I try to update any device driver I get the same message generated.
    Restore point does not help either. 
    After much trawling I found reference to a permisions issue and stale driver cache data.
    (This is using an administrator account - not user with admin permissions?)
    I'm willing to try anything at this time
    I deleted the infcache.1 and other .dat files under c:\windows\system32\driverstore
    Copied the usb  .inf and .pnf from the appropriate FileRepository directory into c:\windows\inf
    Uninstalled all the usb/unkown devices from device manager again.
    Rebooted
    Takes a little longer to boot as I take it it's rebuilding the driver cache then
    a very short hurrah!!!
    I can now use usb memory card and pen drives - no issue
    Plug in a camera or printer...
    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    Several attempt at this trying different driver versions.
    It should not be vendor specific, the other field machine that works is using Microsoft drivers for these devices.
    I even copied the drivers from one machine to the other - repeated everything above...
    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    And then the nail in my sanity
    Try windows update....
    Reboot
    "Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error installing"
    but this time its different.
    The device it thinks it cannot install is the generic MTP-PTP drivers  (Photo Transfer Protocol -so am I getting somewhere)
    so it still finds but cannot install.
    The cameras are always found but appear as 'unknown devices' and cannot be accessed
    Uninstall all USB/unkown again - reboot..
    Same message and this time I've lost all the USB again.
    Restore point to before Win Update gets me USB back again although I still have no cameras  - so theres an update issue as well.
    This has to be tied down to a file access/ registry problem although I'm loath to go cutting about without some guidance.
    I'm no great believer in 'registry cleaners' unless anyone can point to a definitive/no ad's/sales version that really works.
    As I said above, flattening/rebuild at this time is not an option - the user is not best pleased and I'm completley stumped.
    If anyone has experienced(manu of you have) and fixed(still to find one) this issue please let me know how as soon as possible.
    Chris 

    I know I am replying to an old thread - but I have the answer and resolved this error, and since this message comes up first in search results, and part of my answer came from this thread, I wanted to help someone else as this took an extra
    12 hours and a lot of technical insight to resolve. See below for detailed explanation that others ask for above.
    My original issue was that iTunes didnt reinstall. generating this error that said I am trying to access an unavailable network resource and to browse to find itunes64setup (again). This may partly have been due to me deleting old install version folders.
    Research led me to completely uninstall apple products and reinstall per their instruction and fixed the issue with iTunes. see
    Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 - Apple Support
    The SAME error I had while updating itunes recurred while uninstalling it from my Windows 7 SP1 system...so I went to microsoft Fixit and attempted to correct and it properly uninstalled iTunes for me, which allowed the reinstall.
    What didnt work was my USB web root/ root hub, which partly involved my older system and USB 1.0, and the delete/reinstall existing drivers with the c:\windows\winsxs folder as source of drivers (thank you Magon Liu!!!) which I had to figure out what/why
    and how.
    Then I had an intel chipset issue...my new Iphone wasn't recognizing in plug and play, and there was an error with installing the device drivers for my new iphone 6. Manual applications didn't work, even though a generic device showed in control panel -
    device manager with a yellow !
    Per above blog answer - I tried to remove and reinstall my USB controller or update the drivers (I have an Alienware M15 laptop - a few years old.) I discovered that the USB host controller - an Intel(R) 5 Series / 3400 Series Chipset family USB Enhanced
    Host controller - (port) was not covered by current Intel chipset programs which are Series 6 and later, but did have an update (8/20/2009 v9.1.1.1020)  that supported USB 2.0 (and therefore 3.0 backwards compatibility which as an issue with my new iPhone
    and some USB thumb drives.) To find this I had to look at the Support - Downloads and Drivers - browse for drivers and somewhere found an option to look for older no longer supported drivers. I found infinst_autol.exe for my case.
    Once downloaded I tried to install and failed. Found the log in C:\Intel\Logs and contains:
    [InstallDev]
              [Device]
                Driver = C:\Users\DAVIDS~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7\ibexusb.inf

                Using RegDeleteKeyEx
    !!!         ERROR 0xE0000246: DriverPackageInstall generated an unexpected error
     HERE'S THE ADDED EXPLANATION TO BRIAN'S POST THAT EXPLAINS THE SECURITY ISSUE:
    This turned out to be an error for two reasons. First, after manually running the command in an "run as administrator" window (same error result), thinking it related to my anti-virus (turned that off/disabled firewall and A/V), and from this thread
    granting my user administrative rights to files in an install folder and trying to reinstall inf files and drivers from C:\Windows\winsxs vs my copied infinst_autol.exe expansion (as found from log in C:\Users\David Samuels\AppData\Local\Temp\IPMx7\WIN7 folder).....that
    there was an easier solution as the reason this error actually happens is a permissions problem.
    To access the proper windows system folders - you have to be the TrustedInstaller service - not just in the administrator group...or you have to be the actual "Administrator" account. To become actual administrator on
    your own laptop, Open a command window "run CMD.exe as administrator", then execute command
    > net user administrator /active:yes
    This creates a local PC Administrator account with no password. Coincidentally it has proper permissions to windows directories for installing drivers. Log in as this user, go to device manager and update the USB hub and any other drivers. if updating the
    USB root - it doesn't replace it right away as the system cant disable the currently resident in memory "running" driver  - you have to update, then restart the system, log in as administrator and repeat at the next lower layer that has issues.
    Once completed - log in as yourself again and disable the administrator account in a command window with > net user administrator /active:no
    This in my case enabled all my USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices on my originally only USB 1.0 laptop and everything else works properly again - I hope this helps many of you to resolve your own issues that were difficult to find and resolve and that got as far as
    this thread. Good luck!

  • Hp ENVY m6-010dx Notebook Windows 7 Driver Package SOLVED

    As many of you know, hp does not provide Windows 7 Drivers for many newer notebook models that shipped with either Windows 8 or 8.1. Some models, such as ProBook, do come with both Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 licenses and have thus hp provides drivers for both.
    The hp ENVY m6-010dx ships with Windows 8.1 installed and only has listed drivers for that operating system on the hp Support Site.  Many of the Windows 8.1 Drivers will work for Windows 7 - but some will not.
    I have complied a Windows 7 Driver (64bit) Package for the ENVY m6-010dx (my guess is it will also work on other slightly different ENVY Models with AMD Processors such as mine).
    If you have an hp ENVY m6-010dx and hate Windows 8.1 and want to downgrade to Windows 7 - here is the link to the driver package I have put together. It's a large file - well worth the download time though if you want to use Windows 7.
