Can not expand C drive

i have a lenovo ideapad y510 running on windows vista with a hard drive partitioned in 2 named drives and 1 unnamed -
C:\29.29GB Simple Basic NTFS Healthy(System, Boot, PageFile, Active,CrashDump,PrimaryPartition)6.39GB freespace  D:\188.80GB Simple Basic NTFS Healthy (Logical Drive)188.70GB freespace
unnamed\14.79GB Simple Basic      Healthy(EISA Configuration)14.79 GB freespace- 
i would like to expand my c;\ since it is almost full but when i open disk management and right click expand is not an avaliable option. is there something i need to do to one of the other drives first? the laptop came partitioned this way and i have never delt with a split hard drive before.
any input is greatly appreciated.

All right! If you really cannot expend your partition C in Disk Management, a third party partition utility can be another great way for you to go on. Do you know anything about such utility?
In fact, I also don’t know such stuff before. But, after experiencing similar partition resizing problems, I finally know and lean a lot. So, I come here and hope my words can make a difference.
Here are some partition tools that I have tested before:
IM-Magic Partition Resizer Free
(free, fast and risk-free)
http://www.resize-c.com/
AOMEI Partition Assistant (time-consuming)
http://www.disk-partition.com/.free-partition-software.html.
GParted (too simply)
http://gparted.sourceforge.net./
PS: No matter what has happened, you’d better back up everything important in case of any data loss.
Yes, you are right! The listed partition tools really helped me a lot, as my system partition C also cannot be extended in Disk Management. At first, I just planed to try all your recommended partition tools. But, fortunately, the first
IM-Magic Partition tool amazingly added enough free space to my C partition after trying. So, I just did not keep trying all your listed ones.
Moreover, in order to avoid unnecessary data loss, I also followed your suggestion to back up everything important by applying a free backup tool named EaseUs Todo Backup Free.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

  • Windows error msg:  "Can not write to drive G: Joe's iPod"

    Halfway thru the download process (1780 songs) from itunes to my ipod I get a windows error msg:
    "Can not write to file G: Joe's ipod. All the data has been lost. Check for an error on your computer or network."
    Getting the error msg: " Can not write to drive G: Joe's ipod. All data has been lost, your computer or network may have failed."
    "Windows/ My computer" shows my ipod as drive G: and itunes starts up properly when I plug my ipod into my firewire port. About halfway thru the download (1780 songs) the transfer from itunes to my ipod stops and I get the above error message. (Never worked with USB). I am not on a network.
    According to tech supt, I have:
    -Installed Service Pack 2,
    -Restored ipod to factory settings
    -Installed update 5.0.1. Everything worked fine last Feb with the version 4 of itunes when I first loaded everything up.
    Have tried to reinstall version 4, but no luck.
    My ipod charges fine thru the firewire cable.
    Any ideas?? Thanx anyone.

    Joe,

  • Can not access iCloud drive from iPad

    can not access iCloud drive from iPad

    iOS 8/8.1 does not have an iCloud Drive app (that works like OneDrive or Dropbox, etc..). Instead you have to open the application first (ie. Numbers) which will show you your iCloud drive files that you can open and work with.
    This is the exact reason I am currently migrating all of my documents BACK to OneDrive. If I don't know what the filetype is of a file that I am looking to open (ie. Word document or PDF) then I'm screwed. At least with OneDrive (or DropBox, or Google Drive, etc.) I can browse my files from my mobile device.

    = No SB0220 support available? SO, IS THERE exactly a model numbered as SB0220 AT ALL?
    I think there is not.
    Yes My Sound Card is exaclty SB0220. I have downloaded the patch and start it. After that I configured the installer and now I have creative drivers. But are they the best for my sound card? After all I`ve pathed the installer and some sort lied it. If the drivers are for my model, why should I path it's
    Yes, I've seen a true SB0220 too on a picture after writing that comment so there is true SB0220 model. But, are you sure your card is SB0220? Did you look the number from a sticker on card board w/ serial number lik MSB022xxxxxxxxxxx where the SB022x is the true model number for your card.
    Why you didn't got drivers installed for your card is, because the installer doesn't support the model SB0220 (supported cards are listed in ctcomp.dat -> this is the file ctcomp.exe patches).
    IIrc, those drivers are the latest ones for your card. If you like to, you can try soft-mod your card the way, you can use Audigy series drivers (which are a bit newer) -> http://www.tech-pc.co.uk/audigy-2.php (i.e. you just use ctcomp.exe utility to patch the installer for Audigy drivers (use these drivers st - http://www.station-drivers.com/telechargement/creative/%20audigy%205.2.0.042.exe) (newer installer maybe can't be patched w/ ctcomp).

  • I have a compaq 6200 pro i can not find the driver for SM bus controller.

    I down graded the 6200 pro with the i3 chip  to winXP and now I can not find the driver for the SM bus controller does this system have a sm bus controller?

    Hi: Please click on the device in the device manager. Then click on the details tab. Post the top string of characters you see. Those will identify the type and model of the missing device and I can send you the link to the drivers. It is either your AMT driver, TPM driver or IMEI driver. In the meantime, install the chipset driver and reboot if you have not done so already. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=5037900&prodNameId=5037902&swEnvOID=1093&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=vc-88640-1 Paul

  • Disk Utility - Restore can not unmount target drive

    Just got a brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. As usual there are "issues"..
    I wanted to move my old TimeMachine backup (250 GB) to a larger Firewire drive (500 GB) and found a lot of instructions on that.. Problem is they don't work on Lion. (Both are Iomega drives with Firewire)
    The instructions suggest that using Disk Utility to "restore" the new drive from the old will work but I always get the Error "Can not unmount target drive..." and I can see that the source drive is unmounted but not the target.  I did all of the "First Aid" stuff to both drives.. (and the target drive was turned into a MacOS partition and verified..)
    I then tried the exact same process on my old MacBook Pro (Leopard) and everything worked as expected..
    Was there another way to do this in Lion.. or is this broken..???
    Thanks for any feedback..
    John..

    Is the new drive prepped?
    Drive Preparation
    1. If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    In Disk Utility you clone as follows:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new backup drive. Source means the old backup drive.
    If you still have a problem then boot into the Recovery HD:
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Choose Disk Utility from the main menu then click on the Continue button.

    Hello,

    Hi--
    Can you list the steps that lead this problem, please?
    The drive offline message is a symptom of some kind of connection or underlying hardware problem.
    If there were no system changes that lead to this problem, then I would look for connection or hardware issues.

  • Can not Access disk drive attached to WRT350N via an FTP client

    Background
     I have a WRT350N v1 running the most current firmware. I have a static IP address for the WRT350N and I can ping it over the internet.  I have a disk drive attached to the 350N with a FAT32 partition that has been set up for shared access for a selected group and user. I have worked with cicso/linksys support to verify the linksys350N is set up correctly (?).
    Problem
    I can not access the disk drive attached to the WRT350N via an FTP client. I have tried the following FTP Clients: Transmit and Filezilla.  I get a "Connection established, waiting for welcome message...' message on the FTP client. Then it says Connect timeout, Can not connect to server. I CAN connect to other FTP sites so its not the FTP client software.
    What I have done so far
    1. deleted the old  and added a new FTP group and user
    2.  unplugged and reconnected my WRT350N and my cable modem
    3. Contacted Cisco/linksys support on-line and they verified my setup and can ping my 350N but thats as far as they are willing to help
    I haven' a clue as to what to do next. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. 

    Access your router set-up and make sure you have :
    1. Enabled FTP Server and Internet Access under the FTP Server subtab under Storage...
    2. Reduced the MTU size to 1300 under SetUp...
    3. Unchecked Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...
    If you have done all this and nothing works, then, you need to upgrade your router's firmware and re-configure your router and then enter the settings...
    Download Firmware 3.23 MB...
    Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
    In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
    Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
    Now reset your router :
    Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    1. Enable FTP Server and Internet Access under the FTP Server subtab under Storage...
    2. Reduce the MTU size to 1300 under SetUp...3. Uncheck Filter Anonymous Internet Requests...See if this works for you...

  • Can not connect to drive on airport extreme n after sleep

    When I put my MacBook to sleep without disconecting HD I can not connect to it. I get a server not available message. I have to reboot airport extreme. Any suggestion?

    There's at least three discussions on this. The problem is that when your computer goes to sleep, there is a possibility that your router will renew DHCP and your IP number will change. This causes the drive to disconnect in a bad way and it will not reconnect. The default setting on the router is only 4 hours so some people have tried setting the number really high to fix the problem however this is not totallly reliable.
    Reliable Fix:
    Assign static IP numbers for all computers that use the hard drive. You can either do this by going to the DHCP tab and entering MAC numbers for each machine under the "reserve IPs" option, or you can do it the old fashioned way by configuring each computer in network preferences with a static IP number.
    For my network, I am configuring this on the computers for non portable hardware and using the "reserve" option on the router for portables.
    If you use your air disc while away from home on a network where you do not have this sort of control over assigning IP numbers then don't let your computer sleep without first disconnecting the drive.

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:

    If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:
