D drive really small

I bought a A10 G505s laptop from newegg and want to setup my backup settings. However, my C drive is 900 gigs, while my D drive is only 25 gigs. The backup default location is the D drive, and it would seem kind of pointeless to backup the C drive to the C drive. Do I need to repartition or something because my settings telling me I need at least 80 gigs worth of memory to backup.
Solved!

Hi illidan,
I’m sorry to inform you that as the OS installed is Windows 8.1, the only available option is to create Recovery Drive. Below is the link to create Recovery Drive for Windows 8.1:
Create a USB recovery drive
Do post us back for further queries.

  • "Hard drive is smaller than the one originally installed"

    Hi, 
    Recently, a coworker installed several viruses on his 9300 elite running Windows 7 x32. After trying several things and not being able to get rid of them, I ordered the recovery disks from HP. I ran the disks, and everything appeared to work fine until the recovery finished. The PC would restart, act like it was booting into windows (windows splash screen), then go to an HP screen that would say "HP is initializing software install" or something along those lines. It would sit for a minute then give me the error "an unrecoverable error has occurred. please contact system administrator. press enter to reboot".
    I thought it might be a problem with the disks, so I ordered replacement disks. Now, as soon as I put in the supplemental disk and click "next", I get the error "hard drive is smaller than one originally installed". No hard drive has ever been replaced on the PC that I know of. I'm not sure how to fix this.

    I just got this same message--did you ever get this resolved?

  • Hard drive is smaller error on factory reset

    I just replaced the hard drive on an HP Pavilion s5610y slimline, and it appeared successful as it began installing Windows.   I then got "the hard drive is smaller than one originally installed, cannot continue.  I replaced a 640 GB grive with a 1TB.  HELP?!

    Hi,
    Assuming this is just a problem with the recovery media, another option you could consider, as opposed to using Recovery Discs, is to create your own 'retail' Windows 7 installation disc.
    Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
    An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your PC which is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn ( Note: You may want to de-select the additional software offerings during the installation of ImgBurn ) to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  The Windows Image source is Digital River.
    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit.
    Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

  • Internet pages coming up really small

    Internet pages with Mozilla come up really small. I have a 22" computer screen, and an internet page will come up as maybe 8x10. I can't even read the type, it's so small.
    With Internet Explorer, it comes up fine. I know I can use Control then scroll my mouse to zoom, but I don't want to do that on every page. How can I get this fixed permanently, and not have it affect the way pages come up on Internet Explorer?

    You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

    * NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/

  • Currently playing music screen shows song and artist in really small text

    I have a 64gb ipod touch that i bought last year. I mostly use it in the car while driving and the music currently playing screen shows the artist name and song title unreadable. The text size is really small at the top of the screen and its dark grey in color with a darker grey background. The ipod touch has a decent sized screen, but it's all wasted to have this big useless music note displayed.
    How can I display the artist name and song title properly on my ipod?

    have you tried the five Rs?

  • When importing files, my view window to search for files is really small, how do I make it bigger so I can actually search for files?

    When importing files, my view window to search for files is really small, how do I make it bigger so I can actually search for files?

    How big this is depends on the size of your screen. On a 13" it is really small. But you can improve things a bit. Click the green button to make the import window fill the screen.
    Drag the area between the file list and the preview area up or down to increase one or the other:

  • The information on the website got really small.. I don't kwow what I did, but I can't seem to get it back to regular, help?

    I was filling out an application and when I tried to scroll in a small drop down list all the text on the site got really small. As I tried to make it big agian, I did something that changed the page and caused me to lose the application I was almost done with. I went to start over and now it is still tiny... how do I make it big agian. The rest of the computer online or not are all normal, it is just this page on the interenet. Can anyone help?

    on  firefox, not sure about safari, try pressing (cloverleaf/) and + (plus) key a few times, which should enlarge stuff that needs to be .   You may have turned on text zooming. command+Shift+F8 key.  can't help you much more than that

  • Converting video to 3gp makes the video's dimension really small

    I've recently made a movie with iMovie 08 and wanted to send it to my cellphone(NOT iphone).
    I first export it to a m4v and then use QuickTime Pro to convert it to a 3gp. But the resultant video is really small in dimension, that i even see pixels on my small phone screen. How could this be solved?(or how could i prevent QuickTime from reducing the size yet making it a 3gp?)

    Use the "Expert" QuickTime settings to move from iMovie to 3gp formats.
    No need to export (and convert) twice.

  • Ebay descriptions contain really small fonts using firefox. ok with ie

    When using ebay, if I click on an item the text in the description is really small and hard to read. This has only been happening for around a couple of weeks now.
    Everything else on ebay - and other websites - is fine.
    If I look at ebay item descriptions using Internet Explorer, there's no problem at all - text is big and easy to read.

  • Files opening really small

    When I open up a psd files they open at 0.13%. Really small. Today they all opened at this size. I'm using
    CS4 on a Mac Pro running OS 10.7.5. How do I get files to open at 100%.

    Sounds like you've pulled up the bottom of the Application Frame to stop it obscuring the Desktop then subsequently opened files are opened tiny. If so, click the + (green) button at top left of Photoshop to maximize the AF, then if you don't want the AF, disable it in Window menu.

  • Images pasted are really small

    Hello,
    I'm a newbie in Photoshop, can anybody explain why I open a letter sized file in Photoshop and everything I paste is really (really) small? I paste the same image in a letter sized word document and it occupies almost the entire page.... if I zoom Photoshop to 100% it will display the image "the same  size" as in my word document but obviously when I print it I can see the difference in size.... how can I paste in Photoshop an image (it could be from the internet) so when it prints it displays the same size as if I paste it and print it in a word doc? what am I missing? please help this newbie in distress.......

    It sounds like you are working with low resolution files and pasting them into print resolution templates.
    For example the images you have grabbed online will most likely be 72dpi, and Photoshops letter template will be 300dpi.
    A little background reading on image resolution and dpi/ppi via Wikipedia will help you here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch#DPI_or_PPI_in_digital_image_files
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_resolution
    If you would like to stretch the image to fit the photoshop template there are a number of ways to do this, the easiest way would be to paste your image, then hit CTRL+T on your keyboard and then while holding the SHIFT key simply grab one of the control points that has appeared on the corner of your image and then drag it.
    I think Microsoft Word is simply stretching the image to fit automatically
    Hope this helps

  • My games on facebook are opening really small...this only happens on firefox

    my games on facebook are opening really small.facebok home page is fine,its only when i open farmville etc that it opens very small ..this only started recently
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 2 weeks ago

    My screen for the games on Facebook is super small also. This just started for me yesterday. The screen is so small that I am unable to see all of the aspects of each game and can't play them correctly. It's about half the size it should be. I'm not very happy with it either, because it just means that I will have to use chrome instead of firefox, which I prefer, to use Facebook now. If there isn't going to be a quick fix for this, I will just have to delete firefox and go back to using chrome.
