How to create drive partition in window 8.1

i have number of doubt on partition of disk management. i have new dell laptop, little difficult to using the same and i want to partition of the c disk and want to create d disk, but i unable to perform the same.
when i click to the shrink volume and want to shrink the same, but a error flash out (there is no space on the disk to comple this operation).
i had understand the same and when i'm going to delete the extra partition called health, EFI system, health recovery partition. the option of the delete volume is not available. 
please give me some idea for doing partition to save the data, video and picture. if there an alternative option to save the same, please share it to me.

Shrinking or using any other third party tools to create partition from C is not suggested. It usually results in complete installation of Windows, with files being lost forever.
As a workaround, you can either create and mount a VHD/VHDx or map a folder inside the C drive (in C:\) as a separate drive. This will look like a separate drive and the steps are quite easy compared to creating a new physical partition. The following links

  • How to Create Multiple Partitions in Windows?

    I have just carried out a clean install of Lion then used Boot Camp to install Windows.
    With Snow Leopard I had the ability to create multiple partitions in Windows but this seems impossible in Lion for whatever reason.
    Can anyone please tell me how to achieve this?

    If you're using Boot Camp, I'd post your question on the Boot Camp section:

  • How to create recovery partition in new(changed) HDD.

    my new HP pavilion g4 laptop HDD have crased, then I replce it by HP care. I upload original win 7 by recovery disk(DVD) but when I open my computer it shows only one partition (C drive, there is no recovery partition and HP tool.
    So how to creates recovery partition by recovery disk(DVD)...........please help me.

    Creating the recovery partition
    Right-click the start orb, and start 'Disk Management'.
    Shrink the C: drive by let's say 20-30GB.
    Then create a new Partition and assign the R: label to it and name it RECOVERY.
    Then open command prompt as administrator and type: 'recimg /createimage <directory>',
    In this case: 'recimg /createimage R:\' to save it on the new partition.
    This step may consume a lot of time.
    Now we need to register the newly created recovery image: 'recimg /setcurrent <directory>'
    'recimg /setcurrent R:\'
    Voila you are done.
    Restoring from recovery partition
    You may want to use this restoring method by default, because it is the easiest way to do so if your recovery partition is still intact. If not, look at the other recovery methods to see which suits you best. This is usually the way you reset or refresh your Windows installation if you purchase a computer from a brand like Lenovo instead of building one yourself
    Press the Windows-key + C to open the charms bar or swipe in from the right.
    Click Settings.
    Click Change PC Settings.
    Click Update & Recovery in the menu on the left.
    Click Recovery.
    If all your documents are safe and sound in your user folder, you can use Refresh your PC without affecting files. However I still recommend taking a back-up... If you want to do a complete reinstallation of Windows and also clean your user folder in the process then choose Remove everything and reinstall Windows.

  • Create another partition in Windows

    Hi,
    I'm using Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and I installed Windows 7 using Boot Camp.
    I want to create another partition for Windows for personal files.
    How can I do that?
    I used some Windows applications such as Acronis but it was unable to identify partitions.

    NOT on the same drive!
    Buy a PC. People tend to do what you want (I don't but I only use 35GB for system under Windows and about same for a Mac OS X volume).
    Boot Camp and Windows on Mac is a one size fits all and only supports
    GPT 200MB
    EFI 128MB
    Mac OS HFS+
    NTFS
    4 total - MBR is a subset of GPT (all drives with GPT/GUID have at least a zero size MBR protective entry).

  • How to create restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1

    hi i am bhaskar ... how to create restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1 and how to restore system from a restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1.. is this option available or not ? what is the difference between shadow copies and
    restore point ? instead of restore point we have this shadow copies option in windows server 2008 ?Bhaskar

    AFIK, Restore Points doesn’t exist in Windows 2008.
    Volume Shadow Copy option can be used to achieve:
    Creating consistent backups of open files and applications
    Creating shadow copies for shared folders
    Creating transportable shadow copies using a hardware provider — for backup, testing and data mining scenarios
    Quickly recovering and restoring files and data
    It is more like a file, data, application backup.

  • How to create DB partitioning in active data tables for ods?

    hi all,
    Can anyone let me know how to create DB partitioning in active data tables for ods. if any docs pls share with me at my email id : [email protected]
    regds
    haritha

    Haritha,
    The following steps will briefly explain you to improve the performance in terms of DB partitioning as well as loading. Please find the same,
    transaction RSCUSTA2,
    oss note 120253 565725 670208
    and remove 'bex reporting' setting in ods if that ods not used for reporting.
    hope this helps.
    565725
    Symptom
    This note contains recommendations for improving the load performance of ODS objects in Business Information Warehouse Release 3.0B and 3.1 Content.
    Other terms
    Business Information Warehouse, ODS object, BW, RSCUSTA2, RSADMINA
    Solution
    To obtain a good load performance for ODS objects, we recommend that you note the following:
    1. Activating data in the ODS object
    In the Implementation Guide in the BW Customizing, you can implement different settings under Business Information Warehouse -> General BW settings -> Settings for the ODS object that will improve performance when you activate data in the ODS object.
    1. Creating SIDs
    The creation of SIDs is time-consuming and may be avoided in the following cases:
    a) You should not set the indicator for BEx Reporting if you are only using the ODS object as a data store.Otherwise, SIDs are created for all new characteristic values by setting this indicator.
    b) If you are using line items (for example, document number, time stamp and so on) as characteristics in the ODS object, you should mark these as 'Attribute only' in the characteristics maintenance.
    SIDs are created at the same time if parallel activation is activated (see above).They are then created using the same number of parallel processes as those set for the activation. However:if you specify a server group or a special server in the Customizing, these specifications only apply to activation and not the creation of SIDs.The creation of SIDs runs on the application server on which the batch job is also running.
    1. DB partitioning on the table for active data (technical name:
    The process of deleting data from the ODS object may be accelerated by partitioning on the database level.Select the characteristic after which you want deletion to occur as a partitioning criterion.For more details on partitioning database tables, see the database documentation (DBMS CD).Partitioning is supported with the following databases:Oracle, DB2/390, Informix.
    1. Indexing
    Selection criteria should be used for queries on ODS objects.The existing primary index is used if the key fields are specified.As a result, the characteristic that is accessed more frequently should be left justified.If the key fields are only partially specified in the selection criteria (recognizable in the SQL trace), the query runtime may be optimized by creating additional indexes.You can create these secondary indexes in the ODS object maintenance.
    1. Loading unique data records
    If you only load unique data records (that is, data records with a one-time key combination) into the ODS object, the load performance will improve if you set the 'Unique data record' indicator in the ODS object maintenance.
    Hope this helps..

    Ok Great,
    Will installing Boot Camp drivers allow me to both read and write to the OS X Volume from windows?
    This is important as if it will it means i can make the windows partition a lot smaller and keep all my files on the OS X partition which would be preferable.
    Jon
    No, OSX will be read only (from Windows) and vice versa. (you can install 3rd party utilities on either or both partitions, to make read/write possible)

  • How to create a partition on existing table?

    Hey
    Could some one please tell me on how to create a partition on existing table?

    Could some one please tell me on how to create a partition on existing table?
    You can't - that isn't possible. Unless a table is already partitioned you can NOT create another partition on it.
    You must either redefine the table as a partitioned table (using the DBMS_REDEFINITION package) or create a new partitioned table and move the data to its new partitions.
    The choice will depend on how much data the existing table has and whether you can do it offline.

  • BC Assistant won't create single partition for Windows on four drive MacPro

    I have a Mac Pro with four HDs, and want to dedicate one of them to be a Windows disk.
    When I run Bootcamp assistant and select the intended windows disc, I have the options to partition or "Erase the Disk and Create a Single Partition for Windows".
    I select the Single partition option and continue, but the Bootcamp volume is not created. In Disk Utility it appears as an unmounted disk with name like disk4s2 or similar.
    If I select the partition option, it correctly creates an "Untitled" mac partition and a "Bootcamp" partition.
    I have repeated this with different hard drives and after zeroing out the intended disk.
    Thanks for any help.
    PS I have Softraid on my system, although neither my Boot drive or the intended windows drive are converted to Softraid format. The Softraid driver is installed on my boot drive. Do you think this might be the problem?

    Thanks Hatter,
    Thanks for the answer, which unfortunately isn't quite appropriate in my case, which I didn't lay out fully in the interest of brevity.
    My usual configuration is with a the bay 2 HD a dedicated Windows 7 whole disk installation, which works fine.
    I occasionally need to support my father with Vista problems. I used to have Vista on this bay 2 HD, and still have a Winclone image from then.
    My goal is to have a spare sled and slot in the Vista HD in when I need Vista. I don't want to start again installing etc.
    Since starting this thread, I decided to proceed with the Bootcamp assistant option which worked, ie to partition to an OSX and Windows partition, and make the OSX one as small as poss (5Gb) then delete that partition. I have restored the Winclone image, and all is working exactly as I want it, except I have lost 5gb. Not a big deal.

  • How to create a partition using the free space of an existing[SOLVED]

    Hi Guys,
    Since I could not install fifa 09 using wine on linux, I need to create a partition where I can install windows first in order to install fifa 09 on it. How can I create a partition using the rest free space of my , for example, /home partition?How can I do it in a secure way (meaning without doing something to my existing archlinux installation files and system files) ?

    Use Parted Magic. But you *should* backup any important files just in case, regardless of method you use. You never know. Someone could unplug your computer, a power surge might happen, etc. A cousin of mine actually did something similar while I was gaming, the extension cord has a red button which he "accidentally" pressed. I would've cracked his skull had he done it while resizing a partition.
    Anyway, the partitioning scheme should be the first thing you do when you decide go this route (dual booting). I remember about a year ago I forced myself to use Linux by formatting the entire drive to ext4, except for the 2 GB + 20 GB ntfs partitions. It was what kick-started me on this path. Here's my partitioning scheme for both computers, maybe you'll get an idea and do something similar:
    Older computer:
    2 GB ntfs - MicroXP
    8 GB ext4 - Arch Linux + Home dir (to keep the dot files organized in one place)
    20 GB ntfs - games partition
    Rest is for media, formatted as ext3 with inode 128 (so it can be loaded as Read-Only in Windows too via Ext2fsd so they won't be affected in case of a virus infection)
    New computer:
    20 GB Windows 7
    10 GB Arch Linux + home dir
    50 GB games partition
    Rest of the space is ext4 mounted to /media
    Note that they're all primary partitions for remembering easier (sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4) instead of a combination of primary and extended which would probably look like sda1, sda5, sda6, sda7, etc.

  • How to create recovery disk for windows 8.1 after update from windows 8.

    My laptop came with windows 8 and i have recovery discs for windows 8.
    Now i've updated to windows 8.1, so i want to creat recovery discs for windows 8.1.
     So in future when i use recovery discs i dont have to download windows 8.1 again.
    Please tell me if there is any way to do this.....

    As colakid posted, in Windows 8 the ability to create a recovery CD/DVD has gone. Your options are to:
    create a recovery USB; or
    create a recovery image.
    Recovery USB
    Colakid's post talks you through how to make a recovery USB: from control panel, choose Recovery, then Create a Recovery Drive, and follow the prompts.
    However, the 'recovery USB' can be a bit misleading. When the wizard starts, there is an option to 'copy the recovery partition from the PC to the recovery drive'. If you do not check this option, you will still need installation media to reset your PC.
    Since you have upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, you will probably not be able to check this option, as it will be greyed out (like it is in the picture in Colakid's post).
    If you go ahead and create the USB anyway, you will be able to boot to it, but you won't be able to reinstall Windows unless you have the installation media (or possibly a system image, though I haven't tried that).
    Recovery image
    The recovery image is an image of your computer that Windows will use when you select the 'refresh my pc' option. You can create a recovery image using the recimg.exe tool.
    First, open an elevated command prompt (type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter).
    Next, create the recovery image by typing:
    recimg /createimage [path]
    Where [path] is the folder you want the image in, eg C:\Recovery. You cannot set the file name - it will always be called CustomRefresh.wim.
    Let it run its course. When it's done, you can check that it is the current recovery image by typing
    recimg /showcurrent
    It's important to keep in mind what a recovery image contains. It will have your Windows system files (in their current state), and the desktop apps you have installed (so it makes sense to do this after a fresh install of Windows). It will
    not backup any Metro apps or user files, because these are not deleted during a system refresh. If you want a complete backup of everything on your computer the way it is now, you should make take a complete system image (which
    can be done from the File History settings in control panel - at the bottom left there will be a 'System Backup Image' option - or you can do it using any other backup software like Ghost or Acronis).
    In my case, I created the recover image straight after upgrading to Windows and it was about 6 GB.
    Prepare/Create and register an recovery partition, so the option Copy the Recovery Partition becomes available in the recovery drive UI  application.
    In elevated command run> RECIMG -CREATEIMAGE C:\REFRESHIMAGE< 
    This will create a new custom.wim in a folder Refreshimage.
    Now lets get ready to register the path of the image, so our create recovery drive option(COPY THE RECOVERY PARTITION FROM THE PC TO THE RECOVERY DRIVE) becomes available.
    >  In the folder you created there will be a> custom.wim<
    change it to>INSTALL.wim<
    > Create a folder In Cd/directory using Elevated command> mkdir c:\Win8.1-Recovery,>
    Win81-Recovery<.
    > Copy the  INSTALL.WIM. Put in the Win81-recovery folder created.
    > Run in elevated commad>REAGENTC /SetOSImage /Path C:\Win81-Recovery\INSTALL.WIM /Index 1<
    Do not copy the arrows if using copy and paste, that is my way of pointing out lines of code
    Information provided by the link below, thanks Keith. I simplified the process for easy following and added my own tweak from trial and error for the install.
