How to delete the OEM partition?

I just purchased a Lenovo desktop, and wanted to repartition.
Currently I have 3 partitions, here is a picture I took of how it looks:

I wanted to partition my C: so it is not both system AND data. I wanted to make a separate Data drive.
In addition, I am wanting to use a paid version of an image backup software that I like, so I don't need the One-Key recovery partion.
Am I right in assuming the 25gb portion is the One-Key recovery? If so, I am not able to delete it. Right clicking on it only has a "help" option.
The other partions can be right clicked on with standard options to (shrink, extend, delete etc).
Any help would be much appreciated!

You can use diskpart at command prompt.

Or, you could shrink C: and create one more partition in
the free space.

G500 change MBR to GPT for win8 Install without deleting the oem partition

Hi, I just bought Lenovo g500 and it came with Free DOS. Now I want to install windows 8 64-bit.
My HDD came with:
1 system partition of 1000 MB (maybe Free DOS partition?)
959 518 MB Unallocated space
1000 MB OEM - reserved partition
It has MBR partition table. To install windows 8 64-bit I need to use UEFI boot with GPT partition table, so I need to convert the MBR table to GPT. Microsoft suggest to delete all partitions and convert to GPT using Diskart command, but if I delete all partitions I will lose the 1000 MB OEM partition (and oneKey recovery)
Is there any solution on how to convert to GPT without losing the OEM partition? or I have to choose between win8 and OEM partition.

Hi Gicevgoran,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums
I’m sorry to inform you that installing the Windows 8 is not possible without making changes in the default partition created in the computer while the pre-installed OS (Operating System) was installed, I suggest you to create a Recovery discs in your computer and then make changes so that you can revert back anytime if you require, below is the link to download the User Guide for G500 Laptop and refer page no. 21 for the steps to create the Recovery Discs for the computer.

How to delete the hidden partition (about 35 GB) on my H430 HDD?

Hello dear sirs/madams
I want to delete the hidden partition in my H430 desktop. It came with DOS. I am unable to use OneKey Recovery after the reseller installed Windows 7 Ultimate x32. And it is showing the hard disk capacity is 465 GB in my 500 GB HDD. I googled and found that it has a hidden partition. I am unable to delete it using diskpart because it doesn't show the partition. Here's the screenshot of diskpart.

Please tell me if I can still use OneKey Recovery.
Please guide me. I am using Windows 8 Pro x64.

Hi Devidas,
I would suggest not deleting the OEM partition, as it contains system hidden files

How to delete the data from partition table

Hi all,
Am very new to partition concepts in oracle..
here my question is how to delete the data from partition table.
is the below query will work ?
delete from table1 partition (P_2008_1212)
we have define range partition ...
or help me how to delete the data from partition table.
Thanks
Sree

delete from table1 partition (P_2008_1212)This approach is wrong - as Andre pointed, this is not how partition tables should be used.
Oracle supports different structures for data and indexes. A table can be a hash table or index organised table. It can have B+tree index. It can have bitmap indexes. It can be partitioned. Etc.
How the table implements its structure is a physical design consideration.
Application code should only deal with the logical data structure. How that data structure is physically implemented has no bearing on application. Does your application need to know what the indexes are and the names of the indexes,in order to use a table? Obviously not. So why then does your application need to know that the table is partitioned?
When your application code starts referring directly to physical partitions, it needs to know HOW the table is partitioned. It needs to know WHAT partitions to use. It needs to know the names of the partitions. Etc.
And why? All this means is increased complexity in application code as this code now needs to know and understand the physical data structure. This app code is now more complex, has more moving parts, will have more bugs, and will be more complex to maintain.
Oracle can take an app SQL and it can determine (based on the predicates of the SQL), which partitions to use and not use for executing that SQL. All done totally transparently. The app does not need to know that the table is even partitioned.
This is a crucial concept to understand and get right.

How to delete the hdd and re-partition during the installation.

Hi,
I am new to Arch, currently I have a laptop that installed with Opensuse os, now I want to switch it to Arch entirely.
So, I need to delete the whole partitions that previously created when install Openesuse. I just want to install single Arch on the machine only.
How can I do it?
Thanks

Yea you can set up your scheme all with gparted. Keep in mind though, that is just formatting your disk correctly, no files will be installed, just the disk setup for arch to install to.
So when you get into gparted what your goal is going to be is to set up your disk for install. I used the scheme of
3 partitions,
one for root 20GB - /
one for swap 2GB
and one for home 80GB- /home
This is a pretty common config and I think it is best but it depends on your situation and what you want, thats pretty standard though.
So that's what you'll have set up when you leave gparted live cd and then boot to your arch cd, all your partitions set up and ready for arch to install its files to.
Also, arch wiki is really killer wiki, I mean the guys did an awesome job on the beginners guide, but there's nothing wrong with having extra reference guides. I used this one with the arch wiki:
http://lifehacker.com/5680453/build-a-k … he-process
I would take a look at them both.
And i would have them both open when your doing this whole thing, so hopefully you have a tablet or a cell phone to have these pages open while you install.
And like pks said, you don't have to use gparted live cd, its just recommended in the beginners guide. I did use it, and i thought it made it a lot easier. But if you are familiar with command line disk editing, go for it!
EDIT: PS man i dont know about you but i always like to have extra partitions on my disk so I can test other linux distrobutions. It kinda sounds like you are testing them, you have centos and now arch, are you sure your not going to want to install more later? Cause if you maybe want to and you have a big enough hard drive your not pressed for space you might want to create your arch install partitions and have an extra couple for another distro in the future.
Like me I installed arch, and now im installing Gentoo to try it out, i made extra partitions beforehand.
So I made my arch ones:
sda1 - /
sda2 - swap
sda3 /home
then for Gentoo
sda4 - /
sda5 /home
and they would be sharing swap partition. So i had all these partitions set up before I installed anything to the disk. Just an idea Good luck!

How to delete "Free Space" Partition?

I partitioned my MacBook Pro into 2 volumes so I could dual boot Mavericks and Yosemite Developer Preview. After testing Yosemite, I found out that it was stable enough to run on my main partition. I installed it on my main partition replacing Mavericks and deleted the second partition which included Yosemite. While deleting, somehow I was left with an empty partition called "Free Space" which I cannot delete.
I am pretty sure the problem isn't related to Yosemite being a developer preview as it could've happened under an previous stable OS. How can I merge my "Free Space" partition with Macintosh HD?
MacBook Pro with Retina display 13-inch Late 2013
2.8GHz Intel Core i7
16GB RAM
Intel Iris graphics
512GB SSD
OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2

If you select the top partition, does ////// lines appear in the bottom right hand corner? If so try selecting them and dragging downward. Boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) during a restart and try it there.

Make sure you donot have any data in cube. If you have some data in cube, then you will not be able to see Delete option.
Right click on the cube-->Delete data.
Then double click on the cube>Goto Edit mode> select the IO under that Dimension> right click> now you will be able to see the Delete option (provided you have deleted all the date from Cube)
Then right click on Dimension-->Delete

ADF Desktop Integration : How to delete the table in Excel?

Hi,
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.3.0 and Excel 2007 for Oracle ADF DI, I had created an ADF table using pageDef file in the excel. Now I wanted to delete that table and use a different pageDef file.
I could not find a way to delete that table.
I deleted full row of tables and then I used different pageDef file and created a new adf table. But when I am running this version of excel, I am getting runtime exception and excel is getting corrupted.
My question how to delete the table not corrupting the Excel.
Thanks
Pavan

Pavan,,
Welcome to OTN.
You can delete the table by selecting the top left column (of the table) and then select delete from the ADFdi tab.
Refer the documentation for more info.

Reg:How to delete the column in table control also from database table.

Hi Experts,
Once again thank u all for giving the responses.
one more doubt is how to delete the columns of table control and also the record shold delete from ztable.
With Regards,
Saroja.P.

Hi,
If you want to delete the rows in the table control and simultaneously delete it from the database table, then you can implement a 'DELETE' functionality specific to your table control. Have a MARK field (you will find that in the screen attributes of the table control -> give a name for the MARK field, you will find an additional MARK column at the beginning of your table control). You can check whatever rows you want to delete from the table control, call the delete module.
"This portion of code inside the LOOP...ENDLOOP.
IF sy-ucomm eq 'F_DELETE'.
gt_itab2-check = mark. " Store the MARK field status into your internal table's correspoding field 'check'
MODIFY gt_itab INDEX tabcontrol-current_line.
ENDIF.
iF sy-ucomm eq 'DELETE1'.
DELETE gt_itab WHERE check eq 'X'. "Your internal table does not have rows that you want to delete
ENDIF.
Now you can modify your database table using the MODIFY statement.
MODIFY ZDB FROM TABLE gt_itab.

Does any one know , how to delete the others in itunes. it takes lot of space

does any one know , how to delete the others in itunes. it takes lot of space, i wanna delete that... Actually what it contains

Those are the data of the installed apps. Don't listen if someone says that it's an iOS, because it is not. On your iPhone, go to general > usage. It will show you all the programs installed on your iPhone. If you click any of them you will see how much of "others" it has (documents and data)
There's no way to delete it if you want to still have those apps. You can reinstal those which has the most "others" but after some time of usage, it will raise again.

How to delete the films in VLC in my ipad?

I sync some films(.avi) for VLC to my ipad via itune(I bought free VLC in ipad). One problem is too slow to see in ipad, many mosaic occurred. The other problem is how to delete the films in VLC on my ipad.. there is no any button to delete, only add button..

But what if the videos don't appear in the list under the Apps Tab >File Sharing?
They definitely are on the iPad. I can watch them with VLC. But the VLC list is empty when I select it. Most of my File Sharing lists are blank even though I can access the files I placed on there with my iPad. (Worse, Comic Reader has a list of files but none of those files are accessible on the iPad but a completely different set is readable on the iPad!)
Any ideas?
