How to remove CDFS partition on PX1267E-1G32?

Does anyone now how can I remove the CDFS partition on this disk (PX1267E-1G32)?
I want this disk using as an USB external harddrive without this CDFS partition.
I don't use the backup software REGEN.
Is this possible? I tried several programs to remove this partition, but now one did do the job.
Thanks

Hi
To be honest Ive no experience with such external HDDs but usually all partitions would be deleted from the HDD if you would format the HDD.
Try to format it!

How to remove recovery partition of HP Pavilion X2 10

HP Pavilion X2 10 comes with a 32GB drive, like many other Windows 8 tables, and only 14GB is available to users. The free space is decreases as I install and save data to the device, and quickly reached 3GB to a level that machine start reising waring.
After making recovery media, I tried to remove the recovery partition, but I could not find the way. In Windows' Disk Management, I does not show an option 'Delete Volume' for the recovery partition. The official procedures with HP Recovery Manager did not work since there is not 'Advanced options'

Does anyone know how to remove a recovery partition in Windows 8 tablet devices?

You can't remove the recovery partition because it is necessary for WIMBoot. Basically, the recovery partition has a copy of the Windows image that it uses to boot the system. This is done to save disk space on the primary partition, but doesn't seem to help much on the Pavilion X2. If you try and remove it with a third-party utility, Windows will be unable to boot because it can no longer find the necessary system files. Here's an article about WIMBoot and how it works: http://www.howtogeek.com/196416/wimboot-explained-how-windows-can-now-fit-on-a-tiny-16-gb-drive/
The only solution I've found is deleting all partitions and installing a fresh copy of Windows 8.1 from a flash drive. This will create a traditional Windows installation, without WIMBoot. Note that this will still create a recovery partition, but it will be very small (less than 500mb in my case). My Pavilion X2 had about 20 gb of free space after installation, on a 29 gb primary partition. This is without any updates installed.
The real mystery here is why the "HP Support Agent" didn't know any of this, and essentially advised us to destroy our Windows installations. HP needs to train their support agents better.

How to remove a partition of my hard drive

I have an old 2007 HP Pavilian DV6000 series with Windows Vista. At some point, one of my husbands friends had the bright idea to partition the hard drive and put Linux (Ubuntu) operating system on my laptop. I haven't used this laptop in a few years now because once he did that the laptop has been screwy ever since. I want to remove that OS and remove that partition. I don't have a recovery disc to do a factory reset, I've tried that and I've tried restoring to early point and nothing is working. So how can I un partition that part of the hard drive and remove that horrible OS?? Vista is still on there and I can still access Windows, but I just want my computer back to how it should be. Thanks!

How to remove USB partition?

I have an 8GB flash drive which I use for my digital photo frame. I deleted all photos and reloaded more recent ones and once I placed the USB in the frame only old photos which I thought I had deleted appeared.
I then discovered that the USB has a partition that contained the older photos. I deleted these but the USB will only display photos in the one area which has very little space. How can I remove the partition or have the photo frame recognise the other much larger partition?
Please help if you can.

Hi budy,
You can change/edit the partition of USB and all other drives in Windows Disk Managment if you have Vista or Windows 7.

Failed boot camp install - how to remove windows partition?

Hi There,
After a failed boot camp install, boot camp no longer sees (or can remove) a windows partition - Disk Utility can't seem to remove it and if I use:
$ diskutil list
It shows up as partition 5 "Microsoft Reserved"
I also have a portion of free space that I can't seem to incorporate back into the main OSX partition - how do I remove the windows partition and make the drive a single OSX drive again?
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers

- New Mac Pro
- Installing onto internal 1 TB SSD
- 10.9.3
- Windows 8.1

Just incase others have this issue, this wasn't caused by using Disk Utility (Disk Utility couldn't remove the partition anyway) it was caused by repeatedly trying to format the Boot Camp partition using the Windows installer when Windows refused to install.
The solution is an Apple tech note (I can no longer find it sorry) that sates that no other hard drives besides the internal HD and the Windows USB flash drive can be connected while installing windows.
Cheers

Drive Preparation
1. 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. 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. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) 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.

How do I remove the partition on my hard drive?

I've got 20 GB dedicated to Windows but want to remove the partition and make the hard drive 100% Mac-use only. Any ideas on how to do that?

Use the Boot Camp Assistant in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to remove it. If you're running Mac OS X 10.4, also see this article.

How can i uninstall Windows 7 and remove the partition?

how can i uninstall Windows 7 and remove the partition? white unibody late 2009. i cannot seem to find bootcamp either :/

Open the Boot Camp Assistant in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and use it to restore the drive to a single partition setup. If it's not there, use Pacifist to extract it from your install DVD and run the combo updater for your OS version.

How do you remove a partition

I created a partition using resizeVolume, and now I would like to remove it.
Is there any way to remove the partition with out reformatting the entire Volume, like you would do with disk utility?
The manual for resizeVolume kinda leads me to believe that there might be a way.
"Non-destructively resize a disk. You may increase or decrease its size.
When decreasing size, you may optionally supply a list of new partitions to create."
Or am I just misinterpreting what that means? Like does the increase volume size pertain only the the Volumes on the Disk, or could it mean that you could somehow increase it back to its original size while removing the created partition?

Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 External HD Problem

Hi all.
I've had a Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 External HD for awhile now and its fantastic. I normally run it on Windows XP, and recently, I've started using Windows 7.
When I plug the External HD in, the password box pops up, I enter the password, It states the password was successfully entered, and I click ok.
The HD is supposed to rev up and load the data partition as a seperate drive so that I can naturally access the data stored on the HD, but this isn't the case on Windows 7. Nothing happens after I correctly validate my password.
I also tried removing my password restriction, but all that loads is the password partition of the External HD. I am Running in Administrator mode, but to no avail.
Can someone please tell me how to load up my 'data' partition of the the Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 External HD.
Thanks so much in advance,

Hi VixT3R
I have exactly the same problem with yours. I have two laptops, one with XP and one with newly-installed Win7.
We seem to share the same fate. I tried to access my Toshiba external HD in Win7 but the secure partition cound't be accessed. Only password partition showed. When I tried to accessed it from my XP laptop, it failed again. I was able to disable the password protection. (Actually I never changed the password from the default one. Now I regret that I should have disabled it before I tried to use the drive with Win7.) Now, whenever I plugin the drive, there's no dialogue box popping up requesting password anymore. Anyway, I can see an unallocated partition in the windows disk management.
Please let me know how did you manage to recover the data in the secure partition. I have another external HD with space available enough for data stuck in the toshiba drive.
For your information you can turn your toshiba drive into a simple external drive without password protection by using "CD to HDD Convertor" downloaded from TechSupportLive ([http://www.techsupportlive.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=9& pcid=8&nav=0,8|http://www.techsupportlive.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=9& pcid=8&nav=0,8] ). That being done, I think you can use the toshiba drive on Win7 as well.
I'm really glade to know that I'm not the only one in this situation. I'm looking forward to receiving valuable answer from you.
Best,
Thanawit

How to remove boot camp partion after windows has been deleted

I have removed windows 7 from my mac book air. however the partition will not be deleted... how can I remove the partition.

Hi,
Usually the correct way to remove your Windows partition is to use the BootCamp Assistant again which should give you the option to remove the made Windows partition and revert back to one OSX volume.
After that's done a reboot of your Mac might be advisable. After the reboot use the BootCamp Assistant again to make the Windows partition and then install the (hopefully correct) version of Windows.
Only if that's not working (whatever the reason) :
1) boot your Mac from your OSX install DVD
2) choose your language and then 'ignore' (cancel) the installation
3) from the Top Menu (Utilities) start Disk Utility (DU)
4) in DU click on your harddisk (not any partition) in the left pane (the first item listed)
5) in the right pane use the 'Partition'-Tab
6) click to highlight on the ex-Windows partition you want to delete
7) click on the small '-' Button at the bottom
That should delete your former Windows partition
After that's done successfully
8) Drag the partition separator line until it encompasses the entire drive and then select apply.
9) Quit Disk Utility
10) reboot your Mac from your harddisk.
Since you are 'fumbling' with your OSX partition you should consider having/making a backup of it before trying the a.m. procedure. Just in case.

How to format one partition from existing filesysem

now /dev/hda1 can be used as ASM disk.

login to ASM and update the asm_diskstring to include this disk and run "select* from v$asm_disk" we can see this new disk as CANDIDATE Or Provisioned

Dangerous - the default partition type of a newly created partition is ext3. Which means the kernel will view that partition as a regular file system - and will attempt to mount and use it. A sysadmin will not know, looking at the type of partition, that it is not an ext file system, but in fact a raw device.
One needs to avoid this confusion - as it easily can trash your entire database's storage (diskgroup). With the only option being to restore backups that likely is out of date, or non-existent. (given the lackadaisical attitude to use a file system partition as a raw device, it is a reasonable assumption that backups are in a similar sorry state)
PS. and the question was how to use /dev/hda2 - you described removing that partition and then using /dev/hda1 (which will likely trash the root file system).

How to format boothcamp partition

I have iMac (Snow leopard OS) and a friend set up a partition and installed Windows but after years I realized I don't need it.
Is there anyway to format this partition so I can use it as another drive and can be browse from Mac OS?
This is my first Mac, I don't know how to manage the partition and I don't want to format the whole computer.
Thx

Use Boot Camp Assistant. Select the menu option to remove Windows and return the drive to a single OSX partition. Do not use Disk Utility, it will mes up your drive and you will need to reinstall OSX. Make a backup of your data before you start.

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.
