Cannot create partition

ninetailz · 23 Jul 2014

Ok, i was trying to dual boot win7 with eOS and in order to do that i have to create partition and install the other os into the other partition.

I have tried this on partition creating program like EaseUS, paragon partition manager and built in win7 partition creator (Disk management) but i cannot create a partition, no matter how many times i try on win7 disk management program the creating process hangs. It also happened on easeus and paragon. Easeus had boot time partitioning which hanged and created a BSOD and restarted but didn't create a partition. Paragon also just hanged and didn't work.

Before these incident happened i already dual booted with 2 OS and this third time it showed 0MB available shirking space so i defragmented (boot time/normal defrag with smart defrag) and disabled many things like (system restore, paging, kernel dump) and it worked and showed the available space as it should be.

Please help, i have been trying to create partition for 2 days now

Thanks in advance

UPDATE: Recently my chkdsk stopped and showed BSOD

PS: I don't know if this is the right section

Nietailz mate sounds like you have real problems whe it will not run chkdsk - have you tried that in safe mode?
If you can and it comes up with problems - run it again with the /f and maybe the/r switches
Disk Check

If that still does not come up with anything then go with these

http://www.superantispyware.com/

http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/

download from bleeping computer – delete any rubbishthese find.
All this is to eliminate a few things.

We may need to go on with other scans for hardware etc

Please post a shot of disk management.

The reason will almost always be immediately obvious when we see the Disk Mgmt screenshot. You shouldn't need to use more than Disk Mgmt tools to shrink and create a partition, but something is awry with your configuration.

My thoughts entirely Greg with chkdsk not running and why I asked him to use safe mode in the hope of picking something up.
I have a feeling there might be some malware in there too to be honest or even a drive problem which would have been one of the things I suggested next.

Aren't BSODs normally hardware related?

Maybe the HDD is failing.

ninetailz · 23 Jul 2014

Okay i was able to run chkdsk in third try, it took like 2 hours (Didn't had to go to safe mode)
i checked the two boxes (autofix sys error and repair bad sectors)

@ICit2lol: i ran all of those tools and found nothing (just tracking cookies)
@AddRAM: As you requested

It looks correct.

Disk Check shouldn't take 2 hours on a 500gb HD. Did you watch what it found? Look at the Check Disk (chkdsk) Event Viewer Log.

If problems persist test your HD with the maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan.

First try Partition or Volume - Shrink

followed by Partition or Volume - Create New.

If this fails or doesn't give enough space use Partition Wizard to Resize Partition - Video Help. Use the bootable CD which is safest, burning iSO to CD using Windows Image Burner.
