i wanted to enlarge the partition heres the screenshot:

I upgraded to Macrium 5 a few weeks ago and made a Win PE disk per the rather detailed instructions. I also made a Linux boot CD, but could not get the disk to boot and access my Macrium images. The Win PE disk seems to work OK.


However, I am keeping Macrium 5 because the Linux boot disk that I made for Macrium 4 still works and shows my drives and images. As far as I know, this Linux disk is fully compatible with images made with Macrium 5.

You gotta be careful with the boot disks---they aren't worth a damn if they won't boot and access your partitions and images and you can't tell if they will without a test.

Roger that. When I first started doing this I acquired quite a collection of "coasters" from working with and trying out different boot discs. Once I became more familiar with Knoppix things were MUCH better. I have also found that "Live" Windows XP is quite nice as well.

What is on the first partition? Unhide Hidden and System files at Control Panel>Folder Options>View then in Disk Mgmt rightclick to Explore. Or issue it a letter and use Explorer to post back a screenshot. If it isn't needed you can use that space to Resize 100mb and even add some back to C if you want.

If not, save up a Win7 backup image and a set of User files: Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup

Download ISO, write to CD and boot free Partition Wizard bootable CD, rightclick c to Resize, slide left grey border to right to make extra space you want added to SysReserved partition, OK.

Next rightclick SysReserved partition to Resize, slide right grey border to the right to take up the space you made, OK, Apply all steps.

If Win7 fails to boot, boot back into PW CD, click on Win7 HD to highlight, from Disk tab select Rebuild MBR, Apply. Reboot, if Win7 fails to boot, boot Win7 DVD or REpair CD to run Startup Repair 3 Separate Times until Win7 boots on its own. System Repair Disc - Create

I just see that partition right now lol. But i cant explore it:

 

[Kemal]

Should i remove it? will it damage my pc or w/e?

 

[gregrocker]

Did you follow the exact steps I gave you to Explore it? Try using Partition Wizard installed version and then PW CD to explore it.

Or skip to the steps to Resize C to Extend 100mb into it.

Thank you gregrocker now my backup works(A) thank you

 

[gregrocker]

Good news.

The first partition may be your Recovery if you have preinstalled Windows. If so make sure you make your Recovery Disks. You can even try tapping the key given for Recovery on first boot screen to see if it cues up factory Recovery.

If not, then it may be a tools partition which stores the Diagnostics or other factory utility files. If you tell us your make/model we can help sort this out because without the need for any of those you can eventually recover the space.

 

[Kemal]

The first partition is Recovery. I got a Asus A72jk Windows 7 home premium, but i reinstalled it to Windows 7 professional

 

[gregrocker]

If you reinstalled Win7 from the disk instead of just unlocking the extra Pro features using ANytime Upgrade, it may have overwritten your Asus Recovery Partition.

Try booting it now to see if it will cue up to run Recovery, tapping the F8 key at boot, then checking for Recovery on Advanced Boot options menu, likely under Repair My Computer.

Did you make your Recovery disks earlier before upgrading to Pro? You might want to restore to Home Premium at some time in the future to migrate the Pro key to elsewhere.

I think it can be dangerous intruding into your recovery partition and you should definitely check that you can at least initiate a factory recovery.

There´s no problem it works anywayzz thank you man

The Disk Mgmt didn't attach (use paper clip in Reply box) but if your concern is the HD, first thing is to backup your files and image as suggested, then run the maker's diagnostics/repair extended CD scan: HD Diagnostic

Next run Disk Check with both boxes checked. These will tell you the state of your HD and file system.

As far as reinstall goes, the cleanest possible reinstall uses the WIn7 installation DVD if you can find or borrow one. If you download it be sure to get a clean copy by googling Official Win7 ISO download from My Digital Life. The rest of the steps are in my link.

But if you rely on any of the preinstalled programs which came with the computer, you may want to run Factory Recovery from its partition after backing up the Recovery Disks. Acer Support: Frequently Asked Questions list for Recovery media and Restoring a system to factory load

Hi Greg,

Gave this a shot.

Tried both Seatools and the
WD program, neither would work.

Couldn't image my disc with either reflect or acronis.

Instead, just copied my data to my external disc.

Then did a factory reset.

Seemed to work: the computer is now starting up OK, but running very slowly.

I figure the HD is bust. I've got another 2.5" SATA which I could replace it with: is it likely to be possible and safe to clone the current disc to the new one?

(to top this all off, I spilled liquid on my keyboard which is also broken!)

Thanks again for your help,

Angus

You can determine your HD's condition with certainty by runninng maker's HD Diagnostic extended CD scan.

Then run Disk Check on all partitions.

If you ran Factory Recovery you can improve performance by Cleaning up factory bloatware

hi greg,

I'll run a chkdsk tonight, to see what's what.

I did indeed use those manufacturers' diagnostic tools: both WesternD (my HD's maker) and Seatools.

Is it likely that a dodgy HD is causing my PC's slow performance?

Will feed back the chkdsk results tomorrow.

Thanks,

Angus

 

[gregrocker]

What is the HD make, and did you run the maker's extended CD scan?

 

[gussy]

Hi Greg,

I've attached the results of the chkdsk I ran.

It seemed to run successfully this time, but I'm pretty sure I ran it before, and it couldn't complete (maybe due to 'bad sectors')

My HD's maker is Western Digital: It's a Scorpio Blue 3200 BEVT (see: WD Support / Downloads / WD Scorpio & AV-25)

I did run the bootable diagnostics CD: I tried both the short and the long scan, and neither could complete.

Cheers,

Angus

 

[gregrocker]

It is a concern that your WD Data Lifeguard CD will not complete.

I would download another ISO making sure to get the correct one here, burn another using ImgBurn at 4x speed to rule out disk.

 

[gussy]

Hi Greg,

I'm pretty sure I downloaded the right program. Although, I might have another go at running the diagnostic, just in case it works.

I've now got another HD (from my old Acer laptop) to hand: I was planning to clone my current HD onto it. Are there any things I need to worry about (e.g. faults on the current HD moving on to the new one)? I was planning on using the Acronis program that is also downloadable from the webpage you posted above. It seems to have a cloning utility. Do I simply hook up the 'new' HD through USB (I've been using it as an external HD), click the clone button, then switch them? Or are there other things I should do first for security/best results?

Thanks again!

Angus

You can certainly try it using that excellent premium Acronis cloning app, then run a Disk Check
on the clone after it starts up - sometimes requiring Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times.
Read the attached Manual there.
