Hi,
my girlfriend bought an Compaq CQ62 210 SP
It came with win7 64 bits, i installed office etc etc etc.... everything fine.
But it came with the partitions:
SYSTEM,
c:WINDOWS 283gb
d: RECOVERY 14,3gb
e: HP_TOOLS 99,3 mb
so it has 4
I would like to have a partition for "Backups" with something like 100gb and c: with 180 to.
i cannot create another partition because of 4 it's the maximum you can have?
i go to:
start + computer + manage and then to disk partition software
then i go to c:\ and make a shrink to 100gb to create a empty 180gb for my backup partition
this worked fine with my old laptop i only have 1 partition
with this one he says that he would have to convert from dynamic to basic system and i would no be able to boot .... WTF ?????
i read on the web it's because win can handle only 4 partitions ? is that it?
some pleose said that i can delete the HP_tools partition that would give only 3 partition and then i as able to shrink the C:\ without that warning....
what you think of it?
