    Cannot Extend My Windows Partition

    Great news! My problem's finally been solved! Here's what I did: 1. I backed up the reserved partition. 2. Booted into Macrium's rescue media, where I deleted the partition and extended my C:\ drive. 3. Used MiniTool to move my partition to the middle of my drive (apparently that partition...

    Cannot Extend My Windows Partition

    Apparently I can't move the reserved partition around. I mean...is it safe to delete? Can I just get it out of my way and put it back later or something if I make a backup of it? Macrium's Rescue software should let me move the C:\ partition to a better spot and put the reserved partition behind...

    Cannot Extend My Windows Partition

    Little bit more info now. I'm now using EaseUS Partition Master to take a look at things. Apparently there's a 16 MB partition right after my C:\ partition that's blocking me from expanding it. Says it's reserved, obviously not going to delete it then. I need to find a way to move it, I guess...

    Sata power extension cable

    Ah, sorry - I actually never tried them, but I just knew they had them off the top of my head :)

    Cannot Extend My Windows Partition

    Pretty much everything in the wizard in Disk Management to extend the partition works fine. Once I exit out of the wizard, I'm told "There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation." DiskPart doesn't have a GUI or a wizard as you probably know (its a command-line...

    Cannot Extend My Windows Partition

    Here you go: https://i.imgur.com/JcOOfqq.jpg The "other drive" is a 2nd hard drive I had from a laptop that I'm keeping my previous backup on - I'd say it's unimportant right now but I'm not too sure. It's got a bunch of partitions on it since I never bothered to format it properly. I might...

    Cannot Extend My Windows Partition

    I've been trying to extend my C:\ partition so I can get some more room to work with as I try to copy some files over from a backup I made. That part's not really important though; I can do that just fine. The problem is that right now, I've got my 500 GB partition on my 1863 GB hard drive, and...

    Sata power extension cable

    CableMod has them if you're interested, and if you do it through them you can make them look "snazzy" if you'd like.

    Windows 10 installer restarts after “Finishing Up.”

    Well, nevermind then. Somehow Windows magically just decided to work, lmao!

    Windows 10 installer restarts after “Finishing Up.”

    I’ve been trying to install Windows 10 for the past few hours now, and every time I do it gets to “Finishing Up,” at which point it tells me that Windows needs to restart to continue. So I let it restart, and then the installer just restarts itself from the beginning. I’ve tried removing the USB...

    quad sata cables

    My motherboard came with a bunch of triple series SATA power cables. I’m guessing they’re intended to be used if you have a ton of hard drives and you want to link them up with a single cable, which I painstakingly put the effort into coaxing the cables to do and it works pretty well. Of course...

    Having Trouble Restoring a Disk Image

    As far as I can say it was not. It worked absolutely perfectly, never let me down throughout my ownership of it. (Except of course when it filled up)

    Having Trouble Restoring a Disk Image

    I’m completely baffled at this point. The drive seems to work completely fine, it’s just the backup not working for some reason, and I know I did everything right with Macrium especially considering that both the rescue USB and the Windows installer detect everything perfectly. I’m currently...

    Having Trouble Restoring a Disk Image

    So I recently picked up a new SSD since my old one completely filled up. At recommendation, I used Macrium Reflect to image the entire SSD, and now that I have the new one (and sold the old one), I’m currently trying to use Macrium to restore the entire image to my new hard drive. Problem is...

    Going to replace my hard drive soon, wondering the best way to back up and restore my info afterwards?

    The size of my current drive is 1 TB. Of course since the drive isn't ACTUALLY a terabyte, I think it's like 975 GB? Anyway, last time I checked, I only had about 4 GB left on it and I've been warned before that it's completely full on occasion. Non-raid size of a single new drive would also be...
