Re: HP F11 Not working Problem Solved!!!!

Or, please,  just give us the name of the software.  We can find it from the name.  I know of a few free versions of paid softare that claim to be able to change a disc from dynamic without destroying data.  Maybe your suggestion was one of those.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

I noticed that when I wanted to add a data partition to the hard drive using Windows, it said the disc would have to become dynamic.  I guess that is how people are getting a dynamic disc.

 

I wonder if that recovery partition can be moved and still work?  Or does that partition have to start at a particular sector in order to be found by the HP BiOS?

 

I have other disc partitioning software and I know I can repartition the disc without migrating to a dynamic journaling Windows scheme.  I am still trying to find out if I can move the hp_recovery and hp_tool partitions and still keep them working.

 

When I buy a new notebook, I donate mine to our church.  I'd like to keep the recovery systems intact.
