Image For Windows

Do it.

 

You cannot remove the battery from this laptop.

 

OK. Press Enter.

 

It didn't work.

 

Try Disk Management...

Open Disk Management
Right click your Win10 partition
Extend Volume, Next
In the Selected field on the right you will see...
Disk 0 50000 MB
(the number could be 51200)
click Next, Finish

Win10 should now be 50 GB larger.

 

That worked!

 

At long last. Thanks for your many screenshots. There was something drastically wrong with your AOMEI. I had no issues.

Tarnak, it would be an understatement to say you have found this procedure unpleasant. Unfortunately, that is the nature of manual partitioning and each app works much the same.
I asked you about BIU (BootIt for UEFI). You don't have it. Partition Work in BIU would have used a similar method to what you endured. Although less confusing and no graphics. But BIU contains TBOSDT Pro for BootIt which is more powerful than the TBOSDT Pro that you own. TBOSDT Pro for BootIt can do command line partitioning. The following 3 lines pasted into TBOSDT Pro for BootIt would have completed your partitioning. 10 seconds of typing. Resize, slide and resize. It is an amazing app.

resize 0 0x4 279000
slide 0 0x4
resize 0 0x3

 

Thanks for you perseverance. I don't think I could have done it with out your help.

I just have to read the AOMEI help files, before I ever need it again. But, I don't think I will put myself through this again.

 

I'd disable Controlled Folder Access forever.

 

Doesn't it help protect a computer from Ransomware threats?

 

Maybe, but it didn't help your AOMEI.

 

Perhaps I just need to add it to protected folders. I'll look further and see if it is feasible.

 

Thanks for everything. I'll leave this for now.

 

Sorry, I am still fiddling with this and don't think I got this properly set up. I would like the protection option to be available. When I run a backup job within IfW, the program asks where to save this. I have previously had this on an external drive with a file name Images and a subfolder Terabyte. This meant that the protect it function was not applied. I then created a folder in root of the external drive called Terabytes_TBI_Backups. This is where the image now ends up. But I can still see it in explorer and assume I can delete it. I checked and the protectit service is running on my C: drive, so what am I doing wrong.

 

I'm not sure Protectit functions on external drives. According to the manual, Protectit "Protection only applies to running Windows installations." To me that means installed drives. In any case, just because Explorer can see it, doesn't mean it's not protected; ProtectIt is supposed to prevent tampering/deleting and not hide the images.

 

beethoven,

Try renaming a file by adding beet in front of the filename. You should not be able to do it if ProtectIt is working.

 

I just tried it. ProtectIt doesn't work on my external USB drive.

 

Your mistake and mine. I copied your folder name which has a spelling mistake. ProtectIt now works.

 

@beethoven
Try USB Flash Drives Control. Perhaps it might work for you:

Brian, ok - what is the spelling mistake in my folder name? I tried to rename the file but adding A_ in front of it and got access denied, administrator access required. Is that what you would expect? I was under the impression from some earlier posts that the file actually is hidden, though for me that does not matter much.

 

You posted...
Terabytes_TBI_Backups

It is...
Terabyte_TBI_Backups

It looks like your ProtectIt is working. What is the spelling in your external drive?

 

Yes.

If you try to delete a file you get the same messages.

 

thank you very much - the typo was "only" in my post, the spelling was correct on the drive. Glad that it works now.

 

At least we know it works on an external HD.

 

An exercise it partitioning.

Lets say you had this layout...

MSR 0x1
2 0x2 20000 MiB
3 0x3 20000 MiB
4 0x4 20000 MiB
5 0x5 40000 MiB

2,3,4,5 are partition labels on Disk 0. Each partition contains about 5 GiB of data. But you decide you need different sized partitions for the future. You desire...

MSR 0x1
2 0x2 10000 MiB
3 0x3 35000 MiB
4 0x4 40000 MiB
5 0x5 15000 MiB

You consider doing this manually but with a little planning you could use TBOSDT Pro for BootIt.

Code:

resize 0 0x2 10000
resize 0 0x5 15000
slide 0 0x5
slide 0 0x3 0
resize 0 0x4 40000
slide 0 0x4
resize 0 0x3
