Hey guys, I have also bought a new HP G6 2005AX, but guys I am facing a lot of problem in partitioning my hard drive, it says something related to dynamic disk, can you guys please help me. If this issue has been discussed before can you please redirect me to it, else please tell me how to make partition of C drive (445 GB) so that I can install windows 8 in future.

Is there any provision to keep the processor of G6 2005 AX at around 2.5 GHZ at all time? If so how?

^^ go to AMD CCC and force the processor to run at 1.9Ghz by sliding max and min scale to 1.9Ghz. once turbo kicks in, it'll hit 2.3-2.5Ghz constant, not above that.

Guys, can we install the latest amd catalyst driver 12.8 in this laptop (the release note says that it's incompatible with switchable graphics) ?? Some of you installed it right?

What you have told me is a tutorial for just resizing your partition, my problem is something different.

See this:

Anyway so I will go step by step here, first please make me solve this dynamic disk problem and then I will take care about changing C drive partition and keeping Recovery as well.

This is how my Disk Management screen appears, I want that I should be able to create an extended partiton of my C drive (like the one i have created, 2GB) so that I can install a new OS and I also want that my HP recovery drive should remain untouched.

*i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv231/sam9953/NewPicture2-4.jpg
When I try to do something with the 2gb drive, it says the above mentioned.


If I click Yes then it says the above mentioned, so what should I do now.

Dynamic discs are not supported by Windows Home Basic

from the screenshot, you have 4 primary partitions, thats the max no. of partitions you can have.
There are three types of partitions: primary partitions, extended partitions and logical drives. A disk may contain up to four primary partitions (only one of which can be active), or three primary partitions and one extended partition. In the extended partition, the user can create logical drives (i.e. "simulate" several smaller-sized hard drives).

you must have got this error msg too
"You cannot create a new volume in this unallocated space because the disk already contains maximum number of partitions."

Go thru this tutorial - Partition / Extended : Logical Drives - Windows 7 Forums
Method 2 = your situation.

Thanks a lot buddy, for giving me that link.

I was able to solve the problem without touching recovery partition.

I am now able to create extended partitions of my C drive, but I have two questions:
I hope nothing is different, now that my C drive is not a primary drive but a logical one. Does it make my computer a little slower? Because I am feeling a very slight lag.
Secondly will I be able to install windows 8 if I make another extension or partition of my C drive. Will windows 8 be installed in it? I mean I want a dual booting system, with windows 7 and 8 as well.
Thanks
