Win7 cheats How to adjust an unreasonable partition with a compressed volume

Recently, the zhongguancun online notebook forum To do a survey, the new machine, the most to let netizens headache of a few things are installed system, plus memory , hard disk partition and system patching four big problems. And the first is the notebook hard disk partition unreasonable, the difference between the C and D disk space, so many novice netizens at a loss.

• 10 seconds of rapid partitioning cheats

Is there a way, without using virtual machine, PE system disk, only in the system can quickly partition the disk space reasonably? The answer is, the genuine WINDOWS7 system provides a compressed volume function, can be very simple to re-adjust the unreasonable partition, if the speed of 10 seconds to generate a new drive is not a problem. Let's take a look at Win7 's magical compressed volume feature.

Win7 cheats How to adjust an unreasonable partition with a compressed volume

The author of the Hand of Haier 7 elder brother for example, in the initial disk space, we can see the C-Disk system partition is 60GB, and the D disk is up to 405GB, if we want to divide the D-disk space into three partitions of the same capacity, then we need to use the Magic compressed volume function.

To understand the power of the Win7 compressed volume, we need to go to the admin interface, first right-click on the desktop computer icon and find the right management option. Or use the Windows-brought keyboard shortcut (WIN+R), enter the Compmgmt.msc command in the run bar, and quickly open the Admin Control Panel.

The Computer Management option has a shield icon in front

In the pop-up Computer Management interface, locate the Disk management options for the storage bar, and click Disk Management Select the right side of the video card to see the disk usage status.

Then locate the Disk Management tool under Storage

Can see the C disk as Windows7 system disk, the factory default to the system disk 60GB space, and D disk as a commonly used data disk, its volume is much larger than the C disk capacity of 6-7 times, it is obvious that this is not reasonable. We will then use the WINDOWS7 's own compressed volume function to split the D-disk space into three parts, two 120GB and one 160G partition.

Disk Management interface

On the D-Disk status bar, click the Compress volume option in the drop-down menu that pops up and click to run the disk feature. Where compressed volumes are used for disk partitioning, expansion volumes are used for disk consolidation, and delete volumes are used to delete disk partitions, which makes the partition of the disk unallocated, in which the unassigned area is no longer displayed in the foreground.

Right-click for compressed volume partitioning

Because of the different size of the disk space, when we select the compressed volume to partition, the system will calculate the disk's compressed space, during this period, the machine will produce a few seconds card, is a normal phenomenon.

Compressed volume calculation disk available compressed space

In the popup dialog box, the D disk currently has a total of 415497MB space, and after 43724MB space has been used, the remaining disposable space is 371698MB. Here you need to note that when the compressed volume is split into the available zone, the data will not be split by the compressed volume, but will remain in the master drive. The split area is a free area, that is, there is no disk space allocated.

Reasonable splitting of Win7 compressed volume space

We fill in the compressed volume capacity of the required compressed space size, if we need to isolate the 400GB of the primary hard disk space two 120GB storage area, it is necessary to calculate. That is 120GBX1024=122880MB (it is important to note that all compressed volumes are converted in megabytes)

Compressed space is the amount of space that needs to be allocated

After the compressed volume is set up, we will find an unallocated area on the right side of the D drive, which is the spare storage space we just compressed from the D drive, but we need to go through the new simple volume to make the area visible in the foreground.

Unallocated area can be a free disk partition after simple setup

Click the new simple volume options pop-up wizard, and we proceed to the next step.

Click Next

In the pop-up new simple volume area, we can set the area size capacity, unlike the compressed volume allocation size, the compressed volume is to separate the free disk as an unallocated area, and the new compressed volume is allocated unallocated area by two times the corresponding drive letter and the actual storage space, thus in the foreground panel to reflect.

We define the divided free area as a drive letter.

After assigning a good space to a new drive, you need to give the drive a name, in general naming, we usually do not do A and B-disk naming, in the early days of the computer did not buy the Pentium ERA, a drive letter usually represents a 3.5-inch floppy disk, and B is a disk earlier than a 5.25-inch floppy drive. Since the E-drive was defined by us as an optical drive , we would define the newly-separated drive as the F-disk. (For ease of use, you can also set the drive letter back to the hard drive number to connect)

Set the drive number for the new drive

Here we choose the NTFS file system as the partition mode, of course, we can also choose FAT32 mode, but most of the mainstream partition using the NTFS file system, in addition to partition more than 30G more than the drive, high security performance and support compression of these features, Far beyond the FAT32 file system is one of the reasons why many netizens choose.

We recommend the NTFS file system format

After configuring the file system mode, click Finish, our 120GB new drive F is born.

Last Click Finish

You can see that the new Volume F drive is redefined and displayed in the foreground. In this way, you can also compress a second 120GB drive.

F-plate New Volume drive born

Second block G drive generation, front desk check show everything is OK. The two 120GB drives are generated in the form of a compressed volume.

Two 120GB drives displayed at the front desk

Note: due to the unit conversion reasons, the background system partition may be with the foreground display, take 120GB as an example, want to get the corresponding allocated disk space needs to be multiplied by 1024 conversion units. That is 120GB*1024=122880MB. When you typically enter 122880MB space in a compressed volume, the foreground of the new volume drive is displayed as 199GB. Therefore, the author recommends that the allocation of space to 123880MB, increase the space of 1GB so that the foreground data display as an integer.

Can divide and expand volumes easily merge partitions

• Ability to divide and expand volumes easily merge partitions

If the drive can be split, will it be particularly troublesome to combine them? Guess the netizen will have such some doubts, the author later spent some time to teach you to two new 120GB hard Drive to restore the original state. In fact, in management mode, just right click on the drive name you need to release. In the drop-down menu, find the Delete volume option click.

Right-click Delete Volume

Note: When a drive is split with a compressed volume, the drive memory is allowed to drop data, but when the drive is deleted, the drive that holds the data and data must be backed up in advance, and once the drive is deleted, the data in the drive is lost.

Be sure to back up your data before removing the drive

After the logical drive is deleted, you will also need to delete the partition, click the logical drive (green box), click the Delete Partition option in the context menu, and then merge the partition with the subsequent 120GB unassigned drives.

Logical drive requires two partition deletion

When the primary and logical partitions are automatically merged, we then go to the final step of merging the D-disk space with unallocated 241GB space.

Two drive capacities are merged after removing the drive

Previously, we used a compressed volume for drive splitting, and now we will use the expansion volume to absorb the unallocated 241GB space.

Extended volume function for merge drives

When we click Next, we see that in the box to the right, we will show the 241GB remaining space after the completion of our previous merge, while the lower number is the adjustment of the merge expansion capacity, we choose to expand All, that is, the D disk to annex 241GB unallocated disk space.

Choose to expand space capacity

After clicking the Finish button, the D drive resumes its initial state.

D-Disk recovery to 405GB space

I believe that after reading this article, you will be the hard disk partition will have a certain understanding, due to the increase in brand, the default hard disk is usually one to two partitions, and the partition layout is unreasonable. Using this method to adjust the drive space is both safe and fast, and the method of splitting the hard disk space by compressing the volume also applies to the system disk and the external removable hard disk . If you want to adjust the unreasonable partition of the Netizen may use this method to try.

Advantages and disadvantages of using compressed volume partitioning:
Pros: Compared to third-party partitioning software, compressing volumes makes the data more secure by resizing disk partitions.
Disadvantage: The use of pirated Win7 system compressed volume function split drive, can cause the hard drive can not read or crash the system.
