Attaching and linking (assign and mklink) -- disk partition planning for Windows 7

Unfinished -- CurrentArticleNot finished. Write again when you are free.

During Linux installation, you can set the mount point of the partition.

This can also be done in windows.

Windows 7 directory structure:

C: \ directory

2010/01/30 08:14 <dir> $ recycle. Bin
2010/01/30 08:02 <dir> boot
2009/07/14 <junction> Documents and Settings [c: \ Users]
2009/07/14 :37 <dir> perflogs
2009/07/14 16:41 <dir> Program Files
2010/01/30 08:13 <dir> programdata
2010/01/30 08:13 <dir> recovery
2010/01/30 08:08 <dir> system volume information
2010/01/30 08:13 <dir> Users
2010/01/30 08:10 <dir> Windows

10 Directories

The meanings of these directories in c: \ are as follows:

<Junction> Documents and Settings [c: \ Users] // link (to be compatible with XP)

<Dir> program files //Program(For All Users)
<Dir> programdata // Program-generated data (for all users, such as MySQL database files)

<Dir> Users // data of each user
<Dir> Windows // System File

C: \ Users directory structure:

2010/01/30 08:57

.
2010/01/30 08:57 ..
2009/07/14 all users [c: \ programdata]
2010/01/30 08:13 default
2009/07/14 Default User [C: \ Users \ default]
2009/07/14 Public
2010/01/30 08:56 tester
C: \ users the meanings of these directories are as follows:

2009/07/14 <symlinkd> all users [c: \ programdata] // link (to be compatible with XP)
2010/01/30 <dir> default // user's default settings (copy a default value here when creating a user, including the desktop, Start Menu, and program configuration file)
2009/07/14 <junction> Default User [c: \ Users \ default] // link (to be compatible with XP)
2009/07/14 <dir> Public // files shared by all users (shared music, program configuration files effective for all users)
2010/01/30 <dir> tester // The user I created when installing the system

You cannot select a mount point when installing Windows XP or Windows 7, but you can modify it after installation.

There are two ideas:

1. Move the folder to disk D, and create a link on disk C pointing to disk D.

Use the linkd command in XP (which must be downloaded separately) and the mklink command in Vista and Windows 7 (which comes with the system ).

The directory structure of the newly installed Windows 7 is as follows:

2. the hard disk is divided into multiple zones, but there is only one drive letter for drive C. If there is no drive letter for other partitions, use NTFS mount to mount the drive C folder. (After more than 26 drive letters, remember to manually mount them)

@ Echo off

@ REM set/P partition_old = enter the drive letter (such as C) of the previous users, program files, and programdata ):
Set/P partition_new = enter the drive letter (such as D or E) of the current program files, programdata, and users ):
Set/P user_name = enter your username (see the folder under users ):
