Hard Disk partitioning for Windows 7 and Ubuntu

After using Windows 7 and Ubuntu for so long, I felt that the default partition form of the hard disk was not very convenient, so I had the idea of re-partitioning the hard disk, I believe there will certainly be people with the same idea as I have. Here I decided to write down my views on hard disk partitioning. I just want to write it casually and hope to help some people who need it a little. Generally, a system is installed by default during the Computer City installation process. Therefore, the installed brothers will be too lazy to create partitions automatically with the system disk. However, when you use the system disk, especially after a long time, we will find that such a partition side

After using Windows 7 and Ubuntu for so long, I felt that the default Partitioning Method of the hard disk was not very convenient, so I had the idea of re-partitioning the hard disk, I believe there will certainly be people with the same idea as I have. Here I decided to write down my views on hard disk partitioning. I just want to write it casually and hope to help some people who need it a little.

Generally, a system is installed by default during the Computer City installation process. Therefore, the installed brothers will be too lazy to create partitions automatically with the system disk. However, when you use the system disk, especially after a long period of time, you will find that such partitioning method is not very suitable for you, or you will find that your c disk is a little overwhelmed, maybe you want to recover the system disk at this time, but that is not very good, because it is difficult for you to delete all the system backup files! So the best way is to expand the C drive by yourself.

In my opinion! In fact, the hard disk does not need to be divided so carefully. For example, Windows automatically divides three logical drives and one primary partition, I think it is completely unnecessary, because it is too annoying to find something, I am a lazy person. It is best to divide the system into one partition, download it later, and install the software to save the change path, but it is a little tricky, because if you want to install another system in the future, you have to reinstall the two systems at the same time. That's terrible! Www.linuxidc.com and the software needs to be re-downloaded in the future to fix or upgrade the software. For further development, I 'd like to try again in two zones! So many things are now on the topic.

Partition (not in the extended partition, but the whole hard disk is re-partitioned). Of course, some tools are required. The following mainly describes two commonly used partition tools, it is also relatively easy to find. One is the graphic partition tool that comes with the Ghost:

This is relatively simple to use. It is recommended that the comrades who have a Ghost disk use it to restart the computer you want to partition, then, enter the BIOS startup settings interface during the startup process (this method is not the same for various models and mainboards, especially for some brand computers, if it is a common point, it should be press Del or F2 key) Select the Boot option, select the CD-ROM, save and exit, the computer automatically restarts, it enters the installation disk interface, select the option of the graphic partition tool, and then follow the prompts to make it OK. As for the score, consider it as appropriate. I will paste my method for reference only. My hard drive is 320 GB. I divided a primary partition into 30 GB, and the rest were extended partitions. After the system was installed, I was dividing them. GB for windows, and the rest for Ubuntu. One thing to note is that after division, you must remember to activate the primary partition. Otherwise, you cannot use the primary partition. This is a tragedy.

Another method is to divide the fdisk command under DOS. There are also many ways to enter DOS. For example, you can use a Windows 98 CD or a super DOS emergency CD. After entering DOS, enter fdisk at the prompt to confirm, and then ask you to select the corresponding function. It's all in simple English and you should be able to understand it, the general idea is the same as that of graph partitioning, except that the operation is replaced with a command.

After the installation is complete, the system will be re-installed. It is relatively simple to install Windows. If you want to install Linux or install a dual-host system, read my previous blog. In fact, as long as you understand its file storage ideas, the installation process will be no stranger.
