Pqmagic Adjust disk partition capacity size

Introduction

In the past year, many netizens emailed me about how to adjust the size of the disk partition without formatting the hard drive. I would like to return to an email as before. But asked a lot of people, feel the need to write an operation manual out, so I rushed to write a copy of the operation of the document and recorded a video, for users who need to download. This tutorial inevitably some mistakes, look more inclusive.

"Software Preparation"

Pqmagic 8.0 Chinese version or 8.0 later.

Try not to use less than 8.0 pqmagic software, tested, using a lower version of the Pqmagic software to adjust the size of the disk partition can cause damage to the partition list, resulting in loss of file data. But 8.0 or 8.0+ version will not, this I personally tested, imagine, my loss is very heavy. The following pqmagic download address, software version 8.0.5, is also a version I have been using, so do not worry about the loss of file data on the disk.

"Boot System"

Will download down the Pqmagic 8.0.5 decompression, renamed to extract the folder for PQ8. Copy the PQ8 folder to the C-packing directory or D-packing directory, i.e. C:/pq8 or d:/pq8. In order to explain conveniently, we will copy the PQ8 folder to the C packing directory, namely C:/pq8. Note that it is important to ensure that the file system format of the partition where the PQ8 folder is in is FAT32 format, and that it is somewhat cumbersome to have NTFS format, because DOS does not recognize the NTFS file system in DOS state. Of course, if your partition is NTFS-formatted, you'll need to find a DOS toolkit on the Internet that supports NTFS reading and writing.

Use CD-ROM or floppy disk (or other boot tools) to boot the computer into a DOS state, that is, the pure command line operation of the black Screen white state, non-Windows CMD. If you have a professional tool plate, that would be best, I am this disc is in the depth of the forum to download and burn into a CD-ROM, if interested can go to the depth of the forum to understand that this is not today's theme, we still come to discuss how to use the Pqmagic 8.0 5来 to adjust the capacity of the disk partition.

Booting into DOS maintenance system with CD-ROM

Booted into computer DOS state computer common sense

Then enter the following command in the order:

c:← into C packing directory

dir← List all the file directories in C disk, and you'll find the PQ8 folder you just copied in.

CD pq8← into Directory PQ8

pqmagic← Run the Pqmagic program in the PQ8 directory

Note: the symbol "←" means to hit the ENTER key, in the DOS system, case-insensitive, so pq8=pq8.

"Partition Capacity Adjustment"

1. Right-click Partition D and select "Resize/Move (R) ..." command from the menu

The reason to adjust the D-disk partition first is: Because D disk occupies 15G space, the D disk to free 5G space to give C, so C disk has 5+5=10g space, is by reducing the space of D disk to increase the space of C disk. The specific operation to adjust D disk capacity is as follows:

It is important to release the space on the head of D disk, because the C and D disks are connected so that the freed space can be allocated directly to the C disk. If the release of the tail space of D disk, because the C-disk tail and the end of the D disk is not connected to the release of space can not be allocated to C disk. This is particularly important. After this operation, click on the "OK" button to save the operation just now.

Disk capacity allocation After the D disk is adjusted:

Below to adjust the space of C disk.

2, the same as the previous operation, right-click Partition C, select the "Resize/Move (R) ..." command in the menu

In the same way, you can adjust the space on the C disk by dragging the scroll bar.

It is easy to see that the new size of the C disk and the original 5404M into the current 10668M. Click the OK button to confirm the action you just made. Now look at the adjusted disk capacity allocation.

At this point, do not forget to click the "Execute" button to perform the adjustment work on the disk partition.

During batch processing

Disk space Adjustment Complete

Finally, click the "End" button to reboot the computer so that all of the actions that have just been taken are in effect.

Adjustment, depending on the amount of data stored on the disk and time will be different, if the disk on the file is very much, the process may need to adjust for an hour or even longer, at this time may appear suspended animation phenomenon, such as the mouse can not move. At this time must pay attention, do not forcibly shutdown or accidental power outages, if this accident, the consequences do not need me to say you also know.
