How to divide the hard disk partition in Win7 system

Typically, the new computer's hard drive will be divided into C-and D-Disk two partitions, this is the installation business in order to save time, but obviously this approach is not suitable for our daily work needs, and the current hard drive of the mainstream configuration are 500GB or 1TB of large hard drives, only divided into two partitions how to use Ah! also therefore , the reasonable partition of the hard disk is very necessary. In this paper, based on Win7 and 1TB hard disk as an example, we recommend several sets of large hard disk partition scheme.

Buy large hard drive Win7 edit recommended best zoning Plan

System disk "I" good everyone can be good

As a system disk, its importance is self-evident. Only the system disk has enough space to ensure the stable operation of the system in order to give full play to the overall performance of the computer. By default, Win7 's system files occupy approximately 8GB of space (figure), which mainly includes system files, paging files (which occupy about 1.5 times times the amount of memory) and hibernation files (which occupy approximately equal memory). In addition to cache files, temporary files and other requirements of space, Microsoft conservatively recommended installation of the Win7 partition size of 15GB. However, we recommend that you better divide the system disk into 50GB space.

Recommended Division: 50GB

Partition reason: Remove the 8GB space occupied by the system, some cache files, as well as some of the installation software files to be installed in the system disk (we do not recommend the program installed in the system disk, details please refer to the disk partition instructions), so that the 15GB space can only say enough. However, if you want to improve the performance of your system, the system disk must have enough space to store the temporary files that are released when you install or run some software, as well as the swap space necessary to defragment the disk, and so on. And not only the system disk, the space occupancy rate of any one disk is best not more than 80%, so as to make the disk run better. So we recommend you to the system disk can be as much as possible to partition some space.

Tip: When we install the WINDOWS7 system to create a primary partition, a system partition size 100MB is generated. It is the WINDOWS7 BitLocker partition encryption Information Store. and 100MB of space for 1TB hard disk is like bucket, plus its own role, so master Dong suggested that you keep the partition.

The program disk application is installed separately

As mentioned earlier, we do not recommend that you install the program in the system disk, otherwise the system disk will need more space. Of course, if you feel all installed in the system disk, with Ghost backup more convenient, this is understandable. But in contrast, the program is better installed separately. This is because the disk is the most frequently read and write operations, which means that the most likely to produce fragmentation, if combined with the system disk, it is likely to affect the stability of the system running. In addition, software installation, uninstall and upgrade is very frequent, after ghost, also need to upgrade or reinstall, so the significance is not.

Recommended Division: 100GB

Partition reason: With the advent of the big hard disk era, many software volume is also more and more large, after installation occupy 2GB~3GB space is very common, such as World of Warcraft client installation will occupy more than 10GB of space. So, this disk please consider your personal situation settings. We recommend the program to divide the 100GB space is good, but also can be based on personal situation and the actual needs of the division more, please refer to the final scenario list.

There's not a lot of paperwork, just enough.

Our daily application of the computer process, there will always be some personal documents need to be saved, although these documents are not many, and will not take up a lot of disk space, but for them to separate a disk storage, classification preservation, it is also very necessary, which is more conducive to our management.

Recommended Division: 50GB

Reasons: Our personal documents, mainly some family photos, videos, working documents and so on. Relatively speaking, these files occupy a much smaller space. And some important documents, we recommend that you can burn the disc to save, to avoid hard disk damage caused by permanent loss of data. So, this disk can be adjusted freely according to the individual situation. But since it is a 1TB big hard drive, 50GB of space will not appear to be wasted.

Tip: In Win7, the file library has provided us with basic categories, such as video, pictures, documents, and music, but these folders are in the system disk directory, once the system crashes and cannot be restored, the loss is self-evident. So we recommend that you save important files separately. If you need quick access, just create a new library in the file library.

The amusement disk asks for more, so the capacity is big

Believe that the current home computer, more is mainly entertainment. For example, to store some high-definition movies to watch slowly; some game clients are also necessary to save after downloading, for future reinstallation to prepare; Listening to music is also absolutely lossless in the ape format. Therefore, the entertainment disk's file characteristics are basically--big!

Recommended Division: Remaining space minus 50GB

Reasons: Entertainment disk, mainly storage and backup files, file size is generally large, but the file read and write is not frequent, so you can not defragment the disk for a long time, so, entertainment disk as the largest partition in the partition is more reasonable.

The download disk is just fine

Today's internet age, if the use of computers in addition to chatting and browsing the web outside the most often do things, I am afraid not to download mo! For example, the download game client described above.

Recommended Division: The remaining 50GB

To divide the reason: as the title says, it's just good. The download disk is divided separately because this partition is the most frequently read and write disk area, so it is necessary to do a lot of disk sorting. The partition is too large, the disk finishing speed will be reduced, too small to meet the file download requirements. So the 50GB space can be said just fine.

Hint: After installing some downloading program, remember to modify the default download path to download disk, otherwise lost the meaning of the separate division yo.

Final Recommended Solution List

The above partition scheme takes the 1TB hard disk as an example, the other capacity hard disk can adjust proportionally. In addition, everyone's actual needs are different, you can use this division as the basis for adjustment to achieve their own requirements. However, we recommend that you divide up to 5 partitions, and that too many partitions are not conducive to management and disk maintenance. In addition, the use of Win7 Disk Management tools, you can do a good job of zoning adjustment, formatting, and so on, without the use of Third-party software, due to the space limit we will not do more explanation, we can personally try. You can also use Master Lu to view the details of the hard drive.
