Seven major principles of hard disk partition

Hard disk partitioning is easy and simple, isn't it. But the best and most convenient hard disk partitions are not for everyone. Especially for beginners, master some of the basic principles of hard disk partitions, can be more handy in the subsequent use, and will not be in a certain application can not be realized when the initial zoning program regret.

　　Principle One: FAT32 is the most suitable for C disk

Reason: C disk is generally used to install the operating system, usually has FAT32 and NTFS two kinds of disk File system format selection. I think it is more convenient to use FAT32 in my experience. Because the operating system often occurs abnormally or is infected by a virus trojan, we usually need to use the startup tool to repair. and many startup tool disk is Win98 Startup disk evolved, most of the time can not identify the NTFS partition, which can not operate C disk, I have encountered, in DOS D disk mistaken for C disk, hastily formatted and lost years of data collection of painful experience.

　Principle two: C disk should not be too big

Reason: C disk is a system disk, hard disk read and write more, produce errors and disk fragmentation of the probability is also large, scan disk and defragment is the daily work, and these two work time and the capacity of the disk is closely related. C disk capacity is too large, often make these two work extremely slow, thus affecting the efficiency of the proposed C disk capacity in 10GB~20GB more appropriate.

　　Principle three: Use NTFS partition except C disk

Reason: NTFS file system is a security and reliability based file system, in addition to compatibility, it is far superior to FAT32. Not only can it support partitions up to 2TB in size, but it also supports compression of partitions, folders, and files to manage disk space more efficiently. For LAN users, you can set access permission permissions on NTFS partitions for shared resources, folders, and files, which are much more secure than FAT32. So, in addition to using FAT32 for compatibility in the primary system partition, it is more appropriate to use NTFS for other partitions.

　Principle four: The benefits of dual systems and even multiple systems

Reason: Now Trojan, virus, system slow, unable to access the Internet, the system can not start is a very common thing. Once this happens, reload, antivirus to consume a lot of time, often delayed work. Some stubborn boot-loaded trojans and viruses cannot even be removed from the original system. And at this point if there is a backup system, things will be much simpler, start to another system, you can easily antivirus, delete trojan, repair another system, and even with the original system to restore. Even if you do not do the processing, you can use another system to start work, not because of computer problems delay things.

So the dual system and even multiple system benefits, partition in addition to C disk, and then retain one or two spare system partition is necessary, the backup system partition can also be used to install some software programs, capacity about 20GB can be.

　　Principle V: Systems, procedures, data separation

Reason: Windows has a bad habit of putting some personal data, such as My Documents, on the system partition by default. As a result, data security is problematic once the system disk is formatted to kill viruses and Trojans completely without backing up data.

The right thing to do is to install the programs that need to copy files and write data in the System folder and registry into the system partition; For those programs that can be installed in a green installation, files that can be run only by installing folders are placed into the program partition, and the various texts, tables, documents, etc. do not contain executable files. Other programs are required to open the data and are placed in the data partition. This way, even if the system is paralyzed and has to be reinstalled, the available programs and data are not missing, and can quickly resume work without having to worry about recovering data for the program.

　Principle VI: Keep at least one mega partition

Reason: It should be admitted that as the size of the hard disk increases, the volume of files and programs becomes larger. A previously compressed movie was hundreds of MB, and now an HDTV is close to 20GB; the previous game was just dozens of MB, the bigger one was hundreds of MB, and now a game is a few gigabytes. If you are partitioning on the basis of the averaging principle, the storage of these mega files will be in trouble when you want to save two of HDTV movies. Therefore, for a large amount of hard disk, it is very necessary to separate a capacity of more than 100GB partition for the storage of mega files.

　　Principle VII: Give BT or electric mule a partition at the end of the disk

Reason: BT and electric mule This kind of point-to-point transmission software for disk read and write more frequently, long-term use may cause a certain damage to the hard disk, serious even cause bad way. For disk bad, we usually fix the solution, but once it is not repaired, we should use PQMAIGC such software to screen. At this point, you'll find that the partition size at the end of the disk and the blocking of the bad track are much easier to operate. So it is more convenient to keep a partition at the end of the disk for BT or electric mule.
