Windows 7 lossless partitioning and merging operations

Maybe a lot of people are still stuck in the C drive, the smaller the better, the smaller the faster, the less you need to know this is a wrong idea. Friends who have used Linux and MAC systems know that, all partitions of Linux and Mac are

In a root partition/partition, the disk is not divided into multiple partitions like windows. in other words, people who think that the system with a smaller drive is faster will divide the drive C into 20 GB or 10 Gb when installing Windows XP. However, this idea is no longer correct, the system startup speed depends largely on the system startup add-ons and applications.Program, System spam files, malicious files, viruses, and poor operation behaviors. We do not know that the Small Partition size on the C drive will cause inconvenience to the upgrade of applications and the upgrade of the operating system, for example, if you want to upgrade your office2003 to office2007, even if you change the installation path to another disk, the local disk (disk C) will still occupy 500 mb-1000 MB, let alone what vs2008 and MSSQL do you install. With the continuous upgrade of the operating system, the functions become more powerful and the disk consumption increases, for example, after a Professional Edition Windows 7 is installed, it will occupy 8 GB to 10 Gb, and the small 10 GC disk will not be able to accommodate the Big Buddha, here we will talk about how to borrow the capacity of other disks to drive C without partitioning them:

 

In Windows partition mode, a primary partition is assigned to drive C. Other partitions are used as extended partitions to divide logical partitions, such as D, E, and F, at the same time, if you want to expand a disk partition, you can only "borrow" from the adjacent partition (this is critical). Therefore, you must borrow from the D disk to expand the C disk partition, which may cause a problem, it will be explained later.

 

First, use the built-in tool of Windows 7 For lossless partition merge. In this way, use the same type of partition, such as two primary partitions (such as C and D) to ensure that D is the primary partition. If not, otherwise, see the second method). For two logical partitions (such as f, g), take the two c, d primary partitions as an example to divide the D partition into a part of C. The method is as follows:

 

Open disk management in Windows 7, select partition D, right-click and select "compressed volume", compress the required capacity, select partition C, right-click and select "extended volume ", merge your compressed capacity.

 

Second, if you only have one primary partition, C, and other logical partitions, you need to use the disk tool for operations, suchAcronis Disk Director Suite, PQ magic partitions can complete lossless partitions. The operation is very simple. First, compress the D disk in the system disk management and create a volume for the compressed partition ", add drive letter and path,

Then openAcronis Disk Director Suite, Select "add free space", operate, and finally submit. The system automatically restarts to complete the partitioning operation.
