XP system uses its own hard disk for partition

One, use XP own Disk Management to partition:

Note: This hard disk partitioning method does not operate on the C disk (if you have only one letter C, you cannot use this method);

Warning: This method of hard disk partitioning will result in the loss of disk data other than the system disk, please transfer important data before implementation;

Partition Detailed steps:

1, right button My Computer selection-management-storage-disk management, on the right side will show your computer's disk partitions;

2, right key to a certain partition (do not choose c disk, remember!), select Delete Logical drive, use this method to remove all non-C-disk partitions, after the partition after the C disk will be deleted after an unassigned, this is the hard disk on the other than the system disk space;

3, right not assigned partition, select new logical Drive Next, enter the partition value in the Partition size bar (unit m, because 1G is about 1000M, so when we want to set 30G for a disk character partition, the data should be 30000, if 100G, Enter the number should be 100000, click Next, set the drive letter (generally do not change), next;

4, choose whether to format the new partition, the alternative in order to facilitate, the general D disk partition size set to 30G or so, used for storage system backup, software backup, information, and other letter of choice, the proposed use of NTFS format, although can not be read by DOS, but NTFS is more secure, And more efficient use of storage space than FAT32, there is a partition when more than 40G can not use the FAT32 format, so if your hard disk is more than 120G hard disk, we recommend that the partition after the D-disk to use the NTFS format, Later I will say how to rescue files in NTFS format in case of system problems;

5, check the quick format, even if the new purchase, hard drive in the factory have been formatted, so do not need a slow format, if you are the old hard drive, has been used for several years, it is recommended that you do not check this option, so as to avoid the hard drive has been bad road problems;

6, complete. Repeat the 345 steps until you are satisfied with the hard drive partition.

Second, the use of tools on the XP system hard disk partitions:

Typically used by pqmagic and Partitionmanager, these two tools are good to use, and sometimes XP Disk Management is not complete, this tool can usually help you solve the problem, and support for the C disk capacity adjustment.

If you adjust the partition under XP, you need to install one of the above software, and then adjust the size of a partition, you need to note that the C partition is independent, the remaining partition will have a total capacity, and then the partition capacity, for example:

If your hard drive is 120G, only a C partition, you can right key C partition by adjusting capacity, the C partition is adjusted to 20G (note, in the input is the unit of M, so 20G should be entered 20000M, a similar, no longer indicated), the remaining 100G will become a logical partition, Learn to right-click on this newly generated logical partition to create a 20G D partition that can be used as a partition, but it is best not to format a partition that is more than 32G rather than to FAT32 instead of using NTFS.

Small suggestion:

1. You'd better think about the size and number of each partition before you do it, so that you don't have to input or create errors, and start over again;

2, right key to a certain partition when there will be changes to the drive letter options, if your optical drive symbol is not the last one, and you look at this is not pleasing to the eye, you can change the drive letter correction (think good again operation, lest again cost kungfu);

3, is FAT32 or NTFS? A lot of friends who are familiar with the computer will be a bit DOS, will also be a little system rescue, so they tend to think that FAT32 will be more easily recognized, so it is recommended that you use FAT32 format, which in the computer city or repair shop is very common. In fact, NTFS has a lot more benefit than FAT32, and I've said three advantages in step 4, NTFS has an absolute advantage in terms of data security, storage utilization, and support for maximum hard disk capacity.

If you want to ask, what if the system breaks down one day? There are many ways: 1, many DOS toolbox to support the NTFS file format read; 2, if you do not use DOS, then from the online next WinPE tools (rain forest wind, deep system disk has integrated WinPE), burning discs, The WinPE is then used to boot into the system, just like entering WinXP, to read and copy the important files in NTFS format freely.

4, if the above partitions unfortunate failure, do not be afraid, please burn a pqmagic partition tool with the XP installation disk, has been prepared contingency, but this possibility does not exceed 1%.

5, if the installation of hidden partitions of the computer, such as the early Lenovo computer has hidden a key to restore the partition, please carefully use the partition tool to remove the last partition, the new version of Lenovo Computer is no longer so isolated a separate partition, but with a hidden Lenovo folder stored in D disk.

This article WinXP Zoning strategy is long, write also more detailed, we must take a step-by-step in the division carefully look down, especially inside some need to pay attention to the point and the small suggestions at the end of the article, can make you more smooth completion of the WinXP partition. After the partition is completed, it is necessary to simply calculate if there are any areas that are not partitioned, and some errors may cause some of the hard disk capacity to be hidden. However, whether the partition is successful or not, as long as the contents of the hard disk in advance to backup do not have to worry about, the rest is in practice slowly accumulate experience, I believe that after a few times you can become a division master.
