【 Weak current College 】 XP hard disk partitioning operations efficient and flexible

1. one minute partition and format the hard drive

Right click on the "my computer", select "manage" command. In the open "computer management" window, expand the "computer management" → "storage" → "disk management". Later, in the right pane to see the current hard disk partitions.


In the "Unassigned" disk space on the right click, select "new partition" command.

If a partition on your hard disk capacity is too large, it can be split into two partitions. First of all the disk partitions of any file to another partition. After the "disk management" in the right-click the partition, select "delete logical partitions" command. After you complete the partition deletion confirmation, the partition in the list will be identified as "not assigned" disk space.

After that, in accordance with the above operation, in the "Unassigned" disk space, use the "new partition" command to set the new partition's size, and format the new partition of two.

Need to merge two partitions, you can save all data, use the "delete logical partitions" command, to obtain two blank in the "Unassigned" partition. Then select the "Unassigned" partition, right-click and choose "new partition" command, to complete the merge partition.

3. compression partitions increase disk space

If a disk partition space nervous, and the data in the partitions is not a regular reader, you can leave the partition can be compressed to "increase" you can use the space. Because the compressed partition must be NTFS disk formats, so for a FAT32 disk format partitions, at the command prompt window, execute the/FS "Convert drive letter: NTFS" command, the partition is converted to NTFS disk formats. Then, right-click the partition you want to compress and select "Properties" command. In the opened window choose the "General" tab, check the "compressed drive to save disk space". After you close the window, the system will be disk compression operation is complete we will find the partition free space increase.

4. the command line for the expansion

If a partition of the remaining space, you can also use the partition mode, expansion of to increase available space. At the command prompt window, execute the "Diskpart" command to start the disk management tool on the command line. Then execute the command "listpartition" to display a list of the current system partition.
Suppose you want to delete the third partition, as the second partition volume expansion, you can execute the command "SelectParTtition3" so that the third partition has focus properties, and then do one of the "DeletePartition" you can delete the third partition.

Then perform "Selectpartition2" command, so that the 2nd partition has focus properties, and then do one of the "Extend" command, it will be before delete partition space, automatically added to the partition 2. If the expansion of partition 2 uses NTFS disk formats, the expansion does not lose any data. The final implementation of the "Exit" command to return to the "my computer" you can see the hard disk partition has been expanding.

5. double upgrade the hard disk transfer rate

If you have two hard drives, with dynamic volumes in WindowsXP, can greatly enhance the hard disk transfer rate. First of all, the two hard drives in all partitions to NTFS disk formats. Then open the "disk management" window, use the right click on two hard drives, in the pop-up menu, select "convert to dynamic disk" command, the two hard drives are converted to dynamic disks.

Right-click the second hard after the black area, select "new volume" command. In the Open ** box, click the "next step", occurs 3 options, select the "striped". Click on the "next step", a second hard drive will appear in the "you can select" list, select the space below, enter the amount you want to control a single hard drive space. Click "next", for the establishment of a partition is assigned a drive letter. Click on "next", choose to use the NTFS disk formats, to quickly format the partition, then click "Finish". At this point in "disk management" window displays a list of partitions out of the gray area that is newly created striped volumes.

Open "my computer" and you will see the new partition, when this partition for data reads, you can reach nearly twice the data rate. Use the same steps for the remaining space is new as a striped volume, disk array can be disguised to enjoy the advantages of high data transfer rates.
