Windows7 (hereinafter referred to as Win7) in the end how to partition properly, there are many different opinions, many friends choose to follow the WindowsXP (hereafter referred to as WinXP) habits, the hard drive according to the system, download, games, music and Movies and other uses are classified into three to five partitions. But in the new Win7 system has introduced a new concept of "library", then the disk partition in the end is not the same as before, to be divided into many partitions it?
appear in 120GB "hard drive capacity" that At the moment, how to partition the large hard disk is quickly becoming the focus of the user's hot discussion. Especially after the release of Windows XP system by Microsoft, users can find a lot of reasons for the argument that "the big hard disk should be divided into several districts" and "how much should the C disk be divided", "the public said that the public is reasonable, the woman said that the woman is reasonable" The discussion is very enthusiastic. Finally, in the time when Windows XP is popular, everyone seems to default to the phrase "3 to 4 partitions are reasonable." But now, with the release of Windows 7, the topic of "how to partition" has once again attracted the attention of users. Why
has been inconclusive debate in the WindowsXP era, dispute again after Windows7 release it? I believe that this and two generations Caozuojitong rigid system requirements related to format the partition.
accompanied by the emergence of the NTFS partition Windows2000 format, users do not agree with the basic beginning, which reflects customary select FAT32 each time the user will install the system, while ignoring the existence of NTFS. Until Windows XP was released, more and more users were affected by "NTFS is more secure than FAT32", and slowly began to use NTFS format partitions in Windows XP. (Another reason is, FAT32 volume format can not save files larger than 4GB, which is so important for many reasons in WindowsXP users to enable FAT32 instead of NTFS use.) It
improve disk management format, After the release of Windows7, users once again set off the controversy about how to partition a large hard disk. Why do you say
on Microsoft Windows7 Chinese official page, there is such a description:?. "Location to save your backup depends on the available hardware as well as information to be stored in the backup for maximum flexibility, We recommend that you save the backup external hard drive. "
as a result, there are computer users that understanding is, both positive and negative instructions from Microsoft to back up files to" good external hard drive ", in fact, That is to say, in addition to backing up important files on the external hard drive, the internal hard drive is actually divided into one zone. User grounds for this view is as follows:
1. Windows7 even in a case where a system crash, the user covers the mounting, due to the presence of "Windows.old" file, the user data is not damaged;
Tidbits: "Windows.old" What is
in WindowsVista and Windows7, when the user uses the system cover installed, the system will automatically generate a "Windows in the original system hard disk partition?. Old" file. After reinstalling, Windows 7 will transfer the files in the three directories "Windows", "ProgramFiles", and "Users" in the original system to the "Windows.old" folder.
2. do not have to copy a large file size and the temporary "mobile space"; gatherers Tuisan
3. convenient under Windows7 library file management and indexing, users will not find the file because across partitions reducing the rate;
4. disk space utilization can be maximized.
Furthermore, thinks Windows7 users can only divide a region, but also from the negative list of reasons: when to repartition the hard disk partition
1. multi-user, using the PQ and other software, easy Lost data, even partition table errors, the extremely dangerous problem of hard disk recognition.
2. Use Ghost redo the system, tantamount to complete the formatting and new security, it makes all the original partition data loss. (Under System Restore Windows7 or installation, due to the presence of "Windows.old" file, users do not lose data.)
oppose the use of a user partition under Windows7, still with the "multi-partition" easy File management and other reasons are refuted, and the "multi-partition" approach, after years of testing by Windows XP, shows that it is a reasonable way of disk management.
from a common user's point of view, I believe that the library file management Microsoft Windows7 introduced, which has to meet the needs of the "big hard drive only to a district" from the basic conditions. In particular, the management and search of library index files, it has completely replaced the Windows XP resource manager. But if it is a multi-partition, users also need to index different partitions (or partition files), which is undoubtedly a more detour for themselves.
