How to partition 2TB hard disk is the most reasonable

  
Many people are thinking about how to distinguish the disk in order to make the computer not store the card and store more document software. Following small to give a 2TB disk partition style:

system partition

less than equal to 50GB, partition data files of various programs in the system very much, whether it is powered on or run driver , or other programs are accessing the system partition at any time, so according to the partitions that are frequently accessed, and the Windows764 system, for example, the maximum disk space of no more than 50 GB is enough. The partition file system format selects NTFS, many functions. Must be run in this mode. Software partitioning



Usually this partition package to save the installation program to install the driver installation package directory, as well as some common office software, the size is approximately 50 ~ 100GB < BR>
game partition

100 ~ 200GB substantially larger game like installation is 5 ~ 15GB, so 200G space enough to hold all the current mainstream games.

Animation & Music & Video partition

partition casual suggestion could be considered in accordance with the headings save aliquot of the partition, the number of partitions can be equally divided all the remaining disk space, 200GB a Or larger, consider the time when the data recovery of the larger partition is proportional to the disk partition capacity. It is not recommended to divide the capacity of the partition too large, so as to avoid the difficulty of recovering when the data is unexpected.

============================================ ==================

of course, the above is my understanding popular ...... after all, some things can not always be explained by the major principles. But the reason is still needed... to show you the different partitions. After



type hard disk partition, will form three kinds of forms of partition status; i.e. primary partitions, extended partitions and non-DOS partition.



DOS partition on the hard disk DOS partition Africa (Non-DOSPartition) is a special form of partition, which is a region of the hard disk is divided out for another operating system alone For the operating system of the primary partition, it is a storage space that is divided out. Only a non-DOS partitioned operating system can manage and use this storage area.



primary partition partition is a primary partition relatively simple, usually a front region of the hard disk constituting the logical disk C. The main boot program is part of it. This program is mainly used to detect the correctness of the hard disk partition and determine the active partition. It is responsible for handing over the boot right to the DOS or other operating system of the active partition. Damage to this program will not be able to boot from the hard disk, but the hard disk can be read and written after the soft zone or zone.

concept

extended partition and the extended partition is relatively complicated, very easily lead to confusion logical disk and hard disk partition; fourth byte partition table partition type value may be normal The basic DOS partition value greater than 32 mb is 06, and the extended DOS partition value is 05. If you change the basic DOS partition type to 05, you will not be able to boot the system and you will not be able to read or write data.

if 06 instead DOS does not recognize the type as efh, it is believed that the DOS partition is not a DOS partition, of course, can not read and write. Many people use this type of value to implement a single partition encryption technology, and restore the original correct type value to restore the partition to normal.

common partition format

FAT16

on the old computer "bird" is concerned, on this hard disk partition format is the most familiar, and we are all in this big partition The format recognizes and steps into the computer threshold. It uses a 16-bit file allocation table, and the maximum partition that can be supported is 2gb. It is the most widely used disk partition format currently supported by the operating system. Almost all operating systems support this format, from DOS, Win3.x, Win95, Win97 to Win98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, non-system partitions of Windows Vista and Windows 7, and even popular Linux in recent years support this partition format.

FAT16 partition format but there is a major drawback, that is, the actual utilization of low efficiency of the hard disk. Because in DOS and Windows systems, the allocation of disk files is in clusters, a cluster is only allocated to one file, regardless of the size of the entire cluster. Moreover, the size of each cluster is determined by the size of the hard disk partition. The larger the partition, the larger the cluster. For example, if a 1GB hard disk is divided into only one area, the size of the cluster is 32KB, that is, even if a file is only 1 byte long, it will occupy 32KB of hard disk space when stored, and the remaining space will be idle there. This leads to a huge waste of disk space. The larger the partition supported by FAT16, the larger the capacity of each cluster on the disk, and the greater the waste. Therefore, as the capacity of current mainstream hard disks becomes larger and larger, this shortcoming becomes more and more prominent. In order to overcome this weakness of FAT16, Microsoft introduced a new disk partition format FAT32 in the Windows97 operating system.

FAT32

This format uses 32-bit file allocation table, so the disk management capabilities greatly enhanced, breaking the limitations of FAT16 capacity of each partition is only 2GB, using FAT32 After the partition format, the user can define a large hard disk as a partition without having to be divided into several partitions, which greatly facilitates the management of the hard disk. Moreover, FAT32 also has one of the biggest advantages: in a partition of no more than 8GB, the capacity of each cluster in the FAT32 partition format is fixed to 4KB, which can greatly reduce the waste of hard disk space and improve the hard disk compared with FAT16. usage efficiency.

currently support this format partition operating system has Windows97 /98/2000 /XP /Vista /7. However, this partition format also has its shortcomings. The first is the disk partitioned by FAT32 format. Due to the expansion of the file allocation table, the running speed is slower than that of the FAT16 format partition. In addition, due to the DOS system and some early applications. The software does not support this partition format, so with this partition format, you can no longer use the old DOS operating system and some old applications. www.xitongzhijia.Net

NTFS

NTFS is a new disk format, early in WindowsNT network operating system Commonly used, but with the improvement of security, this format is also used in Windows Vista and Windows 7 operating systems, and only NTFS format can be used as the system partition format in Windows Vista and Windows 7. Its remarkable advantages are excellent security and stability, and it is not easy to generate file fragments during use, which is beneficial to the space utilization of the hard disk and the running speed of the software. It can record the user's operation. By restricting the user's authority very strictly, each user can only operate according to the authority given by the system, which fully protects the security of the network system and data.

exFAT

exFAT (full name ExtendedFileAllocationTableFileSystem, extended FAT, i.e., the extended file allocation table) is Microsoft's WindowsEmbeded6.0 (including WindowsCE6.0, WindowsMobile) is introduced which is suitable for flash File system. For flash, the NTFS file system is too complex and exFAT is more suitable.

relative FAT file system, exFAT has the following advantages:

enhanced desktop and mobile device interoperability

single maximum file size up to 16EB (2305843009213693952 bytes is a 16M TB, 1TB = 1024G)

cluster size can be up to 32MB

uses the remaining space allocation table, the remaining space allocation performance improvements

the same directory as the maximum file number up to 65,536

support access control

support TFAT

using the flash disk file system does not support WindowsVistaReadyBoost. WindowsVistASP1 supports this file system.
