Detailed introduction of WinPE installation and hard disk partition hidden

Many users are puzzled, why should WinPE be installed in the hidden place of the hard disk partition, of course, this is not installed casually, it is very necessary to install in this place, below Let us explain this necessity for everyone. When the system fails, we often perform data backup or repair the system in the WinPE environment. In addition to the USB flash drive, we can also install Winpe on the hard disk. However, when the system fails to boot, WinPE installed on the hard disk often suffers from the disaster and cannot be used normally. When the system fails, we often perform data backup or repair the system in the WinPE environment. In addition to the USB flash drive, we can also install Winpe on the hard disk. However, when the system fails to boot, WinPE installed on the hard disk often suffers from the disaster and cannot be used normally. How can I solve this problem? Install WinPE into the hidden partition, so that the partition where WinPE is located cannot be recognized by the system under Windows, and of course it will not be destroyed by the virus. Next, the author will tell you how to achieve it.

First, establish a new hard disk partition, save WinPE space

Because WinPE is often only a few hundred MB in size, so in order to avoid wasting too much hard disk space, we need to separate a separate WinPE A hard disk partition with a small space. Specifically, we need to perform the following steps:

Step 1: First make a backup of the last partition data of the hard disk (the author's E disk), then extract and run DiskGenius, then right click In the E disk shown in the figure, select “ delete the current partition & rdquo;, delete it; right click on the deleted partition, select “ partition & rarr; create a new partition & rdquo;, then open “ create a new partition & rdquo ; dialog box, change the value 16 in the new partition large skew to 15 and click the "OK" button.

Step 2: Click the “Apply Changes” button in the main interface to make the partition operation of the E disk take effect, then select “Partition & Rarr; Format the current partition” to complete the E The format operation of the disk; at this time, a column chart named "Idle" is displayed on the right side of the hard disk partition display (the remaining part after the 16 GB E disk is repartitioned); and then the E disk is partitioned. Operation, perform the operation of creating a new partition and formatting the partition for the remaining part of the hard disk space; finally, right click to display the column chart of the F disk, select “ partition & rarr; convert to the main partition & rdquo; The F disk is set as the primary partition.

Second, add the boot boot menu

After the hard disk repartition, the next step is to add a boot prompt menu to enable the normal operation of the hidden partition even in the event of a system crash. WinPE. The startup prompt menu is added as follows:

First run the decompressed “grubinst_gui.exe”, then click the drop-down arrow to the right of the "disk" radio button to select “(hd0 )[41863MB]”(The meaning of this parameter is the size of the total capacity of your local hard drive, different computers are not exactly the same); click the "partition list" "refresh" button on the right Click the drop-down arrow on the right side of the “Partition List” to select the new “MBR” option.

After completing the above operation, tick the option ” below the "Do not search for floppy disk when booting" and "Prioritize the original MBR" check box, set "& wait" time and rdquo; and “ Hotkey & rdquo; parameters (for example, the former is 3, the latter is F9), and finally click the "Install" button, a DOS prompt window will pop up, press the Enter key to complete the boot The prompt menu has been added.
