loadTOCNode(2, "summary"); In some cases it may be necessary to adjust the total capacity of the C drive, such as the pre-installed Windows 7 operating system just purchased. notebook. If there is only one C drive partition, and the capacity of the partition is large, resulting in less space for other allocable disks, you can solve the problem by using the "Compression" function in the disk management tool.
