Hard disk partitioning scheme big delivery

  
[editor press]:
The large-capacity hard disk provides users with more storage space, but it also brings a small problem: if it is used every 2~3GB If you divide a zone, the drive letter may reach more than 10 or more. How many zones should your hard drive be divided into, and how large is the capacity of each zone?

Partitions format


before providing partitioning scheme, first introduced some common sense on the hard disk. According to the current popular operating system, there are three commonly used partition formats, namely FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS formats.

FAT16:

This is the disk partition format used in MS-DOS and the earliest Windows 95 operating system. It uses a 16-bit file allocation table, which is currently the most supported disk partition format. Almost all operating systems support this partition format, from DOS, Windows 95, Windows OSR2 to Windows 98 and Windows. Me, Windows NT, Windows 2000, and even the latest Windows XP support FAT16, but only supporting 2GB hard disk partitions has become a major drawback. Another disadvantage of the FAT16 partition format is that the disk utilization efficiency is low (see the related material for specific technical details). To solve this problem, Microsoft introduced a new disk partition format, FAT32, in Windows 95 OSR2.

FAT32:

This format uses 32-bit file allocation table on disk management capabilities greatly enhanced, breaking the limit under FAT16 capacity of each partition is only 2GB. Due to the current production cost of the hard disk, its capacity is getting larger and larger. After using the FAT32 partition format, we can define a large-capacity hard disk as a partition without having to be divided into several partitions, which greatly facilitates the management of the disk. Moreover, compared with FAT16, FAT32 can greatly reduce disk waste and improve disk utilization. Currently, Windows 95 OSR2 and later operating systems support this partition format. However, this partition format also has its drawbacks. The first is a disk partitioned in FAT32 format. Due to the expansion of the file allocation table, the running speed is slower than that of the disk partitioned by FAT16 format. In addition, since DOS and Windows 95 do not support this partition format, DOS and Windows 95 systems will no longer be available with this partition format.

NTFS:

It has the advantage of excellent security and stability, and it is not easy to produce file fragments in use. And 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 system and data. This partitioning format is supported by Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows XP.

Ext2:

This is the most used file system in Linux. It is designed for Linux with the fastest speed and the lowest CPU usage. Ext2 can be used for standard block devices (such as hard disks) as well as mobile storage devices such as floppy disks. There is now a new generation of Linux file systems such as SGI's XFS, ReiserFS, and Ext3 file systems. The disk partition format of Linux is completely different from other operating systems. The meanings of partitions such as C, D, E, and F are also different from those under the Windows operating system. After using the Linux operating system, the chance of crashing is greatly reduced. However, the operating system that currently supports this partition format is only Linux, and Linux is still difficult for most users, and will not be described in detail here.

partition scheme recommended


To a reasonable allocation of hard disk space, we need to consider three aspects:

1,
Partition according to the type and number of operating systems to be installed.
2,
According to the classification of each partition data type.
3,
Divided for ease of maintenance and organization.

60 ~ 100GB hard below to provide an example of four types of hard disk partition scheme, for reference (see Table 1-6).

our home-based partitioning scheme (60 ~ 100GB) as an example to talk about the reason for this division:

household type is for the purposes of office, entertainment, gaming purposes, you can install a Windows 98 and Windows XP. Windows 98 has excellent compatibility and can be used exclusively for entertainment. Windows XP has a strong stability for office and learning.

C plate:

recommended partition size is 3 ~ 5GB, FAT32 format. The C drive is mainly installed with Windows 98 and some relatively small commonly used applications. The capacity of 3 to 5G is considered. When the computer is operating, the system needs to temporarily store some temporary files on the C drive for processing. Therefore, the C drive must maintain a certain amount of Free space, and it can also avoid the boot initialization and defragmentation time is too long.

D disk:

recommended partition size is 10GB, NTFS format, used to install Windows XP and some common office and application software, NTFS partition format has strong stability Sex and safety, especially suitable for office and study.

E disk:

recommended partition size is 10 ~ 15GB, FAT32 format. D disk is mainly used to install relatively large application software (such as: Photoshop), common tools (such as: Super Jieba), etc., and it is recommended to establish centralized management of the directory in this partition.

F plate:

recommended partition size is 10 ~ 20GB, FAT32 format. Mainly used to install game software. If necessary, you can divide the type of game.

G plate:

recommended partition size is 15 ~ 20GB, FAT32 format. If you are a music fan, there are a lot of MP3, WMA or the entire VCD copy of the file to be stored, you can divide a larger G area, because you are placed some multimedia files, such as MP3, VCD *. Dat, because a single file (*.dat) is huge, it requires a large chunk of space, and these files generally do not need to be edited, but are only played back with dedicated software. The quality and speed of playback enjoyment is minimally related to the disk data structure, depending on the performance of the CPU, graphics card, and the amount of physical memory available to the current system. Therefore, we do not have the need to defragment these partitions frequently.

H disc:

remaining space, FAT32 format. The H disk is mainly used for file backup. Such as Windows registry backup, Ghost backup and computer hardware such as display cards, sound cards, modems, printers and other drivers, as well as various software installation procedures. This speeds up software installation or sharing with other users on the LAN. At the same time, you can avoid the trouble of looking for the driver CD when you reinstall or upgrade the operating system. This partition does not need to be defragmented frequently. It is enough to sort it once after the data is placed, and the frequency of data update is low. Place the partition of the *.gho ​​file. If you run the defragmentation frequently, it may damage the data in the compressed package, causing an error when Ghost recovers the system.

here, all the disk space is divided finished. Probably 5 to 6 partitions, the various data categories are well organized. Of course, you can also sort the data more closely and partition it. For example, Ghost backup and Windows installation program can be opened separately. Music MP3 and VCD *.dat files can also be partitioned. In short, each operating system should, in principle, monopolize a 2 to 5 GB partition. Do not put other important documents and emails other than the operating system and office software to facilitate maintenance by Ghost. The total number of partitions is recommended not to exceed 10, otherwise it will be more troublesome to manage and easy to mess.
