As we all know, Vista itself also has a hard disk partition function, can also delete hidden partitions, but the function is much worse than Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0. Many people find that the original partition is unreasonable after using the computer for a long time, but at this time, a large amount of data has been saved on the hard disk. If you use the Fdisk that comes with Windows
to repartition, all data will be deleted. To achieve lossless data adjustment partitions, you must use third-party software to complete. Fortunately, Vista has also begun to provide lossless data partitioning, and we don't have to look for other software. Example 1: 3 steps to divide the large partition into two. Sometimes we may think that the capacity of a certain partition is too large. I want to draw a part of the space to create a new partition. It is more troublesome to implement directly in XP, but in Vista. It's easy to implement. Step 1: Click “Start”, enter “Computer Management” in “Start Search” and press Enter. The User Account Control (UAC) window will pop up, click “Continue” to open the “Computer Management” window. Expand Computer Management→Storage→Disk Management to see the usage of the hard disk on this machine (see Figure 1). Hard disk usage Step 2: Right-click the partition to be split and select “Compress Volume”. The dialog box shown in Figure 2 appears, showing the size of the original partition and the size of the space that can be compressed (ie split). Enter the amount of capacity you want to reduce in the Input Compression Space and click the Compress button to begin compression. Dialog box that appears after selecting "Compressed Volume" Step 3: After the compression is completed, the amount of reduced space will appear in the "Available Space" after the original partition. Right-click on "Available Space", select "New Simple Volume", click "Next" to enter the capacity of the new partition, and then click "Next" to assign the drive letter of the partition, generally select the default drive letter, and then click "Next" Step by step to set the partition format and enter the volume label, and finally click the "Finish" button. At this point, the large partition has been divided into 2 partitions. Adjust the size of the allocated new partition Tip: To adjust the partition through Vista, you must ensure that the partition you want to operate is in NTFS format, otherwise it will not be possible. If the partition is not in NTFS format, you need to convert the format first: Click "Start → All Programs → Accessories", then right-click "Command Prompt" and select "Run as administrator", click "Continue" in the pop-up UAC window. "Enter the command prompt window, as shown in Figure 3, execute the "Convert G: /fs: ntfs" command, which means that the G partition is converted to NTFS format. Of course, you have to choose according to your actual needs. Example 2: N-in-one, multiple partitions combined. After my trial and error, I found that in Vista, it is not possible to directly merge some adjacent partitions in the hard disk into one partition, but it can be realized by the round-trip method. Step 1: Preserve one partition in several partitions to be merged, and then back up the data in other merged partitions to the reserved partition. Note that the partitions to be merged must be adjacent to each other. Step 2: In the "Disk Management" window, right-click on several other partitions to be merged, select the "Delete Volume" command, and then click the "Yes" button to delete these partitions, their capacity will appear in " Available space". Step 3: Right-click on the reserved partition, select the "Extend Volume" command, and then click "Next" to display the dialog box (see Figure 4). The "Maximum Available Space Volume" shows the capacity that can be used to increase. Enter the amount of space you want to increase in Select Space Amount, then click Next and then click the Finish button. In this way, the increased amount of space will be merged into the reserved partition, and will not affect the data in the reserved partition, thus achieving the purpose of merging partitions. The "Extended Volume" wizard window uses the Vista system's own hard disk partitioning function to partition the method. If you don't like to use the third-party partitioning software to operate, just refer to the above two examples and you can completely get the hard disk. Partitioned.
