Why use Disk Partitioning?
Dont have an external hd? Stay protected and Partition your hard drive!
Before you begin: Do NOT partition a hard-drive that already has important files on it. The Disk Partitioning process should only be performed on new computers as it will delete all files on the device being partitioned.
What is Disk Partitioning?
A Disk Partitioning program or partition wizard can virtually “split” your single hard drive into independent sections that perform as well and are about as safe from crashes as an external hard drive but minus the bulk. Once again before you begin you should know that I partitioned my hard drive BEFORE I installed windows, if you use Disk Partitioning on a hard drive with important data on it already you will lose that data and most likely have to reinstall windows.
How does Disk Partitioning work?
In order for an application to run allproogram files must be installed on the C/ drive while other files and documents can be launched from anywhere. Take for example example my 1000 gigabyte C drive. I re-partitioned into a 300gig C/ and 700gig D/ Installing windows 7 and all my program files on the C/ and moving all my media and documents to the new D/ partition.) Most people dont need that much C/ drive but I need it for my large graphic and editing suites and ISO gaming all of which require a lot of C/ drive space.
How is Disk Partitioning helpful?
If you have a new laptop you can use Disk Partitioning to easily partition your internal drive so if you are traveling and your laptop crashes you can just throw the windows disk in and after re-installing Windows you will already have access to all your important files and documents. As someone who constantly pushes their PC to the limits I encounter a lot of crashes. Disk Partitioning saves my life countless times a year. For me time is money, and this saves me tons of time after a crash. The partition software paid for itself after the first crash. TIP: Save a copy of all application setup files on the new partition as well.
