Downloading While Partitioning
Oct 29, 2009I have one drive which I want to partition. Can I partition while I am downloading things? Or should I stop all activity while the partitioning is taking place?

Another Partitioning
Oct 4, 2008Keeping data on a separate partition does not pose a significant advantage for me in terms of safeguarding the data, i.e., I backup everything on a daily basis. I also reformat on a regular basis and so the extra time needed to bring everything back to par is not an inconvenience - I actually enjoy it. Nevertheless, and here's my question, does having the OS on a separate partition really offer enough efficiency and performance gains to justify the partitioning? I realize this depends on how much enough is enough for my taste, but.

Jul 10, 2008I recently installed Vista Ultimate 64 into a brand new self-built pc. The HD is 1TB in size. Vista put some 'unmoveable' files in the middle of the HD, and, of course, I cannot now reduce the size of the C drive down to the size I want it to be, as the C drive must contain the unmoveable files.

Mar 18, 2009My drive currently looks like this: I would like to take the unallocated space and Free space and turn them into a 40GB partition or otherwise add about 20GB each to the C: and E: drives. I tried the partition software here, but it wouldn't let add the free space and Unallocated space together. It would only let me format them into seperate partitions. It did say though that the Unallocated space is a primary partition, and the free space is a logical partition, if this makes any difference. The drive is 2 x 500GB drives in RAID 0, and I'm running Vista Business x64.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDon't Understand Partitioning Rule
Mar 26, 2008I will be using 100GB HD for Vista. I have never partitioned a drive before. I do have Partition Magic but have not looked at it yet. I was wondering if it makes sense to divide the HD so Vista is on one part but the other programs install on a different partition. Would that make reformatting Vista easier? If it is a good idea how much should be allocated to the Vista partition. Can Vista do it adequately or should I use PM for making the partitions. As you can guess I don't understand partitioning rules at all!

Aug 3, 2009I just started running Vista Ultimate 64bit. I had a copy of Windows XP Pro, and I created all my partitions in that, when I upgraded I just formatted my drive C and installed Vista. I was told that I should not partition any drives that have partitions created in XP or earlier systems because it will cause the data to corrupt, due to the way Vista deals with the sectors of the hard drive. Is there any truth to this?

Mar 20, 2010partition on his 1 terabyte HD with Windows 7 premium installed. In Computeradmin. it shows: The HD is partitioned with: boot partition without a letter - 100 MB. OEM partition also without a letter - 20 MB.
C: partition, system - 945 GB.
D: partition, Recover- 20 GB
All partitions are Simple, fundamental, primary partitions. I did reduce the C-partition from 945 to 439 GB. Then I would make a new simpel partition on the unallocated part. I right clicked to create a simple partition, but it said all partitions would be converted to dynamic dishes. I would only have a simple partition, but there was no such choice.
Partitioning: Windows Doesn't Seem To Be Satisfied With The 30GB
Nov 24, 2008My husband's computer was set up at the release of Vista, so that's a while ago. At that time, he decided that a windows partition of 30 GB would be adequate. His computer has 2 physical disks. The second physical disk is set up just the way he likes it. The disk with the windows partition on it is set up as follows. 30 GB for the windows partition, 15 GB for his documents (seperate partition) and the rest is also a seperate partition.
The swap file is located on the second physical disk. I've recently found out that there is 9,7 GB of unallocated space on the windows physical disk which can't seem to be either added to another of the partitions OR allocated as a seperate partition (no clue why). The problem is that windows doesn't seem to be satisfied with the 30GB anymore, not with installed programs and stuff.............
Cannot Expand System Partition, Partitioning Software
Mar 11, 2009Before you flame the thread saying partitioning capabilities are already included in x64, they are bad and limited. I cannot expand my system partition even with unallocated space on the drive sitting there unused. For example, i have a 750gb sata system drive which is partitioned into 3 spaces, my system partitionn, my media partition and unallocated space partition, i wanted to add this 100gb of unallocated space to my system partition so that it will have some headroom and space for further programs if need be. However vista ultimate's disk management does not allow this like partition magic used to. Of course partition magic is not compatible with vista[hurray] so i need compatible software to do so

View 4 Replies View RelatedPartitioning HD: Minimum Shrink Existing Partition Around 176gb?
Mar 29, 2008I have Vista Home Premium preloaded on a Dell Inspiron 1520 with a 320gb hard drive. I would like to isolate the OS from my data by shrinking the OS partition to 42GB and creating another partition for my data. However, Vista's partitioning utility says the minimum I can shrink the existing partition to is around 176gb. I suspect that even though I have defragged the hard drive, there is some part of the OS that is sitting on the drive out far enough to cause this. I can't verify this because Vista's defrag utility doesn't show you a map of the drive during defrag. Anyone know of a way around this?

Oct 17, 2008I'm having a BLANK EMAIL problem with my Toshiba Satellite A135-S4417 Laptop with Vista Home 32 bit. I have my PC with XP also connected to my Embarqmail website that receives email just fine, but the laptop doesn't. Sometimes, almost daily, many of my emails download blank, no sender, no subject, nothing in the body of the email, just the time it was downloaded. I know they are supposed to be legitimate emails because I have downloaded them on my PC. I have it set up so the emails stay in the Webmail after they've been downloaded so I can pick them up later on my laptop. I've called Embarq and have searched online with Toshiba and now I'm here, with no success so far. I know a little about computers and can follow directions, but I'm not a whiz.
