HARD DISK PARTITIONING Question

[BiliBidboy]

i have a 300GB external hard drive. i was so excited when i first got it, i started loading lotsa\\\' stuff in it without making partitions. My question is, is there a \\\"partitioner\\\" that could devide it without moving the files in it? and where can i download it? thanks in advance!

p.s.

i posted this topic sa TPC..up to now la sumasagot...tsk..

mga brod pwede pa paturo kung paano i partition ang drive using partition magic. thank you

[marzi]

kung meron ka na ng partition magic:

1. know the total size of your harddrive
2. know the number of partitions you want in that harddrive and how much space you wanted in each partition(mine has 3 partitions in it)
3. if youre using norton partition magic, madali ang navigation - just click create a new partition then the wizard will help you...may konting math lang para sa estimate(addition/subtraction)

so for example, meron akong 250gb hdd space...i need 60gb for my windows/program files tapos 95gb sa games tapos 95gb sa multimedia files(images, videos, music etc)

kung windows xp ang gamit mo, make sure youre formatting the partitions to NTFS...FAT32 is for lower versions, i think...

thank you brad marzi subukan ko natakot kasi ako baka mabura uyng aking mga files.

kung may nakasave ng mga files jan sa hdd mo at ngayon ka pa lang gagawa ng partition wag mo problemahin ang pagkawala ng files...usually maiiwan yan sa unang drive partition eh...so yung mga bagong partitions mo walang laman yun...

ako nagka problema kagabi kasi ni-resize ko yung partition ng drive ko for games at nilagay ko drive ng mga files/programs...ayun ayaw na mag run nung ibang games...mukang may nasama sa lipat papunta sa kabilang partition  reinstall puyatan to mamyang gabi...

I would recommend the Ubuntu live CD. Google it.

It's an OS which can also edit partitions with a graphical interface.

If you need more info, just PM me.

I've been a long-time Partition Magic user kahit nung pre-Symantec buyout era pa (Powerquest). It does what it's supposed to do. Very simple and efficient ang program na yan.

Ang gamit ko currently is the free software sa hard disk drive ko (Seagate DiscWizard).

i had issue with partition magic before, after resizing the disc partitions that i have, when it ask to restart, it crashed my system and couldn't find the primary partition where my boot files are. so, i had to reformat and reinstall my programs again.

fdisk pa din ako. i set my partition to size where i will never resize. like 30%system, 65% data, and 5% swap
