Partitioning

  • Drive partitioning lets you divide a single physical drive into a number of logical drives, each of which serves as a container with its own drive letter and volume label, thus enabling the operating system to process data more efficiently. Besides partitioning makes it possible to organize data so that it is easy to find and manage. You can set aside, for instance, 40 GB of a 160 GB hard drive for the OS, 70 GB for storing video and another 50 GB for your favorite music collections to provide transparent data storage.

    It is also worth mentioning to that with a hard drive properly partitioned, such routine operations as files de-fragmentation or consistency check will not be that annoying and time-consuming any more.

    By detaching the OS from the rest of the data you can tackle one more crucial issue - in case of a system malfunction, you can get the system back on track in minutes by recovering it from a backup image Backup Image is an archive of the disk, which includes all the on-disk files and service information on the disk layout. To restore disks from such an archive means retrieving all informational components of the disk (e.g. a hard disk image consists of its partitions, the Partition Table and even bootstrap code). located on the other partition of the hard drive.

    But that is not all drive partitioning may be used for. If you are willing to play games in Windows while browsing the Internet in Linux, 100-percent sure that no virus will attack your PC, drive partitioning is a necessity. In order to run several OSs on a single hard drive you are to create a corresponding number of partitions to effectively delineate the boundaries of each OS.

    Our program offers a wide-range functionality in the field of managing the hard disk structure:
    1. Create Partition to Create a new partition by using the DOS partitioning scheme Partitioning scheme is a set of rules, constraints and the format of on-disk structures that keep information of the partitions that are located on the hard disk. There are several partitioning schemes, which can be used. The most popular partitioning scheme is the so-called DOS partitioning scheme. It was introduced by IBM and Microsoft to use multiple partitions in the disk subsystems on IBM PC compatible computers. Another popular partitioning scheme is the so-called LDM (Logical Disks Model) that originates from UNIX mainframe systems. The Veritas Executive accommodates the simplified version of LDM to the Windows 2000 operating system. Windows 2000 and XP support two quite different partitioning schemes: the old DOS partitioning scheme and the new Dynamic Disk Management (DDM). The problem is that older versions of Windows do not support DDM. In addition, most hard disk utilities do not support it as well.;
    2. Format Partition to format a partition to any file system supported by the program;
    3. Redistribute Free Space to assist in increasing free space of one partition at the expense of unallocated space of the disk and unused space of other partitions;
    4. Traditional Partition Manager 11. It offers its own interface and covers all the product functionality. Actually it is a set of wizards and operation dialogs which can be started with the help of a handy launcher. Besides thanks to an advanced program engine you can see all changes made to your hard disk in an easy to catch graphical form before they are in fact accomplished thus minimizing the possibility of any mistake.
