How to Change the External Hard Disk Partitions
Posted in Repair by Manyu Sunday, November 15th, 2009
When using computers for some time, many friends found that the original hard disk partition has been established can not adapt to the requirements of current applications, the most common situation is that C drive partition size is too small, E disk was too idle. Then you may be very troubled, because if you want to re-set the partition, you must to back up data of all partitions on hard disk, it’s horrible!
Then Partition Magic to change the external hard disk partition functions [without backing up data] will give our a big help, follow my presentation then do it.
First, select the hard disk partitions that need to changed; on the tool bar click on a bi-directional arrow button to start the Resize / Move, move the mouse to the green stripe on the above, you can directly drag, at the same time, you will find values shown below the box will be changed. Note that, in the striped box, the green meaning the remaining space not used, the black meaning it has been used, the gray mean the size of released FreeSpace. In addition, you can also directly fill out the needs of the partition size on the following value box. But the size of released free hard drive partition can not exceed the maximum size of free space, while the newly generated partition NewSize can not be smaller than the size of hard disk capacity has been used.
Setting the location of the new partition: Partition Magic to set the location of the new partition is through the value “FreeSpace Before” and the “FreeSpace After” to be achieved. If the value of “FreeSpace Before” is 0, it indicating a new row in the same geographical area, If you change the D drive, the new partition will between D,E, If the value of “FreeSpace After” is 0,it indicating new partition before the original partition, the new partition between C, D. In general we don’t need to change the default value for the cluster size (Cluster-Size).
Completed the setting, identify it, it does not matter, as long as you’re not pressing the circle button on the main interface, these settings will not be implemented.
Now look at the list of the external hard disk partition, there is a new free space.
