This article talks about how to create, change or delete sections hard disk windows tools 7.
For work S. partitions hard Disc in Windows 7 There is a tool called "Disc Control": Control Panel → System and Security → Administration → Computer Management → Disk Management or "Start" → In the search string, enter: diskmgmt.msc. And press ENTER.

1. Creating a section
Right-click on the free, not occupied by other sections, the location of the desired hard disk → Create a simple volume... Window Creation Wizard opens simple Tomov", Press the" Next "button. Then to specify the size of the generated partition, assign a drive letter, select the desired file system and formatting options, make sure that you did everything right and click "ready"
2. Compression section
Say... a window message appears about the request for compression, we are waiting until the end of the survey. Then in the appeared window in the line "Size of the compressible space" specify the amount of free space and click "compress"
3. Expansion of the section
Right-click on the desired section → Extend... A "Tom Expansion Wizard" window appears, click the "Next" button. Then select the desired free section in the list, click "Add", then specify the size of the free space allocated by the section, click the "Next" button, check the information and click "Ready"
4. Delete partition
Right-click on the desired section → Remove Tom... Before you continue the operation, copy all the necessary files and folders to another disk, because After removing the volume, all the data on it will be lost.
5. Change the letter of the disc
Right-click on the desired section → Change the letter of the disk or the path to the disk... Click the Edit button, select the desired drive letter and click OK. Next, we will consider in detail how to expand the discs and do not harm the nano information.

In order to share hDD On the sections, you need to go to the "Start" menu → Right-click on "Computer" and click on Management.

In the window that appears, you need to go to the "Disk Management" section.

Select the hard disk and the partition to be divided and click on it with the right mouse button.

In the drop-down menu you need to select "Squeeze Tom" and then select the size to which it is necessary to reduce the existing partition. The place liberated after compression and will be a new hard disk section.

To create a new partition, you need to click on the right mouse button and select "Create TOM". Then to specify the size of the new partition and wait for the operation. Sooner or later, any computer user faces such a problem as a lack of free space on the system section of the hard drive. Here and the question arises: How to expand the disk with?

First, we need to go to the "Computer Management" tab (see above).
When this tab opens, you will see all media in the window that are connected now to the computer. Each hard disk can be broken into several logical. The very first will go "Disc 0". On the right will be displayed space reserved by the system, and logical partitions (C, D, E, F, etc.). If you have only one disk C and it is overflowing, then you can "compress Tom" (see above). If you have several logical partitions, then go further.

The principle of disc division.

The principle of actions is: we must expand the disk with due to the neighboring logical partition. It can be a D, E drive, and so on. In the same way, you can increase not only section C, but also others if you have such a need. So, we remove the adjacent disk, for example, D. Click on it with the right mouse button and select the "Delete Tom" option. Click OK. Immediately after that given volume Must be displayed in black. It should appear the inscription "volume is not distributed." Now you can add the space to the C drive you need to add to this by clicking the right mouse button on the C and select "Expand Tom". Click "Next" and choose the size that we want to add.
You can use the maximum size, as will be offered by default, or select at your discretion. Click "Next" and then "Done". If no additional windows have jumped out, the operation has passed successfully. You learned how to expand the disk with Windows 7. The main thing is that you need to remember is that the system section can be increased only if you have free space on the right. Otherwise, nothing will happen.

Possible difficulties.

What else may be difficulties? Suppose we have five volumes. We want them to configure them in such a way that part of the space add to the disk with, and the other - to the disk D. When you delete one of the sections, we may not be active to "Delete Tom" function, and the "Expand Tom" function is not available
The thing is that the style of section can be used. MBR *. This is an outdated style. At the same time, two neighboring volumes can be bound by a green frame. This means that with the style of the MBR section, more than four volumes cannot be created.

Windows 8 provides the same tools to increase space. Therefore, this method also applies on this operating system.

Wrecked hard disk to sections in the Windows 7 operating system is a very simple thing. You yourself can make sure that if you break down and create a new partition according to the described algorithm.

* MBR (Master Boot Record) Home Downloads in PC - Table in the first sector boot diskStoreing data on the physical and logical organization of the disk. If this record is spoiled, the OS load becomes impossible.

That's all. Thank you for reading an article. I hope she was helpful to you.

The volume of existing main partitions and logical disks can be reduced by the free space adjacent to them on the same disk. For example, if there is a need for an additional section, but there is no additional disks, you can compress the existing partition from the end of the volume to create a unredened space that can be used for a new partition. Compression operation can be blocked by the presence of files of a specific type (for more information, see the subsection "What should also be considered").

When compressing the partition all simple files Automatically move to another disk area to free up additional space. No need for disk formatting for compression section.

Note: If the section is an unformatted partition (that is, without any file system) containing data (for example, a database file), the section compression may result in data destruction

Start - click right key A computer - choose Control. Choose item Say

Follow the instructions. It is desirable to leave the size of the main partition at least 40 GB. After compression, a new unallocated section will appear, which will need to format.

Note: You can compress only the basic volumes that have no file system or have a file system. NTFS

What should also be considered

• When compressing a section, some files (for example, a paging file or storage area shadow copies) Can not be moved automatically, limiting the decrease in the partition section in which the unreleased files are located. If the compression operation ends with an error, check the event 259 in the application log, which indicates an inconsistent file. If clusters or cluster are known associated with the file that interferes with the compression operation can also be entered into command line Team fsutil. (Enter fSUTIL VOLUME QUERYCLUSTER /?to view the syntax). When specifying the parameter querycluster. The result of the command indicates an inconsistent file that interferes with the compression operation.

  In some cases, you can temporarily move this file. For example, if a moving file is a paging file, you can use the control panel to move it to another disk, compress the volume, and then move the paging file back.

• It is impossible to squeeze the section if the damaged clusters are detected with a dynamic reassignment of damaged clusters. If this happens, you should move the data and replace the disk. Do not use the blocking at the block level to transfer data. This will lead to the fact that the table of damaged sectors will be copied and the new disk will process the sectors as damaged, despite the fact that they are working.
• You can compress the main partitions and logic disks on sections that do not have any file system, or on sections with the file system NTFS.

Increase the main section

The logical disk is expanding due to the adjacent free space on the same additional section in which it is contained. If there is not enough in the section free space for expansion logical disk, The partition size increases so to accommodate a logical disk.

For logical disks, boot or system volumes, it is possible to extend the volume only by the adjacent disk space and only if the disk can be converted to dynamic. For other volumes, there is a possibility of expanding due to non-disk space, however, with the condition that the disk will be transformed into dynamic.

Open the disk management environment: Start - click right key A computer - choose Control. Select the item, right-click on the main section and Extend. Follow the instructions.

After purchasing a computer or installing a new hard disk, you usually have only 1 partition on it. Talk about this today and talk: how to divide the hard drive on 2 or more of the section. This example will be shown on Windows 7 using the operating system without establishing additional software.

How many sections should be:

For correct windows work 7 is enough 1 section "Disc C". It is installed on it and no longer need anything. It has all the necessary folders. But, in terms of convenience and its own security, at least 2 sections are recommended, this is the "C" disc and disk. Why 2? Everything is simple! The C disc is desirable to leave only for Windows and programs, and disk D use for games, music, movies, photos, etc. Thus, in case of failure and reinstalling Windows all important information Not suffer.

How to split the C disk into multiple disks

In order to break the disk to the partitions, open: Start Menu, Control Panel. Next, we will have to work with the "System and Security" tab.

All, we came to where you need and before you should be like this window:

To see which sections already installed, open "Disk Management". The operating system is usually located on the disk "C", so you need to be careful when working with it.

To split the "C" disk to the partitions, click on it with the right mouse button and select "SHAT TOM".

In a new window, which opens, enter the desired size of the new section:

Now click "Create". In the window that opens, enter, what volume do you want.

In a new window, on a not marked area, right-click and select "Create a simple Tom" as below:

Ready. You can proceed to work, but it is advisable to restart the computer.

Hard breakdown is the process of separating the 1st disk into several logical disks. In this record, we will analyze popular programs for breaking.

The Windows Operation 7 is equipped with a built-in disk breaking utility. To run it run along the path: Start - Control Panel - - Administration - Computer Management. - Disk Management.

By running the disk management utility, you will access all the necessary functions. For existing disks, you can execute: delete, formatting, changing the beak, compression, and disk removal. If a new tower is connected to the PC without marking, you can run a disk breakdown.

If the capabilities of the built-in utility for breaking the disk you can not allow you to use third-party programs.
