| 357653 | 2005-05-23 03:36:00 | Dear fellows, now I have that new computer with a 100 GB drive. The OS is already installed and with some software installed in a 20 GB partition. There is a (still) empty D partition. I used to partition in the past in 20-40 GB lots, but have mixed feelings about it. For sure, defragmenting is faster and more efficient, but on the other hand, sometimes applications ovverran the boundaries of the partition and that was a pain. Furthermore, I do not have that partition software anymore, so probably would have to buy it again. Or is there a freebie doing the partition of that D drive? What do the specialists feel about it. BTW plan to do some video editing on this machine and processing of digital photos. It would probably make sense to partition for these datasets, right? Cheers Johan |

| 357655 | 2005-05-23 04:53:00 | You can partition it from XPs disk management. But I agree, I wouldn't bother either. | pctek (84) | ||
| 357656 | 2005-05-23 05:59:00 | Ah, but thats destructive partitioning, you'd lose your data :( You're better off downloading the Sys Recue CD: http://www.sysresccd.org/ |

| 357657 | 2005-05-23 06:07:00 | Ah, but thats destructive partitioning, you'd lose your data The is true but hotkiwi said the partition is empty. If that is the case Windows Disk Management can partition it easily. hotkiwi: If you are planning to do video editing it would pay to keep the partition size/s rather large so that you don't run out of room during the editing. Also remember that partitions over 32GB need to be formatted in NTFS if you do decide to chop it up a bit. |

| 357658 | 2005-05-23 06:09:00 | Thanks guys. Yes I found out that with XP windows disk management I can format it. It will work because the D drive is empty. But given the fact that I may have rather large files editing I will not bother. Cheers Johan |
