Hi
friends You all know that windows 8 come with single partition due to which it
creates some problems and you all know that there is not any other solution
other then Formatting your windows with your data But Today in this Trick I will
tell you solution How to make a partition on your computer/laptops without
Formatting. It’s not complicated process, so you could Do it in just few simple
and easy steps & I’m pretty much sure you will be able to do it.
Even the
windows 7/XP user’s can also do it. It’s very useful trick.
So lets
Start ,
Step 1 -
Go to the ‘computer’. Right-click on it & click on ‘manage’.
Note:
If you do not have ‘administrative rights’ or your account is limited. If so,
then you will not be able to make a partition. So make sure that you have
‘administrative rights’
If you
find a window popping up asking for ‘YES’ or ‘NO’. Click on ‘YES’.
Step 2 -
The ‘Computer Management’ window will open. In there, you will find ‘Storage’.
Under that you will be able to see ‘Disk Management’ thus click on it.
Step 3 -
So when the ‘Disk Management’ window opens you will see there is 1 drive i.e.
C-drive or another one before the C-drive called ‘system reserved’. DO NOT do
anything on the ‘system reserved drive’.
OK! Now
you could either create partition on ‘C-drive’ or if any other drive available.
You can do this to any drive you want. Of course, depending on the space
availability. I am using C-drive to demonstrate.
Step 4 -
Right-click on the drive you want to create partition, in my case it is
C-drive. A pop-up should come up, click on ‘Shrink Volume’.
Note:
If you have a big hard-drive, it would take longer time. For instance, if your
hard-drive is 1TB it can take up to 20 minutes. In case, it says ‘NOT
RESPONDING’ don’t worry. Just be patient as it will respond.
Step – 5
Once the loading is done, a window should pop up. In here you can allocate what
size your new drive will be. This completely depends on you. Under ‘Enter the
amount of space to shrink’ you have to allocate the size.
Note:
The allocation of size should be done in ‘Megabytes’ only. For instance,if you
want to put 100 Gb, you could write it as 102400 = 100 Gb.(1GB=1024MB Means
1024*partition size you want)
Then
click on shrink.
Note:
This will take time depending on what size you have allocated.
Step 6 -
Once it is done, you will find a new slot. Usually it is placed after the drive
that you partitioned. The partition drive will show a ‘black bar’. Right-click
on the drive with the black bar, a window should pop-up. Just follow the
procedure. Keep clicking ‘NEXT’ until you find the bit where it says ‘Assign
the following drive letter’. You could just leave it as it is or give any
letter you want and then click 'Next'. On the next window just name the volume
and make sure ‘perform a quick format’ box is checked. If you un-check it, then
the procedure would be very long and leave the other bits as it is. After
checking everything and then click 'Next' & then 'Finish'.
Wait for
a bit and your new drive will be created. So close everything up and go to my
computer & you should see your new drive ready for you to use
IT’S DONE
ENJOY FRIENDS
