I want to discuss the advanced system recovery with you in this article. I call it Advanced system recovery because it’s different from Microsoft system restore.

PS: Formatting your system wipe away all files and partition on the hard drive including your Operating System (OS). It is imperative for you after formatting to install an OS. Otherwise, your system won’t have any environment to boot.

Easy Method to Create and Format Hard Drive Partition without any Software.

Let’s say you partitioned a room, what does it mean? It means you separate one part of the room from another by a means of a wall or walls. You just created another room(s) from one large room, resulting in more than one room after being partitioned.

Now, if I should ask what partition means, every one of you will have a good point to contribute.

What is Hard Disk Partitioning?

From the above illustration, you can simply  say that Hard Disk Partitioning is the act of dividing a Hard Disk into multiple logical storage units referred to as Partition. It means to treat one physical disk as if it were multiple disks, so that different each disk can serve different purpose.

Well, at first, Partitioning doesn’t sound interesting to me, you know, just say Partition and I’m off to something else. In fact, the more I know about partition, the more it get complex and the more I get pissed off, not until I know its importance.

Importance of Partitioning

How safe it is, according to the saying, if you “…put all your eggs into a basket”? An accident might just occur and…the rest is to feel sorry looking at all the eggs in a trash can. You, all eggs couldn’t have be crushed like if not all is in the same basket. Now you should be getting my point.

The same thing goes to your hard drive. If you think you hard drive is durable, then you don’t know how your hard drive works. It might just corrupt without giving you leave-on-notice.

However, you can reduce the risk of data loss by partitioning your computer’s hard drive. You can turn your computer to a more secured environment for your most important files and folder with a combination between partitioning your computer and syncing your files through an online storage service.

The main advantage is that you can access each partition as a separate hard drive on your computer. You can also install different Operating System on each each partition.

It seems I’m talking too much? Alright, let’s get down to business.

How to partition your hard drive

See, there a various software on the market that you can use to partition your hard drive, but in this tutorial, we are using no software other than  the Windows built – in Disk Management.

• The first step is to open the Disk Management window from your control panel (Quick access, Press Windows key + X and select Disk Management from the listed menus).

• A new window listing all available partition will be opened to you. Right click on the largest partition and select Shrink Volume. The available space in your hard drive will determine how many more partitions you can make from it. It implies that a low free space will have few or no partition to make from it at all.

• In the Shrink Volume window, enter the amount of space to be shrink in MB, at least 20gb. Then, click on the shrink button. A new unallocated space will be created.
• Right click on the Unallocated space and click on New Volume. In the New Simple Volume wizard, enter the size of the partition you wanted to create in MB (at least 20gb). Then Next the window.
• In the following windows, you can alter the drive letter, its format and its name to your own suit. Better leave the format as it is. To change the name of the partition, replace the NEW VOLUME text with your desired name, then click on next afterward, click on Finish.

• Your newly created Partition should appear in the list of the available partition. After the Partition is auto formatted, it’s now ready for use.

You can use it as a backup drive, or install another operating system on it. If you would install another operating system on the partition, then 20gb will be too small for you. 40gb or more is advisable.
