Reallocating memory on a computer means creating hard disk volumes, each of which will be recognized by the system as an autonomous unit of physical memory.

Step 1
Partition the hard drive when installing the operating system. At the stage of choosing a disk for installation, create a special partition for the operating system. In the future, this will significantly reduce your time for copying information to removable media during reinstallation. All files will be stored separately and in the future you only need to format one section.
Step 2
Install the operating system to the created partition. Give it a size, taking into account the fact that the system files on it will increase in number, also do not forget about the drivers that are installed after the operating system.
Step 3
Please note that different operating systems require completely different amounts of free disk space. For XP it is best to create a partition of 10-15 GB, for Vista - 30, for the Windows Seven operating system - about 40-50. Do not manipulate the unallocated area yet.
Step 4
After installing the operating system, install the driver on the motherboard and only then proceed to format the unallocated area. If necessary, create additional partitions on the disk. This can be done in the "Administration" menu item on the computer control panel, as well as by downloading special programs, for example, Acronis or Partition Majic.
Step 5
Format the created partitions, it is best to choose the NTFS file system for them. It is desirable that all partitions of one hard disk have one file system, this will provide the highest performance when copying from one partition to another. It is best to initially set a disk volume label, because changing it in the future can affect the operation of the entire computer, since the address where the installation files are located is registered in the system.
