Necessary
PC, Windows Disk
Instructions
Step 1
In Vista, you need to open the hard disk management menu - "Start | Control Panel | System and Service | Creating and Formatting Hard Disk Partitions ". On the "seven" the path looks about the same itself, with only minor differences. In addition, in any of these systems, you can go to the "Start" menu by right-clicking on "Computer", select "Control" in the context menu.
Step 2
In the window that has opened, you need to click on the left in the menu on the line "Disk Management". Now you need to find a large partition where Windows is installed, you need to right-click on it and select "Shrink Volume". Thus, we free up space for the section that needs to be created. Its size must be at least 3 GB. When compressing the source volume, enter the required value in the wizard window - at least "3000".
Step 3
After that, an unallocated area should appear on the disk. Click on it with the right key and select the item "Create simple volume".
Step 4
Then follow the wizard's prompts without changing anything in the settings. At the end Windows will format the partition and give it a letter. Now you can close the disk management program and copy the contents of the installation disk to the new partition.
Step 5
Now you need to make the new section active. You need to type the key in the command line with administrator rights: e: cd ootbootsect / nt60 e:
"E:" refers to the letter that Windows gave to the new partition.
Step 6
If your Windows stops starting after a while, you can easily get your machine back up and running thanks to a backup of your operating system. First you need to install a utility called EasyBCD from DVD attached to this CHIP number. After starting the structure, you need to select "Add new entry", and in the form of the desired disk ("Drive") you need to set the created partition and give it a name, for example, "Recovery". Then you need to press the "Add entry" button and exit the program. After restarting the computer, a new entry will be visible in the download manager.
Step 7
Finally, you can remove the ad-littered section that was created by the PC manufacturer. This will require the GParted utility. Removing the partition created by the manufacturer is performed through the “Partition | Delete . An empty space of about 8 GB will appear. Thanks to the “Partition | Resize / move”you can enlarge the Windows partition. Finally, close the application.
