From: Scott on 7 Feb 2010 08:31 I have two partitions for 2 OS. One of partition is for Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. I would like to create a D drive in this partition to store data only. Currently software and data are stored on drive C. Do I need additional software to create D drive or there is built-in utility to accomplish it. Thanks, Scott

From: Carlos on 7 Feb 2010 10:11 Scott, Windows 7 has a built-in utility. Run diskmgmt.msc and you'll be there in a split second. What you want to do is to shrink C: partition and then create a new D: in the empty space. Right click on on your C: partition (graphic on the right) and choose "Shrink". Follow the instructions from there on. You may want to defrag C: first in order to leave enough space for the shrinking. "Scott" wrote: > I have two partitions for 2 OS.

If you are going to use the partition (drive) to share data between the two operating systems, be sure to select a format they all like. Good Luck

For some odd reason, when I tried using FAT32 for the job, Linux didn't recognize it. Oh, well. |
