How to partition with DiskGenius?

Disk Genius has a lot of functions such as partitioning, backing up and restoring hard disk partition table, rewriting master boot record, formatting hard disk, repairing corrupted partition table, etc. Partitioning is its main function. (Note: There is no way to see the picture invisible, but you are about to learn how to partition with Disk Genius from the description .) If you have more than one hard disk in your computer, select the hard disk you want to partition from the "Hard Disk" menu.

Figure 1 2. Create a primary partition For a new hard disk or an unpartitioned hard disk, the first thing you need to do is to create at least one primary partition, such as DOS, Windows 9x and other operating systems, the boot sector must be created in the first partition of the hard disk, so the first thing you need to do is to create a DOS primary partition. Select the gray area of the bar graph (no partition before the gray), in Figure 1. open the "Partition New Partition" menu, enter the size of the partition in the pop-up dialog box, press "OK". Pop-up dialog box "to create a DOS FAT partition?" dialog box, if not, click on the button. dialog box, if not, click "No". After selecting "No", in the figure below the list of commonly used hard disk partition format types, fill in the system flag in the corresponding type of code. If you want to install Windows 98 operating system on the C drive, the partition format is FAT32, so fill in the system flag "0b"; if you want to install Windows XP, the partition format is NTFS, then add the system flag "07 If you want to install Windows XP, the partition format is NTFS, then add "07" to the system flag. Selected, press "OK" to complete. If you need to install more than one operating system, you can build a few more primary partitions in the same way. 3, the establishment of an extended partition after the establishment of the main partition, click the gray area on the left with the mouse, press the "F5" key, in the partition size dialog box, enter the capacity of the extended partition, here all the remaining space as an extended partition, press "OK" to complete the extended partition! The extended partition will be in green color. 4, the establishment of logical partitions extended partition built, and then in the extended partition on the establishment of logical partitions that is, D, E, F area. Use the mouse to click on the left side of the hard disk structure of the green area, the rest of the steps with the establishment of the main partition of the same.

Figure 2 5, delete the partition If in the process of partitioning, feel the partition is not reasonable, you can delete the partition, and then rebuild the partition. Specific operation: select the partition to be deleted, press the "F6" key. 6, activate the main partition To make a partition to become a system boot partition, you must first activate the partition. Use the mouse to click on the partition to be activated, and then press the "F7" key on the keyboard, the system name of this partition becomes red. In this way, the partitioning of a hard disk is completed. Disk Genius is a software that runs under pure DOS, and in order to operate it with a mouse, you have to load the mouse driver. Here to tell you a "side way" method, from the "driver home" on the download of an IBM hard disk tools (I use the IBM hard disk) software, from which the Mouse.com file decompression. Before running Disk Genius, run the file Mouse.com, you can use the mouse under DOS. Run diskgen.exe as in Figure 2. This is a well-partitioned hard disk that displays the hard disk partitions graphically on the screen. The bar graph on the left shows the location and size of the partitions, as well as the status of the unpartitioned (free) space. The partition at the bottom is the first partition and is located at the very top of the hard disk. Partitions without a grid in the bar graph are primary partitions (e.g., C ), and partitions with a grid are logical partitions (e.g., D, E, F). The right side of the screen shows the types of partitions and their specific parameters in a table. Between the bar graph and the parameter table, there is a dynamic link indicating the correspondence between them. You can select a partition by clicking on it with the mouse in the bar graph or in the table, or you can use the cursor movement keys on the keyboard to select the current partition. Use the "Tab" or "Shift-Tab" keys to select between the bar graph and the table. When you select a FAT or FAT32 partition, some information about this partition will be displayed in the lower window of the table. You can also select a free space in the same way. In order to prevent mistakes, the simple operations you perform on the partition table (including creating, deleting, hiding, activating, etc.) are not immediately saved to disk, but only modified in memory, and then written to the hard disk in one go after you have finished modifying and confirming that there is no mistake by pressing the "F8" key.
