How diskgenius builds partitions

Before you create a partition, first determine the partition example you are about to create. There are three partitioning examples, which are “primary partition”, “extended partition” and “logical partition”. The primary partition is the partition that is created directly on the hard disk and is usually used to place and start the operating system. Due to the limitation of the partition table, a maximum of four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and one extended partition can be created on one hard disk; an extended partition is a special primary partition dedicated to including logical partitions. How many logical partitions can be created within an extended partition; a logical partition is a partition created inside an extended partition. There is no limit to the number.

First, create a new partition in the free area of ​​the disk

If you want to establish a primary partition or extended partition, first select the free area to be partitioned on the hard disk partition structure map (shown in gray) ). If you want to create a logical partition, first select the free area in the extended partition (shown in green). Then click the toolbar "New Partition" button, or select the "Partition - Create New Partition" menu item, or right click on the free area, and then select "Create new partition" from the pop-up menu. ;Menu Item. The program will pop up the “Create Partition” dialog box. As shown below:

Select the partition type, file system type, input partition size and click “OK" to create a partition.
For some hard disks with large physical sectors, such as 4KB physical sector Western Digital "Advanced Format" hard disk, its partition should be aligned to an integer multiple of the number of physical sectors, otherwise read and write efficiency Will fall. At this point, you should check “ align to the integer multiple of the following number of sectors & rdquo; and select the number of sectors to be aligned.
If you need to set more parameters of the new partition, click the “detail parameters” button to expand the dialog box for detailed parameter settings. FIG follows:

for GUID partition table format, may be provided more properties of the new partition. After setting the parameters, click “OK" to create a partition with the specified parameters.
After the new partition is created, it will not be saved to the hard disk immediately, only in memory. Execute the “Save Partition Table” command to see the new partition in “My Computer”
”. The purpose of this is to prevent data corruption caused by misuse. To use the new partition, you also need to format the partition table after saving it.

Second, create a new partition on the already established partition

Sometimes, we need to divide a new partition from the already established partition. It is also easy to implement using DiskGenius software. Features.

Select the need to create a new partition of the partition, click the right mouse button and select & ldquo; to create a new partition & rdquo; menu item, as shown below:

In the pop-up & ldquo; & rdquo partition size adjustment In the dialog box, set the parameters such as the location and size of the new partition, and then click the “Start” button. All operations are non-destructive to the same partition size adjustment, as shown below:
