Adding Partitions Hard drive
Manufacture
multiple partitions on the hard disk are the things that we encountered on the
computer. Computer users have a goal each in creating a partition on the hard
disk. The most common is that they want to separate the media to store the
operating system and data on a computer hard drive and only split into two
partitions that drives C and D. There also create partitions up to more than 2
partitions. This was done because users split between the operating system and
some types of data they store on the computer. So that the disk partition can
be up to 4 or 5 partitions. This was done because the hard drive capacity is
very large and it is possible to separate the types of data such as pictures,
videos, music, documents and so on.
There
are also users who want to have two operating systems on their computers. Such
as Windows and Linux operating systems that can be mounted side by side in a
single computer. So that the computer can boot through two operating systems in
turn. It also requires minimal disk partitioning into 3 drives. Drive C to
store the Windows operating system, drive D to store data and drive E to store
the Linux operating system.
But if increasing disk partition can be done without having to reinstall the computer? The answer is: definitely. We can form a new partition on an existing hard drive partition without having to go through the process installed on our computer. On the Windows operating system provided the facility to increase or establish a new partition on the hard disk. If the current hard drive on your computer has two partitions, then you can add 1 or 2 partitions again. In this article I will share how to increase or establish a new partition on the hard disk by following these steps:

In this article I will share how to increase or establish a new partition on the hard disk by following these steps:
Open
Windows Explorer, it will show the amount of your hard disk partitions. In this
article I have three disk partition. Then
right click on "Computer" and click "Manage".
It will show the Computer Management window.Then click on "Disk Management" it will show the partition that has formed on the hard disk.
In
the image above there are 3 hard disk partition, drive C, D and E. It may have
you just drive C and D, no problem. Then right-click on the D drive and then
click "Shrink Volume".
It
will show a window to determine the capacity of the new partition will be
created. Please specify the size of the partition capacity. You can determine
half of the available capacity.
Then
will form a new partition with unallocated status. It means that the partition
is not active and can not be used.
And
to activate the right-click on the partition. Then click "New Simple
Volume".
It
will show the following window:
Click
"Next" to continue, it will show the following picture:
Make
sure if the capacity of the partition are correct and will not be changed again
then click "Next".
Decide
also for the drive to be used on the new partition.
Decide
also to the type of partition that will be used on the new disk partition. For
Windows operating systems we use NTFS. Then click "Next" to continue.
Click
"Finish" to finish creating a new partition on the hard disk. Then
you can see the results as follows:
Good Luck...!!!
