Creating Partition in Laptop

ibmWell, as I’ve recently bought new laptop with 500 GB hard disk. So, first thing that came to my mind is managing my important data, which can be done by creating partitions. Partitioning comes with many advantages, like-

  • Disk Partitioning can be used to group one type of data together; like music, movies, soft wares, downloads, documents, etc.
  • In case of virus attacks, there are less chances of data getting infected if they are in different partition.
  • In case of data recovery requirement, the whole C drive is formatted. So, if important data is kept in some other drive, we can safely opt for data recovery. 

Most of laptop nowadays are coming with preinstalled Windows Vista, or Windows XP. So, I found two methods for creating partitions in Windows OS, by two ways. One of these do not require any software installation, and other requires Acronis Disk Director Suite.

Partitioning without any software

Follow these steps to create partitions in Windows OS, without need of any software installations-

  • Run Dailog Press Windows Key + R , and write diskmgmt.msc and press Ok
  • Disk management window, showing your current partition table will be shown
  • Select the disk you want to resize, by right clicking it and selecting Shrink Volume option
  • Then specify the size to be shrunken out and press Ok to apply
    Shrink Volume
  • This will create a raw free disk space of the size specified
  • New right click the free raw disk space to create a new partition out of it
  • And, you are done with creating new partitions…

Partitioning with Acronis Software

Sometimes, you might get an error that partition can not be shrunk, because of reserved disk space for Windows OS drive. In that case you need to use some software. In my case I’ve used Acronis Disk Director, which is very easy to use software. It creates partitions very easily without any problems.This software package comes with Partition manager, OS selector and Recovery expert.

    It sounds great that in case of data recovery requirement, the whole C drive is formatted. So, if important data is kept in some other drive, we can safely opt for data recovery.

There’s No Way: “How To See Who Viewed Your Profile” Beware!

You get a event invite on facebook that claims at telling you a way out for seeing who all viewed your profile. The topic is tempting, after all who wouldn’t like to count the number of boys/girls visiting her/his profile. May be that guy is your ex-boyfriend or even your old boss who’s still stalking you for what you have been doing. Recently Mark Zuckerberg’s facebook profile was hacked, and now this. Most of you might have already got such an invitation from one or many of your facebook friends. But the truth behind, there’s no such method. Facebook   does not provides any code for the purpose and hence claiming to have developed such an app is certainly a SCAM. This can be verified from the facebook FAQs section These applications pick random people and numbers from your facebook friend list when you run the scripts and claim as if the data they are providing is based on certain analysis which is as fake as their developers are. Some of these even ask you to complete hef...
