Hi, My daughter has an Acer laptop which has 2 partitions Volume 0 C ACER FAT32 Partition 17 GB healthy System Volume 1 D ACERDATA FAT32 Partition 17 GB Healthy on disk managment it states Capacity (C) 16.99 GB Free space 6.93 GB Free Space 40% Capacity (D) 17.37 GB Free space 8.80 GB Free Space 50% My question is this How do I increase one disk, shouldn't one disk be larger than the other? The cdrom is not attached as this is broken she wants to add a new one The laptop is running really slowly we do the clean ups etc. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Robin
easily with GParted just download it as say a CD image (*.iso) and burn it to CD / DVD & boot from that CD not necessarily but they both should be NTFS, i think there may be an NTFS converter on your OS CD any CD / DVD drive that physically fits will do that the downfall of using Windows, that's another reason why i use Linux, about all you can do is format and reinstall onto NTFS BTW: why do you want to change the size of the partitions ? it's actually a very good idea to store your or your daughters files on a separate partition, then you can format & reinstall the OS while knowing your /her files are untouched no problem, that's why were here
Thank you I think I understand, I just thought you should have 2 partitions one having the operating system on and the rest for everything else I need to now go and find a cd to attached and do as you suggested. I'm sure she just wants a new laptop !!! Thanks again Robin
it is better to have 2 or more partitions (personally i use Linux most of the time & it is using 4 partitions) can you boot a USB pen ? (USB drive) if so just download for USB & follow online instructions kids :doh: Edit:
