Partitioning a hard disk is an objective necessity

Very often, users store all the information strictly on one hard drive. There everything is established that can only be imagined - from the operating system itself, special programs to instant messengers and games. All this, of course, litter free space, and very quickly it becomes impossible to navigate in where the necessary information is, where the system information is, and what of this is absolutely forbidden to touch. To avoid this, you need to split the hard drive.

This is a special procedure that allows you to split one physical disk into several logical ones. Thus, you can order the stored information without increasing the amount of equipment, making access to it more convenient. Separation of the hard drive can easily be done without recourse to specialists, and without losing data.

In order to properly produce this process, you need to approach it wisely. From the theoretical point of view, the program for dividing the hard disk of Windows 7 is already in the system from the very beginning. You can find it by clicking the right button on the "My Computer" icon, going there to the "Computer Management" tab and clicking on "Manage hard disks". But in spite of the fact that this possibility is inherent in the system, where it is safer to resort to the help of third-party manufacturers. From the advantages of this method, it can be noted that the use of this function does not require any knowledge, since the creators of the application provided a minimal set of active functions, so that the user, even if he really wants, would not be able to cause irreparable harm to the system.

Acronis Disc Director Suite is a program for partitioning a hard disk, featuring a convenient, intuitive interface and extensive functionality. With its help you can not only partition the disk into several volumes, but also format it if necessary. This utility is distributed under a paid license, but you can do everything you need by using the built-in trial period.

Splitting a hard disk using this application will save all available data. The process of partitioning into logical volumes will occur using a reboot. After the program makes all the necessary changes when the system is on, it will restart. During the boot process, the hard disk partitioning will be initialized, and within half an hour (the speed depends on the volume and year of the device release), the disk will be partitioned into a specified number of volumes, which can be used immediately.

There is also another application that can do the same job. This is Partition Magic, distributed under a free license. In order to use it, you do not have to pay a lot of money or keep it in the period of free use. The main disadvantage of this program is the lack of an intuitive interface and the need to very often resort to the command line. Maybe this also brings back nostalgic memories to all who managed to catch DOS times, but the rest of the users can not be ready for such an appearance of the application.
