Does anybody know if a lap top's hard drive is unsplitable?

Question

You see I was trying to split it into 2 partitions, one for the OS and the other for the crap that I wanted but as I tried to do so with Partition Magic 8 the option of split partition was unavailable.

Answer 1

Definitely. You can do so easily.

Perhaps you need to reinstall the OS and partition it then.

Sometime it won't allow it because of space restraints.

Answer 2

Google "Partition a Hard Drive" - there is no difference between a laptop and desktop hard drive with the exception of physical size - a laptop HDD is typically 2.5" while a desktop HDD is typically 3.5".

Answer 3

You can create two partition using PM8. But first you gotta reduce the size on your C: drive (windows drive). And allow some empty space for another drive. e.g 10GB. Then when you have reduced your C: drive size. Go to "create partition" (primary) for your D: or E: drive.

Answer 4

No - not somewhat. in case you advise putting project onto thechronic, like including software, music, image's etc...there isn't any reduce. the purely reduce you've is 160GB or more suitable useful yet - once you bypass to my laptop you'll see your hardchronic - it ought to have entire length is 160GB and unused area (the quantity of room that you've left to positioned project onto your hard drive). The UNUSED area is the optimal ability.
