Hard Disk Management What appears in My Computer to be a hard disk drive might or might not correlate to a single physical device A single physical device can be subdivided into partitions, volumes, or logical drives—each appearing in My Computer as a separate drive letter Conversely, you can combine storage space from several physical devices so that it appears as a single drive letter Definition of a Disk A disk (or hard disk) A physical disk drive installed in your computer Disk 0, Disk 1, Disk 2, etc. Basic Disk and Partitions A partition is a portion of a physical disk that functions as if it were itself a physically separate disk A primary partition is one that can be used for starting Windows (and other operating systems) A primary partition cannot be further subdivided An extended partition can be further divided into one or more logical drives, each of which can be formatted separately and assigned its own drive letter When a partition or logical drive is formatted and assigned a drive letter it’s called a volume A volume appears in My Computer as a local disk Basic disks contain only basic volumes Primary partitions, extended partitions, or logical drives Dynamic Disk and Volumes Simple, spanned, or striped, with these last two types combining space from multiple dynamic disks Home Edition and Portable Computers If you use Windows XP Home Edition, or if you’re running Windows XP Professional on a portable computer, you cannot create or use dynamic disks Starting Disk Management At any command prompt, enter diskmgmt.msc, or And then select Disk Management on the left side of the Computer Management window Disk Management Lets You Check the size, file system, status, and other properties of disks and volumes Create or delete partitions, logical drives, and volumes Format volumes Assign drive letters to hard disk volumes, removable disk drives, and CD-ROM drives Create mounted drives (also called mount points) Convert basic disks to dynamic disks Create spanned volumes and striped volumes Extend volumes to increase the size of a drive Using free space from the same disk or another disk in the same system Two New Command-Line Tools Fsutil File system utility Allows you to find files by security identifier (SID), change the short name of a file, and perform other esoteric tasks Diskpart These command-line tools are intended primarily to be incorporated into scripts rather than for interactive use Active Partition The active partition on a basic disk is the one from which an x86-based computer boots The Master Boot Record on the physical disk containing the active partition is used to begin startup If you use Windows XP exclusively, or any combination of Windows XP and Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows 95/98/Me, or MS-DOS, you do not have to change the active partition System and Boot Partitions The system partition Contains the bootstrap files that Windows XP uses to start your system and display the boot menu Usually the first primary partition on Disk 0, usually drive C The boot partition The partition where the Windows system files are located Active, System, and Boot Partitions
