CREATING A NEW PARTITION TO DETACH OPERATING SYSTEM FROM THE REST OF DATA

Let’s assume that you’re a rank and file user who is most likely to have only one hard disk with only one partition

(the only partition is always system). To secure yourself against a system malfunction or a virus attack you’ve

got nothing to do, but make a backup of the whole partition, which besides the operating system itself

contains all your family photos, favorite films and music, program distributives, whatever. As a result you’ll get a

very huge backup image. You can easily tackle this issue however by detaching your operating system from

the rest of data.

To create a new partition on your hard disk, please do the following:

1. Click Switch to Full Scale Launcher in the Express Launcher.

2. Click the Express Create Partition item of the Wizards menu (any of the ways described earlier can also

be used here).

3. On the Wizard's Welcome page, click the Next button.

4. Choose a method you find the most suitable to create the partition. The wizard is especially designed to

minimize your participation in finding an appropriate place for it and its resulted size. The only thing

you’re to do is to choose between several modes. The most relevant thing here is the amount of space

that will be allocated for that partition. For easy perception, you can see the resulted disk layout on the

disk map by selecting this or that mode.
