We will partition your hard drives however you want. Upon receiving your order, we will review the hardware and operating choices in your system and make a recommendation for your approval or modification. If you let us know how you intend to use your new LAC system in your response to our initial configuration approval request (sent by e-mail), we will work with you to determine an optimal partition scheme.

We always use the Linux program fdisk or sfdisk to partition a new hard drive - even for making DOS FAT32 partitions or HPFS/NTFS partitions. The scheme we use depends entirely upon how large the hard drive is, what OS(s) we are installing, how you intend to use the machine, and of course your preferences. After reviewing the hardware in your order, we will make a recommendation allowing for smooth upgrades in the future (keeping your personal files and non-OS software in place).

It is best to have your OS on a separate partition than the rest of your data. This results in less fragmentation and ensures speedy operation of your system. If your hard drive is large enough, then partitioning is probably a good idea for you. Common practice is to have at least three partitions: one ~8GB for the OS, one ~10GB for Documents and other personal files, and whatever is left for programs.

The most likely reason is that you are running MS-DOS or the original version of Windows 95. Newer versions of Windows allow FAT32 partitions, which can be any size and are generally more efficient at storing information as well. See previous question about determining Windows version. To use any drive > 2GB as a single partition, you should upgrade to a newer version of Windows.

Your computer has a disk larger than 512 MB. This version of Windows includes improved support for large disks, resulting in more efficient use of disk space on large drives, and allowing disks over 2 GB to be formatted as a single drive.

In this case, utility programs usage should be avoided, as they do not always provide satisfactory results. If its "As-Failed" condition, you can usually recover your data with the entire directory structure intact. However, NOT RUNNING UTILITY PROGRAMS IS CRITICAL. Do not install new programs or attempt to save data onto the affected drive; this could make the situation worst.

Insert your disk or drive and launch Disk Utility. Disk Utility is found under Apple menu > Utilities > Disk Utilities Click each partition and type a name for it, choose a format, and type a size. You can also drag the divider between the partitions to change their sizes. If a partition's name has an asterisk beside it, it's shown larger than its actual size in order to display its name legibly.

Depending on the operating system being used, there could be multiple steps involved in partitioning and formatting a drive.

After performing the copy, the target drive may not boot due to different hardware or software configurations. Problems resulting from this will not be supported.

The Elder Geek on Windows XP site contains many articles and suggestions for modifying the Windows XP operating system. I've tried these tweaks and tips on many systems. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. The point is, ensure you have a current, tested backup of all system and data files and understand how to restore the system in case something goes very wrong.

Where c0 is the controller number. t0 is the target (SCSI ID number) (omit for ATAPI/IDE) d0 is always 0 for SCSI, the drive # for ATAPI/IDE p0 is the partition; DOS is the first partition here /mnt is the mount point You can use the normal UNIX commands to copy files, 'cp', etc., after that to move the data. DOS filenames are in the old 8.3 format (lower case) for Solaris 2.5.1, in long filename format (lower case) for Solaris 2.

No, you can't. Each partition represents the exact clone of the master disc. They can not be combined or truncated.

Yes, the only difference is the hard drive of your DVR cannot read in other PC. NTFS is designed to secure your data from unauthorized access. The recorded video data retrieved from an FAT32 hard drive and can be played in other (NTFS or FAT) PC. «top»­­­ Many users forget to install this driver, causing the application to function abnormally.

No. You allow changes to be kept in a specific folder even after reboot by entering the path to the folder in the Writable Directories screen of Clean Slate.

I created an image that is saved on multiple CD-R(W) discs or DVD-R/RW (DVD+R/RW) discs, but when I want to explore this image, Acronis True Image 9.0 says that it cannot mount the partition as a logical drive.

No. Each partition represents the exact clone of the master disc. They can not be combined or truncated.

Please note that we do not provide tech support regarding software issues, which include driver installations and/or software problems. We will work with you to determine any hardware defects and/or conflicts with other hardware devices. If you need more help in regards to this issue, please refer to the link(s) listed below. If any of your peripherals (i.e. modem, sound card, etc. are not working, please check the Device Manager under your Windows Operating System.

All of our cases will take either a standard 3.5" or notebook 2.5" hard drive. See the Case Matrix to determine which cases require a specific size HDD.

We strongly recommend against resizing or formatting a hard drive partition that contains bad blocks, as this could lead to a total data loss on this partition. Acronis Disk Director Server does not allow you to resize hard drive partitions with bad blocks. We recommend that you create an image of this partition using Acronis True Image Server für Windows, reformat the hard disk so the bad blocks are recovered and then restore the created image resizing the partition.

Yes, but only if you encrypt an entire system drive (which may contain multiple partitions) or a system partition (i.e., if you encrypt a drive or partition where Windows is installed).

Windows: By default, the preferences are stored in HKCU/Software/BitWise Chat/BitWise. Optionally, you may store the preferences in BitWise.ini in your home folder by pressing "Setup" prior to logging in and specifying you wish to store your preferences in that file rather than the registry. Detached mode allows you to use basic client features even when your computer cannot maintain communication with the BitWise server.

Both Netscape and Microsoft have measures in place that limit the number of cookies that will be saved on your hard drive at one time. Both Internet Explorer and Netscape conform to the RFC 2109 limitations on your total cookie count to 300 (this includes a limit of 20 cookies per individual domain). If you exceed this, the browser will discard your least-used cookies to make room for the new ones.
