★ 1587200 Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 I was wondering if anyone knew how I can go about sectioning off a part of my hd and !@#$%^&*igning it a letter. The thing is I want to rip all of my cd's onto my computer so I can make mixes and backups incase they get stolen or break, and instead of having them in a folder, I thought it would be kinda nice to have them on their own "drive".

★ 1587200 Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Posted March 2, 2004 10mb download + $$. I found Paragon Par!@#$%^&*ion Manager for free, and it did the trick.
★ 1587200 Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Posted March 2, 2004 Blah, that was a waste of time. It let me create a par!@#$%^&*ion out of the whole 7mbs of free space I had (or somethin) but wouldn't let me par!@#$%^&*ion the main drive. Then, it wouldn't let me delete the -*BAD WORD*- thing cause it was only the demo. So I said screw it and broke out the old 98 boot disk to fdisk the SOB, and it said wrong dos version. So now im going to break down and download the 10mb par!@#$%^&*ion magic... -*BAD WORD*- microsoft.
Jimster Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 humm, i have a PQmagic floppy version i will dig it out if you wish
★ 1587200 Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Posted March 2, 2004 na, screw it. I'll just rip everything into a directory on my hd. Im sick of messing around with it.
★ Dav Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 anyways if you back up to the same HDD and the HDD corrumts you will lose all pe!@#$%^&*ions. IF you dont have alot left you can get a new hdd, and have it as a second drive. SSCC Desert Storm OwnerSSforum Admin
★ 1587200 Posted March 2, 2004 Author Report Posted March 2, 2004 I'll just go pull down a couple of hundo's from the money tree I got in the backyard of my seven figure mansion and go buy 12 right now. You need anything while I'm back there pruning? :syrus:
Excel Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 I don't think it's possible to split up your harddrive's already used apce. Par!@#$%^&*ion Magic is usually used on just formatted harddrives. http://pulse.offbeat-zero.net/sig/Excel.png
Bargeld Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 You obviously haven't used it Even if you have 7mb free space, you can still par!@#$%^&*ion a full drive with PM and move directories/files to the new "drive" in 1 single operation. Sysop - SSCX Alpha West SVS
★ ZiGNoTZaG Posted March 6, 2004 Report Posted March 6, 2004 use maxblast (maxtors dos partioning utility) to remove the par!@#$%^&*ions then do a low level format from a bootdisk/ramdrive. then run maxblast again to set some nice new par!@#$%^&*ions and then reinstall win. moving os files around with a par!@#$%^&*ion program is shaky at best imho. c:root 5gigs d:programs and games 10gigs e:media 5gigs then you will have a nice happy puter. bu go on and mangle it up if you want http://www.zignotzag.net/images/subspace/vector/VectorWhat.png Vector What?

Dr Brain Posted March 6, 2004 Report Posted March 6, 2004 Boot off a Linux Live CD that has parted on it. then use parted to resize your main par!@#$%^&*ion, and create a new FAT32 par!@#$%^&*ion in the new free space. A Windows boot disk will allow you to format it, and then restart to see your new drive letter. Freedom is the right to be wrong.
