How to resizing the primary partition
Before starting this we just brush the basic
In a computer every data is stored in a storage medium, called as hard disk. Hard disk stores OS (operating system). The hard disk can have many partition with a each partition of minimum of 8mb. Usually partition of harddisk fall into three category.
Primary Extended->logical
Primary partition has only system file which cannot be further partition
Extended partition – Rest after creating a primary partition is the extended partition
Logical – extended is further divided as logical partition
Correct Method
If in case we have partition the entire harddisk as primary partition, nothing wrong if os problem occur no data cant be recovered.
Wrong Method
Thus proper way is to created atleast 2 partition.
If we installed os in entire harddisk there two ways to do further partition.
a) Reinstalling OS
b) By using 3rd party software one such software we used is a freeware.
