| | How to partition a new external HD in Windows 7? I just got a new Western Digital 2TB external hard drive for backup, but I want to partition it in order for it to be more effective(or so I've heard). I know that in Windows XP when you format a new hard drive you can make partitions with extreme ease. How can I do that in Windows 7? TIA |

| | Disk management operates basically the same in windows 7. Do not make more than 4 partitions as this can be problematic for the file system. If windows built in is just not working for you or you don't understand it properly I suggest using a partition tool Here's a decent one with a free version Free Partition Magic alternative. Free Partition Manager Software for Windows 7/VISTA/XP/2000 and Windows Server 2003/2008/2000. |
