2 TB hdd want to split into boot and data partitions
I hate to admit this but its been way to long since I have had to do this for a client much less for my wife's PC.
I have a New computer that my son just built for my wife. It has a tripple core processor etc. 8 gig of Memory and a 2 TB hard disk. He configured it as one drive vs a 100-120 Gig Boot drive and the balance as a Data Drive.
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit is installed on the computer from my Partner kit.
To make it easier for upgrades as well as backing up data I was going to change the partitions of the drive so that everything else would be stored on the 2nd partition.
so could somone please give me some advice to save me from having to remember how to do all of this..
#1 Is this still a valid idea under windows 7? My employees typically do this and with the storms we have had recently they aren't here.
#2 So if its a bad idea to do this then I guess I"m ok to start loading information on the hard drive from my wifes old computer
#3 If its a good idea then Please give me some suggestions on how I need to do this correctly so that I'm not going to cause problems.
#4 I'm open for any other ideas or suggestions that the others on the board may suggest.
Thanks again,
Tommy...
