Partition an unallocated hard drive??
I was confused with trying to partition the hard drive since last evening. Here is my computer specifications below:
Acer Aspire M3450M-ER20P Desktop
3.3GHz AMD FX-6100 Processor
8GB DDR3 system memory; Expandable up to 16GB
2TB hard disk drive
16X DVD+/-R/RW optical drive
Windows 7 Home Premium operating system
AMD HD7570 Graphics with 1GB dedicated memory
OK I type " Disk Management " in Search programs and files after click " Start" on taskbar.
No problem to show Disk Management on the screen and right click the hard drive to shrink. To my surprise that I only had 532 MB to shrink the main hard drive with Acer (C: -- 1844.92 GB (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition -- Healthy) and two other hard drives that have partition as well. One is with System Reserved -- 100 MB (Healthy) and other is 18.00 GB Healthy (Recovery Partition).
I want to create a partition hard drive for RAMDISK with 6 GB but I don't have enough to create a partition hard drive. Because after the shrink report that I only have 532 MB in Acer C: hard drive. Is 532 MB not enough to create to 6 GB hard drive? I think so but could be wrong.
Your help would be appreciated how to make a partition hard drive for RAMDISK.
Thank you,
John
