Getting Ready for RC
Hey guys, I am trying to get ready for the RC to be officially released so I can start running Windows 7.
I never installed Build 7000 back when it was up for download. and recently I was just told to wait till the RC comes out. and get that.
I currently am just checking HD space, and trying to decide what I will do. I've been looking at getting another HD recently. Either a second 500GB 32mb cache 7200.11 for Raid0, or I think I might just get a WD 1TB Black Edition. I don't know.
Anyways. My current 500GB HD has 145GB Free of 465GB. I was watching z3r010 "How to Dual Boot Windows 7 BETA & Vista" Video. and I was trying to make a partition like in his video. and it wont let me. Basically I go to My Computer, click Manage, then select disk management. When I click and choose Shrink, It only gives me 508MB of space to shrink... How is that? Not even 1GB and I have 145gb free?
Why would it do that? I've actually never partitioned a HD. (Sad I know). lol so I'm not sure what to do from here.
How big of a Hard Drive should I have, or partition should I make, to run Windows 7? I think I might just get another 500GB and throw Windows 7 on that. and then I can just use either HD and either operating system. Then set up Raid0 later.
What does everyone think here?
Thanks!
