As the saying goes, there must be a combination of points. What should I do if the partition is inappropriate and I want to change the size of the partition (commonly known as "lossless dynamic partition")? For this question, the person who is most qualified to speak is the partition demon (hereinafter referred to as PQ). Let's take PQ 8.0 DOS version as an example to illustrate.
Disk C is the most prone to capacity crisis. Let's take increasing the capacity of drive C as an example: if you want to increase the capacity of drive C, you will naturally reduce the capacity of other partitions. Assuming that disk D has 1GB free space and disk E has 3GB free space, and now you want to give the 4GB space of these two partitions to disk C, then when operating with PQ 8.0 DOS version, you must first give the free space of disk E to disk D, and then allocate it from disk D to disk C. ..
The specific operation is as follows: After entering the PQ main interface, right-click the E disk and select Resize/Move from the right-click menu.
After entering the "Resize/Move Partition" window, enter the space that E disk needs to be vacated in the "Previously Available Space" column, which is less than or equal to the maximum remaining space value of E disk.
After entering the space capacity value to be vacated, click OK to return to the main interface. At this time, you will find a "blank area" between D and E, which is a "gift" from disk E to disk D.
Right-click Disk D and select Resize/Move. After entering the "resize/move partition" window of disk D, first change the number of "free space after" from the original XXX (that is, the value of "free space before" of disk E) to "0", so that the "gift" of disk E is accepted. Then, enter the space value for freeing the D disk in the "Free space before" column. Finally, click OK to confirm.
Now there is a relatively large "blank area" between C and D, which is the space finally vacated for C disk. Right-click disk C, select Resize/Move, and then in the Resize/Move partition window of disk C, set the number at "Free space after" to "0". After saving the settings, all the gifts given by D and E to C will be accepted. Click the "Apply" button in the lower right corner of the main interface and confirm, and PQ will be officially adjusted.
Tip: Although PQ can adjust the partition capacity and format without loss, for the sake of data safety, it is best to back up important data before operation, and at least scan and defragment the hard disk before operation to avoid data loss. When using PQ, don't quit the system abnormally or shut down suddenly, otherwise it will easily cause data loss in the partition and even physical damage to the hard disk.
