Minitool partition wizard для windows

Как пользоваться MiniTool Partition Wizard?

В том случае, если пользователь устанавливает на свой компьютер или ноутбук русифицированную версию программы, то чаще всего проблем с тем, как использовать данную утилиту для решения задач, у него не возникает.

Если была установлена английская версия этого программного обеспечения, тогда вполне возможно, что для того, чтобы разобраться во всех возможностях и функциях этого программного обеспечения, потребуется какое-то количество времени.

Для того чтобы не тратить слишком много времени для знакомства с английской версией программы, можно воспользоваться этой инструкцией.

Установив английскую версию программы и только начиная пользоваться её инструментами, пользователю лучше всего скопировать важные данные на диск или флеш-карту, которая не будет принимать участие в операциях.

Стоит отметить, что в случае необходимости пользователь, начавший пользоваться этим софтом, может скачать на сайте разработчика программы загрузочный образ ISO. После скачивания этого образа пользователь получает возможность создавать виртуальные диски или флешки.

Увеличиваем размер диска

В том случае, если необходимо увеличить размер диска, то утилита может это сделать за счёт другого тома. Стоит отметить, что чаще всего увеличивают раздел системного диска для того, чтобы появилась возможность устанавливать в этот раздел важные файлы и программы.

Выполняем форматирование SD-карты

Утилита позволяет проводить форматирование SD-карты, переведя её в формат FAT32. Так как стандартные инструменты операционной системы Windows сделать этого не позволяют, то единственным вариантом является использование программы MiniTool Partition Wizard.

Стоит отметить, что аналогичным способом можно форматировать и жёсткие диски компьютеров или ноутбуков. При этом выполняя форматирование жёсткого диска или флешки, необходимо помнить о том, что при выполнении этого процесса вся информация, которая присутствует на носителях, будет полностью удалена.

В качестве послесловия

Как видно из этой статьи, утилита MiniTool Partition Wizard, несмотря на наличие большого функционала, довольно проста в использовании, что позволяет пользователям выполнять с помощью этого программного обеспечения любые задачи, даже в том случае, если они работают с английской версией утилиты.

Однако решив опробовать возможности этого программного обеспечения, необходимо быть максимально острожным, чтобы по случайности или ввиду неправильных действий не уничтожить на носителе важную информацию.

How Does DOS Manage Disk and Partition?

In this part, we will show you what the DOS can do to manage the disk and partition.

As a matter of fact, the DOS can manage the disk and partition by imputing the required command. For example, it can input the following disk operation commands.

• Format a hard drive. Formatting a hard drive is a way to release more free space.
• Unformat. The unformat command is used to undo the formatting on a hard drive performed by the MS-DOS format command.
• Chkdsk command. The chkdsk command often referred to as check disk, is used to identify and correct certain hard drive errors.
• Diskcopy command. The disk command is used to copy the entire contents of one floppy disk to another.
• Label command. The label command is used to manage the partition label of a disk. For example, it can create, change, or delete a label of the partition.
• Vol command. The Vol command shows the volume label and a serial number of a specified disk, assuming this information exists.
• Scandisk command. It is used to check whether the disk fat tables, directory structures, or the file system has problems and fix the problems if they have.
• Defrag command. It is used to defrag the disk so as to remove the fragments. The defrag command is the command line version of Microsoft’s Disk Defragmenter.
• Sys command. The sys command is used to copy the MS-DOS system files and command interpreter to a disk. The sys command is used most often to create a simple bootable disk or hard drive.

Limitations in Windows 7 Disk Management

Windows 7 became generally available on October 22, 2009. Years later, many of you are still using this version. There are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 for your choice. 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer’s processor (also called a CPU), handles information.

In 2003, 64-bit CPUs were introduced to the mainstream personal computer arena, while 32-bit was popular previously. The 64-bit version of Windows can handle large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system. To know about the differences between 32-bit and 64-bit in Windows 7, please read the introduction of Windows 7.

To make full use of Windows 7 hard disks, you need to manage them according to your individual needs. In general, you can apply the Windows 7 snap-in Disk Management tool to partition Windows 7 32/64-bit system. But there are so many limitations in it.

For instance, in the basic disk, you can only extend a primary partition if there is adjacent unallocated space right behind the target partition, or extend a logical partition if there is adjacent free space right behind it (find out what caused extend volume greyed out). Otherwise, the basic disk will be converted into a dynamic disk.

In addition, some conversion functions can cause data loss, for example, conversion between MBR disk and GPT disk and converting dynamic disk to basic disk request you to delete all partitions in the target disk. All these limitations may cause inconvenience to you at any time.

Thus, do you know how to partition Windows 7 64-bit system with ease?

About Partition Recovery

Clone Disk

Clone is another useful feature of MiniTool ShadowMaker, which is significant for hard drive upgrading. A big difference between disk clone and disk image is that when you clone a disk, you can directly use it after the operation, while you will have to restore a disk image before you can use it directly. MiniTool ShadowMaker even can help you to clone the dynamic disk.

Note:

Is it better to make a clone? This depends on the actual situation. If you need to upgrade disk to a larger one without reinstalling OS, cloning is recommended. If you want to back up disk data to an image file, cloning cannot realize it but the backup feature can.

How to Clone Basic Disk

Step 1. Go to Clone Disk under Tools.

Step 2. Choose which disk to clone and where to store the copy.

Step 3. Confirm that you want to start the task and wait for the process to finish.

This means both the source disk and the target disk has the same signature, thus one disk is marked as offline by Windows. Just remove one that you don’t need.

Note:

By ticking «Shut down the computer when the operation is completed», you can take either the source disk or the target disk out of computer after the cloning.

How to Clone Dynamic Disk

MiniTool ShadowMaker also enables you to clone the dynamic disk. Now, you can refer to the following instructions.

Tip:

It can only clone the Simple Volume.

Step 1: Go to Clone Disk Under Tools.

Step 2: Choose the clone source by clicking The Source Disk. Here, you need to choose the dynamic disk.

Step 3: Choose the target disk by clicking The Target Disk section.

Step 4: Confirm that you want to start the task.

Tip:

All data on the target disk will be destroyed, so please back up them in advance.

Step 5: Wait for the process to be finished.

Step 6: When the process is finished, you will receive the following message.

This means both the source disk and the target disk has the same signature, thus you need to disconnect or remove either of them. In addition, if you want to boot your computer from the target disk, you need to change the BIOS settings.

Before you do:

Prepare a recordable CD/DVD disc and insert it into your CD/DVD driver. Or you can prepare a USB flash drive and then connect it to your PC. Or you can connect a USB hard disk to your computer.

Note

Note

① ISO File:

To make a .iso file, please select ISO File and then choose where to save the .iso file.

Please wait patiently until MiniTool Media Builder finishes building the .iso file. Then, click the Finish button.

Note

② If you are trying to boot from the CD/DVD disc, set the disc as the 1st boot option and save configuration changes.

③ If you are trying to boot from the external hard drive, set the disk as the 1st boot option and save configuration changes.
