Partitioning, formatting

• Partitions vs. drives

• For Windows:

  • boot from CD-ROM and setup will do it
  • using Disk manager later on
  • repartition without changing data/programs (before Windows 7): Partition Magic or Partition Commander.
  • resizing partitions in Windows 7: disk manager
  • High level formatting: FAT, FAT32, NTFS 4, NTFS 5 (2k,XP, 7)
