(Solved) - How to resize my Hard disk without convert it to Dynamic

(8 posts)

My NB comes with 500 GB HDD, with preinstalled Windows 7 pro 64bit. The all dirve conssiest of one partition, I would like to shrink my HDD and split it into 4 partition for multible booting (win 7 pro, Redhat, win xp, Data), when i using disk manager to shrink my C: it convert the partition type from Basic to dynamic, and that last prevent me from doul booting.

How can i resize, split my HDD without lossing my win 7 pro as primary O.S. without convert the C: drive into dynamic? does Diskpart command do that?

None of the above will help if you already have 4 primary partitions. And that you can only see in Disk Management because some of the partitions may be hidden.

I suggest you post a good picture of your Disk Management, and then we go from there. You probably have to convert one of the primaries to logical before proceeding. But without a look at Disk Management, we are flying blind.

Thank you for help, i need to create more than 4 partitions, and allow my NB to have doul booting.

Well, that is not exactly a snip of Disk Management, but this PW snip will do. It shows that you have only 3 primary partitions which is good. Thus you can make more simple extended/logical partitions in the 400GBs unallocated space.

Just make sure you do not create any additional primary partitions. You can even make the C: partition logical. But that operation will only work with the bootable CD of PW because C: must be inactive during the 'operation'. XP you can also install in a logical partition because the bootmgr is in the small system reserved active partition.

Btw: If you right click on the small boot partition in PW and go to 'Explore', you can see what's in it. You can open the 3 folders by clicking on the little + boxes in front.
