How big is the Win7 system disk? With the release of Windows7 system, "new machine with new system" has become the choice of most people. But before you were ready to install Windows 7, did you notice any partitioning problems? Are you aware of the importance of hard disk partitioning as the basis of computer operation? Under normal circumstances, the new computer's hard disk will be divided into C disk and D disk two partitions, this is the installer in order to save time, but obviously this approach is not suitable for our daily work needs, and the current mainstream configuration of the hard disk is 500GB or 1TB large hard disk, just divided into two partitions how to use! Therefore, the reasonable partition of the hard disk is very necessary. Based on Win7 and 1TB hard disk as an example, this paper recommends several sets of large hard disk partitioning schemes.
Windows 7 flagship operating system
1TB hard disk
System disk "I" good everyone can be good as a system disk, its importance is self-evident. Only the system disk has enough space to ensure the stable operation of the system, in order to give full play to the overall performance of the computer. By default, the system files of Win7 occupy about 8GB of space (as shown in the figure), which mainly includes system files, page files (about 1.5 times the space of memory) and sleep files (about equal to memory). In addition to the space required for cache files, temporary files, etc., Microsoft conservatively recommends that the partition size for installing Win7 be 15GB. However, we recommend that you allocate 50GB of space for the system disk. Recommended partition: 50GB partition reason: remove the 8GB space occupied by the system, some cache files and part of the installation software files should also be installed in the system disk (we do not recommend the installation of the program on the system disk, please refer to the program disk division description for details), so that 15GB space can only be said to be sufficient. However, if you want to improve the performance of the system, the system disk must have enough space for storing temporary files that are released when installing or running some software, and the necessary swap space when the disk is organized. And not only the system disk, the space usage of any disk is best not more than 80%, so that the disk can run better. Therefore, we recommend that you divide some space for the system disk as much as possible. Tip: When we install Windows7 system to create a primary partition, a system partition with a size of 100MB is generated. It is Windows7's BitLocker partition encrypted information storage area. We have introduced the role of BitLocker in the 32nd issue, it is not elaborated here, and 100MB of space for 1TB hard disk is like a drop in the bucket, plus its own role, so it is recommended that you keep the partition.
As mentioned earlier, we do not recommend that you install programs on the system disk, otherwise the system disk will need more space. Of course, if you feel that all are installed on the system disk, Ghost backup is more convenient, which is understandable. But in contrast, the program is better installed separately. This is because the program disk is the most frequent read and write operations, which means that it is the most prone to disk fragmentation, if integrated with the system disk, it is likely to affect the stability of the system. In addition, the installation, uninstallation and upgrade of the software are also very frequent, and after Ghost, it also needs to be upgraded or reinstalled, so the significance is not great. Disk applications installed separately recommended partition: 100GB partition reason: With the advent of the large hard disk era, the volume of many software is also getting larger and larger, after the installation of 2GB to 3GB of space is very common, such as World of Warcraft client installation will take up more than 10GB of space. So, this disk please consider your personal reality setting. We recommend that the program disk is divided into 100GB of space, but also can be divided according to personal circumstances and actual needs more, please refer to the final plan list for details.
In the process of our daily application of the computer, there will always be some personal documents to save, as many as these documents, will not take up a lot of disk space, but for them to separate a disk storage, classification and preservation, it is also very necessary, so it is more conducive to our management. Win7 recommended division: 50GB division reason: our personal documents, mainly some family photos, videos, work documents and so on. These files take up much less space. And some important files, we recommend that you can use the method of burning CD to save, to avoid hard disk damage caused by permanent loss of data. Therefore, this disk can be freely adjusted according to individual circumstances. However, since it is a large 1TB hard drive, 50GB of space will not be wasted. Tip: In Windows 7, the file library has provided us with basic categories, such as videos, pictures, documents and music, but these folders are in the system disk directory, once the system crashes and can not be recovered, the loss is self-evident. Therefore, we recommend that you save important files in separate partitions. If you need quick access, just store it in the file library.
Entertainment disk requirements, so the capacity is large I believe that now home computers, more based on entertainment. For example, store some HD movies and watch them slowly; It is also necessary to save some game clients after downloading, to prepare for future reinstallation; Listening to music is also absolutely lossless in APE format. Therefore, the file characteristics of the entertainment disc are basically - big! Entertainment disk requirements more recommended partition: the remaining space minus 50GB partition reason: entertainment disk, mainly storage and backup files, file size is generally large, but file read and write is not frequent, so you can not organize disk fragmentation for a long time, so the entertainment disk as the largest partition of the disk partition is also more reasonable.
In today's Internet age, if you use a computer in addition to chatting and browsing the Web the most frequently done thing, I am afraid that download is nothing! For example, download the game client mentioned above. Recommended division: The remaining 50GB division reason: As the title says, not too small just right. The reason why the download disk is divided separately is because this partition is the most frequent disk read and write operations in a region, so it is necessary to often do disk consolidation. If the partition is too large, the disk sorting speed will be reduced; Too small to meet file download requirements. So 50GB is about right. Download disk separate division tips: After installing some download programs (such as thunder, EMule, etc.), remember to modify the default download path to the download disk, otherwise it will lose the meaning of separate division yo.
Recommended Solutions The preceding partition uses 1TB disks as an example. You can adjust the partition ratio for disks of other capacities. In addition, everyone's actual needs are different, we can use this division plan as a basis to adjust to meet their own requirements. However, we recommend that you divide up to 5 partitions, too many partitions are not conducive to management and disk maintenance.
In addition, the use of Win7 comes with the disk management tool, you can be very good to complete the partition adjustment, formatting and other work, without the need for third-party software, due to space limitations we will no longer do more to explain, you can try yourself.
