New Inspiron 15R - Hard Disk Parition
Hello Friends,
I got my New Inspiron 15R today. It's really amazing and cool Laptop. Glad to be the owner of the Laptop.
I have a query with regards to the laptop partition. I see 500 GB in the C:/ Drive and i do not find any other drives other than C:/
Kindly could you any one let me know as to how to partition by the Drives.
Thanks & Regards,
Uday

Windows 7 works better if you don't partition as you did in windows xp and vista. In fact it will cause you major problems if you change anything. The hidden Recovery partition contains the system image--the only method for reinstalling windows and all your software since you don't receive any recovery disks. Open Backup and Restore to make a system repair disk (boot disk) and save all backups and system images to an external hard drive. Partitioning was for the time before system images. Now Win 7 uses Libraries to organize files. Read about using Libraries in Windows 7 HERE. Search online for more info.

Hey Royan,
Thanks for the link, my question was as to how to make partition on my own. Dell provided 450 GB in a single drive. I want to make my own partition like C: 50, D: 150 E: 150 F: 150 (Total 500 GB)..
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Uday
