Today I was going to partition my drives. Something I've wanted to do for quite a while but never really gotten around to it. In particular, I want four/five extra partitions.
The first is the primary C:\ drive that Windows has anyway. The other 3 would be Extended Partitions primarily for storage, not boot options. A fifth Logical Partition is a possibility if I ever wish to install Linux or any other OS on my system (and I do want to install Linux, lol).
I have a 100GB HDD to work with (120GB but 20GB is reserved). I know it doesn't sound like much but it's all I've got and honestly, it's enough for what I wanted to do. The 3 Extended Partitions would be all for storage, all 20GB in size (so that's 60GB with 40GB space still on the C:\ drive).
The extra 40GB would be just messed around with. Because Linux takes shit all space (I don't even think Ubuntu, which I have, uses 10GB, just under IIRC).
Of course, what I found out today is no partitioning software works with Windows Vista. Well, Paragon's Partitioning Manager apparently does work but it didn't for me, and I tried several fucking times. Even tried using this and this guides.
So my question is what? Simple. Has anyone ever successfully managed to partition their disks, has anyone tried to but failed and lastly, can anyone help me to partition my own drives? If it's even possible with what I want to do.
