HOW TO CREATE A SECOND
PARTITION ON YOUR HARD DRIVE.
A very good practice to protect
your data is to separate your Windows OS (Operating System) from your data.
To do that, we need to create a second partition on your hard disk.
Generally speaking, we can
create a second partition in three different ways.
1. We format the hard
drive, create 2 partitions and then install Windows OS on the first one.
Doing it this way, you will
erase your hard drive completely. It’s like starting new. So make sure to
make a copy of your important documents if you want to keep them.
2. Use special tools
that allows you to create a second partition without changing the current
configuration of your computer. (This tools are not free but either one
deliver the same result)
Partition Magic
Acronis Disk Director Suite
User manual from Acronis disk director suite 9
3. Hire a computer
technician experienced on performing this operation

RE-ROUTE THE MOST COMMON
DESTINATIONS TO THE SECOND PARTITION
The most common folders to
re-route are:
Desktop
Favorites
My Documents

can be performed from within the Windows Registry (only for experts), Or using our easy to use
specialized tool for re-routing folders.
