Hello,
This is not really a new USB terabyte drive it is going to be a new one as I am starting all over. The whole partition was allocated to one partition I want to divide it up now into three partitions I am formatting a new so whatever data is on their I intend to make it go away.
What I want to know is is it better to resize that partition and then add or create the two others afterwards? Or should I just create partitions over it?
For example I want my first partition which is already formatted and available and is the whole of the terabyte drive, resize it down to 200 GB and then with the rest put in the other partitions (whatever size I deem them).
I went to a dear friend's house the other day and try to repair his computer. I was happy to see that he had true image software. But he did not have disk director suite. Luckily since I knew he was putting in a new hard drive I brought my bootable disk. I really enjoyed participating his new drive. I was able to fix his other problems as well and I am going to go and finish the job here tomorrow. I will be installing his OS to it. I am partitioning my USB drive like he is as I know that this is a very good way to do it. Having one for the OS one for applications data and another for creating data(documents, pictures, and all that jazz).
I hope I have made myself clear, I know I do not do that very well sometimes.
Thank you,
