(Solved) Managing partitions of the internal HD

(1/14) > >>

Lady:
Hi y'all,

I partitioned the internal HD on my laptop and out of curiosity checked the partitions on my desktop. I noticed that the E: partition is divided into two. See screenshot. No idea how that came about as this was done for me in my pc shop when I bought the custom-made desktop.

Now I (think I) know how to get the two together using the Minitool Partition Wizard, but isn't it wise to get all the music files off of these two partitions before I embark on another Partition Adventure?  :cheesy:

Or doesn't it make any difference and I can let this be?

Julian:
Shoot I'm color blind to green and red but does the color legend match to Any form of raid and I would say yes always back up if you mess with partitions

Shane:
That is odd that 2 E: partitions would show up. I also noticed that the other drivers are all basic MBR, as they should be, but the drive with D: and E: is dynamic.

I dont think it should have been set to dynamic.

Lady:
Thank you, Shane, for pointing that out. Had no idea. That article though is WAY too difficult for me. I'll ask the head of the tech dept. of my pc shop why they did that and if he can help out to fix it. In the meantime I'll read some more on the subject and see if I can do it myself.

Can't I earn karma points by doing my darndest best to try to understand all this IT stuff and fix my pc problems?  :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:

Julian:
Sorry lady I always hate color legends in bright colors or colors near the same tone.
