View this Thread in Original format Maor Levi Hey all I Was wondering how can i Split my Hardrive into 2 Partitions from 1. Iv Used Partition Magic Pro software but when i splitted the harddrive i was missing a few GBs... is there a reliable way to do it through Windows XP (diskmgmt.msc , Disk Managment) or other software...even on Partition Magic Pro? Also , which of NTFS or FAT32 are the best Settings for Production? :) Thanks [Alpha]Dave y0 Maor! I've used Partition Magic for this purpose and it worked out fine for me! And I would recommend you go for NTFS! ;) /Dave farris Maybe these articles can help you a bit: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/may.../pcmusician.htm http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/Mar...pcnotes0302.asp Other than that, maybe just buy a second HD? Dirt cheap nowadays. That way you can split files over multiple drives i.e. HD1 program files etc. and HD2 other stuff like samples, backups... Just some ideas. - farris No Left Turn That's really weird that Partition Magic is screwy. I use it and it's worked perfectly fine for me. As far as splitting the drives, FAT32 would be better since it allows faster access to all your files. I would recommend getting the 2nd hard drive though. It doesn't really make sense to partition a single drive for production purposes since the drive is still working the double load. The 2nd drive will lighten the work load immensely and you will have a more stable running system. Hope this helps! CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
