Laptop hard drive 2.5-inch diameter discs, most laptop hard drive speed is only 4200rpm, so the laptop hard disk partition must pay attention to the format and capacity planning.
Partition format
And above the use of Win950SR2 version of the operating system, preferably FAT32 partition. Format this partition a waste of disk space is relatively small, but also in the notebook computer run faster, even in the face can not be entered when the system crashes, you can also save the data in the DOS below. FAT32 partitions can also be compatible with other operating systems Liunx.
Although the FAT32 partition is used by most notebook partition form, but it also has its own shortcomings. FAT32 partitions in DOS, you can access all the files, and can not control the use of space for each user and file / folder encryption, so it's the main problem is that there are some security issues.
Only NTFS partition in Win2000 and WinXP will be supported. NTFS partition than FAT32 and FAT16 management functions better, you can encrypt any data, limiting the space used by other users. NTFS partition and have good stability, and can automatically maintain a better optimization. NTFS partition of the space occupied by even less than FAT32. FAT32 and NTFS partition not the largest single file and partition size limit for large file storage. In addition, NTFS partitions also allows you to save hard disk space compression area, and support to reduce the file index search time.
NTFS partition main problem is not in the notebook hard drive performance advantages of the above, in practice the use of NTFS partition is always a bit slower than using FAT32 partition. And file it with the other partition can not access each other, after the collapse of the data, you can not save from the DOS below.
Partition size
To ensure the normal operation of the operating system, need to install the operating system partition sufficient use of space. If your hard disk capacity is not very large, such as only the 20G, then the general installation of Windows 2000 and XP systems, the system partition of the space reserved for 5G enough about the other partitions should according to their needs divided.
Jian Yi 将 some common points of the software is installed in the system area, because for notebook computers is, its hard disk drive more slowly, if the software installed on a system of sub-region in Fei, will Ruanjian of becoming a more Man Yun Xing.
For some IE history, documents, information, software, temporary folder, etc., better address changes in the software will default to the other partition as well, it also avoids the hard disk read and write again and again over these temporary files generated fragments of lead system slows down.
