How to divide the external hard drive into different sections?
Written by admin on April 15, 2009 – 10:04 am -Normally, the hard drive in our computers has more than one drives. We save all the program files in one drive such as drive c:/ and save other files like Word documents, photos, songs in another drive such as drive e:/. Is it necessary to divide external hard drive into different sections such as F:/, G:/, H:/?
And how to divide the external hard drive into several sections?
With External plugged in.....Right Click on My Computer icon....select Manage. Go to Disk Management...there you can create partitions (Logical Drives) in the sizes you specify. Keep in mind that you will have to delete any existing partition and data to make changes to it.

I suggest you make some folders on the drive, one for each drive you want, and then "map" drive letters to those folders. Make the folder first, and then try "Map Network Drive" in Windows Explorer (on the Tools menu). These are not true "drives" (in the sense of partitions), but this is a much safer and more flexible way of handling it.
