Dividing a large partition into a number of smaller ones

There are various ways of dividing a large partition into a number of smaller ones, according to the size and amount of

data allocation.

Important: If the application is unsuccessful, there is a risk that your data will be either partially or fully lost. That’s

why you should backup all the original partition’s data onto a removable medium or another partition.

Note: Enlarging or reducing the system partitions is only possible with O&O PartitionManager while using the Start-

CD and under Windows PE. For more information consult chapter Change system partitions.

Option 1: Shrinking the partition to the minimal size (based on the amount of data), and using the area that’s now free

for creating the desired number of partitions.

Right-click the selected partition and then click Change location and size. In the dialogue box, go to Volume size

and set the minimal size. The space you now have available will be subsequently displayed in the view of the disk.

By right-clicking the free space you can create a New partition and adjust the size to make sure you’ll have

enough space for any further partitions you may want to create. In the dialogue you’ll also be able to perform

additional functions such as assigning drive letters or the type of drive.

3. You will then be able to create the next partition in the same way. The new partition will be created after you’ve

confirmed your selections.

Option 2: When your partition is almost full, create an image of your data on either a removable medium or another par-

tition. You can then delete the original partition and split it afterwards into the number of partitions you desire. Once

you’ve finished doing this, you can divide your imaged data among the newly created partitions.

1. Create an image of your data from the large partition and save it on a removable medium or another partition.

Delete the original partition by right-clicking the selected partition and then clicking Delete partition. It will then

be labeled as an unallocated space.

After you right-click, select New partition and adjust the size to make sure you’ll have enough space for any addi-

tional partitions you might want. In the dialogue you’ll also be able to perform additional functions such as

assigning drive letters or the type of drive.

4. You will then be able to create the next partition in the same way. The new partition will be created after you’ve

confirmed your selections.
