  1. Hello i have a laptop with 2 disk partitions both with windows how do i toggle between the 2


    Hello i have a laptop with 2 disk partitions 1 partiton i use for crypto/other bs which idc that gets hacked and teh other i use as a normal safe computer for day to day, currently i am locked out of acessing the first poartition. They both have windows 11 and i would really like it if i can toggle between the 2 windows systems on startup so i can use this laptop as 2 different laptops and when i want to use partition 1 i can then i can do something and resatrt or shutdown and turn on again and switch to partition 2 so i can use them both freely

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

  3. Multiple Partitions or 2 partitions of Hard Disk

    My laptop has a 750GB hard disk drive. I use Windows 10 operating system. I have created a partition of size around 70GB for Windows installation. Now I have remaining space free for storing my other files. I am looking for opinion regarding should I go
    for creating a single partition with remaining space or should I create more than 1 partitions to store variety of data.

    Basically, should I have total of 2 partitions where 1 is windows partition and other one for data; or there should be more than 2. Other than usability, are there any other factors that might affect speed and health of hard disk drive? Thanks in advance.

    Hello i have a laptop with 2 disk partitions both with windows how do i toggle between the 2

    why do 2 Local Disks get isolated?

    This HP has a new SSD. I just now found this and wonder if it is stupids and/or dangerous to try <

    "How to delete EFI partition with Diskpart

    Step 1. Hit "Windows Key + R to open the run dialogue box, enter "diskpart" and click "OK" to open a black command prompt window.
    Step 2. Type "list disk" to display all the disks of your computer. Type "select disk n" to identify which disk you need to work with. Here n stands for the disk letter.
    Step 3. Type "list partition" to display all the volumes on the hard drive. Type "select partition n" to identify which partition you want to remove. Here n stands for the volume letter.
    Step 4. Type "delete partition override" to remove the EFI partition. Finally, type "exit" to close the windows when you receive the message says, DiskPart successfully deleted the selected partition"

    just for a better understanding, but not wanting to complete it, I took these steps >

    so C: should be using 70GB I assume (461- 391)

    Am sure my lack of expert knowledge is showing!
