Very constructive, gee thanks

serious question, why do people bother with partitioning? what good is separating data on the same disk? it's not like the hard drive can have a head for every partition

>>59677225
OP here, had the same question and tried to make it better, cause her Autodesk applications took up the whole of C: 100GB, so thought I'd even out the partitions to 500 - 500 gb. I don't use partitioning on any of my PCs, that's why I don't have a clue how any of this works and Microsoft Answers Pajeets are not very helpful.

you need to have C for apps, D for music, films, anime and E for video games for maximum performance

Going 500-500 across two drives a "wrong". It's obvious you don't have a clue what you're doing and I suggest you stop playing / learning on someone elses work device!. Don't even try to undo what you've already done. Just stop before you end up loosing an entire partition and all the data that was on the drive. If I try to explain what's going on it's going to be a collection of jargon you won't have any context for. Playing with partitions is something you need to do on your own hardware. Leave the work hardware for the work IT department.

looks like no more pussy for you op

I wasn't trying to to this across two drives. As I stated, I thought initially it was one drive. Now I shrunk the 1 TB HDD by 160 GB or so, my question is, can I undo the process? I did already stop and asked you bright people of this board for advice. Hit me with all of your jargon, I can handle it.

You can't even handle realizing that there are two hard drives you dense mother fucker. You have a shitty attitude for someone that fucked up and is begging for advice. Give her your macbook you loser.

>>59678375
I checked that after going to disk management and shrinking. I don't own and never plan on owning an Apple product.

You have a shitty attitude, not me.

>already stop and asked you bright people of this board
Yeah, nice attitude, faggot. Whatever you say. Hey how's that laptop problem you created out of thin air? Your great attitude getting you lots of answers?

>>59677225
it was a good idea when you only had 1 hard disk and you wanted to reinstall the system, most normie computers pre 2005 had a partitioned hard drive

Better question, do you pronounce the word 'data' as "day-ta" or "dah-tah" ?

>>59678618
I was not satirical when using the term 'bright'. But you wouldn't know anything about it, cause your autism causes this to 'fly above your head'...

>>59678803
Umm, day-ta?

>>59677225
>format OS partition
>keep media partition

Backup all her shit then start fucking around with the drives. Format the new partition on the HDD. If the partition is on the SSD your pants on head retarded. Windows uses a partition for boot and recovery purposes

>>59678803
dah-tah

>>59677164
I just shit myself. Wanna trade places?

>>59678803
Dah-ta

>>59677164
Yes you can. The data is still there. Don't ask me how though. I did lots of partitioning stuff at my last job for databases running on centos. Obviously the tool sets are different.

Good luck.

>>59678874
Luckily it's not the wandows boot partition.

>>59678803
def day-ta
