Conversion method
After A primary partition compressed volume out an unallocated space, B
Using Diskgenius software
To create new partitions B (extended partition) into an extended partition C;
To create new partition C (logical partitions) into a logical partition D;
And delete the logical partition D become available space D volumes,
Each partition explain
Primary partition is also called disk partitions, is one type of disk partitions, its main function is used to install the operating system, a hard disk can create up to four primary partitions,
As the most primary partition can create four, we need to use an extended partition break the limitation of four, you can create multiple logical partitions on the disk to create these logical partitions are called extended partition, you can use your primary partition and store data in a logical partition, but can't use an extended partition storage, extended partition is we to the floorboard of the logical partitions,

This is a personal understanding of the above concept, what deficiencies welcome advice

Windows the easy to operate, basically see Linux how to play,,,

CodePudding user response:

No problem, the limitation of four partitions from the MBR partition table space constraints (64 bytes, each partition 16 bytes) is to note, however this is MBR partition table will encounter problems, is now more popular GPT partition format, no longer have this problem,
And even the MBR format, practice is also suggested that as far as possible use primary partitions, so adjust the space will be more easy,
