Seagate DiscWizard tool?

Mga bro, I wanted to format and partition this 80 gig SATA seagate drive pero when I visited the website dili naman available ila
discwizard tool.... Naa pa mo extra copy ani? or unsa lain alternative free tool ako magamit para format og partition ani?

bro, separate ang HDD nimo?

if separate na xa sa current HDD Nimo, you can go to:

Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management

Then click on the drive you want to Format and Partition. You can partition directly from the Disk Management.

If you're using your current HDD to partition, better use Partition Magic because you can Partition your HDD without formatting / losing your documents from your current HDD.

I hope this helps..

dili separate bro, one and only HDD rani sa computer.

gusto ta nako i-reformat ang drive and start a fresh installation kay slow na and medyo corrupted na ang Windows/OS. daghan na errors mang gawas....

unsaon man nako ni?

if you have important files, better back it up.. Try Windows Backup utility, burn the file in a disc(for windows pro only, wala ni sa home edition and lower windows), then re-install dayon sa Windows.

Naka-suway na ka og reinstalling your OS? What OS d.i imuha bro?

Other option, let some shop reinstall it for you.. try daw arctech or pcx if sugot sila magpareinstall sa windows.. But I guess kinahanglan nga original siguro nga OS kay basin madakpan sila. but ensure man ang imung files ana nga ma-backup..

Yup naka install nako OS many times (Win XP ako gamit ron). I keep my important files in a thumb/flash drive.

Ganahan lang ko ato Seagate Discwizard tool kay dali ra ang format and partition (just a few seconds human na).. Okay ra unta if format lang unta but I wanted to repartition my drive to just only 2 partitions (currently i have 3 partitions).

you can partition your Drive using the installer disc sa windows Xp.

After ma-backup tanan..

Reboot and insert the CD Installer for Windows
Inside that blue-menu screen in installing windows, you'll reach a certain menu where you'll install your 'Windows' Folder, kana bitaw mopili ka unsa nga drive imu installan, naa na siya'y option nga madelete nimo ang partition. Try looking at the options at the bottom of the screen. I think it's "L" to delete partition.. Den mahimu na to free space.. You can re-partition your drive through that utilitiy, add and delete partition and can specify how big will the partition be and you can arrange it according to your liking..
