Can partitioning a disk reduce booting trouble?
Please redirect me if I have stumbled on wrong Group.
Blue screen causes lot of trouble to me. If I partition the primary disk into size sufficient for operating system and rest of the size, would my troubles reduce? Almost exclusibely my troubles are with win2k. When disk has free space there is always temtation to put other things on it. Thought by having nothing but OS on C: partition I may get out of booting trouble to some extent. Thanks. |

No, only identifying and resolving the cause of the problem, will stop
the booting trouble. wrote: Please redirect me if I have stumbled on wrong Group. Blue screen causes lot of trouble to me.

How about posting the Stop Error(s) listed on the blue screen? I am a kind of low level worjer in the game. I read out the error on phone and get told to remove the disk which eventually gets formated and freshly set up with OS. I should have taken down the the long number of the error and 5/6 lines that appear below it. Two things I remember, one is possibility of virus and another is look into manual. I am certainly going to copy the whole thing next time it appears on next machine ( though how I wish it will never appear). Regards, DMJoshi |

Can partitioning a disk reduce booting trouble?
You need to research this on microsoft.com . There are limits such as
the boot partition needs to be within the first 2GB of the disk start and partitions are limited in size, but I believe this might be a BIOS imposed limit. wrote: Please redirect me if I have stumbled on wrong Group.

Can partitioning a disk reduce booting trouble?

wrote: If you right-click your "documents and settings" folder and transfer/move it to the 2nd partition, together with mail storage folder and other important things, it may make a reinstall less painful. Reinstall is always by formating the whole disk. So far on the primary disks are without partition. It is planned that these disks as they go in error will be resettup with partition, but if error appears, they will get formated before resetup. Partitioning is looked at as an option whereby error takes longer to reappear. However, it will not solve that problem you didn't tell us about. What does your event viewer tell, and have you disabled automatic reboot on error to be able to get a clue out of the bluescreen? There is never automatic reboot. Error appears only when machine is restarted or repowered. -- vista policy violation: Microsoft optical mouse found penguin patterns on mousepad.

"Geoff Fitton" wrote in message ... wrote: Reinstall is always by formating the whole disk. Where did you get that idea ? I believe you misunderstood. The poor guy is seriously lacking in basic grammer skills. I think he meant to say "When I have reinstalled in the past, I have always reformatted the whole disk." So he's asking if he should partition the disk, so next time he only has to format the boot partition, leaving the data partition intact. |
