Create Separate partition for windows-How to Guide

If you are a regular computer user , you must have faced the problem of securing your personal data when you need to upgrade or re-install window due to some reasons. Most of the times , we reinstall the windows because it is totally corrupt or has slowed down upto non tolerable extent.

Sometimes we get to save our data by shifting it to some secondary storage devices as backup like Portable Hard disk , Skydrive or some other storage medium but most of the time we loose our important data because of this problem.

So here I am going to tell you a simple method for saving your important data easily while you upgrade or re-install windows.

You can simply Create Separate partition for your operating system at the time of installation. It can be done by following some simple steps as given below :

How to Create Separate partition


Step 1 :

When installing windows –

To Create Separate partition while installing Windows 7 or Windows 8, you’ll need to select the Custom installation option during the initial stage of your windows installation setup. Go through the installation process normally until you reach the “Which type of installation do you want?” screen and then click the Custom option from given choices. For better understanding given a screenshot below


Once you start setup with the Custom installation of windows , you will be moved forward to a new screen with some more options as shown in image shown below :



Now here in this window , you simply have to click on Drive options (Advanced) option present at right side of dialog box.

Create several partitions by clicking the New button and entering desired size for each partition.

When you’re done with your partition sizes, select the partition where you wish to install windows and click the Next button. Windows will start installing to that partition. The space on the other partition will be available as its own separate drive letter in Windows.


Now upto this step , you are all done with setting up your system for installing window in a separate partition.

Once the window is completely installed in your selected partition or drive , all you have to do is make sure that whenever you install any application or software on your system , never keep it in same drive where you have installed windows. Always keep your personal files and data in some other drive than windows primary drive so that whenever you need to upgrade or re install windows , our data stay in safe place .

When you install software most of them has their default path in C:/Program files but this is not a compulsion to install them in C: drive, you can install them in any drive where you wish to install them. So try to make it some other drive than C: because they are more safe from any accidental damage to data.
By following above procedure once , you will be free to reinstall your windows anytime you want without worrying about your data .

Well a registry is a Database that contains all the information and required programs to run your computer well. Whenever a computer starts up or shuts down or launches any application, it needs its registries to back it up and help in making things work.

Fix Corrupt Registry

It can be assumed that a registry is like an Engine to your computer without it your computer is nothing but an assembly of spare parts leading to nothing. A computer cannot function properly and cannot give the required performance without a clean registry.

What really causes the corruption of the registries?


As you store data or install programs and run them over and over, there is a large amount of data that gets accumulated in the registry leading to its overloading and hence corruption.Such an overload affects the running of the system and signals you to clean up its registries soon.
Viruses and worms attacking at such a stage cause more damage to the registries leading to inaccessibility to certain folders and files. If still one does not take an action in cleaning up the registry, than it may lead to permanent lose of data or even cause a system crash. So cleaning up a registry should be taken very seriously and timely.

Well according to technician’s, registry cleaning should be done every week. This will help your system to keep functioning properly and error manifestation will be least. A registry can be repaired either manually by deleting the keys from windows registry or by repair softwares.
Cleaning the registry manually poses a great threat of deleting any relevant key by mistake so it is always suggested to use cleaning software that will remove all the unwanted or unused keys from the registry and make it clean from any malwares. They are Softwares which are very easy to use and scans your computer for all invalid entries in your registries and will also compress and defragment the registry so that it will become more compact.
One might wonder what kind of software one must use for registry cleanups and if it will be safe to use it? Of course we all worry about our data and do not want to lose it. So while choosing any software to clean up your registry you must check first if it is allowing you to back up your registries before clean up so that no one would end up losing any important registry. Secondly it should be user friendly.

Softwares that You can use to Fix Corrupt Registry


Ccleaner Helps you Fix Corrupt Registry along with Cleaning all Junk from Your Computer,But as said earlier it may even harm your Computer if such softwares deletes any important registry key.
So I will Recommend a Software which is specially Made to do this task, For eg :I am Using Registry Reviver, which is working like a charm for me, but you have your own choice, You can Search for the best Software available, and get it which you like the most to Fix Corrupt Registry.
