Changing Partition Sizes

You can change the sizes of the C: and D: partitions using the Hard Disk Partitioning tool that appears
during the initial startup of your system. If you click the [Change] button, you can allocate the size you
prefer for the two partitions (but neither can be less than 50 GB). To do so, simply drag the New Setting
bar to change the size. Note that the backup images are stored on the D: partition, so if the size of the D:
partition is too small, you won't be able to store too many backup images using the MyRecovery tool.
If you would like to change the partition sizes in the future, you ca n do so by going to S tart > Control Panel
> Administrative Tools > Disk Management. Right-click and select either "Shrink Volume" or "Extend
Volume" from the menu that appears.
Understanding Hard Drive Capacity
It may appear that the hard drive capacity is lower than that stated in the system specifications. This is due
to the two different ways that are us ed to measure hard drive capacity: decimal and binary. Typically, hard
drive sizes are stated in decimal Gigabytes, however the computer's operating system recognizes the size
in binary Gigabytes. A deci m al Gigabyte equals one bill i on bytes; a binary Gigabyte equals approximately
1.074 decimal Gigabytes. In th e chart below, for example, the 500 GB (decimal) hard drive is equal to 466
GB (binary).
