John installed a fresh copy of Windows XP on his computer. During the installation he partitioned and formatted 50 GB of the 400 GB hard disk for the C drive. The remaining disk space is not partitioned. How can he easily partition this now?
Explanation
Answer - C - To partition your hard drive on the Windows GUI, navigate to Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management, and partition the hard drive.
Key Takeaway: Apart from partitioning and formatting your hard drive during the installation, you can also partition the drive from the Windows GUI. Once you are in the Disk Management window, you can create, delete, and format partitions, logical drives, and volumes. You can also assign or modify drive letters for hard disk volumes, removable disk drives, and CD-ROM drives, and convert basic disks to dynamic disks.
