Several days ago, I helped my friend to install windows 7 in his new Asus A42F laptop. As usual I plan to partite the hard drive into 3 part (1 for the operating system, 2 for data saving), after that the installation begin and always failed, but I don’t know what’s happened to his laptop, it show an error with Error Code: 0×80070017. Finnally I found the solution that don’t make partition first before installation, so the system automatically only use one partition that is all of the quota of the hard drive.

Could you imagine your new laptop that have 500Gb hard drive quota, only use one partition. I think this is not efficient, actually you will see the impact when you have to reinstall your operating system (would you mind to back up all of your data and copy them back). For windows operating system you might use the disk management tools to solve this problem. But again I say it isn’t efficient, because if you use the disk management tools in your windows, you only could divide it into 2 partitions. I mean here is you are using to many disk quota for your system, which should be use to keep your data.

The efficient way is to use another partition manager software to manage your disk partition. I will share one freeware that might be useful for it, called Partition Wizard Home Edition. Partition Wizard Home Edition is a free partition manager software designed by MT Solution Ltd. This partition manager supports 32/64 bit Windows Operating System including Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. Home users can perform complicated partition operations by using this powerful yet free partition manager to manage their hard disk. Functions include: resizing partitions, copying partitions, create partition, delete partition, format partition, convert partition, explore partition, hide partition, change drive letter, set active partition, and even for partition recovery.
