You then, want to create an extended partition, where you will create many different "logical" partitions inside. </p> http://vistarewired.com/forum/topic/hard-disk-partition#post-64 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 06:40:38 +0000 Satyajeetsingh.gour 64@http://vistarewired.com/forum/ <p>Hi Mr. Administrator,<br /> Actually one of my friend informed me that on one hard disk we can have max. 4 partitions. is it correct.<br /> if yes then how is it possible to make one more partitions. As said earlier i wish to have one more partition for keeping my data separate from system files.</p> <p>Thanks </p> http://vistarewired.com/forum/topic/hard-disk-partition#post-63 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 19:25:01 +0000 al 63@http://vistarewired.com/forum/ <p>I'm not sure what EISA stands for, but if I remember from my engineering classes, it stands for Extended Industry Standard Architecture and is completely not related xD.</p> <p>To answer your question, those other partitions are probably for other functions of the computer.</p> <p>To create a partition, go to disk management. You can type it in the Start Menu search. You need to resize C. I don't think it's safe to play with the other partitions.</p> <p>Use EASEUS partition manager for the job if Windows is giving you problems. </p> http://vistarewired.com/forum/topic/hard-disk-partition#post-62 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 09:24:27 +0000 Satyajeetsingh.gour 62@http://vistarewired.com/forum/ <p>Hi everybody,<br /> Recently i have bought Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with T7250 processor, 160GB HDD, 3GB RAM, OS is Windows Vista Basic home.<br /> It is showing only 2 partitions(drives) C:\ (For OS) and D:\ drive for dell recovery drive.<br /> But in Disk management it is showing four partitions as follows : C (140GB), D(10GB), EISA (78MB), &#38; around 3 GB for DellMedia Direct.</p> <p>I wish to have one more partition as E:\ drive.<br /> Is it possible.<br /> please help me out.</p> <p>Thanks &#38; Regards </p> http://vistarewired.com/forum/topic/hdmi-35mm-and-such#post-57 Sun, 12 Oct 2008 20:10:28 +0000 Alcavo 57@http://vistarewired.com/forum/ <p>This is perhaps more of a hardware question, but I'm not sure where else to ask. I do run Vista Home Premium (does that allow me into the club? hee hee)</p> <p>I own a Sony Vaio VGN-FW140E laptop, which has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a HDMI port. Basically, I want this thing to play audio on some speakers, which are 5.1 surround sound.</p> <p>I know I would be able to use the headphone jack via a mess of cables and adapter boxes, but won't this will reduce the wonders of 5.1 to 2.1? I figured I could use a "(green)3.5mm to (red and white)RCA" Y-cable and then a "(red and white)RCA to 3-3.5mm cable" adapter. This would give me the one 3.5mm to three 3.5mm conversion I need. (For some reason, I couldn't find any adapters that give a direct conversion.)</p> <p>On Amazon, you can search for:</p> <p>Cables Unlimited AUD-1205-06 6-Feet Pro A/V Series 6-Feet 3.5mm to RCA Stereo Audio Cable<br /> and<br /> 5.1 Game Console Adapter Convert Rca Plugs To A Single 1/8</p> <p>Those are what I was planning on using, or something similar.</p> <p>Now, I been glancing every now and then at this HDMI port on the side of my laptop, wondering what hidden powers it has. Would it be possible to play just audio through it? i.e. find some sort of HDMI to 3-3.5mm converter box? I don't know very much about HDMI, (I don't have an HD TV or Blu-ray player, etc.) but I believe it can pump out 5.1 sound.</p> <p>Does anybody know anything about this? If not, does anyone know of another forum that addresses topics like this?</p> <p>By the way, I have a Reltek Highdef audio driver if that makes any difference..(how good of a sound card is that anyway?)<br /> please tell me if you need any more information. I await your advice.</p> <p>Thank you,<br /> A </p>
