We can easily manage partitions on our Hard disk drive at Microsoft Window Vista without installed any third party tools or applications. It also does not need to reboot the system and allowed to make the changes at anytime after installed the Vista Operating System on our computer.
To create a new partition at Windows Vista:
1) Just goto ”Control panel”
2) At Administrative Tools > select “Create and Format hard disk Partitions”
3) At Disk Management > Right click on C drive
4) Choose “Shrink volume”
5) Set the disk size to free up
6) Next your will see new empty partition appears > Right click on it
7) Choose “New Simple volume” to create new partition
8) Specify the Size for the new volume/partition
9) Assign the drive letter > Label the volume & Format > Done.
The following is the way to find out and command to display the basic specifications of a Linux System Hardware:
To view CPU information: - Processor number = n+1 (count from “0″) $ cat /proc/cpuinfo | less
To view Memory information:
$ cat /proc/meminfo
To view Hard disk drives:
$ fdisk -l | grep Disk
To view HDD partitions: (HDD1 = sda, HDD2 = sdb, HDD3 = sdc & so on…) $ df -h
To display the detail of particular partition:
(but these does not supported on SCSI disks)
$ hdparm -I /dev/sda | less
$ hdparm -I /dev/sdb | less
$ sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda
Scenario: The monitor screen suddenly rotating from normal landscape/horizontal view to portrait/vertical view while i using the keyboard.
I found the reason is due to the default enabled hotkeys feature on the built in Graphics driver as it happened to my system which running Microsoft Windows with the installed Intel Graphics Media Accelerator driver.
You can test the combination hotkeys as below:
Ctrl-Alt + Up or Down = +/- 180 degrees
Ctrl-Alt + Right or Left = +/- 90 degrees
To DISABLE this feature:
On Windows Vista : Start >> Control Panel >> Personalization >> Display Settings >> Advanced Settings >> Intel Graphics >> Graphics Properties >> Hot Keys >> uncheck to disable >> Apply OK to save the setting
On Windows XP : Start >> Control Panel >> Display >> Settings >> Advanced >> Intel Graphics >> Graphics Properties >> Hot Keys >> Disable the combination
