Good day!

For some reason, many users believe that the heart of a computer is a processor. (for some game lovers - a video card 👌)... But purely in my opinion - the most important piece of hardware in a computer / laptop is a disk (HDD / SSD).

Whatever hardware breakdown is (if it is not connected with the disk) - by replacing and repairing it, you will restore your work and continue it as if nothing had happened. But if the hard disk "flies", then it is not always possible to recover data simply...

Okay lyrics, on this page I want to collect the most necessary and useful programs for working with a hard drive. I give only the most popular and current programs, which I used myself more than once or twice.

HDDlife / SSDLife

I really like this utility for its clarity and focus on novice users. All you need to do is install the program, after a while you will find out:

• the state of the "health" of your disk in percentage terms;
• status about its performance;
• temperature;
• how much actual time he worked (not to be confused with age and date of manufacture).

The utility works in constant mode (minimized in the tray, next to the clock), and when alarms appear, it will notify you in time. What else do not experienced users need to diagnose ?!

Approx. : not only work on a PC is supported, but also on laptops, netbooks, etc. SSD drives are also supported.

Victoria

One of the most renowned utilities for testing and diagnosing disks. The program allows testing: HDD, FDD, CD / DVD, USB / Flash / SCSI.

Main functions:

• viewing complete information about the drive;
• support for IDE / SATA controllers;
• tests to check the "mechanics" of the disc;
• SMART monitor;
• low-level formatting and more.

In general, I must admit that the program is not very friendly and easy for novice users. It should be used with caution - here, as never before, it is correct: "if you don't know - don't press!"

MHDD

A very popular free program for diagnosing hard drives. Allows you to make a fairly accurate diagnosis of the fur. parts of drives, view SMART attributes, retrieve defective sectors (note:), it contains various tests, and other useful functions.

HDAT2

An excellent program for testing disks. Its main advantage over MHDD and Victoria (discussed above) is support for all drives with a wide variety of interfaces: ATA / ATAPI / SATA, SSD, SCSI and USB.

By the way, the program does not work under Windows, to run it you need to write a bootable media (USB flash drive or CD / DVD disc), and after booting from it, run the utility.

HDDScan

A very high-quality utility for checking HDD and SSD for bad sectors, viewing S.M.A.R.T., for setting up specials. parameters (power management, acoustic mode adjustment, etc.).

Temperature hard disk can be displayed on the taskbar (to be aware of how things are going 👌).

Supported drives:

• HDD with ATA / SATA, SCSI, USB, FireWire or IEEE 1394 interface;
• SSD with ATA / SATA interface;
• RAID arrays with ATA / SATA / SCSI interface;
• Flash drives with USB interface.

CrystalDiskInfo

Decent program for monitoring the health of hard drives that support S.M.A.R.T.

The program displays detailed information about your disks: interface, total operating time, firmware, serial number, standard, allows you to manage AAM / APM settings, (useful when your drive is noisy), displays S.M.A.R.T. parameters. (read errors, track seek time, number of on-off cycles, performance, spindle starts / stops, sector errors, etc.).

Cleaning the disk from debris

Advanced SystemCare

One of the best programs for cleaning your computer from junk, fixing errors, editing the registry, removing invalid shortcuts, etc. Allows you to tidy up your Windows in a few minutes and make it work much faster.

Using the program is very simple: just install and run. In my example below, I did just that - it turned out that there are enough problems (although I regularly use wizards to clean Windows ...).

Found problems after scanning in System Care

Also note that after installing Advanced SystemCare - a special manager appears in the upper right corner of the screen: it shows the current CPU and RAM load (in percent).

Thanks to this manager, you can take screenshots, watch the load of the disk, memory, processor, perform a quick cleaning, diagnostics. In general, it replaces the task manager ...

CCleaner

Free utility for comprehensive cleaning of your Windows. Cleans various garbage: temporary unnecessary files, "leftovers" from remote programs, browsing history in browsers (all popular ones are supported: Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc.).

there is portable version: which does not need to be installed. The program works in all popular Windows versions: XP, 7, 8, 10.

Wise Disk Cleaner

This program allows you to deep clean your Windows systems and hard drive from various debris. As much garbage as Wise Disk Cleaner finds - no other utility will find it!

In addition to its main purpose, the program has a built-in defragmenter. Defragmentation after cleaning has a very good effect on the responsiveness and performance of the hard disk.

Wise Disk Cleaner has a convenient and pleasant interface: all the main tabs are located on top, by clicking on one of them, you can quickly complete the current task. In general, some positive emotions from such software 👌!

Formatting, Breaking: Working with Sections

A very convenient and multifunctional program for working with hard drives. Its capabilities are more than enough for the average user, here you go: resizing the partition (no formatting), moving a disk partition, joining (merging) partitions (without loss of information), partition deletion, formatting, backup wizard, HDD to SSD migration wizard, and much more.

What is especially noteworthy: all operations with disks are performed using a step-by-step wizard, which at each stage will tell you what is used and for what purpose. Also, most disk operations are performed without data loss. (unless the program has warned otherwise).

Aomei Partition Assistant - what can be done with a HDD partition

Acronis Disk Director

A very powerful and reliable tool for managing disks and volumes on your computer.

Main functions: split and merge disk volumes, format disks (all popular file systems: FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, Exts, Ext3, Reiser3, Linux or SWAP), recovery of accidentally deleted volumes, the ability to load the program into offline(without using windows- for this you need to prepare in advance bootable USB drive) and etc.

MiniTool Partition Wizard

A very convenient harvester for working with a hard disk: it allows you to perform the entire list of operations that an ordinary PC user may need.

Main functions:

• Windows Migration Wizard to Another Disk / Partition (convenient, for example, when transferring Windows from HDD to SSD);
• partition copy wizard;
• recovery wizard;
• merging, formatting, splitting, deleting sections;
• Russian language support;
• works in all popular Windows: 7, 8, 10.

EASEUS Partition Master Free

The best free solution for Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8/7 / Vista / XP, which will help you create, delete, resize, transfer, expand, split, format, clone partitions of any disks: HDD, SSD, USB-drives (flash drives, disks, etc.), memory cards, and other storage media.

The program allows you to change the file system (from FAT32 to NTFS) without losing data, change the partitioning of the MBR disk to GPT, or the reverse operation - GPT disk partitioning to MBR (also without data loss).

In general, a convenient and irreplaceable manager for working with disks (certainly more convenient than the wizard built into Windows ...).

Defragmentation (for HDD)

If, when opening any files from a disk, your PC began to think, it does it slowly and not immediately, then in the most innocuous case, the reason is fragmentation.

To fix this disgrace, you need to carry out the reverse operation - defragmentation(such is the tautology ✌).

Defragmentation- the process of optimizing the storage of information on disk to ensure a continuous sequence of clusters.

In general, if you deviate from the incomprehensible terms, then after defragmentation your disk starts to work faster: reading and writing files is accelerated. Thanks to this, your programs become more responsive, it becomes more pleasant to work on such a PC!

By the way, Windows also has its own defragmentation wizard, but in my opinion, it does not work perfectly ... Therefore, I will give a couple of necessary utilities.

Auslogics Disk Defrag

Despite its compact size, this utility will give odds to many competitors! The program works very quickly, optimizes the file system, thereby accelerating your work. Needless to say, the program is used by over 11 million users worldwide!

Main functions:

• defragments files and unused space on the HDD;
• special attention is paid to defragmentation system files (which affects performance);
• you can defragment specific files (there are not many programs where there is this chip);
• the ability to work in the background (i.e., unnoticed by you);
• free for home use!

MyDefrag

A free and small utility for defragmenting HDD, USB disks, memory cards, floppy disks. By the way, the program has a very convenient setting of the start time - you can set up the work schedule so that the disk is analyzed and defragmented when you are not working at the PC.

Main functions of MyDefrag:

• there is a version working from command line(does not need installation);
• 2 algorithms for defragmentation;
• there is a scheduler (schedule) of tasks;
• the standard version of the program is automated and will not take a minute of your time to set it up.

Defraggler

Free defragmenter from the manufacturer of the CCleaner utility (Piriform Ltd). The program allows you to work both with an entire section of the disk, and with individual files and folders.

After analyzing the desired hard disk partition: the program will display a list of fragmented files. You can select the ones you want and Defraggler will quickly optimize their placement. As a result, you do not waste time defragmenting the entire disk. (in general, in some cases it is very convenient!).

The page will be updated with new software as you work with the site.

After purchasing a computer or installing new hard disk, as a rule, you will have only 1 partition on it. Let's talk about this today: how to divide a hard drive into 2 or more partitions. This example will be given on windows 7 OS using operating system without setting additional software.

How many partitions should there be:

For correct windows work 7, 1 partition "drive C" is enough. The system is installed on it and nothing else is needed for it. it has all the necessary folders. But, from the point of view of convenience and own security, at least 2 partitions are recommended, this is drive "C" and drive "D". Why 2? It's that simple! It is advisable to leave the C drive only for windows and programs, and use the D drive for games, music, movies, photos, etc. Thus, in the event of a failure and reinstall windows all important information will not suffer.

How to split drive C into multiple drives

In order to partition the disk into partitions, open: Start menu, control panel. Next, we will have to work with the System and Security tab.

That's it, we have come to the right place and there should be such a window in front of you:

To see which partitions are already installed, open "Disk Management". The operating system is usually located on the "C" drive, so you need to be careful when working with it.

To split drive "C" into partitions, right-click on it and select "Shrink Volume".

In the new window that opens, enter the desired size for the new partition:

Now click "create". In the window that opens, enter how much you want.

In a new window, on an unallocated area, right-click and select “create simple volume” as shown below:

Done. You can get to work, but it is advisable to restart your computer.

Program for partitioning HDD into partitions

Personally, I prefer to do without third-party programs, if it is possible to do with windows, I do so. I already wrote above how to partition an HDD without a program, now let's look at alternative way using third-party software.

For example, I took the most simple, free and very convenient program "disk manager free"

Uploaded it to Yandex disk, you can free download- https://yadi.sk/d/c0A22sBs3ReiFh

Installation and use is as easy as a door. To partition the disk, you need to do everything the same as in the example above without programs. As you can see, there is no sense from it, in my opinion, and it is better to do everything as in the example above, without downloading anything.

The efficiency and usability of the system depend on the condition of the hard disk. Cluttered media slows down performance, slows down the system, and is more prone to errors and crashes. Adequate disk management and the use of customizable partitions improve its performance, increase comfort, and positively impact the security of data and equipment. There are many tools and programs for working with a hard drive. Some of them differ only in graphical interface and price.

Choosing a program for working with hard disk partitions.

GParted is an advanced hard disk partitioning program that does not run through the operating system. Once downloaded, the program is offered as an ISO disc image to be burned to a CD / DVD. After burning, restart your computer and choose to start from CD / DVD. The program allows you to create, delete and resize an existing partition. A big plus of the program is the ability to change the size of the partition on which the system is installed. The program supports most of the known file types, including fat16, fat32, ntfs, ext2, ext3 and ext4. Before any operations on partitions, it is recommended to perform their preliminary defragmentation and back up the most important files. Partition resizing can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.

How to use the program:

1. Create backups important files!
2. Download the GParted program and burn it to disk.
3. Insert the disc into the drive and restart your computer.

5. Once downloaded, select GParted Live from the list.
6. Click "Don’t touch keymap".
7. Select the language (Russian - 24).
8. "Which mode do you prefer?" - 0 and confirm with ENTER.
9. The search will begin for all available hard drives and partitions that have already been created on them. This may take a few minutes.

1. If you need to repartition the disk, first delete any previously created partitions. To do this, delete them one by one (the "Delete" trash can icon). If you don't have any sections yet, skip this point.
2. In the list with sections, click on a place with unallocated space. Then click on the white sheet icon ("New").
3. In the window that opens, you need to set the parameters for the new partition: size, partition type (primary, extended or logical) and its file system, partition name. Then confirm the addition of the section with the "Add" button.
4. After creating the section, confirm the actions by selecting green icon Check marks. The program will start creating partitions. This may take a few minutes.
5. The next step is to close the main window and double click on the "Exit" icon.
6. Reboot your computer.

After the reboot, the new disk partitions will be ready for use.

One of the most convenient programs for working with disks - EaseUS Partition Master - supports RAID devices. The application is equipped with a Wipe module, thanks to which the user can permanently erase files so that their recovery is impossible (especially useful before selling a hard drive). Each operation requires additional confirmation and becomes the first in the queue, so the risk of error is minimal. Let's see how to use this program to organize a disk that contains too many or too few partitions:

1. Download the program and run the installation.

IMPORTANT. Do not download additional tools during installation.

1. After the application is installed, start the partition management to go to the management.
2. Select the drive you want to format, right-click it and select the "Delete data" option.

IMPORTANT. Formatting the disk means that all data will be permanently deleted.

1. The task is added to the list of pending operations in the window on the left.
2. Then select the "Create section" option.
3. Then you need to customize the new partition, select its size, enter a name and select a letter. After entering all the data, click "OK".

You can create multiple partitions on a disk, but remember that if you create a partition on a USB drive, Windows will only be able to read the primary partition.

1. To complete all tasks in the Pending Operations list, simply click Apply Changes.

How to create a new section:

1. Select the system partition.
2. The Operations panel displays the available functions.
3. If you are using a hard drive, defragmenting the partition is recommended first. Select "Defragment", then click "OK".
4. After defragmentation, select Resize / Move Partition.

In the next window, drag the borders to the left with the pointer - this will reduce the size of the system disk.

1. If you are performing operations SSD markup, check the "Optimize SSD" box.
2. Click "OK" to confirm the operation.
3. In the Apply Changes window, click Yes. A message appears asking you to restart your computer. Click Yes. The disk will be partitioned and the computer will reboot.
4. Start EaseUS again. Click in the white space and in the Actions panel select Create Sections.
5. If it is an SSD, then check the "Optimize SSD" box. Click OK. The unallocated space will be formatted as a new disk.

Merging sections:

1. In EASEUS Partition Master, select the partition on drive C. In the Actions panel, select Merge Partitions.
2. Select the second section, it should be the adjacent section. Select the destination drive from the list. Files from the second section will be placed in separate folder... Click OK, then Yes. The sections will be merged.

The program also has a diagnostic module that allows you to search for bad sectors and manage the structure of the hard drive. An important feature is pre-separation before approving changes, which gives the user full control over the planned actions. The rest of the programs in the review work according to the same principles as the ones described above.

One of the best programs for working with hard drives, supporting hard drives with a capacity of more than 2 TB. Each partition can be archived as a backup, which allows data recovery after a possible failure. The user can also change the file system from FAT to NTFS, and there is no need to reboot the system after every resizing of the NFTS partition. The application is equipped with interesting modules, including a disk map, which shows a graphical view of partitions on a disk, Disk Surface Test, which offers basic disk diagnostics, and a Partition Surfece Test, which analyzes a specific partition.

Free utility for Windows 7 and later operating systems Microsoft systems... Created on the Visual environment Operating System(ViOpSys) and is launched from a bootable CD / DVD at system startup.

To work with partitions of a hard disk (dividing into partitions or combining them into one) in the Windows 10 operating system, there is a built-in utility " Disk management". Its use, in my opinion, is preferable to installing any third-party tools. How to divide the hard disk by their own means "dozens" or, conversely, combine its sections, you can read in separate articles on this site: to split and unite... But sometimes situations arise when it is quite difficult to do without third-party tools.

This article was written in response to questions from readers of the site who have problems dividing a hard drive or merging its volumes. The Disk Management utility built into Windows 10, despite all its advantages, has its drawbacks: sometimes it does not allow you to create a partition of the required size, from time to time it does not allow you to partition the hard disk at all, sometimes it is not possible to combine the required volumes into one. In these problematic situations (and only in them!) I recommend using a third-party, albeit free program for managing hard disk partitions in the top ten. It is worth remembering that using any third-party operating system management tool can be potentially dangerous. I am not inclined to dramatize the situation, but I think that I must warn about it, even if the probability possible problems is one chance in ten thousand. Therefore, whenever possible, it is best to use the Windows 10 built-in Disk Management utility developed by Microsoft.

When I was preparing this article, I spent several hours of time to find a truly completely free, reliable and reputable a program for dividing a hard disk into partitions(or their combination). There are a lot of outright lies and dubious programs of unknown origin in this area. A separate item in my search was the question that the found software was not only free, but also had a Russian-language interface and also turned out to be completely compatible with Windows 10... The last question is far from idle - the fact is that on the Internet you can find information about how some disk partitioning programs created for Windows 7 or 8 ruined hard drives for Windows 10 users.

So, as a result of a long and careful search, I nevertheless found and tried the program myself AOMEI Partition Assistant... In general, its full version Professional Edition costs from $ 59 and much higher. But don't let that scare you, because the functionality of its free Standard Edition branch is quite enough to:

• Divide hard disk into partitions
• Combine hard drive volumes into one partition

In general, the presence of a paid version only speaks in favor of this software. After all, this testifies to the seriousness of the intentions of its authors. Those who create programs for money, for sure, make worthy solutions for free, albeit with somewhat limited functionality (moreover, it will be enough for us). Another proof of the authority of AOMEI Partition Assistant, in my opinion, is the presence of an article about it in Wikipedia. By the way, if you doubt the reliability and safety of a particular program, always check through a search engine to see if Wikipedia writes about it. This, of course, is not a 100% guarantee, but nevertheless, since this electronic encyclopedia strives for maximum objectivity, in the articles about software you can find information about possible " pitfalls»This or that program. It is there, in Wikipedia, that it is better to take a link to the official website of the program. The fact is that in search engines, the first places are often taken by not the official sites of certain programs.

On the official site AOMEI Tech I immediately found Partition Assistant section... We go down on this page a little down, to the second screen. There for download free version the program we need to manage the hard disk, we find the item Partition Assistant Standart Edition and (of course) click "Download". Do not be alarmed that the site is in English, the program itself has an official Russian-language localization. Please note that there are several options for downloading this program for different needs on the page - for free home use, choose the version Standart Edition.

The installation process is not complicated at all. First, it is proposed to select a language, then traditionally accept an agreement on use, if necessary, select a folder where the program will be stored - that's, in general, that's all. After installation, the program will automatically start if at the last stage you leave a check mark on the "Run this program" item.

I will not consider all the options for using AOMEI Partition Assistant to manage a hard disk. I will analyze in detail only the question of how this free program to split hard drive into several partitions in Windows 10... Everything else (including, merging volumes) is done by analogy.

Partitioning a hard drive with the free AOMEI Partition Assistant in Windows 10

When the program starts at the bottom of it, all physical hard drives installed on your computer or laptop, as well as partitions existing on them, will be displayed. In order to divide a disk into several volumes, you first need to "pinch off" a piece of space from an existing partition. To do this, stand on the donor volume and, by right-clicking on it, select “ Resize Partition».

A new window will appear in which you need to specify what size you want to leave the existing volume. The rest of the space will be freed up for the new partition. I left the C drive with 150 GB. Click OK.

Now we see that we have free space labeled " Unoccupied". We need to create a new section (volume) on it. To do this, click again with the right mouse button on it and select the item " Creating a section».

The pop-up window appears again. In it, we leave everything by default and click OK.

After that, a new section will already appear on the program screen. It would seem that one can rejoice. But it was not there. It turns out changes on the hard disk itself have not yet been made! For the operation to be completed, you must press the button at the top " Apply».

Typically, a computer restart is required to complete the operation. This is what a new window in the AOMEI Partition Assistant informs us about. Click it "Go". It is better to leave the checkbox opposite the item "Check partitions before execution". It will allow the program to check sections for errors before dividing.

After that, a new window will appear again with a warning about restarting the computer. We agree and click "Yes".

After the reboot, the actual physical division of the hard disk into two sections begins. It occurs before the Windows 10 operating system boots in PreOS mode.

Personally, this process took me a couple of minutes. Most likely, the fact is that on the shared hard disk I had nothing but the a clean-installed Windows 10 and several programs. Therefore, it did not take much time to move the files. If the computer is weak, and there is a lot of information on the disk, then the division process can take much longer. My computer rebooted twice and then started normally. After that, a new section appeared in the conductor, and the existing one became smaller.

Let me remind you that by analogy with this instruction in Windows 10 can merge hard disk partitions with free AOMEI Partition Assistant.

I foresee a question from some caustic readers of my site, why I have considered only one free program for managing partitions of the hard drive on the "top ten". Will explain. The fact is that the rest of the programs I studied did not suit me for various reasons: some of them did not have the Russian language (and for many this is important), others had too much functionality in the free version, while others raised doubts about the plan security for the operating system and compatibility with Windows 10. In addition, I absolutely do not see any reason to look for something else to solve the rather rare problems. I believe that the considered software copes with the assigned tasks with a bang and has undoubted advantages over all others. free software which I have studied. So why then bother yourself and others with unnecessary information?)
