"Whoops! My system crashed...": You may spend a lot of time to think about how to partition your hard drive. Once your computer get in troubles, such as system crashed, hard disk damaged, etc., your data such as photos, documents, files would be lost, accompanied by your partition results. No matter reinstall OS or change a new hard drive, re-partition hard drive would spend your energy again, what’s worse, you can’t find your data back anymore.
