When we create a new partition in Disk Management, some parameters are set by default if we do not customize them, including the cluster size. Usually the cluster size is 8 (4096 sector). Cluster size is closely related to the read-write speed and the hard disk utilization. Small cluster size is suitable for small files to save disk space, and large cluster size is more reasonable for huge files to save responding time. However, before you store so much files in a partition, you never know whether the partition cluster size is reasonable. Thus, after a period time of usage, you may find that the cluster size needs change. Well then, how to change cluster size of FAT32 partition?

When users find one of their disk partitions is not large enough to store new data, the first thought flash into their mind would be resizing partition. Or when users think their disk partition distribution is not reasonable, they tend to consider partition resize.

Yet, for ordinary users who often have many important files on disk partitions, they’ll definitely ask a question before really starting to resize partition – does resizing partition delete data.

I have recently upgraded to the Windows 10 anniversary version. I would like to extend my C: drive by merging the D: drive into it. Attached is the photo of my hard drive. How do I go about merging D: drive into C: drive? I would like to use Windows 10 disk management utility to do it. Is that possible? Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.”
The above situation shows you an example about merging partition. When using a hard drive, you may need to merge two partitions to one. Nowadays most of you pay attention to partition and disk management, especially merging partitions.

As most users know, the partition table is responsible for the displaying of partitions and data inside. According to Wikipedia, “a partition table is a table maintained on disk by the operating system describing the partitions on that disk”. In summary, partition table is very important for disk.

Yet, a lot of people saying they come across invalid partition table error in Windows 7. We think you’ll agree when I say: invalid partition table error is troublesome.

There are more than one partition manager which can be used to make disk partitioning. When you get a new hard disk and install it on your computer, you are not allowed to use it directly before partitioning it. Here, disk partitioning refers to the creation of one or more partitions on a hard disk, as well as repartition of the existed partitions.
