ABSTRACT:
A method of graphical representation of media partitioning and fixed disk data management utilizes manipulable graphical computer images to represent hard disk data storage space in a computer. The graphical images are manipulated by the user to define and position target installation partitions and to reposition existing partitions upon a hard disk. A partitioning subroutine program partitions and/or repartitions the disk according to the relative position of graphically selected partitions upon the image of the disk. The graphic images of the hard disk and the data partitions thereon are labeled with identifying legends to assist the user in selecting and manipulating the images.
