  1. Is it safe to install MalwareBytes on the D: partition of HDD?


    I have a small SSD. For programs where speed is not essential, I install these on the D: partition of my HDD.

    Does it cause problems if I install MalwareBytes on D: ? It's the paid version.

    I plan to do a simple uninstall, followed by an install of the latest version.

    Thanks.

    :)

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

    HDD partitions format

    Used a tool from the list and it worked..
    Install won't start if windows can't recognize the partitions.

    Getting a new PC tommorow...

    • Set up your hardware
    • Insert CD/DVD install
    • Format a partition of 30GB as a quick format
    • Install the OS
    • Create a new partition D: for data, and S: for setupfiles
    • Put all your install files into S
    • Before installing, run windows update
    • Once up to date, reboot
    • Install AV
    • Update AV
    • NOW install any drivers
    • And then any software
    • Top Utils: ccleaner, defraggler, tclock, utramon, winrar, irfanview, wordweb, malwarebytes, speedfan,
    • Now create a partition copy of your C: into a hidden partition. If you evey need to reformat, you just copy the setup from the hidden partition
    • You might want Acronis Disk Director to do the previous step. Easy
