GParted Live CD를 사용하여 Vista 파티션 크기 조절하기

 Vista의 경우, Diskpart나 디스크 관리자를 통해 볼륨(Volume) 축소(Shrink)/확장(Extend)를 실행하여 파티션 크기 조절이 가능하지만, 개선이 필요한 제약 사항들이 있어서 거의 사용되지 않았습니다.(Windows 7에서는 제약 사항들이 많이 개선되었습니다.)

 

 다음은 GParted Live CD를 사용하여 Vista 파티션 크기를 조정하는 방법입니다.

 

먼저 GParted Live CD ISO를 다운로드 후, CD에 Burning합니다.

 

다음, GParted Live CD로 부팅 후 아래 설명된 절차에 따라 파티션 크기를 조절합니다.

 

 The first drive is typically your boot drive, but you can check the Flags column to make sure.

 

Next you’ll need to right-click on the partition and choose Resize/Move from the menu.

 

Now you can either use the New Size textbox, or just click and drag the partition to make it smaller (or bigger). When you are done, click the Resize/Move button.

 

This doesn’t immediately apply the changes, though. You can make other changes to your partitions and then when you are finished click the Apply button.

 

Depending on the amount of data and the speed of your computer, it can take quite a while to resize the partitions. On my computer it took more than 30 minutes.

 

Once it’s done, quit, remove the live cd and then reboot your computer. Unless you are very lucky, you’ll be greeted with this horrible error message saying “Windows Failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.”

File: \Windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc0000225
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.

 

Here’s a screenshot of the error, but don’t worry, we’ll fix it.

 

Insert your Windows Vista installation dvd and make sure you boot off it. At the welcome screen click the Next button.

 

On the next screen, click the “Repair your computer” link in the lower left hand corner.

 

The system recover options dialog will show up, and will ask you if you want to Repair and restart, which we do.

 

If you happened to click the View details link you’ll see that the error is “Windows Device: Partition=Not found”, which indicates the problem is the partition that we resized.

 

Your computer will reboot, and you’ll see Windows Vista in the list although it now has a different name indicating that it was recovered.

 

When Vista first starts up, it will start running a check of the disk. Whatever you do, don’t hit any keys here because we want the system to check the disk.

 

Once it’s done it will reboot, and you’ll have Vista back up and running again!
