Device drivers
More commonly known as a driver, a device driver or hardware driver is a group of files that enable one or more hardware devices to communicate with the computer's operating system. Without drivers, the computer would not be able to send and receive data correctly to hardware devices, such as a printer.
What devices need drivers?
Hardware devices that are unknown by the operating system or that have features that are unknown by the operating system all require drivers. Below is a list of hardware devices and peripherals that require drivers.
What devices may not need drivers
Today's operating systems have a lot of generic drivers that allow hardware to work at a basic level without needing drivers or software. However, if that device has features unknown to the operating system, it will not work without drivers. For example, you could plug any keyboard into a computer and expect it to work. However, if that keyboard has any special keys or features, they will not work until the drivers are installed.
Dual booting with windows and Linux
What is dual booting?
A dual boot is when you run two operating systems on one computer at the same time. This can be any combination of operating systems, for example, Windows and Mac, Windows and Linux or Windows 7 and Windows 10.
What does dual boot mean?
‘Booting’ is normally used interchangeably with ‘starting’ or ‘powering on’ when referring to computers. But in regard to dual-booting, the term specifically refers to something called the ‘boot manager’, a tiny program managed by the motherboard. When you turn on a PC, the power supply unit (PSU) initially powers up the motherboard, which manages and holds together all your other computer components. If you’ve ever seen a black screen with text and possibly logos on it after you’ve started your PC, but before it gets to the Windows login screen, this is the motherboard letting you know it is on.
The motherboard scans all the different components that are connected to it, such as graphics cards, optical drives (CD or DVD) and disk drives. Once the motherboard has established the state of your hardware, it knows that you will most likely want to boot into an operating system. To do this, the motherboard passes over the drive information to the boot manager.
Boot managers are software that can run on your computer before an operating system is loaded. Their task is to locate operating systems on your drives and start-up whichever you would like to use.
What Is Disk Partitioning
Disk partitioning is one step of disk formatting. It is the process of dividing a disk into one or more regions, the so called partitions. If a partition is created, the disk will store the information about the location and size of partitions in partition table that is usually located in the first sector of a disk.
With the partition table, each partition can appear to the operating system as a logical disk and users can read and write data on disk. And each partition can be managed separately.
Partitions are categorized as primary partition and extended partition. As we all know, a MBR disk can be at most divided into 4 primary partitions or 3 primary partitions plus 1 extended partition. And the extended partition can be divided into a number of logical partitions. As for a GPT disk, it can be at most divided into 128 primary partitions without extended partition.
How to Partition a Hard Drive
Partitioning a hard drive needs partitioning tool. The simplest one is Windows Disk Management. You can press "windows + R" and then type "diskmgmt.msc" to call out it. And then, you can right click the free space or unallocated space to create partitions.
And you can use the other features to solve other problems. For example, extending partition can solve low disk space problem of partition (especially the system partition). And shrinking partition can solve the problem that there is no un allocated or free space available for creation of new partition.
However, Windows Disk Management tool is so rough that some operations on partitions are inflexible and have many limitations. So, we recommend Mini Tool Partition Wizard, professional partition management software.
