Help with partition of 250GB SSD in Zepto NOX A15 notebook running Vista Ultimate 64bit
How do I partition a 250GB OCZ Value SSD placed in a Zepto NOX A15 notebook running Vista Ultimate 64 bit?
I am planning to buy this notebook with the 250GB SSD but I would like to know that it is fairly easy and possible to partion the SSD with out messing up the notebook.
Some forums mention that I have to partition the SSD in a desktop computer before setting it back in the laptop... So my questions are.
1. Is it possible to partition the SSD without removing it from the notebook? I would like the SSD to contain a primary C: system drive and a logical D: data drive.
2. If so, can it be done directly in Vista Ultimate 64bit using disk management or do I have to use additional partition software?
3. If so, what software would be recommendable for the purpose - also considering that I will be running Vista 64bit?
4. What is the procedure exactly?
5. Are there special considerations for me to make in this issue?
Thx in advance :-)

The SSD drive is seen in system just like other hard drive, and you will able to partition it. Do normal installation way and you partition the drive the way you want.

Hi Punky!
Thx for your answer. So if I understand you correct... If I just use my Vista Ultimate recovery CD and do a new installation my SSD will be recognized without any problems and I will be able to partition it like an ordinary harddrive?

I did on my system without issue unless the drive is defected, otherwise it is just like other drive. I dont have your type of notebook, in fact, I did on mine which is Asus Netbook.

Would it be possible to do in disk manager in a Vista 64bit session? Or is the described procedure the only way to solve my question?
