Can you partition after window installation?

Yes you can ! My Windows 7 laptop came with it's 232 GB hard-drive equally split into two partitions. One has Windows on it, the other is the recovery partition. However - the recovery data uses less than 8GB of the space - so I moved the partition with the aid of Ease-US software (see related link). I didn't need to do extensive back-ups or re-load any software. It moved the partition seamlessly and safely - I now have a 200GB partition for use with Windows 7.

Wipe partition with MiniTool Partition Wizard How to wipe partition? It is not difficult. By employing the "Wipe Partition" function of MiniTool Partition Wizard, we can delete files thoroughly and they will never be recovered. In this window, computer usage information is being shown. If the files that will be deleted are in Partition H:, we need to wipe Partition H:. Select Partition H: and click "Partition" in tool bar. Select "Wipe Partition" in the drop-down list to enter the window of "Wipe Disk or Partition". There are five different wiping styles provided. The top two styles are quick but of low security. The below three are of high security but slow. We select wiping styles according to practical needs. Take "Fill Sectors with Zero" for example. Select it and click "OK". The software starts wiping partition. The main window will be shown after wiping and we can see the effect. In this window, Partition H: has been changed into unformatted partition and its space was run out because H: are filled with new written data and the original data is overwritten. Therefore, the deleted files can not be recovered

How do you restore do full system recovery on gateway Alt F10 and F8 do not work and I do not have to Repair option?

I had a similar problem with a Gateway FX-6800-01e running Windows Vista, except on my machine Alt+F10 does not work, but F8 does. The following is the procedure I used. (I based this procedure on information in the Windows 7 Resource Kit, so it probably works for that operating system as well.) There has to be an intact recovery partition on the hard disk in order for this to work. No guarantees, but this is what worked for me. DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO DESTROY ALL THE DATA ON YOUR HARD DISK, OR YOU ARE SURE THE DATA IS ALREADY DESTROYED! In the following procedure, when I say to enter something, I mean type the text between the quotation marks and then press Enter. (Do not enter the quotation marks.) 1. While the system is going through the boot process, press F8 repeatedly until Advanced Boot Options comes up. 2. Choose Repair Your Computer. 3. Log in using a user name other than Administrator. 4. Select Command Prompt. 5. Type "diskpart" and press Enter. 6. Enter "list disk" to display a list of disk drives. 7. Enter "select disk <x>", where <x> is the number of the disk drive that has the recovery partition. 8. Enter "list partition" and figure out which one is the recovery partition. (Mine was 10 GB in size.) 9. Enter "select partition <x>", where <x> is the number of the recovery partition determined in the previous step. 10. Enter "detail partition" to see information about the partition. (This may help you confirm that you have selected the recovery partition.) 11. Enter "active" to make the recovery partition active. (This automatically makes the previously active partition inactive.) 12. Enter "exit" to exit from the diskpart utility. 13. Enter "exit" to exit from the command prompt. 14. Click on Restart. The recovery partition should now boot, allowing you to restore the system to its factory default configuration.
