How to install a PE system on the primary partition of a mobile hard drive?
The process of installing the PE system onto the primary partition of an external hard drive can be done by following these steps:
- Prepare a bootable PE system image file, which can be created using tools such as WinPE or downloaded from the internet.
- Connect the external hard drive to the computer and make sure it is recognized properly.
- You can open the Disk Management tool by accessing it through the Control Panel in the Windows operating system, or by running the command “diskmgmt.msc”.
- In Disk Management, locate the primary partition of the external hard drive, which should be an assigned partition labeled as a “primary partition”.
- Right-click on the partition and select the “format” option, then choose the file system as either FAT32 or NTFS.
- After the formatting is complete, extract the PE system image file into the primary partition of the external hard drive.
- Depending on the boot method of the external hard drive, you may need to set it as the preferred boot device in the BIOS settings, or select to boot from the external hard drive through the boot menu.
- Restart the computer and make sure the external hard drive is correctly booted into the PE system.
Once the above steps are completed, the main partition of the external hard drive will have installed the PE system and can be used for system maintenance, data recovery, and other operations. Please note that installing the PE system will format the main partition, so be sure to backup important data before proceeding with this operation.
