11.3.1Setting up the partitions under Windows Embedded Standard 2009

You need to set up the partitions on the CompactFlash card after installing a new drive, to repair corrupt partitions or to change the partitioning.

Partitioning the Compact Flash card

The factory state of the Compact Flash card includes the following partitions:

Partition	Name	Size of the card			File system
		2 GB	4 GB	8 GB
1. Partition	SYSTEM	1536 MB	2560 MB	5120 MB	NTFS
					(compressed)
2. Partition	DATA	Remainder *	Remainder *	Remainder *	NTFS
					(compressed)

*Due to partitioning/formatting, the actual Compact Flash capacity does not correspond to the memory size specified on the Compact Flash.

Partitioning the hard disk

The following partitions are configured in the factory state of the hard disk with Windows Embedded Standard 2009:

Partition	Name	Size
1. Partition	SYSTEM	25 GB
2. Partition	DATA	Remainder

File system

NTFS (not compressed) NTFS (not compressed)

Partitioning the SSD drive

The following partitions are configured in the factory state of the SSD drive with Windows Embedded Standard 2009:

Partition	Name	Size
1. Partition	SYSTEM	15 GB
2. Partition	DATA	Remainder

File system

NTFS (not compressed) NTFS (not compressed)

To restore the original partition to its factory state, we recommend the software tool SIMATIC PC/PG Image Creator. Detailed information about using this tool is available in the manufacturer documentation.
