I don't think you need any extra partition manager tool for that. It can be done by using Windows 7 tools.

1. Right click on My Computer icon and select Manage.

2. Inside the Computer Management Window, select Disk Management, present under Storage in the Left hand side. It will show all the HDDs connected to your device and the partitions for each of the drives. In your case there will be a single HDD with a single partition of 750GB.

3. Right click on that partition and select Shrink Volume option. After some internal calculation the Shrink window will open up.

4. It will have the following fields:
i. Total Size before Shrink in MB (total size of the partition in MB) Read Only
ii. Total Size available for Shrink in MB (Total free space of that drive)
iii. Enter the amount of Space to Shrink in MB (Editable). Here provide the
amount of space you want to cut from the Partition.
iv. Total Size after shrink in MB (read Only). It will show what will be the size of the existing partition after shrink and will be updated automatically as per the value put in the 3rd field.

Once the selected value is provided in the 3rd field, simply click on the Shrink button and you are done. Remember, the OS drive, which is the only drive currently in your system, after shrink should have at least 50 GB of free space. So the 4th field should always have 51,200 MB or greater value.

Should i use aero(glass) or the basic theme for my windows 7?
i got the intel hd 3000 and gt555 and heard that basic uses cpu and ram while aero uses the gpu. since this is optimus i don't know wat gpu it will use but for gaming gpu wud be more stressed under aero.
my auslogics boost speed says tht my gpu(probably intel hd) natively doesn't supports aero effects and its safe to disable it for better performance. can someone let me know if i shud go ahead use the basic or keep the aero? playing with windows in aero is better than in basic where it drags under animation...

In the change advanced power settings, there's the intel graphics power plan.... right now it is set to balanced for me under both battery and plugged in.
Is it good to change it to maximum performance when plugged in and how would the laptop temperatures be goin' when my intel hd performs under maximum mode ??

Hi,

I have a problem with my new laptop (asus n55sf). It runs very slow and games become laggy when I unplug the AC adapter, even though I have the 'High performance' setting turned on. I use the laptop mostly for games and I don't want to have it constantly plugged it as I've heard it ruins the battery.

I've tried doing several things so far, like disabling the Intel SpeedStep in BIOS, changing all the settings to High Performance in 'Advanced Power Settings' and in nVidia control panel. Still, when I try to play games when on battery, they lag.

I'd like to know what are my other options to make games run smooth, and are they going to be harmful to the battery in any way? I don't mind the battery discharging quickly when I play a game, cause I can always plug in the adapter when the power is low. Although I don't want the battery to discharge quickly when I'm on the 'balanced' or 'power saver' mode.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

You can keep the aero. HD3000 can handle it.

Thank you and can you tell me where to buy this?
Flipkart is offering only blue color and dell India website do not have it in their listing anymore.

IDK. AMD based lappis are very few so can't say.

One suggestion- Throw battery out while playing. It will cool down the laptop also. Plus battery isn't ruined if continuosly charged, power gets autocut if battery is fully charged.

ok removing the battery and playing games on ac power is fine. But what if power goes off suddenly , the laptop will shut down immediately. can this be some kind of hindrance for not using the battery?? or.. it's not a problem if the laptop improperly shuts down once a day...?

Logically, this should does not create problem, but its not recommended as sometimes it may result in boot-failure. Otherwise, its fine.

Okay... i'm getting around 85 C max temperatures while gaming for an hour or two.
Is this temp harmful for the battery ...and upto what temps can the battery be left when using the ac adapter without damaging its life or getting it heated?

^Fine. But see, when you play while plugging in the battery, the moment till the battery is charged, it'd also contribute some heat to system. That's why its preferred to remove battery while playing. Otherwise no issues. :)
