Question: I want to create a partition in my Windows 7 machine. Currently my system shows a single drive with 141 GB total space of which 27 GB is used. I want to create two more partitions without going through the process of formatting my system. How can I do this?
Answer: There are various applications available that can solve your purpose. You can download Easeus Partition Master Home Edition from partition-tool.com or Paragon Partition Manager from paragon-software.com. Both are free and allow you to create, delete or resize partitions without the need to format the entire drive.
Please make sure that you backup all your data before you partition your drive. Choose the option to resize the existing parition in both the applications and run the wizard to make the process simple. You will be required to enter the size of the new partition to be created so make sure to enter the exact size of the new partition.
Although the application offers the option to make multiple partitions at one go, we would recommend that you create only one partition at a time to avoid any issues. Once the partition process has started, it should not be interrupted by a power failure or reboot — this may cause the hard disk to crash and become unusable.

Question: I have recently bought an LG Optimus One. After setting up all the accounts I have noticed that my prepaid account balance gets deducted multiple times in a day without me doing anything. I am clueless as to why is it happenning. Kindly suggest a way to stop this.
Answer: The Optimus One runs Google's Android operating system. Since the phone syncs with your google and other social networking accounts, it is constantly checking for updates online. Even if you do not start the GPRS connection on your own, the phone is set by default to check for new emails, notification and updates in the background.
You can either disable background sync of the phone or just switch the GPRS connection off. To disable background sync, go to Settings > Accounts & Sync and on you will see options for 'Background Data' and 'Auto Sync'.
Uncheck both options to completely disable automatic updates. You can launch an app and manually refresh to get updates. Although this limits GPRS usage, it will not completely switch it off. To switch GPRS off, go to Wireless & Networks >Mobile networks and disable Data Transfers. Simply enable data transfer by repeating the same steps when you need to access data.
