11.3 Partitioning data media
11.3.1 Setting 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:
Size of the card Partition Name
2 GB 4 GB 8 GB
File system
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 File system
1. Partition SYSTEM 25 GB NTFS (not compressed)
2. Partition DATA Remainder 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:

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.
