How to partition an external hard drive?

Question

There are a lot of examples out there that illustrate how to use a custom rendering with rhandsontables, but unfortunately they all use a single worded css properties, like color or background.

How about two worded css-properties like background-color, background-image, font-size etc.? Replacing the hyphen(-) with a dot(.) doesn't work.

And using hyphens breaks the code and throws this error:

ReferenceError: invalid assignment left-hand side

In that code example, I want to assign a linear-gradient as background-image and change the color to red, if the value is "F". The red color happens, but no gradient appears.

How can I fix that?

library(rhandsontable)
library(shiny)

DF = data.frame(val = 1:10, bool = TRUE, big = LETTERS[1:10], stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

ui <- fluidPage(
  rHandsontableOutput("tbk")
)

server <- function(input, output) {
  output$tbk <- renderRHandsontable({
    rhandsontable(DF, width = 550, height = 300) %>%
      hot_cols(renderer = "
               function (instance, td, row, col, prop, value, cellProperties) {
               Handsontable.renderers.TextRenderer.apply(this, arguments);

               if (value == 'F') {
                 td.style.background-image = 'linear-gradient(to right, transparent, green)';
                 td.style.color = 'red';

               } else if(value == 'J') {
                 td.style.background = 'lightgreen';

               } else if(value == 'A' | value == 'x') {
                td.style.background = 'lightblue'}
               }")
  })
}

shinyApp(ui, server)

Solution 1

You first have to delete the volume. Then down in the bottom where all of the partitions listed you can create new partitions. NOTE: Deleting the volume will delete all of the files on the HDD.

This should help you: Create and format a hard disk partition

Solution 2

The Shrink option appears under the following conditions:

1. It is not the boot drive, system drive, page file, or Crash Dump drive
2. It is formatted as NTFS
3. There are movable files at the end of the volume
4. It is a dynamic disk

@Luke: Upvote for the edit. WD drives are not partitioned differently.

@TFM yes, correct, I thought it is different

@TFM Thanks, but my answer wasn't selected :P Thanks anyways though

"There are movable files at the end of the volume" - In this case you may have to delete files (if the hard drive is nearing full) and then run a disk defrag. Sometimes unmovable files appear at the end of the disk and can cause a bit of grief. Have a look here: howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/…
