The document outlines an educational activity on operating system installation and disk partitioning for students, divided into groups to complete steps and demonstrate understanding. It covers essential concepts of disk partitioning, including the importance of organizing hard disk space and how to compute necessary disk sizes. Additionally, practical tasks and a quiz assess students' comprehension of the subject matter.

Teacher III

2. ACTIVITY 1.
EXIT PASS TICKET
Direction.
• The class will be divided into two (10 students per group).
• Each group will be given the 10 steps of OS installation.
• Each member will get one sheet from the provided material.
• Arrange yourselves from left to right showing the correct steps of OS
installation.

final and correct.
• The 1st
group to get the correct process will have an automatic exit pass.

3. LET’S CHECK
• Prepare your installers or bootable device

• Press and hold Del of F12 to enter the BIOS page
• Set the Boot Order
• Select your bootable device
• Save your settings and exit the BIOS
• Create disk partition
• Follow the on-screen prompts

4. LESSON OBJECTIVES
1. Describe disk partitioning and explain its importance
2. Compute the specific size of each disk based with end-
user requirements
3. Perform Operating System installation complying the disk
partitioning requirement of the end-users

4. How many drives do we see? What
are those?

6. ACTIVITY 2. COMPLETE ME EVEN
YOU LIKE OR DISLIKE ME
Direction.
• You will be given like or dislike flash card.
• You have to raise the LIKE card if you agree with the
word/s to fill in into the blank in order to complete
the paragraph.

7. WHAT IS HARD DISK?
A Hard Disk is a main ______________ (primary / secondary)
storage
located _______ (outside/ inside) the computer case.
It has the ___________ (smallest / largest) space or memory
among storage devices.
It is _______________ (magnetic / optical),
_________________ (Volatile/ non-volatile)
and stored data __________________ (temporarily /
permanently).
This means that data ___________________ (lost / retained)
in the disk even when the power is off.
secondary
inside
largest
magnetic
Non-volatile
permanently
retained

8. WHAT IS DISK PARTITIONING?
•Partitioning - dividing, segmenting or slicing
something into smaller parts, pieces or section.
•Disk Partitioning - dividing the hard disk into
multiple and smaller drives or regions logically,
each region is called partition which can be
managed separately. This step should be done
before any file system can be created or any
files can be saved.

9. GUIDE QUESTION
1. Why is it necessary to partition the disk?
Note: putting some cash in one place, then fire or thieves
broke
2. How should we allocate each drive?
3. How much should be allocated for each drive?
Note:
Disk partitioning is about equity not equality, whichever needs
most should be given bigger size. (Ex. division of property in
the family)

10. • Disk came with single partition (manufactured);
this means that we keep our data, files, applications and
even our operating system on that same drive.
->when something will happen that may corrupt or
damage to the partition’s index file - the file that tells your
computer the specific location of your files inside your
computer, it cannot work on it.
And even if you boot up through external drive or
recovery disc, still you cannot access the rest of your
data. That is the most reason why disk partitioning is
important.

11. • every partition of hard disk is treated as separate
entity.
• -with this, you will organize your files on separate
partitions,
• -this will protect your files because it can be easily
backed up using the other disk.
• - you will be less likely losing your data on accident.
• - if you need to reformat your computer and reinstall
your operating system, you won’t need to bother
about restoring your backup data.

12. HOW TO COMPUTE THE SIZE OF
DISK DURING DISK PARTITIONING?
Example #1
Let’s say that your computer has a 512GB hard disk
capacity and you need to make two partitions, with the
following requirements:
Drive C: = 200 GB
Drive D: = Remaining Unallocated Disk
Note: Your computer needs 500MB for System Reserved

13. Example #2
Your client wants you to install a new operating
system and create 3 partitions of his 512 Gigabyte
hard disk drive with the following requirements:
C: = 100 GB
D: = 50%
E: = 50%
Note: 500 MB is to be used for System Reserved

14. Example #3
Your client wants you to install a new operating
system and partition his 512 Gigabyte hard disk
drive with the following requirements:
C: = 40%
D: = 60%
Note: 100 MB is to be used for System Reserved

15. ACTIVITY 3.
STOP BY IN STATION
Direction.
•The class will be divided into 5 groups (4
students per group).
•Every group should go to the assigned station
to answer/ do the task for 3 minutes each
station then move to other station.
•Bring your accomplished task sheet.

21. STATION 5
E. Count on Me.
Ethan just bought his new personal computer and asked you to
install Windows 8 Operating System. In addition, you have to
create 3 partitions in his 1 Terabyte hard disk drive, namely C:,
D:, and E: with 400GB, 60% and 40% capacity respectively.
During the partition process, you noticed that 500MB was
allocated for System Reserved. Compute for the corresponding
megabytes to be allocated in each partition and complete the
table below.

23. PRACTICAL
Demonstration of the process
Hands-on (Student will do the following)
In your CSS workshop or laboratory, perform a Windows 7
Operating System Installation following the requirements below.
1. Create a two hard drive partitions.
2. Allocate 45% of your disk to your Drive C:
3. The remaining space will be allocated to the second
partition.
4. Lastly, fill in the table below.

24. ACTIVITY 4. PARKING WALL /
