5.13 Changing a partition type

This operation changes the partition type of a volume—a hexadecimal number that normally

identifies the file system or the intended use of the volume.

For example, NTFS volumes have a partition type of 07h.

By changing the partition type, you can “hide” the volume from the operating system.

To change a partition type

1. Right-click the volume whose partition type you need to change, and then click Change partition

type.

2. Select the desired partition type from the list—for example, 017h Hidden NTFS, HPFS.

3. Click OK to add the pending partition type changing operation.

The results of the pending operation are immediately displayed as if the operation was performed.

To perform the pending operation you will have to commit (p. 22) it. Exiting the program without

committing the pending operations will effectively cancel them.

5.14 Setting a volume active

This operation applies to primary volumes on basic MBR disks.

To specify the volume from which the machine will start, you need to set a volume to become active.

A disk can have only one active volume, so if you set a volume as active, the volume, which was

previously active, will be automatically unset.

To set a volume active

1. Right-click the primary volume you want to set as active, and then click Mark as active.

If there is no other active volume in the system, the pending volume setting active operation

volume will be added.

Note: By setting the new volume active, the former active volume letter might be changed and some of the

installed programs might stop running.

2. If another active volume is present in the system, you will receive a warning that the previous

active volume will no longer be active. Click OK in the Warning window to add the pending

volume setting active operation.

Even if you have the operating system on the new active volume, in some cases the machine will not be

able to boot from it. You will have to confirm your decision to set the new volume active.

The results of the pending operation are immediately displayed as if the operation was performed.

To perform the pending operation you will have to commit (p. 22) it. Exiting the program without

committing the pending operations will effectively cancel them.

5.15 Adding a mirror

Mirrored volumes provide fault tolerance by storing two exact copies of data—called mirrors—on

two different disks.

Adding a mirror to a basic or simple volume means converting that volume to a mirrored volume,

which involves copying the volume's data to another disk.
