Removable Media and Dynamic Disks
PartitionMagic is not designed to work on removable media or
Windows 2000/XP dynamic disks.
Selecting an Operation
After you have selected a disk or a partition, you can select an
operation using the action panel, toolbar, right-click menu, or menu
bar. If an operation cannot be performed on the selected partition,
the item appears dimmed on the menu and in the action panel.
• Click one of the operations on the action panel or the toolbar.
When you place the pointer on a toolbar button, a pop-up
window displays the button’s function.
• In the disk map or partition list, right-click the partition you
want to change, then click the desired operation.
• On the menu bar, click Partition, then choose the desired
operation. (If you are running PartitionMagic from the rescue
disks, click Operations on the menu bar, then choose the
desired operation.)
You can use PartitionMagic to create, resize, move, copy, and label
partitions—and more. For more information about the operations
on the Partition menu, see the online help or Chapters 3, 4, and 5
of the Norton PartitionMagic user guide.
You can perform some operations using wizards. Wizards combine
several operations into one easy process and do some of the
thinking for you. Wizards are listed under Pick a Task in the action
panel on the left side of the PartitionMagic main screen and on the
Tasks menu. For more information about wizards, see the online
help or Chapter 6 of the Norton PartitionMagic user guide.
