Chapter 2: PartitionMagic Basics14
From the list of pending operations, you can choose to undo the last
change, discard all changes, apply all changes, or close the window.
If you are running PartitionMagic from the rescue disks, you cannot
modify pending operations from this window.
Applying Changes to Your System
As you complete tasks using the Partition menu (or the
Operations menu if running from the rescue disks), the disk map
and partition list reflect the changes you have made. However, no
changes physically take place on your system until you apply them.
You can perform several operations and then apply all the changes
at once.
To apply changes to your system, click General
> Apply
Changes, or click Apply in the action panel.
To discard the changes and start over, click General
> Discard All
Changes. With the exception of being able to undelete some
partitions, you cannot discard or undo changes after you have
applied them.
Applying Changes in Windows vs. Boot Mode
When you apply changes, PartitionMagic evaluates your system to
see if changes are being made to partitions where there are open
files (such as when you modify the C: drive while running
Windows). If there are no open files, the changes will be applied
while Windows is running. If there are open files, PartitionMagic
must go into boot mode to apply the changes. When prompted,
click OK to go into boot mode. You do not need to have DOS
installed on your system to apply changes in boot mode.
