: If you skip bad sector checks and your hard disk has bad sectors, data loss
can result.
PartitionMagic lets you set this preference individually for each of your hard disks.
If your system has an older disk and a newer one, you could check the older disk
and skip the newer one. A check mark next to a disk means to skip bad sector
checking for that disk.
To enable or disable this preference:
1. In the main window, click General > Preferences.
2. In the Skip bad sector checks box, click the box next to the disk(s) you want
enabled or disabled.
3. Click OK.
Set as Read-Only for
PartitionMagic
This preference lets you prevent PartitionMagic from making any changes to a
hard disk. Exceptions include if the disk contains the boot partition, some files
may be changed, such as the Windows NT boot initialization file.
You can set this preference individually for each of your hard disks.
To enable or disable this preference:
1. In the main window, click General > Preferences.
2. In the Set as Read-Only for PartitionMagic box, click the box next to the
disk(s) you want enabled or disabled.
3. Click OK.
Creating Partitions
The Create operation lets you create primary partitions, extended partitions, and
logical partitions. On a single hard disk, you can have up to four primary partitions
or three primary partitions and one extended partition. Within an extended
partition, you can create unlimited additional subdivisions called logical partitions.
Generally, you should create primary partitions to install operating systems and
logical partitions for all other purposes, such as storing data and applications. If
you have multiple hard disks, you can improve speed by installing operating
systems and applications on separate disks. If you do not know what type of
partition you want to create, see “Understanding Partitions” in Basic Concepts in
the PDF version of the complete manual, located on the MRestore CD at
PQtools\userinfo.
