The sizes are dependent upon the total available space. All of the hard disk memory must be allocated to one partition or another. When you shift space from any partition, it will affect the space of the next partition.

Allot the sizes to higher number partitions in a “trickle down” method; pass memory from the lower numbered partitions to the higher numbered.

In the example above, partitions 1-4 would be the only ones affected by a SIZE change because 5 and 6 are not clear.

*Important: After changing the size of the partition, you’ll need to reset the SYSTEM and FORMAT.

Turning Partitions On or Off

Although you can segment the drive into 16 partitions, due to the restrictions imposed by the various operating systems, all 16 cannot be active at once. You can have four active partitions at one time under ProDOS and CP/M. DOS 3.3 and Pascal however, allow only two partitions at one time.

You can decide which partition you want to use during a particular session by turning them ON (*) or OFF (blank). When a drive is off (inactive), it will not be recognized by the computer but all data stored within that partition is saved. It’s like saving files to a disk and then pulling the disk out of the drive.
