Formatting Partitions

The Format operation formats a partition, destroying all its data in the process.

 

Formatting enables you to put a different file system on a partition. To ensure that

 

you do not accidentally format a partition, you must first type the volume label. If

 

you did not assign a volume label when you created the partition, you must type

 

NO NAME to confirm deletion.

NOTE:

PartitionMagic has several conversion options that let you convert from one file

 

system to another without destroying existing files in a partition.

 

To format a partition:

 

1. From the Disk drop-down list (located on the toolbar), select the disk with the

 

partition you wish to format.

 

2. On the partition map or in the partition list, select the partition you want to

 

format. On the toolbar, click the Format icon. The Format Verification screen

 

appears:

NOTE: You can also click Operations > Format on the menu bar or right-click the partition and click Format on the Context menu.

3.Type the current volume label.

4.Click Continue to verify your intent to format the partition. The Format Partition screen appears:

5.From the Partition Type drop-down list, select the desired file system type.

6.If the partition is too small or too large, some partition types may not be available. If you wish, type a label for the partition.

7.Click OK. In the lower right corner of the PartitionMagic main window, click

Apply.

8.Click Yes to confirm that you want to apply the changes.
