9To increase compressed space (enlarge the compressed volume), move the slide bar to the left. To increase uncompressed space (shrink the compressed volume), move the slide bar to the right.

If you want to shrink the host for a compressed drive, move the bar to the right to create more uncompressed space on the host. You can then use PartitionMagic’s Resize/Move operation to make the host partition smaller. If you have already used Resize/Move to resize the partition larger and want to add more space to the compressed volume, move the slide bar to the left.

Operating System Boot Utilities

Both OS/2’s Dual Boot and System Commander 2.0 and above accommodate boot sector changes made by PartitionMagic. To install System Commander on drives that PartitionMagic has modified, you may need to use System Commander 2.06 or later.

If you have System Commander on your computer, you must configure it so that it does not simultaneously unhide multiple primary partitions. To configure System Commander so that it does not create multiple visible primary partitions, complete these steps for each operating system selection on the System Commander menu:

1On the Operating System Selection menu, select an operating system.

2Press <Alt+S>.

3Click Local Special Options ➤ Primary partitions accessible on drive 0. A screen appears with three options: All, Auto (the default), and None.

4Click None.

The other primary partitions will now be hidden when this operating system boots.

5Repeat steps 1-4 for all operating system selections on the menu.

Virus Protection Software

PartitionMagic modifies the master boot record and partitions’ boot sectors. Virus protection software should be able to detect that PartitionMagic is changing partition tables and not boot code; however, it is possible that unsophisticated virus protection programs may mistake PartitionMagic changes as attempts to install a virus. If this occurs, turn off the virus protection program while using PartitionMagic and inform the virus protection software manufacturer of the problem.
