Partition Manager 8.5

Major file systems use initial sectors of a partition to store the bootable code of an operating system. This area of a partition is generally known as the Bootable Area, or the Boot Sector (actually it takes up several sectors).

The program provides the ability to modify the Bootable Area size of the FAT formatted partitions without destroying data.

In order to start the operation the user should take the following steps:

1. Select a FAT partition on the Disk Map.

2. Call the Change Boot Size dialog to define appropriate settings. There are several ways to do it:

   Select in the Main menu: Partition > Modify > Change Boot Size…

   On the Explorer bar: click on the current sectors per boot value.

3. Define parameters of the operation with the Change Boot Size dialog.

Sectors per boot. Specify a new Boot Size value.

4. The operation will be performed immediately after confirmation.
