3. Set the required number of primary partitions if necessary. According to the DOS partitioning

scheme a hard disk can have up to four Primary partitions. If there is an Extended partition on

the disk, only three primary partitions are allowed. That is why if a GPT disk contains several

volumes the program enables to choose the number of primary partitions. The rest of them if

any will automatically be converted to logical disks within the Extended partition.

The program can only process dynamic GPT disks containing solid simple

volumes (without extension).

Changing Primary Slot

Different operating systems apply different approaches to enumeration of the primary partitions.

In Linux:

In Linux, every partition has a special symbolic name that encodes a hard disk containing a partition,

and a partition itself. Partitions are addressed and accessed by using their symbolic names. Symbolic

names are automatically generated by Linux in accordance with the order of hard disks in BIOS and

the order of partition records in the Partition Table. Thus changing enumeration of the primary

partitions can lead to changing of paths to some important resources.

In DOS:

The last versions of MS-DOS use a rather sophisticated algorithm for a drive letter assignment. A drive

letter, which is assigned to a partition, depends on the order of records in the Partition Table. Thus

changing enumeration of the primary partitions affects the drive letters assignment. In early versions

of MS-DOS, it could even lead to the unavailability of a partition.

The program provides the ability to change enumeration of the primary partitions. This feature will

allow you to fix problems concerning an inappropriate order of partitions.

In order to modify enumeration of the primary partitions you should take the following steps:

1. Select a hard disk on the Disk Map.
