LockIng/Unlocking Partitions
Locking a partition protects that partition from being written to,
reformatted, erased or resized. A locked partition functions the
same as a write protected disk.
To lock or unlock a drive, while in MODIFY mode:
1) Move the cursor to the LOCK column of the partition
you want to lock or unlock. Locked partitions are
marked with an asterisk
(*).
2) Press the <return> key to toggle between locked and
unlocked.
Partition Names
Each partition can have its own name. The name you assign a
partition is an easy way for you to keep track of which partition
is which when setting the boot drive and active partitions.
The operating systems will not actually use these names except
as defaults when formatting. So, you could name a ProDOS
partition “BETH” under the Partition Manager, format the
partition using the default, BETH, then,under the Finder you
can rename it BETHS.STUFF.
Name Rules
Partition names basically follow the rules of ProDOS names.
These rules are:
1) Name can include letters, numbers, or periods but not
spaces
2) Name must begin with a letter
3) Name can be up to 10 characters long.
• Note: ProDOS actually allows names to be 15 characters
long, however, the PM allows only 10.
