Manual Partition Operations
For example, Windows 98/Me, unlike Windows NT/2000/XP, does not let users assign
random letters to partitions, so you must move a partition to assign it the necessary
letter.
•
Work with some older OS (MS-DOS, Windows NT 4.0), that can boot only from binary
partitions located in the beginning of the disk
•
Speed up partition operations
For example, you might have a special partition for a swap file. If you move this partition
closer to the beginning of a disk, OS might work much faster with it.
•
Change partition configuration
If you need to move a partition to unallocated disk space:
1.
