Fair points them Sandra, so it is pointless installing programs on any partition other than the Active Primary one, as that is where they need to be to work, right ?
By the way, I was going to make the Primary Active bigger than 2G, it is just that I had to reduce it to 2 G so as to be able to copy it to 2G's worth of 'unallocated' space on my standbye HDD.
I'm sure having fun with this Partition Magic, it is virtually idiot proof
Just for arguments sake, and without me reading up Sandra ......blokes Huh, lets say you had a 15G, C: drive Active Primary Partition and two extended Logical partitions. Lets say one at 30G for personal data, and a 15G [hidden] one to store a copy of C: Drive on, not an Image, a Copy.
Could you reformat the Active Primary Partition, whilst leaving the Data and Hidden logical Partitions intact, so as to then be able to reinstall C: Drive by copying it from the hidden partition. Or would the two logical partitions go when you reformated the Active Primary Partition.?
I suppose I could try it realy on the 58G unallocated space I have at this moment in time
