Chapter 6: Common Partition Management Tasks56

Displaying Drive Information

The Display Drive Information option lets you view information about the partitions on

your current hard drive.

At the Drive Image DOS main screen, click Tools

➤

Display Drive Information.

From the Physical Drives drop-down list, choose the drive where the partition you

want information about is located.

Drive Information Displayed on the Screen (Partition Map)

Several Drive Image dialog boxes include a partition map that shows the partitions on your

hard disk. If the selected hard disk includes logical partitions, they are shown within an

extended partition. Partitions are color coded to indicate the file system type each uses.

For example, dark green indicates a FAT32 partition. In addition, each partition is shaded

to show used and unused space within the partition.

The partition map also shows unallocated space (space not assigned to any partition).

There are triangle indicators on the partition map to mark the 2 GB boot code boundary

and the 1024 cylinder limit. The boundary markers can help you as you restore image files

or set a new partition active. If your operating system requires the boot code to be within

the first 2 GB of the hard disk, for example, you can tell at a glance if the partition is

located in a place that will make it bootable.

A graphic display of your partitions will display, as well as a partition list.

Creating Extended Partitions

If you create an image of a primary partition and want to restore it as a logical partition,

you must first have an extended partition on your hard drive. For example, if you have two

hard disks that each include a primary partition (a bootable C: and a data partition D:) and

you are copying both partitions to a new hard disk that will be your master disk, you

would want the D: partition copied to a logical partition to avoid having two primary

partitions on the new hard disk. Primary partitions on the primary master drive should be

reserved for operating systems only.
