Chapter 3: Managing Partitions50
The copy is the same size (or slightly different if copied to a disk with a different
geometry) and file system type and contains the same data as the original.
You can also select a partition on the disk map and drag it to unallocated space, then
choose Copy Here or Move Here from the drag-and-drop menu.
Checking Partitions for Errors
The Check for Errors operation checks the integrity of a partition.
Each time PartitionMagic is started, it performs a check on all attached drives and their
partitions. If the check finds a problem, “Check failed” appears in the partition list
window under the Type column. This check is separate from the Check for Errors
operation and is not as exhaustive.
1 Select the partition you want to check.
PartitionMagic can only check partitions that it can lock (that is, partitions that do not
have open files on them). If there are open files on a partition, you should use the
operating system’s check utility (ScanDisk or CHKDSK) instead of the Check for
Errors operation or run PartitionMagic from the rescue disks.
2 Click Partition ➤ Check for Errors.
The Check Partition Results dialog appears.
If Check for Errors does not discover any errors, an Info entry appears with “Check
Complete” in the Description column.
