Partition Table Editor

Warning: The Partition Table Editor should only be used by experienced technicians familiar with MBR partition parameters and in consultation with Arcserve Support. Modifying these parameters can render a volume unusable and require a restore. Use the Disk Map options and the BCU instead to work with partitions and correct boot problems.

Note: The Total Sectors value may show a minus sign on some occasions. Ignore this incorrect sign.

The Partition Table Editor provides basic configuration control of the MBR partition table. This table lists references to the four potential volumes on an MBR hard disk. Reviewing these parameters can assist in troubleshooting or repairing boot failures or lack of volume access.

The editor displays:

Field	Description	Options
Hard Disk	A designator specific to this partition editor only.	Subtract 1 from the value indicated to determine the Windows numerical designator (for example, DISK1 is DISK0 in Windows).
Type	A numerical designation in the partition table	Typical Windows partition types include 00 (unpartitioned), 07 (NTFS), and 0F (Extended Partition)
Boot	Indicates whether this is a system (boot) volume.	The editor lists the boot volume as 80. Others as 00.
Starting	Displays the values for the three parameters for the start of the partition: Cylinder, Head, and Sector
Ending	Displays the values for the three parameters for the end of the partition: Cylinder, Head, and Sector
Relative Sector	Indicates the number of sectors before the start of this volume.
Sectors	Lists the total number of sectors in the volume.
