Change partition

With Paragon Partition Manager you can easily adjust and optimize your hard disk. The following partition parameters can be changed:

Mark Partition Active/Inactive. Paragon Partition Manager enables the user to set Active/Inactive flag for primary partitions of the hard disk. By default the operating system will boot from the active (bootable) partition at startup.
Hide/Unhide Partition. Paragon Partition Manager allows the user to Hide/Unhide primary and logical partitions. The operating system does not mount hidden partitions, thus preventing access to their contents.

In addition, you can improve your system’s performance by converting your file system without destroying data. For example, FAT32 file systems provide the best performance for small hard drives (several GB), but NTFS provides more data protection in the event of failures.

While converting file systems, the program first checks the consistency of the current file system and then verifies whether the on-partition data meet the requirements of the desired file system or not. After completing the testing, the program re-organizes the file system metadata and user files.

Partition Manager converts the following file system types:

- FAT16 > NTFS, FAT32

- FAT32 > NTFS, FAT16

- NTFS > FAT16, FAT32

- Ext2 > Ext3

Changing cluster size may improve file system performance and reduce the amount of wasted free space. Cluster Size is one of the most important parameters of any file system. The Cluster Size value implicitly affects the performance since it defines the size of the file system metadata.
