To reduce the probability of accidental partition deletion, the Disk 
Administrator asks for an additional confirmation. 

Here are the steps that lead to deleting a partition: 

1.  Choose the partition to delete from the list. 
2.  Select the Delete partition function (from the menu, toolbar or with the Del 

key). 

 

3.  Confirm deletion by pressing Y or clicking the Yes button in the 

confirmation dialog box. 

Deleting a partition may lead to changes in letter sequence that can be 
corrected only by the creation of an additional partition. 

If you have many partitions on a hard disk then giving them thematic names 
may help to identify them for easier work. For example if a partition is 
labeled GAMES, the type of information that is stored there is obvious. 

FAT16/FAT32 partition labels may be up to 11 characters long and should 
abide to the MS-DOS rules for file names. Spaces are allowed in labels. NTFS 
partition labels are limited to 32 Unicode characters. Disk Administrator 
displays and allows entering only the ASCII characters. Linux Ext2/Ext3 
partition labels can be up to 16 characters long, and, since their encoding is 
not known in advance, it is better not to use characters other than ASCII. 

To change a partition label: 

1.  Choose the desired partition in the list. 
2.  Choose the Edit label function (from the menu or with the Ctrl+L 

hotkey). 

3.  Edit the label in the dialog box. 

 

4.  Confirm the operation by pressing Enter or clicking the OK button in the 

lower part of the dialog box.
