<p>Here you can find answers to the most frequently asked questions that
might arise while using the program.</p>

<p class="whs1">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"><font size=1 style="font-size:7pt;">
</font></span>I try to run an operation, but the program claims my partition
is in use and suggests restarting the computer.</p>
<p class="whs2"> </p>
<p class="whs2">There are a number of operations that cannot
be performed while your partition is in use (or locked in other words).
Please agree to reboot your machine to make the program accomplish the
operation in a special boot-up mode.</p>

<p class="whs1">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"><font size=1 style="font-size:7pt;">
</font></span>I run an operation and restart the machine as required, but it
just boots back into Windows without accomplishing the operation.</p>

<p class="whs2">There can be a number of reasons for that:</p>

on the disk, only three Primary partitions are allowed.</p>

partition to a new partition.</p>

information about the disk layout: - The used partitioning scheme; - The
starting records of the Partition Table; - The standard bootstrap code
(or the initial code of boot managers, disk overlay software or boot viruses).
Generally, the 0th sector is used for similar purposes in all existing
partitioning schemes. The MBR capacity is not sufficient to contain sophisticated
boot programs. That's why the on-boot software is allowed to use the entire
0th track of the disk. For example, boot managing utilities such as LILO,
GRUB and Paragon Boot Manager are located in the 0th track.</span>
