Actions
At the right side of each view is a menu of actions that
Partition Manager can perform. These actions are grouped into six submenus. To expand
a submenu, click on the

When Partition Manager begins, each submenu is collapsed. When you
change views, submenus that you have expanded will remain
expanded, and submenus that are collapsed will remain collapsed.
Not all actions appear in the menu in each view.
Some actions that do appear in the menu are disabled under certain conditions.
Actions that are disabled are dimmed in the menu and cannot be clicked.
Actions are enabled or disabled based on the current state of the
system and which objects are currently selected.
If you position the mouse cursor over the name of an action without clicking,
a pop-up tool tip will appear.
If the action is currently enabled, the text will explain what the action does.
If the action is currently disabled, the text will explain why it is disabled.
The following table shows the actions that are enabled in this view. Actions that
cannot be enabled in this view are not included.
To the right of each submenu and action is a brief
description, including any requirements for the action to be
enabled. If the required conditions are not met, then the
action will be dimmed in the menu, and it cannot be
selected. Click on an action name to go to the detailed
help for that action.
