Copy & rename partition
Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 12:01 pm
Hello All.
Im new to OSD Tool and I was hoping to use it to manually backup partitions and to later create a script to run the commands and therefore automate the process. However I have a problem, there doesn’t seem to be a way to rename a partition. I have read through the PDF manual several times but cant resolve this.
What I want to do is very simple and can be done from the Bootit BM partition works menu. By copying a partition and pasting it in unallocated space, it creates an identical partition and asked me for a new partition name. However in OSD tools the copy command just makes an identical copy of the partition but there is no way of specifying a new name and there is no rename partition command either.
I have attached a list of the partitions to show what I want to do.
I’d like to copy partition 83 (part4 win) into partition 82 (part3ci) but retaining the name part3ci or renaming it afterwards.
If I use command: copy partition 0 0x83 0 0x82 it says “the target partition area must be unused”
If I delete partition 82 (part3ci) and do the same command it copies partition but then I have two partition with identical names and can’t find a way of renaming one of them.
I’ve also tried adding a partition (not formatted) in that unallocated space and naming it part3ci, but then when I do the copy command I get the same error the target partition area must be unused”.
What have I missed or am I doing something wrong here?
Thanks in advance for any help.
