How to remove the "Active" mark on partitions.
Hey Hi,
There are other hard drives on my computer, beside the System&Boot hard drive which I run the OS from, that are marked as "Acitve" aswell. I'm not sure how they became to be marked as active and now I'm looking for a way to remove the active mark
from them.
Would appreciate any input.

Hello SpiritSentinel
Open an elevated cmd prompt.
run diskpart
select disk <0> or whichever disk the partition is on that you wish to change
then run select partition <2> or whichever partition you wish to change.
Then enter inactive.
for example:
DISKPART> select disk 0
Disk 0 is now the selected disk.
DISKPART> select partition 2
Partition 2 is now the selected partition.
DISKPART>inactive Thanks, Darrell Gorter This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights
