On basic disks, marks the partition with focus as active.
|
Caution |
|
DiskPart verifies only that the partition is capable of containing the operating system startup files. DiskPart does not check the contents of the partition. If you mistakenly mark a partition as active and it does not contain the operating system startup files, your computer might not start. |
For examples of how this command can be used, see Examples.
Syntax
active
Remarks
- This informs the basic input/output system (BIOS) or Extensible
Firmware Interface (EFI) that the partition or volume is a valid
system partition or system volume.
- Only partitions can be marked as active.
- A partition must be selected for this operation to succeed. Use
the select partition command to select a partition and shift
the focus to it.
