It doesn't "mark a partition as bootable" automagically (whatever that means) . It will update the bcd store to include the new references if you restore a Paragon image of an o/s partition, or use the Copy function on an o/s partition.

It just adds a boot menu entry to the current system bcd store.

That's very useful.

In that specific unusual situation - he didn't want the boot menu added as it was only a temporaray copy.

He could very very easily have removed the entry afterwards. He used another app. to do the copying instead - apparently that other app.doesn't have the added benefit of updating the bcd store.

Comments n° 27 & 31 from Mike on the download page are worth a read:
Giveaway of the Day - free licensed software daily. Partition Manager 9.5 Personal (English) - Paragon Software's advanced partitioning tools help you completely control and manage your hard disks.

So, now i understand better about "Bad Sector Allocation" damaged and marked.
Seems EASEUS Partition Manager Home Ed doing the same.

I encounter it with Easeus when testing the RC of 7 month ago (on another machine), after having delete the partition were was Windows 7, it had lets bad sectors on the drive. I'd a real hard time repairing and reinstall all the corrupted apps.
.NET Framework was totally messed up, this was a hell.

Does the Integrated Windows 7 partition Manager in disk management react the same?

I'm not sure what he is saying there, so can't say.

I think he was saying when you create a partition, the beginning is marked on the drive like you're using a tool to point/scratch on a hard surface like glass or metal.

The difference is that Bad sectors can be repaired with some tools but surely will let in the "drive memory" some traces it can't get rid off.

When i was using Easeus i did not created only one partition...And i have deleted/created more than once, so it marked manies sectors.
So, finally when i have uninstall the final partition of the RC Windows 7, it had lets more than one bad sector to repair.

That's why some tools partitioning drives are not that ease to use, unless you're letting those partitions for a long time.

He was just saying it will let forever traces of partitioning on the hdd, even repair and you will never know if your drive has to be changed or not.
