This article applies to: all versions of AOMEI Partition Assistant.
Introduction:
You may receive this error code 6: “The partition table on the disk was updated fail as other programs locked the partition table, please close other programs and retry”. The reason is that resizing partition will modify the partition table. If it failed to upgrade the partition table, you won’t resize the partition successfully.
Clone is initializing...
Checking volumes...
Information Code: 6
The partition table on the disk was updated fail as other programs locked the partition table, please close other programs and retry.
Solutions:
1. Please create the “WinPE Bootale Media” with Partition Assistant to do the operation again.
2. Please check that if the disk or volume status is offline or read-only. If it is, you need to switch them onto Online with Windows Disk Management or Diskpart tool, or to relieve the read-only attribute by Diskpart.
3. Applications which are made to protect disk and system will occupy or lock the partition table to prevent the system from being damaged. Partition Assistant will be shackled by these programs, so you need to close them then retry the operation.
4. The underlying error of partition table such as the partition table overlap will lead to an update partition table failure. So you should figure out the errors and then retry the operation.
Note: A partition table backup before the problem fixing is recommended.
If there is still any problem, please feel free to contact our AOMEI Support Team.
