Vista - make partition INactive

I accidentally made a partition active in disk manager that shouldn't
be active but there seems no way to change it back? Help anyone
please?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Open an elevated cmd prompt
run diskpart
In diskpart run> list volume
In diskpart run>select partition (x)
where (x) if the partition you accidently marked active
Then in diskpart run> inactive

Refresh your disk management screen (F5 to refresh the disk management
screen) to ensure the correct partition was changed.
Do this before any reboots.

Thanks,
