2.3 Calling Partition Operations

All partition operations in both modes are called and executed similarly.

2.3.1 Calling the main operations

Any partition operation can be launched:

• By selecting it from the Disk submenu

• From customizable toolbars

• From the partition context menu (both in the main window and the graphical

panel)

• From Operations and Advanced sidebar lists

Note that the list of available operations in the Disk submenu and the Operations

sidebar list depends on the selected partition type. This holds true for unallocated

space as well.

2.3.2 Advanced operations

Advanced hard disk partition operations are:

• Convert — convert the FAT16 partition file system to FAT32, Ext2 to Ext3, and

vice versa

• Hide/Unhide — hide/unhide a partition

• Set Active — set an active partition

• Resize Root — resize FAT16 partition root

• Change Bytes per INODE — resize INODE table (Linux Ext2/Ext3)

• Change Cluster Size — change FAT16/FAT32 partition cluster size

• Change Type — change partition type

• Recover - recovering deleted or damaged partitions (see Chapter 5 «Working

with Acronis Recovery Expert»).

• Edit - editing hard disk data (see Chapter 6 «Working with Acronis Disk Editor»).

Advanced partition operations are called from the Advanced sidebar list, the same

partition context menu item or toolbar button.

Note that the additional operations list of the partition context menu or toolbar

depends on the selection of a partition type. For example, the FAT16 partition menu

contains

Advanced  Resize Root; this is absent in the FAT32 partition menu. The

Linux Ext2/Ext3 partition context menu contains

Advanced  Change Bytes per

INODE, which is not found on the FAT menus
