Automatic Partition Operations

Entering the size to increase partition free space

Note that althou

h selected partition size is increased at the expense of other

partition space, unallocated space also will be used if needed. Unallocated space is

automatically considered to be the maximum partition size.

5. In the last Preview wizard window, you will see a graphical representation of the

new partition structure, including the resized partition.

Clicking Finish on the last wizard page will allow Acronis Disk Director

Suite to create the pending operation list for partition resizing (your actions

may only modify an existing operation. See 2.4.5 «Modifying pending

operations»).

The new partition structure will be graphically represented in the Acronis

Disk Director Suite main window.

Similar to creating a new partition (see 3.1 «Creating A New Partition»), Acronis Disk

Director Suite considers the results of partition free space increase as a sin

complex operation that can be undone only as a whole.

3.3 Copying Partitions

Having copied a partition, you get the duplicate of all its data. Partition copy can

be used:

• As a partition backup (or rather as a data backup)

• A system partition backup is advised if you want to upgrade the existing

operating system

• To quickly move all data from the old disk to the new disk
