Operation Manual

Manual Partition Operations

For example, Windows 95/98/Me, unlike Windows NT/2000/XP, does not let users

assign random letters to partitions, so you must move a partition to assi

n it the

necessary letter.

• Work with some older OS (MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0), that can

boot only from binary partitions located in the beginning of the disk

• Speed up partition operations

For example, you might have a special partition for a swap file. If you move this

partition closer to the beginning of a disk, OS might work much faster with it.

• Change partition configuration

If you need to move a partition to unallocated disk space:

1. Select the hard disk and partition to move.

Selecting a partition to move

2. Execute operation of partition moving by selecting Disk  Move or a similar

item in the Operations sidebar list or by clicking

Move the selected

partition to another free space on the toolbar.

3. Acronis Disk Director Suite will automatically compare moved partition size

and available free space, indicating it in the Move Partition window.
