3.1.9 Changing size of a partition to be restored
So, you are to restore a hard disk partition. The reasons can be very
different: you might have just installed a bad device driver, causing system
instability; or Windows registry is damaged. The question might be a hard
disk: there have appeared many bad sectors; file read/write errors have
become regular. Finally, the File Allocation Table (FAT) or the Root is
damaged, or the Bootsector is infected with a still incurable virus.
If your PC health was ruined due to one of these reasons, you might like to
restore a partition to a new disk and change the partition configuration and
size comparing to what you had before. Acronis TrueImage software is
flexible enough to let you do this. You’ll be able to change the size and disk
location of a partition to be restored in the following window (Figure 3.11).
The information on a stored partition is kept in its image. The window shows
exactly this information. You can resize a partition to make it larger or
smaller (not smaller than the space occupied with its data.)
