space. 
  Sector to sector move. Mark the checkbox to move the partition in the sector-by-sector mode to process its 
unused space as well. This can help to avoid problems with hidden data created by certain applications or 
the system administrator. However, it will take more time to accomplish the operation. 
Partition size and position may also be defined by using the drag-and-drop technique. To do 
that, just carry out the required operation on the Disk Map. The virtual operations are to be

Converting File System 
With our program you can change type of the used file system without destroying its data. While performing the 
operation, it first checks the current file system for consistency and then verifies whether the on-partition data meet the 
requirements of the desired file system or not. After having passed the testing, the program re-organizes the file system 
metadata and user files. 
The program enables to convert the following file system types: 
- FAT16 > NTFS, FAT32 
- FAT32 > NTFS, FAT16 
- NTFS > FAT16, FAT32 
- Ext2 > Ext3 
In order to convert a file system you should take the following steps:
