Select partition size and location
You might need to resize and relocate a partition in order to redistribute the disk space
between existin
g
partitions. In this case, you will have to restore the partition to be reduced
first.
These changes might be useful if you are to clone a hard disk by creating its ima
g
e and
restoring it to a new disk with larger partitions. Such cloning is used if it is impossible to
connect the second hard disk to the PC.
Assigning a letter to a partition
Windows utilizes letters to identify disks and partitions, automatically assigning
them at loading.
Under Windows NT/2000/XP, Acronis True Image enables you to assign any unused
letter to a restored partition (logical disk). To do this, select Yes, I want to assign
a logical drive letter to restored partition. If you don’t set this switch, no
letters will be assigned to the restored partition, hiding it from OS. Under Windows
9x/Me, this step is bypassed since letters are assigned automatically.
