As a rule, "as is" transfers are inexpedient, as they leave much unallocated space on the new

disk. Using the "as is" method, Acronis True Image Enterprise Server transfers unsupported

and damaged file systems.

If you transfer data proportionally, each partition will be enlarged, according to the

proportion of the old and new disk capacities.

FAT16 partitions are enlarged less than others, as they have a 4 GB size limit.

Depending on the selected combination, you will proceed to either the old disk partitioning

window, or the disk partition layout window (see below).

13.3.9 Partitioning the old disk

If you selected Create a new partition layout earlier in the process, it is now time to

repartition your old disk.

During this step, you will see the current disk partition layout. Initially, the disk has

unallocated space only. This will change when you create new partitions.

Having completed the required steps, you will add a new partition. To create another one,

simply repeat those steps.

If you make a mistake, click Back to redo.

After you create the necessary partitions, uncheck the Create new partition in

unallocated space box and click Next.

13.3.10 Old and new disk partition layouts

partitions and unallocated space, as well as the new disk layout.

Along with the hard disk number, you will also see disk capacity, label, partition and file

system information. Different partition types, including primary, logical and unallocated

space are marked with different colors.
