3.3 Selecting a Destination Partition
As it has been said above, you can restore a partition image, stored in an
archive file, to a new hard disk. In the same way you can restore contents of
a stored partition to another partition. For example, you could have stored
logical drive D: data in an archive file. You would like this data to be restored
to the logical drive E: on a new hard disk. Acronis TrueImage software allows
to do this as well. In the Restored Partition Location window click a partition,
to which you’d like to restore the data to. This partition will become
underlined red.
Selecting a destination partition
Acronis TrueImage software must obtain an exclusive access to a partition to
restore an image from an archive file to. It means no other software must
work with this partition during the restoration. Therefore it’s recommended
to close all applications for the restoration period. However, it’s not enough
for some cases, in particular if you restore a partition the operating system
was booted from.
We’ll discuss this situation later. It may appear at system partition restoration (the one
PC is currently booted from).
So, having selected the destination to restore a partition from an archive file,
click
Next to continue.
You can change the type of a partition from an archive file, while restoring it.
Read more about partition types in the Appendix A. We also note that an operatin
g
system is usually installed to a primary partition, and lo
g
ical drives of an extended
partition are used for storing data files.
