User's Manual

Be careful! Drive letters in standalone Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition might sometimes differ

from the way Windows identifies drives. For example, the D: drive identified in the standalone Acronis True

Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition might correspond to the E: drive in Windows.

3.5. Viewing disk and partition information

You can change the way data is represented in all schemes you see in various wizards.

The header may have up to three icons: Columns, Arrange Icons by and Disk properties, the latter

duplicated in the context menu opened by right-clicking objects.

To sort messages by a particular column, click the header (another click will switch the messages to

the opposite order) or the Arrange Icons by button and select the column.

To select which columns to view, right-click the headers line or left-click the Columns button. Then

flag the columns you want to display. When left-clicking the Columns button, you can also change the

display order of columns using the Move Up and Move Down buttons.

If you click the Disk properties button, you will see the selected partition or disk properties window.

This window contains two panels. The left panel contains the properties tree and the right describes

the selected property in detail. The disk information includes its physical parameters (connection

type, device type, size, etc.); partition information includes both physical (sectors, location, etc.), and

logical (file system, free space, assigned letter, etc.) parameters.

You can change the width of a column by dragging its borders with the mouse.

3.6. File Shredder and System Clean-up

Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition contains utilities for secure destruction of data on an

entire hard disk drive, individual partitions, as well as for erasing individual files and eliminating user

system activity traces. When replacing your old hard drive with a new, higher-capacity one, you may

unwittingly leave on the old disk lots of personal and confidential information that can be recovered,

even if you have reformatted it.

The File Shredder provides for the destruction of individual files and folders with the help of

techniques that meet or exceed most national and state standards. You can select an appropriate

data destruction method depending on the importance of your confidential information.

The System Clean-up wizard ensures elimination of all your activity traces; while working with a PC or

netbook, you leave thousands of bytes of evidence showing your actions (records in various system

files) that you don’t even know about. This could include user names and passwords, as well as other

personal information that could be used to steal your identity if it fell into the wrong hands. This

utility wipes them completely from the disk drive.

3.7. Support for Zip format

Now you will be able to retrieve files from backups anywhere without using Acronis True Image Home

2010 Netbook Edition, if you choose the zip format instead of the tib format. You can back up files,

for example, to a USB stick and retrieve files from such archives on your notebook at home without

installing Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition, because the most widely used operating

systems, namely Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X have built-in support of the zip file format.
