You will have to select between:

• OK – all existing partitions will be deleted and all their data will be lost.

• Cancel – no existing partition will be deleted, discontinuing the recovery operation. You will then

have to cancel the operation or select another disk.

Note that no real changes or data destruction will be performed at this time! For now, the program will just map

out the procedure. All changes will be implemented only when you click Proceed in the wizard's Summary

window.

10.1.6. Changing the recovered partition type

When recovering a partition, you can change its type, though it is not required in most cases.

To illustrate why you might need to do this, let's imagine that both the operating system and data

were stored on the same primary partition on a damaged disk.

If you are recovering a system partition to the new (or the same) disk and want to load the operating

system from it, you will select Active.

Acronis True Image Home 2010 Netbook Edition automatically corrects boot information during

recovery of the system partition to make it bootable, even if it was not recovered to the original

partition (or disk).

If you recover a system partition to another hard disk with its own partitions and OS, most likely you

will need only the data. In this case, you can recover the partition as Logical to access the data only.

By default, the original partition type is selected.

Selecting Active for a partition without an installed operating system could prevent your computer from

booting.

10.1.7. Changing the recovered partition size and location

You can resize and relocate a partition by dragging it or its borders with a mouse on the horizontal

bar on the screen or by entering corresponding values into the appropriate fields.
