The Acronis Secure Zone can be located on any fixed hard drive. Acronis Secure Zone is always
created at the end of the hard disk. A machine can have only one Acronis Secure Zone. Acronis Secure
Zone is created using unallocated space, if available, or at the expense of the volumes' free space.
The Acronis Secure Zone cannot be organized on a dynamic disk or a disk using the GPT partitioning style.
To allocate space for Acronis Secure Zone
1. Choose a hard disk (if several) on which to create the zone. The unallocated space is selected by
default. The program displays the total space available for the Acronis Secure Zone.

can be taken. Again, the program displays the total space available for the Acronis Secure Zone

Acronis Secure Zone Size

Enter the Acronis Secure Zone size or drag the slider to select any size between the minimum and the
maximum ones. The minimum size is approximately 50MB, depending on the geometry of the hard
disk. The maximum size is equal to the disk's unallocated space plus the total free space on all the
volumes you have selected in the previous step.
If you have to take space from the boot or the system volume, please bear the following in mind:
•
Moving or resizing of the volume from which the system is currently booted will require a reboot.
•
Taking all free space from a system volume may cause the operating system to work unstably and
even fail to start. Do not set the maximum zone size if the boot or the system volume is selected.
