Caution: Volumes that contain encrypted files cannot be split.
To split a volume
1. Right-click the volume that you need to split, and then click Split volume.

selected files to created volume check box and click Select. Then select the files and folders that
you want to move.
Caution: When splitting a boot volume, avoid moving system folders, such as Windows or Program Files.
Otherwise, the corresponding Windows operating system will likely fail to start. Also avoid moving files and
folders when splitting volumes smaller than 100 MB.

committing the pending operations will effectively cancel them.

Changing a volume label

The volume label is a short name that you can assign to a volume to better differentiate it from other
volumes.
In Acronis Disk Director, the volume label is shown in the list of volumes and is followed by the drive
letter (if present)—for example: System (C:)
Unlike the volume's drive letter—which may be different in different Windows operating systems
installed on the machine—the volume label remains the same even after the hard disk drive with the
volume has been moved to another machine.
The maximum length of a volume label depends on the volume's file system. For example, it is 32
characters for the NTFS file system, 11 characters for the FAT16 and FAT32 file systems, and 16
characters for the ext2 and ext3 file systems.
To change a volume label
1. Right-click the volume whose label you want to change, and then click Change label.
2. In New label, type the new volume label.
Note: Some file systems—for example, FAT16 and FAT32 (see below)—do not allow certain characters in
the volume label. The OK button will remain disabled as long as the label you typed contains such
characters.
3. Click OK to add the pending volume label changing operation.
The results of the pending operation are immediately displayed as if the operation had been
performed.
To perform the pending operation you will have to commit it (p. 24). Exiting the program without
committing the pending operations will effectively cancel them.
