ACRONIS DISK DIRECTOR SUITE 10.0 User Manual page 37

The minimum copy size is determined by the data area size of a copied partition. The
maximum size is determined by the available disk space. It includes the space taken
from a partition and unallocated disk space.
By copying a partition at the expense of existing partition free space, Acronis Disk
Director Suite can take the partition space to make sure that partition size is not smaller
than 110% of data-occupied space.
On the next Partition Type wizard page, you can select partition copy type: Active,
3.
Primary and Logical.
As a rule, Primary is selected if a partition contains an operating system. If a partition is
intended for data storage, you should select Logical.
Select Active if you want to boot the partition's operating system at startup.
By copying a partition at the expense of existing partition free space, Acronis Disk
Director Suite can take the partition space to make sure that partition size is not smaller
than 110% of data-occupied space.
Further actions for copying a partition are the same as described in sections 4-7 of 3.1
«Creating A New Partition».
Copying a partition in Windows 98/Me and assigning it a letter can change the order of
letters assigned to other partitions. As a result, some shortcuts might stop working. For a
detailed discussion of partition letter assignment rules for various operating systems, see
3.1 «Creating A New Partition».
Clicking Finish on the last wizard page will allow Acronis Disk Director Suite to create
the pending operation list for copying a partition (your actions may only modify an existing
operation. See 2.4.5 «Modifying pending operations»).
The new partition structure will be graphically represented in the Acronis Disk Director
Suite main window.
