Main Partition Operations
Main hard disk partition operations include the typical, most frequently used operations of
partition creation (selecting a type, file system, formatting, etc.), assigning label and
letter partition, resizing, relocating, clearing, deletion, etc.
4.1.1
Creating partitions
If there is unallocated space on a disk, you can create a partition using manual disk
operations.
Note that the Create partition wizard mentioned above can create a partition using both
unallocated disk space and the space of existing partitions (see 3.1 «Creating A New
Partition»). It will enable you to create a partition on unallocated space only. If there is no
such space, it should be provided by resizing and moving existing partitions.
If you need to create a disk partition:
1.
Select hard disk and unallocated space in the Acronis Disk Director Suite main
window. The Create partition button will become available on the toolbar, and the
Create Partition operation on the sidebar and in the context menu.
2.
