Chapter 15. Adding A New Hard Disk; Selecting A Hard Disk; Creating New Partitions - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE - FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SMALL BUSINESS SERVER User Manual

Chapter 15. Adding a new hard disk

If you don't have enough space for your data, you can either replace the old disk with a
new, higher-capacity one (data transfers to new disks are described in the previous
chapter), or add a new disk to store data, leaving the system on the old disk. If the server
has space for another disk, it would be easier to add a data disk drive than to clone a
system one.
This feature is available in Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server local
version only. Adding disks using Acronis True Image Management Console is not
supported.
To add a new disk, you must first install it in your server.

15.1 Selecting a hard disk

Select the disk that you've added to the server.
This window might be bypassed if the program detects the new disk itself. In this case,
you will immediately proceed to the new partition creation.
If there are any partitions on the new disk, they must be deleted first.
Select Delete partitions on the destination hard disk and click Next to continue.

15.2 Creating new partitions

Next you will see the current partition layout. Initially, all disk space will be unallocated.
This will change after you add new partitions.
To create a partition, select Create new partition in unallocated space and click
Next to perform steps required by the partition creation wizard.
You will be prompted to set the new partition location and size. You can do this by
entering values to the Unallocated space before, Partition size, or Unallocated
space after fields, by dragging the partition borders or by dragging the partition itself.
