Chapter 15. Adding A New Hard Disk; Selecting A Hard Disk; Creating New Partitions - ACRONIS TRUE IMAGE ECHO - WORKSTATION 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
computer 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 Echo Workstation 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 computer.

15.1 Selecting a hard disk

Select the disk that you've added to the computer.
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.
