Can Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 resize a partition that contains bad blocks?We strongly recommend against resizing a partition that contains bad blocks, as this could lead to total data loss on this partition.

This assumes, of course, that the second drive doesn't have any bad blocks. Torna su
Is Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 compatible with Norton GoBack?Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 is compatible with Norton GoBack, but you will need to disable Norton GoBack first if you want to resize a partition (running Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 either in Windows or from bootable rescue media), because Norton GoBack prohibits other applications from changing the partition table. NOTE: When you disable Norton GoBack, you will lose all past history backups and will not be able to undo the changes. Torna su

Does Acronis Recovery Expert allow users to restore separate files or folders deleted by accident?Acronis Recovery Expert works with hard disk partitions only and does not restore individual files or folders. Please note that the most effective way to protect your data is to back up your hard disk with Acronis True Image, which allows you to restore either the entire partition or individual files or folders once you created a backup. Torna su
What is a hard disk partition?Creating separate sections on a disk is called partitioning. Partitions are analogous to separate physical disk drives and do not depend on each other. To visualize a partition, think of a large cabinet. A cabinet with no drawers would have just one partition — everything would be stuffed into the same area. Now think about a cabinet with 3 drawers. You now can separate like items into different drawers. Now consider a disk drive. By creating separate "drawers" — or partitions — on the disk drive, you now can keep your operating system separate from your applications and data. In fact, each partition can contain its own operating system. Torna su
How many partitions can I have on my hard disk?Physical hard disks can contain up to four primary partitions or up to three primary partitions and infinite logical partitions. The number of primary partitions on a disk is limited because the partition table located on the hard disk contains only four records. Extended partitioning supports additional divisions of the drive into logical partitions. The number of logical partitions on a disk drive is unlimited. Torna su
What is a primary partition?A primary hard disk partition can contain the operating system, applications and user data (files). Only one primary partition can be set as active in a given PC session. Most operating systems can boot from a primary partition only. If you want to use several operating systems on the same physical computer, you have to create several primary partitions. Torna su
What is an extended partition?An extended hard disk partition was developed as a way to avoid the four-primary-partitions limit. The extended partition is used only for creating the desired number of logical partitions. An extended partition does not contain any data itself. Torna su
What is a logical partition?An extended partition can be divided into any number of logical partitions. Logical partitions are similar to primary partitions in that they also can contain operating systems, applications and user data. Torna su
What is an active partition?An active partition is the default partition from which your system boots. It must contain an operating system. Please note that there may be only one primary partition on a hard disk and that only a primary partition can be set active. (If you are running Windows XP along with other operating systems on the same computer, Windows XP must be on the Primary, Active partition.) Torna su
What is a file system?A file system is the way in which files are named and where they are placed logically for storage and retrieval on the disk drive. The process of creating a partition file system is called formatting. Each partition can have its own file system. Torna su
