Manual Partition Operations

Change letter window

4. By clicking OK in the Change letter window, you'll add a pending operation to

partition letter assignment (your actions may only undo or modify already 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.

Only Windows NT/2000/XP lets you change letters assigned to partitions. Windows 98/Me

assigns letters to partitions automatically.

Directly changing a partition letter might affect shortcuts to existing partitions. Changin

partition letter in Windows NT/2000/XP might result in problems running applications and

openin

files on the partition. If it is a system or swap file partition, it mi

ht cause OS boot

problems. A detailed discussion of partition letter assi

nment rules for various operatin

systems appears in 3.1 «Creating A New Partition».

4.2.2 Converting a file system

FAT16

The main

disadvantages

of FAT16 are:

• Inability to support partitions larger than 2 GB

• Inability to work with files larger than 2 GB

• Inability to work with hard disks larger than 8 GB

• Limited root size — up to 512 elements

• File names containing up to eight name symbols, a dot and three extension

symbols (Windows NT do not have this limitation)

FAT32

The FAT32 file system appeared in Windows 95 OSR2 and is supported by Windows

98/Me and Windows 2000/XP.

Its main purpose was to remove FAT16 limitations. FAT32 is the evolution of FAT16.
