Manual Partition Operations

Cluster size window

4. By entering a new cluster size and clicking OK in the Cluster Size window, you'll add

the pending operation of cluster resizing (your actions may only undo or modify an

existing operation, See 2.4.5 «Modifying pending operations»).

4.2.8 Changing partition type

Each partition record includes the «partition type field». It is a hexadecimal value that

defines the file and operating system suitable for a partition.

his hexadecimal value is optional, as some operatin

systems use it and some do not. In

particular, Windows 98/Me only uses the «partition type» field when determinin

if it can

support a partition.

Usually, partition type is set during its creation depending on the file system to be used.

However, you might need to select the type manually. For example, if a partition is

created without a file system or if a partition is meant for use with a specific OS, it must

be assigned a corresponding type.

If you need to change partition type:

1. Select a disk and partition from the list in the Acronis Disk Director Suite main

window.

2. Select Disk Æ Advanced Æ Change type or a similar item in the Advanced sidebar

list, or click

Change the type of the selected partition on the toolbar (or select it

from partition or the graphical representation context menu).

3. Select the necessary partition type in the Partition type window.
