Before You Run Acronis Disk Director Suite
PLEASE NOTE: Operations on system, application or data partitions must be done very
carefully to avoid potential hard disk booting or data storage problems.
Acronis Disk Director Suite has been thoroughly tested to work with numerous hard disks,
so if problems arise, they are likely caused by improper use, not the software.
A power loss, turning off the PC or pressing the
Reset
button
on your PC
during the
repartitioning procedure could result in partition damage and data loss.
Please take all necessary precautions and following these
simple rules
:
1. Create a disk image of the disk on which partitions are to be reconfigured. This will
ensure that your data will not be lost under any circumstances.
Almost all current PCs feature CD-RW drives. Having your most important data backed up
to a hard disk or CD will enable you to work on the disk partitions with full confidence that
your data is safe.
Acronis offers extremely effective hard disk and partition disk imaging software — Acronis
True Image
(visit
http://www.acronis.com/products/trueimage/
). It creates a backup stored
in a compressed archive file whose contents can be restored at any time.
2. Test your disk to make sure it
’
s fully functional and does not contain bad sectors or file
system errors.
