tion, and label. You can easily view the Acronis PartitionExpert pending
operation for the partition you are working on (see 2.4.3 «Viewing de-
layed operations»).
You can always change any operation parameter, including type, files sys-
tem, size, location, etc. before performing the operation. Using
Change type
,
Convert
,
Move
,
Resize
, etc. operations, you will also see that your actions do
not result in creating new pending operations, as you might have expected.
These actions will only change the existing pending operation parameters.
If you decide to change the label of
another
(existing) partition, Acronis
PartitionExpert will immediately create a
new
pending operation. So, the
same actions sometimes result in the creation of a new pending operation, or
modification of existing operations.
2.4.6
Undoing user actions
Calling wizards or dialog boxes for planning disk partition operations are
user
actions
. User entries are necessary operation parameters on the wizard or
dialog box pages.
One user action in Acronis PartitionExpert enables you to plan a whole list of
partition operations. For example,
calling a wizard
for partition creation or re-
sizing. (You can easily verify your actions by looking at the
Pending Opera-
tions when
the wizard finishes its work.)
You can also create a partition by selecting
Disk
Æ
Create Partition
, that re-
quires a list of actions to be performed (enter a label, select partition type,
file system, size, and location), resulting in the creation of a single partition
create operation only.
The difference between user actions and partition operations should be kept
in mind, if you wish to
undo user actions
.
Any user action in Acronis PartitionExpert can be undone or redone before
committing the operation. To undo a user action:
•
Select
Operations
Æ
Undo
from the main menu (or press
Ctrl
+
Z
),
•
Click
Undo Last Action
toolbar button.
To redo a user action:
•
Select
Operations
Æ
Redo
from the main menu (or press
Ctrl
+
Y
),
•
Click
Redo Last Action
toolbar button.
As user actions result in pending partition operations, as mentioned above,
undoing them results in canceling one or several partition operations.
