On the next wizard page you will see the maximum size available for the
selected partition. You must select the size yourself.
Entering the size to increase partition free space
Note that although selected partition size is increased at the expense of other
partition space, if there is unallocated space, it will also be used if needed.
Unallocated space is automatically considered to be the maximum partition
size.

In the last
Preview
wizard window you will see a
graphical
representa-
tion of the new partition structure, including the resized partition.
Clicking
Finish
on the last wizard page will allow Acronis
PartitionExpert create the
pending operation list
for partition resizing
(your actions may only modify an existing operation. See 2.4.5 «Modifying
pending operations»).
The new partition structure will be graphically represented in the
Acronis PartitionExpert main window.
Similar to creating a new partition (see 3.1 «Creating A New Partition»), Acronis
PartitionExpert considers the results of partition free space increase as a single com-
plex operation that can be undone only as a whole.
3.3 Copying
Partitions
Having copied a partition, you get the duplicate of all its data. Partition copy
can be used:
•
As a partition backup (or rather a data backup),
•
A system partition backup is advised if you want to upgrade the existing
operating system,
•
To quickly move all data from the old disk to the new.
