By copying a partition at the expense of existing partition free space, Acronis
PartitionExpert can take the partition space to make sure that partition size is
not smaller than 110% of data-occupied space.

On the next
Partition Type
wizard page you can select partition copy
type:
Active
,
Primary
and
Logical
.
As a rule,
Primary
is selected if a partition contains an operating system.
If a partition is intended for data storage, you should select
Logical
.
Select
Active
, if you want to boot the partition’s operating system at
startup.
The selection of partition copy type and possible limitations are described in
the comment to #3.3 of 3.1 «Creating A New Partition».
Further actions for copying a partition are the same as described in
#3.4–3.7 of 3.1 «Creating A New Partition».
Copying a partition in Windows 95/98/Me and assigning it a letter can change
the order of letters assigned to other partitions. As a result, some shortcuts
might stop working. For a detailed discussion of partition letter assignment
rules for various operating systems see 3.1 «Creating A New Partition».
Clicking
Finish
on the last wizard page will allows Acronis
PartitionExpert to create the
pending operation list
for copying a parti-
tion (your actions may only modify an existing operation as well. See
2.4.5 «Modifying pending operations»).
