operation for partition resizing and moving (your actions may only undo
or modify an existing operation; see 2.4.5 «Modifying pending

Acronis PartitionExpert features a wizard for performing more complex partition
resizing (see 3.2 «Increasing Partition»). Simple partition resizing lets you increase
partition size only if there is free (unallocated) space before or after a partition. The
wizard lets you perform more complex operations such as increasing partition free
space
at the expense of other partitions
.
