Restoring a disk (partition) from an image
Select a file system
Let’s imagine you are to restore a partition from the old low-capacity FAT16 disk to
a newer one. FAT16 wouldn’t be effective and might even be impossible to set on
the high-capacity hard disk. The thing is that FAT16 supports partitions up to 4 Gb
in size, so you won’t be able to restore a 4 Gb FAT16 partition to a partition that
exceeds 4 Gb without changing the file system.
It would be logical here to change the file system from FAT16 to FAT32 by setting
the appropriate switch.
But you must also have in mind that not all operating systems support FAT32.
Windows 4.x doesn’t support FAT32 and won't be operable after you restore a
partition and change its file system. These can be normally restored on a FAT16
partition only.
However, you can easily convert a FAT16 partition with newer OS into FAT32.
6.7 Selecting
restored partition size
In some cases you might need to change partition configuration and size during the
restoration. Acronis True Image Corporate Workstation is flexible enough to do this.
You can resize and relocate partition by dragging it or its borders with mouse or by
entering corresponding values into the appropriate fields.
