Merging partitions

DATA RECOVERY

Partition Series

You can merge two partitions into one, even if their file systems are different. All data will stay intact and reside on the resulting partition. The resulting partition will have the same file system as the target partition (to which data from another partition will be added).
To merge one partition to another:
• Select Disk - Merge or a similar item in the Operations sidebar list or by clicking Merge on the toolbar.
• Select the target partition
• Select a folder on the target partition to which the data from the merged partition will be placed. You can create a new folder, using icons above the folder tree. If the folder already exists, it must be empty.
Note
• The folder to which you move data from the merged partition must be empty.

• By clicking Proceed you'll add a pending operation (your actions may only undo or modify already existing operation; see Modifying pending operations).
The new partition structure will be graphically represented in the Acronis Disk Director Suite main window.

Note
• Merging an NTFS partition to a partition with file system, not supporting security options (for example, FAT32 partition), will result in loss of security settings (partition ownership data and access permissions). With the opposite action (merging a non-secured partition to the secured one), the target partition security settings will be assigned to the resulting partition.
