Selecting partitions (disks) for working
- Work with Acronis DiskEditor program begins with the hard disk partition or entire disk selection window. The selection is performed by clicking the left mouse button on a rectangle representing a disk partition, or on a rectangle representing entire hard disk (with an icon). After clicking the bottom of rectangle appears underlined red. If you clicked a hard disk rectangle then all disk partitions and a disk will be underlined.
However, you cannot select two or more disk partitions or two disks for working! Or a single disk (with all its partitions), or any partition.
The difference between selecting the entire disk or a partition only is the following: if you select the entire disk you will be able to view and edit data storage structures of the entire disk - Partition table, File Allocation Table of all disk partitions, the root folder, data area. If you select a partition only, you will be able to view and edit only data storage structures of this partition - File Allocation Table, the root folder and data area of the selected partition.
Having selected a disk partition (or a disk), click OK button to continue. You will see program's main window. (To exit the program click Cancel button.)
The top part of this window features information about Acronis OS Selector program, the bottom part actually features information about the Partition table.
