Select a file system
Let’s imagine you are to restore a partition from an old, low-capacity FAT16 disk to
a newer disk. FAT16 would not be effective and might even be impossible to set on
the high-capacity hard disk. That's because FAT16 supports files up to 4 GB, so you
won’t be able to restore a 4 GB FAT16 partition to a disk that exceeds that threshold
without changing the file system.
It would make sense here to change the file system from FAT16 to FAT32 by setting
the appropriate software switch.
But you must also keep in mind that not all operating systems support FAT32. MS-
DOS, Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.x, 4.x do not support FAT32 and will not 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.
The operating systems summary is provided in Appendix A.
Selecting restored partition size
In some cases, you might need to change the partition configuration and size during
restoration. Acronis True Image is flexible enough to do this.
You can resize and relocate a partition by dragging it or its borders with a mouse or
by entering corresponding values into the appropriate fields.
