92 Copyright © Acronis, Inc., 2000-2009Selecting Active for a partition without an installed operating system could prevent yourserver from booting.7.3.8 Changing the restored partition file systemYou can change the partition file system during its restoration, although it is seldomrequired. Acronis True Image for Microsoft Small Business Server can make the followingfile system conversions: FAT 16 -> FAT 32 and Ext2 -> Ext3. For partitions with othernative file systems, this option is not available.Let us imagine you are to restore a partition from an old, low-capacity FAT16 disk to anewer disk. FAT16 would not be effective and might even be impossible to set on thehigh-capacity hard disk. That's because FAT16 supports partitions up to 4GB, so you willnot be able to restore a 4GB FAT16 partition to a partition that exceeds that limit withoutchanging the file system. It would make sense here to change the file system from FAT16to FAT32.However, keep in mind that not all operating systems support FAT32. MS-DOS, Windows95 and Windows NT 3.x, 4.x do not support FAT32 and will not be operable after yourestore a partition and change its file system. These can be normally restored on a FAT16partition only.7.3.9 Changing the restored partition size and locationYou can resize and relocate a partition by dragging it or its borders with a mouse or byentering corresponding values in the appropriate fields.Using this feature, you can redistribute the disk space between partitions being restored.In this case, you will have to restore the partition to be reduced first.These changes might be useful if you are to copy your hard disk to a new, high-capacityone by creating its image and restoring it to a new disk with larger partitions.
