Restoring a disk (partition) from an imageCopyright © Acronis, Inc., 2000-2005 35choose between Ext2 and Ext3. For partitions with other native file systems thisoption is not available.Select a file systemLet’s imagine you are to restore a partition from an old, low-capacity FAT16 disk toa newer disk. FAT16 wouldn’t be effective and might even be impossible to set onthe high-capacity hard disk. That’s because FAT16 supports partitions up to 4 GB,so you won’t be able to restore a 4 GB FAT16 partition to a partition that exceedsthat threshold without changing the file system.It would make sense here to change the file system from FAT16 to FAT32 by settingthe 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 apartition and change its file system. These can be normally restored on a FAT16partition only.However, you can easily convert a FAT16 partition with newer OS into FAT32.5.7 Selecting restored partition sizeIn some cases you might need to change partition configuration and size during therestoration. Acronis True Image Server 8.0 for Windows is flexible enough to dothis.You can resize and relocate partition by dragging it or its borders with mouse or byentering corresponding values into the appropriate fields.
