to the new disk, click New location. Select the destination disk by its assigned name or by its
capacity.
7. Clicking Accept will return you to the "Settings of partition ..." screen. Check the partition type
and change it, if necessary. You should remember that the system partition must be primary and
marked as active.
8. Proceed to specifying the partition size by clicking Change default in the Partition size area. The
partition will occupy the entire new disk by default. You can resize and relocate the partition by
dragging it or its borders with a mouse on the horizontal bar on the screen. Or you can enter
corresponding values into the appropriate fields (Partition size, Free space before, Free space
after). Remember that when resizing a partition, you need to leave enough unallocated (free)
space for a second partition.
Usually the free space before partitions is equal to zero. Click Accept when the partition is the
size you want and then click Next.
9. Begin specifying the settings for the second partition. Click New location and then select
unallocated space on the destination disk that will receive the second partition. Click Accept.
Check the partition type (change, if necessary). Specify the partition size which by default is equal
to the original size. Usually there is no free space after the last partition. Therefore allocate all of
the unallocated space to the second partition. Click Accept and then click Next.
10. Carefully read the summary of operations to be performed. If you do not want to validate the
backup, click Proceed. Otherwise click Options and select the Validate backup archive before
recovery box before clicking Proceed.
11. When the operation finishes, exit the standalone version of Acronis True Image Home 2011.
Windows should not "see" both the new and old drive during the first boot after recovery because this could
result in problems booting Windows. If you upgrade the old drive to a larger capacity new one, disconnect the
old drive before the first boot.
Switch off the computer, if you need to disconnect the old drive. Otherwise, just reboot the
computer after removing the rescue media.
Boot the computer to Windows. It may report that new hardware (the hard drive) has been found
and that Windows needs to reboot. After making sure that the system operates normally, restore the
original boot order.
4.5.2 Recovering a disk with a hidden partition
A hidden partition may be created by the PC manufacturer for diagnostics or system recovery.
Recovering a backup of a system disk with a hidden partition requires that you to take into account
some additional factors. First of all, it is necessary for the new drive to keep the physical order of the
partitions that existed on the old drive. In addition, you should place the hidden partition in the same
location - usually at the start or the end of the disk space. To minimize the risk of possible problems,
it is better to recover the hidden partition without resizing.
Attach the external drive if it contains the backup to be used for recovery and make sure that the drive is
powered on. This must be done before booting from Acronis rescue media.
1. Arrange the boot order in BIOS so as to make your rescue media device (CD, DVD or USB stick)
the first boot device. See Arranging boot order in BIOS (p. 97).
2. Boot from the rescue media and select Acronis True Image Home 2011 (Full version).
3. Select Recovery → Disk and Partition Recovery in the main menu. Choose the image backup of
your system disk that you want to use for recovery.
