Unlike the «Automatic partition operations» mode (see 2.1), the «Manual partition 
operations» mode is intended for experienced users only, and offers much wider 
operation lists. Manual operation parameters are entered in the dialog boxes. 
To switch to the «Manual partition operations» mode, select View -> Manual 
mode. 

Main hard disk partition operations include the typical, most frequently used 
operations of partition creation (selecting a type, file system, formatting, etc.), 
assigning label and letter partition, resizing, relocating, clearing, deletion, etc. 

If there is unallocated space on a disk, you can create a partition using manual 
disk operations. 

 

Note that the Create partition wizard mentioned above can create a partition using 

both unallocated disk space and the space of existing partitions (see 3.1 «Creating A 
New Partition»). It will enable you to create a partition on unallocated space only. If 

there is no such space, it should be provided by resizing and moving existing 

partitions.  

If you need to create a disk partition:

Select hard disk and unallocated space in the Acronis Disk Director Suite 
main window; The Create partition button will become available  on the 
toolbar, and the Create Partition operation on the sidebar and in the 
context menu.
