In the next wizard page, enter partition copy type (Logical — Primary), 
size, and location. 

 

While copying a partition, you might have to change its type. For example, you have 

to copy a primary partition, but there are already four primary partitions on the disk. 

You will be able to copy it only as a logical partition. If you need to restore the primary 

partition from a copy, you will be able to change its type again. 

 

The size and location of a partition copy can be provided with a mouse or 
by entering data into the Unallocated space before,  Partition size (and 
Unallocated space after) fields.

operations»). 

The new partition structure will be graphically represented in the Acronis 
Disk Director Suite main window.

operating systems appears in 3.1 «Creating A New Partition».
