Acronis diskeditor 6.0 Manual De Usuario

 

 

 

To work with a hard disk you must know where and what data is stored on 
it. As a complete disk editing program, DiskEditor allows you to create a 
complete partition on a disk without the use of the FDISK utility (or any other 
utilities). DiskEditor is also capable of much more: while the FDISK utility al-
lows you to create only FAT16/32 partitions, DiskEditor allows you to create 
partitions for almost any types known. Look closely at the Partition type drop-
down list. 

 

This list also contains a substantial group of partition types, that may seem 
exotic to some users. 

We now use the FORMAT utility, also supplied with Windows operating sys-
tem, to format the created primary partition with 

/S 

option that allows to 

transfer system files to partition: 

FORMAT C: /S 

(The disk can have another letter assigned, for example, D:.)

 

Formatting a partition with the FORMAT utility results in the creation of 
partition bootsector contents.

 

The following modes allow you to view a bootsector: as FAT16 bootsector, as 
FAT32 bootsector, and as NTFS bootsector. You should keep in mind that 
simple selection of a view mode does not automatically result in positioning 
DiskEditor to a partition bootsector. You have to do it manually. For this pur-
pose you can use Search Æ Go To… menu while working with the entire hard 
disk and enter the sector offset from the Partition table into Absolute sector 
field in the dialog window.
