You can imagine the following example situation to understand what you 
might have to change partition type for. Both system, and data files were 
stored on a single damaged primary partition. Now you need to restore a 
partition from a back-up copy to another hard disk with several partitions 
and an operating system installed. 

You need only the data of a stored partition, and need not another system 
partition. In this case you can restore the partition as a logical to use its data. 

In case you are restoring a system partition, you should select either the 
active or primary type for it.  

 

Acronis TrueImage software allows to similarly change a partition file system at 
restoration. 

Let’s assume you are restoring a partition from a low capacity disk with the 
FAT16 file system to a new higher capacity hard disk. It would be ineffective 
(and just impossible in some cases) to use the FAT16 file system on a high 
capacity hard disk. The fact is that FAT16 limits partition size to 4 GB, so you 
won’t be able to restore a 4 GB FAT16 partition to a new disk of higher 
capacity, as you’ll have to change the file system. 

It would be logical to change FAT16 to FAT32 in the given case. Set the 
switch to the appropriate position in the Restored Partition File System window 
to do this.
