3. By 

clicking 

OK

 in the Set Active Partition window, you'll add the pending 

operation of setting active partition (your actions may only undo or modify 
an existing operation. See 2.4.5 «Modifying pending operations»). 
The new partition structure will be graphically represented in the Acronis 
Disk Director Suite main window. 
The partition will be marked Act in the Flags field. The primary partition is 
also marked Pri, so the Flags field will contain Pri, Act.  

 

Before you make a partition active, you must make sure it is formatted and contains 

an operating system. Otherwise your PC will not boot from this partition! 

 

If you set a partition to active and there was another active partition on a disk, it will 

be unset automatically. This also might prevent your PC from booting. 

 

Setting an active partition in Windows 95/98/Me can change the order of letters 

assigned to other partitions. As a result, some shortcuts might stop working. A 
detailed discussion of partition letter assignment rules for various operating systems 

appears in 3.1 «Creating A New Partition». 

Unlike all others, the FAT16 root is located in a special place and has a limited 
size (512 elements after standard formatting). Acronis Disk Director Suite lets 
you change the root size of existing partitions. 

1. 

Select a disk and FAT16 partition from the list in the Acronis Disk Director 
Suite main window. 

2.  Execute operation of FAT16 partition root resizing by selecting Disk   

 Resize Root or a similar item in the Advanced sidebar list, or 

by clicking 

 Change the number of files that can be located in the root of 

the selected partition on the toolbar (or selecting it from partition or the 
graphical representation context menu). 

 

If you select a partition with another file system, mentioned sidebar and 
context menu items will not be available.
