5 Volume operations

This section describes all the operations that you can perform with volumes in Acronis Disk Director.

Acronis Disk Director must obtain exclusive access to the target disk/volume. This means no other

disk management utilities (such as the Windows Disk Management utility) can access it at that time.

If you receive a message stating that the disk/volume cannot be blocked, close the disk management

applications that use this disk/volume and start again. If you cannot determine which applications

use the disk/volume, close them all.

5.1 Creating a volume

You might need a new volume to:

 Store data—for example, a music collection, photo albums, or video files;

 Store backups (images) of other volumes/disks (especially boot volumes) to be able to recover

the system in case of disaster;

 Install a new operating system (or swap file).

To create a new volume

1. Run the Create Volume Wizard by right-clicking any unallocated space, and then click Create

volume.

2. Specify the type that the new volume will have. Every volume type is provided with a brief

description to let you better understand the advantages and limitations of each possible volume

type. To learn more about volume types—see Types of basic volumes (p. 13) and Types of

dynamic volumes (p. 13).

The list of volume types contains only the types that are supported (p. 15) by the current operating system.
