Acronis Backup & Recovery

Disk operations

Acronis Disk Director Lite includes the following operations that can be performed on disks:

• Disk Initialization – initializes the new hardware added to the system
• Basic disk cloning – transfers complete data from the source basic MBR disk to the target
• Disk conversion: MBR to GPT – converts an MBR partition table to GPT
• Disk conversion: GPT to MBR – converts a GPT partition table to MBR
• Disk conversion: Basic to Dynamic – converts a basic disk to dynamic
• Disk conversion: Dynamic to Basic – converts a dynamic disk to basic

The full version of Acronis Disk Director will provide more tools and utilities for working with disks.

Acronis Disk Director Lite must obtain exclusive access to the target disk. This means no other disk management utilities (like Windows Disk Management utility) can access it at that time. If you receive a message stating that the disk cannot be blocked, close the disk management applications that use this disk and start again. If you cannot determine which applications use the disk, close them all.
