4.6 Disk layout
On a machine with two or more operating systems, representation of disks and volumes depends on
which operating system is currently running.
A volume may have a different letter in different Windows operating systems. For example, volume
E: might appear as D: or L: when you boot another Windows operating system installed on the same
machine. It is also possible that this volume will have the same letter E: under any Windows
operating system installed on the machine. Moreover, a dynamic disk created in one Windows
operating system is considered as a Foreign Disk in another Windows operating system or might
even be unsupported by this operating system.
When you need to perform a disk management operation on such machine, it is necessary to specify
for which operating system the disk management operation will be performed, i.e. specify the disk
layout.
The name of the currently selected operating system is shown on the toolbar after “Disk layout:”.
Click the operating system name to select another operating system in the Operating System
Selection window.
Under bootable media, this window appears immediately after Acronis Disk Director is launched. The
disk layout will be displayed according to the operating system you select.
4.7 Performing operations
In Acronis Disk Director, all operations on disks and volumes are performed in the same way.
To perform any operation
1. Do any of the following:
Click the disk or the volume, and then select the required action in the Actions menu.
Click the disk or the volume, and then select the required action on the Actions pane.
Right-click the disk or volume, and select the required action in the context menu.
Note: the list of available actions in the Actions menu, the context menu and the Actions pane
depends on the selected volume or disk type. The same also applies to unallocated space.
2. You will be forwarded to the operation specific window, or the wizard page, where you have to
specify the operation's settings.
3. Click OK. The operation will not be performed immediately, but will be considered pending (p.
22) and added to the pending operation list.
You can prepare a sequence of operations to be performed on disks and volumes. All pending
operations will be performed only after you commit them.
Nevertheless, the results of any pending disk or volume operation are immediately displayed in the
product main window. For example, if you create a volume, it will be immediately shown in the table
view at the top, as well as in the graphical view at the bottom. Any volume changes, including
changing the volume letter or label, are also immediately displayed.
While an operation is pending it can be easily undone and redonesee Undoing pending operations
(p. 22).
