What’s new in Acronis Disk Director Suite 10.0?

• Splitting/merging partitions
You can split a partition in two, moving the selected folders to the new partition and leaving the rest of the data on the old one. This operation can also be used for creating an empty partition from another partition’s free space. You can merge two partitions, as well, even if their file systems are different. All data will stay intact and reside on the resulting partition.

• Exploring and managing partitions contents
You can explore or manage partition contents before configuring operations on that partition directly from Acronis Disk Director Suite. It enables you to copy, paste,
rename and delete files and folders, create folders on the selected partition, and even edit text files.

• Support of boot from CD/DVD in Acronis OS Selector
If you insert a bootable CD/DVD, it will be detected and displayed in the Acronis OS Selector boot menu/main window along with available operating systems. The CD/DVD can contain any operating system or bootable program – no matter, you will see its icon in the boot menu. It allows you to boot or install an operating system from a CD.

• OS Detection Wizard
The OS detection tool allows an unintentionally deleted operating system to be found and added to the OS Selector boot menu. Also, if an operating system on a newly connected disk was not detected automatically, you can try to add it to boot menu using this tool.

• Boot from second HDD
Generally, Windows can boot from HDD only if its boot files reside on the first (according to BIOS) hard disk. If you connect a live system HDD, taken from another computer (where it was the first disk), to your computer, where it becomes the second (third etc.) disk, boot from that HDD will be impossible, even if the hardware is identical on both computers. Acronis OS Selector now can manage situations like that and automatically set the disk order required for booting the selected operating system.
Besides, you can choose the disk order when installing an additional Windows operating system, so that its boot files will be installed on the second (third etc.) disk.

• Viewing logs
Acronis Disk Director Suite now keeps working logs. They store information about implemented partition operations, including reasons for failure, if any.

• The new Bootable Media Builder, common for all Acronis products
The new Bootable Media Builder is able to create bootable media for every Acronis product installed on the computer, or one bootable disk for several products. It also supports creating a bootable disk ISO image on the hard disk and storing the bootable programs versions on PXE server.
