Converting partition file system
- You would convert a FAT16 partition to FAT32 in the following cases:
• If you need a partition larger than 2 GB
• If you replace a small-capacity hard disk with a high-capacity hard disk
To convert a FAT16 partition to FAT32:
• Select the disk and FAT16 partition to convert to FAT32 from the list in the Acronis Disk Director Suite main window.
• Select Disk - Advanced - Convert or a similar item in the Advanced sidebar list or by clicking Convert on the toolbar.
• Enter partition type (Logical - Primary) in the Convert Partition window.
• By clicking OK , you'll add a pending operation of FAT16 partition conversion to FAT32 partition.
The new partition file system will be graphically represented in the Acronis Disk Director Suite main window.
Attention
• Converting a FAT16 partition to FAT32 might cause the installed operating system to stop «understanding» the file system and/or the allocation table.
