Explore partitions
- You can explore and manage partitions contents before configuring operations on that partitions directly from the Acronis Disk Director Suite.
To explore a partition:
• Select a partition to be explored.
• Select Disk - Explore or a similar item in the Operations sidebar list or by clicking Explore on the toolbar.
• The program displays a folder tree. Now you can explore or manage the partition contents. You can create, copy and paste files and folders and delete files on the selected partition. To do so, right-click on the file/folder or use icons above the folder tree.- You are also enabled to view or edit text files up to 64 kb in size. To do so, right-click on the file and select Edit. To illustrate why it may be necessary, imagine that your operating system failed to boot. You can run Acronis Disk Director Suite from Acronis OS Selector main window (if the program is not installed, start it from bootable disk), and change some critical files contents.
Note
• Acronis OS Selector also allows editing text files, but only those included into system files list.
• The Explore operation shows the real partition contents, read from the disk. If there are some operations pending, like splitting a partition, you will not be able to explore partitions until the operations are committed or canceled. However, operations on folders/files in Explore window are executed immediately.
• When you're finished exploring, click OK .
