Hiding a partition
- Acronis Disk Director Suite allows you to hide a partition. It can be useful for protecting important information from unauthorized or casual access. Unlike other software, Acronis Disk Director Suite can hide any partition independent of its type, primary or logical.
To hide a partition:
• Select a disk and a partition to hide in the list in the Acronis Disk Director Suite main window.
• Select Disk - Advanced - Hide or a similar item in the Advanced sidebar list or by clicking Hide on the toolbar.
• By clicking OK in the Hide Partition window, you'll add a pending operation to partition hiding.- A hidden partition is labeled Hid in the Flags field of partition list in the main window.
- Attention
• Hiding a system partition will prevent your PC from booting. Hiding a swap file partition in Windows NT/2000/XP will produce a similar result. If you have several primary partitions with different operating systems, hiding an active system partition will automatically make another partition active.
• Note that the Advanced - Hide sidebar item is changed to Advanced - Unhide after you select a hidden partition from the list. The partition context menu also changes.
• Hiding a partition in Windows 95/98/Me can change the order of letters assigned to other partitions. As a result, some shortcuts might stop working. In Windows NT/2000/XP, hiding a partition does not affect letters assigned to other partitions. As a result, only hidden partition shortcuts will stop working.
