A reboot is required when you move the boot volume of the currently running Windows operating

system, the system volume, or the active volume.

5.5 Merging basic volumes

This operation lets you merge two adjacent basic volumes, even if their file systems are different. All

data will remain intact and reside on the resultant volume. The resultant volume will have the same

label, letter and file system as the main volume—that is, the volume to which data from the other

volume will be added.

Free space requirements. The combined amount of free space on the main volume and on the other

volume must be at least 5 percent of the size of data on the other volume. For example, if files and

folders on the other volume occupy 100 GB, you need a combined total of 5 GB of free space, for

example 2 GB on one volume and 3 GB on another.

To merge basic volumes

1. Right-click the volume that you need to be merged, and then click Merge volume.

2. Select another volume you need to merge.

In Main volumes, specify which one of the selected volumes will be considered as a main. Data

from the other volume will be added to a separate folder on the main volume. This folder will be

named according to the volume label and volume letter (if present); for example: Merged

Volume 'System' (C)

3. Click OK to add the pending volumes merging operation.

At the bottom of the window, you can estimate how the resultant volume will look like after the

merging.

The results of the pending operation are immediately displayed as if the operation was performed.

To perform the pending operation you will have to commit (p. 22) it. Exiting the program without

committing the pending operations will effectively cancel them.

Merging an NTFS volume to a volume with a file system that does not support security options (for example,

FAT32 volume), will result in the loss of security settings (volume ownership data and access permissions). With

the opposite action (merging a non-secured volume to a secured one), the main volume security settings will be

assigned to the resultant volume.

5.6 Formatting a volume

The formatting operation prepares a volume to store files and folders, by creating a file system on it.

Caution: Formatting destroys all data that is currently stored on the volume.

You may want to format a volume in the following cases:

 When you are creating the volume. In this case, the formatting window is part of the

Create Volume Wizard.

 When you want to quickly destroy data on the volume—for example, as a security best practice.

 When you want to change the volume’s file system to later store files more efficiently.

To format a volume

1. Right-click the volume that you want to format, and then click Format.

2. In File system, select the file system that you want to create on the volume. The NTFS file system

is recommended for most Windows operating systems.
