Can my boot HD have a data partition?
With all the images I've created I always use Full backup, never incremental. So when I restore it wipes the C drive and replaces it with the boot drive from the image.
I have a 2T HD that is partitioned with 3 partitions.
1 - system reserved - 350MG
2 - boot - 100 GIG
3 - data - 1900 Gig
I want this to be a dual boot HD with my 250 Gig main boot HD. My main boot 250 gig HD is pretty lean. I'm only using about 56 gig, so it has almost 200 gig in free space.
When I use an Acronis image I made of my 250 gig boot HD and restore it to my 2T HD. It destroys all 3 partitions and creates a 2 partition HD - system reserved and OS.
Is there a way to have Acronis allow me to have a data partition on this boot HD? Or is it always going to comletely take over a HD and delete the entire HD during a restore?
