On this wizard page, select disks and partitions for back up. This list displays the physical hard disks installed in your system and the current partitions on them. If there are any dynamic volumes in the system, they will be shown in one group named Dynamic Volumes.

Information in this list is presented in five columns.

Partition - The name of the hard disk or of the partition in the format <volume label>(<drive letter>:)
Flags - The type of the partition. Options are:
- Pri - Primary partition
- Act - Active (bootable) partition
- No flags indicate a logical drive
Capacity - The full partition size.
Used space - The size taken by current data stored in the partition. This shows the amount of data to be backed up.
Information - For a partition - the file system type. For a hard disk - the name in the BIOS.

Select a check box next to a disk or partition if you want to include that disk or partition in the disk image. The check box for a disk item has three-states:

Clear - None of the partitions belonging to the disk is selected.
Selected - All of the partitions belonging to the disk are selected.
Undetermined - Some of the disk partitions are selected.

At the bottom of the list a total size for the selected partitions is displayed.

Note

You can only select partitions formatted with a supported file system. Partitions with other file systems or unformatted partitions, cannot be selected and are shown without a check box. Partitions without a drive letter will display a number with a colon instead of the drive letter.
