Curretnly have Acronis True Image 8.0 used for entire disk copying
on our XP laptops...

I have an old Win98se system that is currently running just fine
with a 20GB disk -
C: 2GB fat16 -
D: 2GB fat16 -
E: 16GB fat32

I would like to swap the disk out
and also increase the partitions from 2GB to 4GB with FAT32,
which Win98se supports.

What is the sequence for using Acronis True Image 8.0
to accomplish this ??

Will it run on Win98se ?

Do I have to copy each partition in sequence,
or is there some initial dialog that can specify the tasks ?

Just boot the rescue CD. You can create that in TI if you dont have one.

Use the Clone function on the initial screen. Not the Prep
New drive, that is for just basic partitioning and formatting.
Dont use the automatic resizing of partitions, manually
specify that the 2G partitions should be 4G and whatever
you want with the 16G partition to use the rest of the space.
Will it run on Win98se ?
Yes.

Do I have to copy each partition in sequence,
Nope.

Yep, the Clone function.
