System partition is dynamic

Thread needs solution

Have done a clean reinstall of Win8 (UEFI).

Have installed latest True Image 2013.

However, this (worked earlier) time I get the message that Cannot start Try@Decide because system disk is dynamic.

Searched different solutions without luck and using latest versions and still not working.

Any others with a bright head?

Take a look at this kb article. http://kb.acronis.com/content/34863
If you have installed Windows 8 in UEFI mode using GPT disk layout, Try and Decided is not supported.

I'm only a volunteer here on the Forums and am not privy to the engineering of the software.

There are limitations of True Image 2013 by Acronis, and are plainly stated in the User guide that can be viewed before purchase online.

As stated on Page 14 of the User guide:

"* True Image 2013 does not support the following dynamic volume types: Mirrored and RAID-5. There are some additional limitations on operations with dynamic and GPT disks:
 To perform operations with dynamic disks, you need separately purchased True Image 2013 Plus Pack
 Creation of Acronis Secure Zone on dynamic disks is not supported
 Recovery of a dynamic volume as a dynamic volume with manual resizing is not supported
 Try&Decide® cannot be used for protecting dynamic and GPT disks
 "Clone disk" operation is not supported for dynamic disks"

If you need any additional information, you should contact Acronis support directly.
