Obby,
What build of DD11 are you using?
Is this the disk that contains the system or a different drive?
Where abouts are you clicking? If you select from the top panel the option doesn't appear, if you select from the bottom linear panel on the disk number the option should appear.
Note I'm using DD11 Advanced, but DD11 should be the same in this respect.

Hi Colin, thanks for the reply. I was clicking in the 'longer area' and not by the drive letter as you illustrate! Thanks for the response, lets hope it does as it should!
Regards
Obby

I'm using Disk Director 12.5 and do not see the clone option after following the advice on this thread. I just paid $50 for this software so that I an clone my disk and it doesn't work? What gives?

Hello Ricardo,
thank you for your posting! The feature might be unavailable for basic GPT disks https://kb.acronis.com/content/47030

I am having a similar issue. I have a GPT disk that contains my boot on one NFTS partition and a small partition that is FAT32. I think this older format might be preventing me from cloning and/or converting to an MBR to clone. Is there a way to delete this older formatted partition and will that allow me to clone?
