Unable to delete Windows 8 Partitions with B&R 11.5 U1

Thread needs solution

When using Disk Management in B&R 11.5 U1 to delete the existing Windows 8 partitions on a new Dell Opti 7010 system, we get the following errors:

module="149" code="9,764,884(0x950014)" message="Applying has failed.|Additional info: |--------------------|Error code: 20
Module: 149|LineInfo: d959f80cf9ecc440|Fields: $module : DiskBundleEx_glx_pic_37613|Message: Applying has failed.|--------------------|Error code: 404
Module: 54|LineInfo: 490dc54208acb94a|Fields: $module : DiskBundleEx_glx_pic_37613|Message: Fdisk probe has failed.|--------------------|Error code: 34819
Module: 16|LineInfo: 794b18b45e2307e7|Fields: $module : DiskBundleEx_glx_pic_37613|Message: Cannot delete the volume: it is currently in use

The only way we have been able to get B&R to work is to is to boot to a Windows 7 Installer, delete the partitions during the Windows install, then go back to booting with B&R and applying an image. All of the necessary bios changes have been made to allow legacy boot and install of Windows 7. Any ideas as to why B&R can't modify these disks directly?

Hello EvilTwin,

Thank you for posting this question in our forum. I am happy to assist you. 

Using the build-in disk management in Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 you have only a limited set of possible operations available. See Disk operations for more detailed information.

If you need additional assistance, please contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.

If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm having the exact same issue and need to do the exact same thing as EvilTwin (run the boot windows 7 installation dick, delete the partition etc')

I didn't quite get your response. is it possible to delete those volumes and convert the disk to MBR?
if the build-in disk management in Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 is limited, what software/product you have that we can use?

EvilTwin: did you find another app that allow you to perform this operation?

Yes the thread is old, but no answer was provided and I too had this issue.

You can use the command prompt window to use Diskpart command to delete partitions that have the "fdisk probe failed" error.

Type Diskpart then Enter

DISKPART> list disk

Select the disk you want to delete, in this example it will be '0'.

DISKPART> select disk 0

DISKPART> list partition

Select the partition you want to delete, in this example it be '3'.

DISKPART> select partition 3

Use the override command to force the deletion

DISKPART> delete partition override
