Hello,

my build is 11.0.216.
My System is a Lenovo SL 300 Notebook with Windows XP SP3, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD.
The HDD contains one primary partition with 15 GB, two logical partitions with about 100 and 135 GB.
My targets are:

1) Merging the two logical volumes to one
2) Minimizing the "new" logical partition for 10 GB.
3) Maximizing the primary partition for 10 GB.

At first I tried the installed version of Disk Director. I applied only the first command to merge the two logical volumes to one. Disk Director requires a reboot and after rebooting it fails with the error:

"Error:
Text: The command uses a missing object
Code: 00360198 441E730962703F63
Suberror:
Code: 00360197 58A1AE92511B0306"

Then I tried the Boot-CD:
It fails, too:
When loading Disk Director appears the message:
"ACPI: Could not use EDCT"
Then the Boot-CD is loading a while and Disk Director starts up.
But there is my internal HDD not existing - only the attached USB-HDD appears in Disk Director.

Sorry, but I was a little angry that I bought an original software and then it doesnt work !
Because I had to do these partition operations immediately I used the free Gparted Software from Boot-CD. It took some hours - but all operations worked fine.

Perhaps, somebody can give me further information to use Disk Director successfully.
For the moment I have no such operations to test the new build from the acronis-download.

Best greetings

martin

Martin:

Login to your Acronis account and download Build 2121 of ADD11. Build 216 has issues working with XP32 SP3 (although it works fine with Vista and Win7...go figure!).

I hope they have fixed the XP issues with the 2121 Build. If not, see if you can find a discounted copy of ADD10 (Build 2.160). It works great with XP32 SPx.

I am getting similiar problems too with "missing object" errors, and the bootable version not recognising internal hard drives. This is disgusting. We pay good money for a program that does not work on all normal computers.

For me it's with 11.02121 - the latest version, right?

I had the same issue on trying to Resize my partition (Windows XP, SP3, Dell Laptop)
But I was was able to proceed by using the Bootable CD version of Acronis. When selecting the media type to create I selected: "Linux-Based" and "Windows-like representation". The bootable version recognized my drive, and the data on it. And though it took a good 20 minutes (with almost no progress indication), the re-size was successful.
Hope this helps someone.
