Disk Director 11 Advanced Workstation, resize and booting
I have noticed some strange behavior with the ADD11 and re-sizing partitions.
With my laptop I tried to change size of the C:-partition, the windows-version informed me that it needs to reboot, but at the reboot it did not do anything and my partition was the same as before. I got good help from Acronis, but the only solution was to use the boot-image version. I think that is quite good idea anyway to change size of C:!
With my desktop I moved one backup partition. It was not in active use, so I think the Windows-version of ADD11 can move it just fine. It did not warn me about rebooting, but it did a reboot. This time it did everything as expected except that sudden reboot.
After I got some space I increased the C:-drive with the Windows-version and with the desktop computer it worked "just normal" with reboot warnings and correct reboot. It just took quite long time. My C:-drive is quite big as I have many programs and some of them quite big.
I must say I think the home version is little better, the problem is that it is little difficult to use with ABR11.

Hello Colin,
Thank you very much for your comment. I think you are very correct that the CD/USB boot is very wise when changing the C:-partition. Sometimes I like to "test the limits" of the software and hardware as it is also my job to know about these things.
I wanted to write this comment also to wonder why the move of the backup partition booted my computer and it did it without any warning. Perhaps I must study the logs. There could be a program that is one reason for this.
