Acronis Disk Director 12: ERROR- "Failed to obtain actual information about the disk sub system"

Thread needs solution

I am getting the error message in Acronis Disk Director 12: - "Failed to obtain actual information about the disk sub system"

Details window:
Code: 9,764,873(0x950009)
Message: Failed to create View.

Code: 3,539,346(0x360192)
Message: Fdisk operation has failed.

Code: 1,051,649(0x100C01)

Code: 1,051,649(0x100C01)

I can't find any info on the KB. This is a desk top PC running Windows 10. Disk Director hasn't worked since the W10 upgrade.

Any ideas?
Thanks
Kevin

I'm getting the same error, appears that DD12 is not yet Windows 10 compatible.

For a company with the reputation of Acronis to be this far behind (Windows 10 was beta in October 2014) is unfathomable.

Hello,

At the moment Windows 10 is not officially supported, please note than we don’t guarantee correct product work on this system.

Best regards.

Hello Alex,

DD12 was failing during Windows 8.1 and I have now upgraded to Windows 10 with no change to the problem. I see I am not the only custormer with this issue. What is Acronis doing about it?

 

Regards

Kevin

Response from Acronis was that they have no ETA on a Windows 10 update.  Bought EaseUS Partition Master Pro and chaslked up the lost money to expeirience.  BTW, Acronis won't refund you money.

Customer Service certinaly is NOT their strong point. :-(

 

I have windows 7 and the exact same message is popping up.  So their reply that it is not ready for windows 10 is a cop out. What will the Support QA engineer say now?  I am surprised Acronis has this issue has for older OS versions it says it is compatible with.  Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Richard,

The problem you are experiencing may be caused by different reasons (hardware related, incompatibility with other Acronis products installed in your system).

In order to understand what is causing the issue I suggest you contact our Support Team:

http://www.acronis.com/en-us/support/

Before you do that check your disks with the CHKDSK command and collect the system information (please attach it to your support case):
