Disk Director 12 - boot CD failure
I am setting up Windows 10 Home (as a second boot partition) on a Samsung 840 SSD for a Dell XPS 8700 computer. It is currently running Windows 7 Home on a Samsung 850 SSD.
When I try to boot into Disk Director 12 from the CD that I created, it hangs after about a minute. I see lots of text on the screen, but it doesn't really mean anything to me. Sometimes it shows different messages. I can get my camera and take a picture or two ...

Thank you for the response!
I will read through those articles, and create a WinPE boot CD.

I just realized that I was using version 11 of Disk Director. I just purchased Disk Director 12 today to create the Win PE boot media.
So far I have been unable to install it. I keep getting an error message from Acronis OS selector (which I did NOT install):
E000101F4: Acronis OS Selector has not found any hard disk drives.

Hi Rick, try to apply recommendations from https://forum.acronis.com/comment/457826#comment-457826

I tried following those suggestions a few days ago, and it screwed up my software configuration - I could no longer run Acronis Disk Director. I had to restore last week's Acronis image backup.
I will try again ...

This time, I decided not to use Control Panel to uninstall Disk Director 11. I assumed that the initial unsuccessful uninstall attempt adversely affected the other steps I tried a few weeks ago.
I downloaded the Microsoft FixIt (file name: MicrosoftProgram_Install_and_Uninstall.meta.diagcab). When I ran it, it found the registry information for Disk Director 11, and the uninstall was successful. Then I was able to install Disk Director 12.5 with no issues.
