Merging partitions. Black screen after rebooting.

Thread needs solution

Please help me.

I wanted to merge to partitions on the same drive and used Disk Director 12, it was updated. It prompted me to click OK and let it reboot. The monitor turned off and my drive started some activity for about two hours. then it stopped and now my PC sits there idle, without any signs of activity. This seems really bad and I don't know what to do.

Hi,

Thank you for your posting and sorry to know about your situation. I've found some discussion on a similar topic that might be helpful, take a look

https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/black-screen-after-reboot-during-resizing.232152/#post-1397020 (in short, if you have started the operation from the running OS, Acronis Disk Director needs to boot into the Linux-based environment to perform changes to a life system, so the black screen could result from the compatibility issues between Linux and your hardware. Recommendation would be to create a WinPE bootable media with Acronis Disk Director, which has better support for various hardware combinations).

Hope this helps and your PC returns to a normal state
