No ability to change file system type

Thread needs solution

Acronis Disk Director 12, build 12.0.3223
Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center x64

Select a basic GPT disk with NTFS formatting, the help file says I should be able to right click and find an option to "Convert to MBR"

Nope. Not there. Any ideas?

Nevermind: operator error (what a surprise). Click on the DISK graphical element, not on a partition graphical element. D'oh!

Okay, back to being a problem. When I go to commit the change, Disk Director puts up the "Pending Operations" message box, I hit the Continue button, and press OK on the confirmation required button for the reboot, and after a moment, Acronis Disk Director 12 stops working and goes away...

Hello Neil,

I created a support case for you and you will be contacted very soon by one of our support professionals.

In the meanwhile you can check if the issue persist if you start the operation from Acronis Bootable Media.

Thank you.

You will find MANY situations in various posts here where ATIH works just fine in the pre-Windows (Linux) boot environment but not in Widows. Also, generally it is safer to do disk restore operations and similar in the boot environment.
