Older Disc Director Suite compatible to Windows 7?

Thread needs solution

For True image I buy allways the latest upgrade, because I use it very often.
Disc director suite 9 is used poorly and I hope, there is no problem to use it with windows 7, boted from CD. Is here a risk?

Sorry, my terrible english is understandible....

Horst,

Your biggest problem will be that Disk Director 9 will not be able to work with the new Microsoft sector system. If you intend to use OSS, I'm not sure about DD9, but DD10 has difficulty with Vista and W7, but can be made to work.

I think if you need to use Disk Director, you will probably need to wait and buy DD11 when it is released.

What do you use DD9 for?

Just to change to change the border between two partitions.
e.g. I need a part of the extendet partition to increase the system-Partition.

I installed DD9 on Win 7 x64 and low and behold, it crashed with a BSOD that flashes so fast it can't be read. I would love some detailed information on what keys/files to DELETE, what registry entries to make for a proper boot after the deletion, and the phone number to someone who will come smack me in the face for installing an old product like this on a new platform without checking the compat here!

Jason,

Are you able to boot into safe mode? If so, you might be lucky and be able to uninstall DD9.

The registry entries of interest will be upper and lower filter entries. I don't have to hand parent registry folder, but I'llsee if I can find it, should uninstalling not work.

and the phone number to someone who will come smack me in the face

Are you willing to pay airfares to receive a 'smack in the face' :) ?

You could also try booting into the Last Known Good Configuration (use that option from the Windows F8 - Safe Mode menu).

Thanks for the replies! Surprisingly enough, "Last Known Good" frickin worked. I must say it is the first time ever i used it and it worked. Problem, and crisis have been averted. Thanks for the quick response!

@ Colin, come on now, if I'm offering the free smack in the face you at least have to show some effort!
