Getting error when resizing a partition with Disk Director 12 booting from CD.

Thread needs solution

My question is has anyone ever seen something like this before and does anyone have a solution?

Here is the story.

1) Using Windows 10 on a 2 TB SSD.

2) Restored the OS from an Acronis True Image Backup made sector by sector. There seemed to be a problem with the drive that caused this. The original drive was 1TByte HDD.

3) Restored the image to a new drive on different hardware, The  drive is a 2TB SSD. It seemed to go OK and the system booted. Was able to log in etc. dism ran correctly so the OS seems to be OK

4) Since the new drive is twice as large as the original disk I used Disk Director 12 to resize the partitions and there are a number of partitions. This worked correctly except for the Windows partition, This gave me an error but it appeared to resize the partition.

5) When I went back into Windows I found that the Windows partition (C:) was the same size and was not enlarged but when I went into the Windows Disk Management in the control panel it looks like the partition was enlarged. The Windows file manager shows 495GByte for the Windows partition (C:) but the Disk Management tool in the control panel shows 996Gbyte. This is the first time I have seen somethin like this.

Any suggestions would be appeciated.

Thanks,

Thomas

Thomas, have you rebooted the computer since seeing this issue?

Typically, if you boot from CD after doing a normal shutdown of Windows 10, then you may not actually be in a true shutdown state, but rather be in a hybrid sleep / hibernation state where changes made outside of Windows are not correct reflected in the file system when the computer restarts and restored back from the hybrid state.

I would recommend doing a CHKDSK C: /F to see if this will resolve the mismatch situation - you will be told that this will need to be scheduled for a restart because of Windows being active.
