Unable to delete Windows 8 Partitions with B&R 11.5 U1
When using Disk Management in B&R 11.5 U1 to delete the existing Windows 8 partitions on a new Dell Opti 7010 system, we get the following errors:
module="149" code="9,764,884(0x950014)" message="Applying has failed.|Additional info: |--------------------|Error code: 20

The only way we have been able to get B&R to work is to is to boot to a Windows 7 Installer, delete the partitions during the Windows install, then go back to booting with B&R and applying an image. All of the necessary bios changes have been made to allow legacy boot and install of Windows 7. Any ideas as to why B&R can't modify these disks directly?

Hi,
I'm having the exact same issue and need to do the exact same thing as EvilTwin (run the boot windows 7 installation dick, delete the partition etc')
I didn't quite get your response. is it possible to delete those volumes and convert the disk to MBR?
if the build-in disk management in Acronis Backup & Recovery 11.5 is limited, what software/product you have that we can use?
EvilTwin: did you find another app that allow you to perform this operation?

Yes the thread is old, but no answer was provided and I too had this issue.
You can use the command prompt window to use Diskpart command to delete partitions that have the "fdisk probe failed" error.
Type Diskpart then Enter
DISKPART> list disk
Select the disk you want to delete, in this example it will be '0'.
DISKPART> select disk 0
DISKPART> list partition
Select the partition you want to delete, in this example it be '3'.
DISKPART> select partition 3
Use the override command to force the deletion
DISKPART> delete partition override
