Error when trying to create a logical partition

Chad:

Login to your Acronis account and download Build 2121 of ADD11. Build 216 has issues working with XP32 SP3 (although it works fine with Vista and Win7...go figure!).

I hope they have fixed the XP issues with the 2121 Build. If not, see if you can find a discounted copy of ADD10 (Build 2.160). It works great with XP32 SPx.

Ill give the update a try later tonight when I'm back at my home computer. If that doesn't work, there is no way I will pay again, for the older version of Acronis. I will try to get a refund if the update doesn't work.

Chad:

I understand your position. I did both...got the discounted ADD10 and the refund for ADD11. The way old Partition Magic 7 and 8 will also work very well with XP SPx, provided you haven't done any drive or partition edits using Acronis software.

I had the same issue on trying to Resize my partition (Windows XP, SP3, Dell Laptop)
But I was was able to proceed by using the Bootable CD version of Acronis. When selecting the media type to create I selected: "Linux-Based" and "Windows-like representation". The bootable version recognized my drive, and the data on it. And though it took a good 20 minutes (with almost no progress indication), the re-size was successful.
Hope this helps someone.
