Couldnt Start the partition process
I was trying to use Disk Director 11 home to resize my local disk C, which is out of space. What i did was i resize the adjacent local disk D to give 20GB unallocated free space. Then I created a volume by the 20GB space. That should have worked when I was trying to merge the local disk C and the new disk(namely, J), and everything worked fine until I applied for the change. Then I got errors, which are showed below and from the error log. Could anyone help me with that? Thank you a lot in advance
I just got confused a little bit. The recovery CD you are talking about, is it the Windows CD that you use with to install the Windows? If so, I got what you are saying. However, If I do my partition that way, would that delete my datas since the formatting is required when partitioning. Besides, What i am trying to use is the Aronis disk director 11 home, which i assume I can partition the disk through the desktop if that is what its meant to do. However, my problem is that I dont know why that I can resize my E disk and F disk which are not my target since the one I want to resize is the C disk, but turns out I got internal errors everytime i am trying to do that
I moved this reply from a PM to the original forum post so that anyone who runs across this issue might benefit from any solution that we find.
No - the recovery CD is not a Windows CD. You need to make an Acronis recovery CD using the program. There is a feature called "Bootable Media Builder" in Disk Director 11 that lets you create a recovery CD. You make this CD and then boot your PC from it.
Using the Windows version of Disk Director is fine for any operation that does not affect the Windows system partition. That's why you could successfully resize your E and F disks. But you should not use it to modify the partition that Windows is running from (your C partition). Instead, boot your PC from the Acronis recovery CD and try the resize operation there.
First of all, Thank you so much for answering my questions over and over again. And I got what you are saying and going to try that. However, there is a little question. if what you said about that I cant resize the disk where I am running my OS from. but why I cant resize my D disk either where there is nothing related to the OS I assume. Thank you again, I really appreciate it
Perhaps because you can only resize a partition when there is unallocated free space next to the partition.
