Just to see if Acronis would check my actions for dangerous operations though I decided to give it a try. Even when software such as Acronis Disk Director is working as intended it doesn’t mean that we will not tell it to do something we don’t understand the full scope of until it is too late. Having a full system backup on an external drive or saved to the cloud using a program such as Acronis True Image would be a good idea as well. As a side note I’d also suggest you keep your Windows DVD (if you have one) close by or create a Windows System Repair Disc before you mess with any partitions or drives. When creating the media you can make a 32 or 64 bit (UEFI support) version along with including both which you can then choose from on the medias boot menu. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once you’ve chosen your disc and created a bootable copy you should reboot, ensure you can run it and reach the Acronis Disk Director tools which will present you with a setup pretty much the same as that seen from within Windows. There would be no harm in making one of each and testing them out to see which you prefer. In past incidents I’ve personally found the Linux based discs to be more helpful when dealing with failing (but not quite dead) drives as the Windows PE based discs would sometimes choke just like the OS would resulting in extremely lengthy boot up times while it tries to make sense of things.
