Hello Kevoz,

Thank you for using Acronis Disk Managing Software (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/)

Please be aware that all operations in Acronis Disk Director (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/diskdirectorsuite/) are pending until the user issues the command for the changes to be made permanent. Until then, Acronis Disk Director Suite will only show the new partition structure that is provided by operations to be performed.
Therefore, you can view the graphical representation of the new partition structure first and then decide whether to perform or cancel specific operations.

Please try the following sequence:
> When in Disk Director create your partitions
> Before you exit the program you should execute your postponed operations by clicking on flag icon.

Thank you

Please be more specific than "in my computer". Are the drives missing from Windows Explorer or the DiskManagement console (right click My Computer, select Manage, then select Disk Management) or both ?

Is the drives and their associated physical disk showing up in Device Manager ? In Device Manager, I recommend you select View/Device by connection, and drill down through motherboard, controllers, etc to see that the volumes are connected to the physical drive.

By missing, do I assume correctly you mean not visible at all, and it's not just a matter of them not having a drive letter ?
