Can someone PLEASE help me. I was trying to use Acronis Director Suite 10 to merge my C: (main drive) partition and my D: (storage) partition because I was running low on diskspace on my c: drive. I tried resiszing the partition to compeltely get rid of the D: drive, but somehow, my drives were swapped. Now my D: drive is the smaller drive, and my C: drive is my storage. Now I can't even log into my OS, this is so frustrating, i've been at it since 8 this morning. Can someone PLEASE help me PLEASE!!!.

I don't even think there is an option to swap the drive, so I'm clueless as to how this happened.

jcw:

Is it possible to post a picture of your current drive layout? I've attached one here to illustrate.

If you're booting from the recovery disk version then obviously you won't be able to get a screen shot, but if you have a digital camera then perhaps you can do it that way.

The drive letters often do not come out right when viewed in the Linux recovery environment, but that doesn't mean that they were actually swapped. Perhaps we can offer some help if we can see what you currently have to work with.

Hello, and thanks for your response. I wasn't able to take any pictures, but it looks like the drives are back to normal, however, when i try to load windows, nothin happens, it gets stuck at some point during the start up, and nothing happens. Have you (or anyone) heard of this happening before?

Hi, jwc

Welcome to Wilders and Acronis Forums.

Try using FIXMBR through the recovery console , see this old post:- #2 (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=207946&postcount=2)

And if FIXMBR does not work try FIXBOOT [But type FIXBOOT instead of FIXMBR]

Take Care,
