View Full Version : Hard Disk Manager 8.5 will not uninstall

I installed the HDMv8.5 above from a magazine disk, just to see what it offered compared to other paragon packages - just wanted a quick look and then uninstall. Unfortunately the install gave a couple of error messages about overwriting a component (driver?) which was a later version (I have B & R free v10 installed), and then the install would not close/end - it could not be closed and had to be killed to allow me to shut down. Now I cannot uninstall the product. OK, perhaps I should not have tried to look at an old version, but I really was not expecting this problem.

Has anyone got any ideas about how to uninstall this?

OK panic over - although it didn't look pretty for a while...

I uninstalled the other Paragon products/trials, and then turned to Revo Uninstaller. Stepped through with that, clearing everything it could find about HDMv8.5; then wiped out the program files folder, and then re-installed B & R Free v10 (the only thing I really wanted to keep for a while). Everything seems fine now - Revo did a good job.
