Acronis Disk Director: SnapAPI drive is skipped due to an error

Hi,

I have set up a task for repartitioning, so I clicked on Commit. It went to restart and while loading Acronis it warned me about some error - it couldn't get handle to some object with some ID or something like that.

After that I have booted Windows (win 7) up and reviewed Acronis's log. There it says a few dozen times:

Code: 1.098.852(0x10C464)
Module: 16

and amidst all of that one slightly different event:

Code: 1.098.852(0x10C464)
Module: 16
Message: 1098852, 0, 16080907881207046595, , SnapAPI drive is skipped due to an error. 1098759, 0, 16080907881207046594, , TEXT_FDISK_ERROR_WINDOWS_CONSTRUCTING_DISK_SNAPAPI_GETDRIVEINFO. 9, 3221225480, 12391010412141252161, , The handle is invalid

Does anyone know what that is, exactly?

Any help much appreciated.

 

Even though I do not usually like to reply to myself...

I have booted the machine up with the medium created through Director. From there it went better and I could see operation steps performed. The first three of four steps passed without any error, but in the fourth one it reported that the file system is corrupt and that I should run chkdsk, even though it showed new and desired drive size. So I booted to Windows and did just that. It found some (minor) errors and fixed them during the following start up.

Then, I was in another peril - Disk Management and DiskPart (basically the same thing) showed new, increased size, and Windows Explorer and Command Prompt showed the old one. I was puzzled until I found the solution in one forum. DiskPart has one more (let's say hidden or not adequatly documented) command - "extend filesystem". While "extend" really extends only a partition or a volume, "extend filesystem" does it to a filesystem itself. After that even Explorer and Cmd reported the new size.

Hope this will help somebody.
