Disk Director: Unable to write script

Last weekend, I tried to split the only partition my SATA harddrive into two. Using the wizard of Disk Director 9.0 #518, I set up a new partition of 40GB. But when trying to commit the changes, I receive an error message saying "Unable to write script". What's that all about

Thank you for your help,

Hello Andrew,

thank you for forwarding the email because I either never received it or it got stuck in a spam filter. I will addthe acronis domain to the trusted list to avoid the second option.

I downloaded the file you mentioned and installed it. When I received the error again (Unable to write script file), I installed the file again with logging enabled per your instructions. The report file is being sent to support@acronis.com with as an attachment for your review; the subject of the email is "Unable to write script file".

Thanks for following up,

Thomas

 

I should add that a "CHKDSK /f" revealed a problem as well: "Unable to lock drive".
