Paragon HDM 11 and Windows 7 (64 bit)

Hello,

I'm using mentioned Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2011 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

I'm not allowed to delete / resize move partitions on the laptop HDD...

I've read that Windows is protecting HDD somehow?

Any ideas how to solve this problem...


Thanks

 

what partitions are you trying to move/resize and is there an error message?

 

I'm trying to resize system partition, managed to do that with other program, but now when I click on Unallocated space with RMB I have 3 options (wipe, test surface, change sectors)

When I redistribute free space then new partition appears before system partition. Tried allready my old PM 2010 and new one 2011 - the same problem.

I'm not even able to delete partition created by windows partitioning tool...


Maybe Win 7 secures those partitions somehow ?

 

Could you please post here a screenshot of Windows Disk Management tool and Paragon program in Full scale? Maybe your partitioning configuration somehow prevent move\resize operation.

Windows Disk Management Screen:
* right-click on 'My computer' and choose 'Manage';
* select 'Disk Management' in 'Storage';
* maximize the window;
* click 'PrintScreen' key on the keyboard to capture the screen into the Windows Clipboard;
* paste the image and save it as JPG, GIF or PNG file;
* post it here

Then run Paragon HDM2011 in full scale, maximize the window and save another screen.

 

Screenshots are in German but you can easily see what happens

No "loschen" (delete/remove) possibility for example in paragon...

thanks for any help

 

According to the screenshots your system hard drive is Dynamic. Move\Resize operations are not available for Dynamic disks.

more about Dynamic disks: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-basic-and-dynamic-disks

So you have 2 opportunities:
1. Convert your HDD to Basic type and perform partitioning task
2. Keep it dynamic w\o changes.
