USB drives seen at boot time? (if needed)

I have a now fairly ancient partition-managing app.

I wish to resize partitions on an external USB drive.
The app sees the drive OK, and accepts instructions.
Then it insists on rebooting. I do not know why - the drive is used for backup only.
On reboot it cannot see the USB drive, and aborts.

Please: will Disk Director do better?

Thank you! - I'll try it out.-)}

 

That worked! and quickly;

but(!) -
when the task was finished Windows showed an error Message Box quoting:

Instruction: 0x01110280
Memory: 0x00000000
could not be: written

I have no idea of the significance of this.
Google seems not to have heard of 0x01110280 either.
