Could not resize C:, Acronis says min=max=actual

Using Disk Director 10 2160 boot CD, I was able to move 2 partitions to the far right of drive creating unallocated space just to the right of the Cartition. Rebooted to XP and XP saw that partitions moved to far right successfully.

Then went back to DD boot CD, right-clicked C: and selected Resize. The resulting screen seemed like it would let me move C: with space to left and right, but not change the size (the size field was grayed out). Also noticed that same screen showed “Minimum=40GB Maximum=40GB” which happens to be the actual size of the C: partition.

Thank you for any help.

 

Are there any bad sectors in the C: partition? A chkdsk report will tell you. DD won't resize partitions with bad sectors.

Can you post a screenshot of what DD shows (in Manual Mode) for your drives and partitions?

 

Thank you MudCrab. A "chkdsk /R" from XP Recovery Console "found and fixed one or more errors". Then DD10 CD Resized C: with no problem.
