Disk Director Fails to Commit Partition

Technical support has been unresponsive, so I thought I would try the forum.

When I try to create a new partition on my notebook computer running Windows XP Pro, SP2, everything proceeds smoothly until the reboot following the choice to commit the partition. Actually, it even proceeds smoothly through all the checks and operations following reboot, until the end when it gives the message "Could not write to Disk 1, sector 0." When I choose retry, it continues to produce this message. When I choose "Ignore," it acts like it has succeeded in creating the partition, but there is in fact no partition created. Running DskChk does not resolve the problem.

Why am I unable to create this partition?

have no idea, but i solved a similar problem in the past by doing the partition work outside windows with the bootable rescue disc.

srdiamond,
I have the same problem using PE 2003. I was going to upgrade to disk director, but if your having the same problem it must be something with the sp2 thing.

kite,
The problem with working outside windows is it will work on my regular drives, but it will not recognize my SCSI drives. Before sp2 I had no problems with this software.

 

Well...
I upgraded to Disk Director 9.0 and solved all my problems including the Raid support.

It would have been nice if Acronis Support would have gotten back to me though. You would figure between leaving a post here and e-mailing support, I would get more response that the auto responder.

 

I got some help from Acronis Technical Support. After we spend considerable time on the problem, I ultimately was able to determine that you must disable Symantec Norton GoBack to install on a disk protected by that product.
