Move & Copy do nothing

The first time I used DiskDirector with my drives it worked fine (a week ago) - but since then one drive failed and I've replaced it with a new drive (exact duplicate). Now when I try to copy or move a partition from one drive to another, during the reboot I get the Acronis DOS-like blue screen where DiskDirector is doing "something", it reboots after about 10 seconds, I get another Acronis DOS-like blue-screen for about 10 seconds and it continues to boot into Windows. But once in Windows, nothing has changed.

The first time, those blue-screens took a while as the partition was being copied - but no longer.

The two drives I'm copying data from/to are SATA drives and the OS is Windows XP Pro.

Any help would be appreciated!

We've got two SATA drives too and we've had this same exact problem with Disck Director 10.0. If you check the forum you'll see other people having the same issue. As a work around we found that the feature seems to work if you use the boot disk to perform the task. It's when it's in Windows XP Pro that Disk Director has a problem with copy/move. Hope that helps

 

Thanks for reconfirming! Strange that it seemed to work once though.

Yeah it worked for us at first too, but then for some strange odd reason it just stopped working Must be a bug in the system. Hopefully they're working on a fix for the next version.
