Unable to boot Paragon Partition Manager v9.5's bootable recovery CD.

Hello.

I downloaded, installed, and registered Paragon's 32-bit Partition Manager, version 9.5, build 8713 (05.08.09) Personal into my 32-bit Windows XP Pro. SP2. I also burned a bootable recovery CD from it. I have two issues:

1. I tried to boot it up on my fairly new 64-bit Acer AM3800 machine, but it hangs at its boot up. I also tried using its safe mode, low graphic mode (it beeps rapidly forever), detect OSes hangs with .............# in text mode, etc. I tried the same CD on another computer and it had no problems booting it up.

2. Does this bootable recovery CD have options to resize, create, modify, convert, etc. for hard drives? I do not see these options like in the installed Windows product. It only seems to recovery and fix.

Thank you in advance.

 

The recovery CD is fairly limited compared to the installed product - made for recovery only. If you require the same amount of feature on a bootable CD, I'd recommend creating a BartPE CD instead.

Ah thanks. I was expecting it to be like PartitionMagic, parted, etc.
