Acronis disk director 10 partition manager very old

[Guest Kris]

I got Acronis (I'm licensed) DD 10 and found out too late that it has a 5

year old 2.4 kern on the recovery disk. After 11 emails to their tech

support (one person) he is unable to coax it to see my mouse AND my IDE

drive. The old kern is not appropriate for even my 1 yr old mobo, even in

legacy mode.

 

Extremely important to me also is that it offers illegal choices - click on

an empty space outside of and non-contiguous to extended area, and with 3

other primary partitions and it offers BOTH primary and extended, both of

which are illegal. it created an overlapping area on my HD which it then

did not detect, and FIXMBR did not fix. I did fix it only by imaging all

individual partitions to another drive and blanking the bad one and imaging

back. I have pointed this out to Acronis tech support but he had no idea

what I was saying.

 

A much better choice for partition manager imho would be Paragon's new

Partition Manager 9 (I'm licensed). It detected that erroneous partition

table overlap immediately. It also offers only correct choices for what to

do with undefined space and thus keeps you out of trouble. Paragon's PM is

based on the old 7tools PM which I have known and loved for a long time.

 

Eons ago I used PQPM and was licensed up to 8.1 but damned if I'll give

Symantic $70! And no I won't bitstream it though they're many copies of it

out there.

 

Many Linux based CDs correctly detect my system - GPARTED, UBUNTU,

FREESPIRE, etc.

Are you posting this to slam Acronis or are you trying to ask a

question?

 

Neither is appropriate here.
