 Disk Director August 24, 2008
I recently purchased the Acronis Disk Director for the purpose of partitioning my disk. I have never done this before and it was easy to do. After that I added a second disk to my system and used Disk Director to format and partition it also. Works great and easy to use.
Performed as Advertised - I am Pleased August 11, 2008
This was my first time to partition a drive. I am an experienced user and it still took me a few tries to get it. Acronis has received great reviews and this product performed as advertised. I am pleased.

This software worked perfectly for me. My aging, but serviceable, VIAO desktop with XP came with a small c: partition and a much larger d: partition. The c: partition was so full that I could not download large files or install new programs. In fact, I had to delete some stuff just to get the Acronis software installed. The Acronis wizard to resize partitions was very simple -- a couple of mouse clicks, adjust a slider to specify how much space to transfer from the d: partition to the c: partition, another mouse click, and sit back and watch it get done. It solved my problem and added a couple of more years to my desktop.
I haven't used the many other functions available, but I can say that the resize function is robust enough to compensate for my initial mistake. On my first try at using the resize wizard I hit cancel midway through, which was taking a big chance. I had forgotten to turn off my screen saver, which may or may not have made a difference, and I had not adjusted the space allocation slider, which would have transferred way too much space to the c: partition. The program continued with step 1 of the resize function by taking away 40 gigs of space from the d: partition before recognizing the cancel request. When I checked the partitions, I found that the c: partition had not been increased in size (step 2 of the algorithm), but the d: partition was now missing 40 gigs. I ran the resize wizard again, this time specifying that the d: partition be increased by 40 gigs, but when it asked which partition to take the 40 gigs from, I left the boxes unchecked and hoped for the best. It worked perfectly. The Acronis software took the 40 gigs from unallocated disk space and reassigned it to the d: partition, thus returning my system to its original configution. Finally, I ran the resize wizard again with the screen saver off and the space allocation slider properly adjusted, and it worked exactly as I described in the first paragraph. So in spite of my best efforts to screws things up, this software did exactly what I needed done.
Did what I wanted it to do July 6, 2008
I have a newer ACER laptop. ACER creates four partitions on this notebook (and others, with two partitions "hidden"), most notably a C: drive for applications and a D: drive for data. I, personally, have never liked multiple partitions and always have more apps than data. So, after a few months, the app partition was filling and the data partition was not. If I could have my way, I would have only ONE partition, a C: drive. For backup of this ACER, I use an external drive and Acronis True Image s/w. This s/w saves a complete image of EVERYTHING on the drive, including ALL partitions. I have used Acronis for several years on other computers. Running Vista, things have changed so the old "Norton Partition Magic" doesn't work anymore. Acronis Disk Director s/w claims to work with Vista so I purchased at a good price from an Amazon seller. Desire was to increase the size of the C: drive while decreasing the size of the D:. Left the other two ACER defined partitions alone because I was afraid to mess with them. Before running Disk Director, created an image of the whole drive with Acronis True Image just in case. Change in partititioning was successful although there were a few scarey moments when Acronis said it had to "repair" something. Bottom line, Aconis Disk Director worked and this seller provided a better value for this s/w than some others.
 Dangerous - Crashed My Windows XP PC June 28, 2008

My rating is a ZERO.
This product is not only worthless it causes havoc with your PC.
After trying to use this product once I had to spend hours rescuing my computer from its clutches when it failed to perform tasks such as resizing a partition, froze my computer and then finally crashed it.
Would not uninstall - I had to manually hack through the registry to get rid of this abomination.
My computer is a Dell Desktop PC with 2Gigs of RAM and Windows XP (not SP3) but with all the other updates
I have used Norton in the past but will now use Paragon Partition Manager, version 9.0 as its free trial download installed easily, performed perfectly and has solved all my problems.
I am going to try and return Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 but not sure if Amazon will take back opened software. If not I'll physically shred my copy.
