"beta version"
Version: Acronis Disk Director Home 11
Pros
Can detect numerous of operating systems
Cons
Unable to handle several important Linux operating systems
Limited partition management (Opensource bases solutions still offer better support and easier handling)Summary
I used disk director 10 with great pleasure and great frustration.
Pleasure because of the ease it was able to detect operating systems and frustration because it was not able to.
I wrote the support of Acronis about this problem in the past, without any response.
Version 10 of disk director was unable to handle for instance Sabayon and Chakra Linux (and several others) if the bootloader was installed into the partition instead of the MBR.
So it was only able to detect Sabayon if I installed Grub into the MBR.
If I installed the bootloader into the partition the operating system was installed to it was unable to detect it.
I tried over 60 different Linux systems out of Distrowatch.com and this problem occured on several occasions.
So I decided to give 11 a try as Demo in order to prevent to waiste my money, and luckely I did. version 11 still has the same decease as version 10 which is very disappointing.
Ok, the interface had a nice upgrade but if the system is still the same I do not see why I have to upgrade. Also for partition management opensource solutions such as Gparted or Parted Magic still perform much better (which I am still using despite having bought version10).
Still no support for OpenBSD end NetBSD (shame on you)
You have been warned.
