Editor's Review
Disk Director Home by Acronis is a partition and disk management software utility that will help you manage your hard drive, recover accidentally lost or deleted partitions, and install and boot multiple operating systems on your computer.
This is definitely one for the technologically savvy out there, although Acronis Disk Director does offer two modes of operation: automatic with the help of step-by-step wizards, and manual mode which is the more useful but also the more dangerous of the two as a wrong move can result in a wiped partition.
There are four main components to Disk Director Home Edition:
Partition Expert enables you to split, merge, move, copy or resize partitions on-the-fly without losing data (something that Windows XP can't do).
OS Selector is a multibooting OS loader that can handle in excess of 100 operating systems and allow you to boot into them from any partition.
Recovery Expert provides a quick and simple means to restore lost or deleted partitions.
Disk Editor, which acts as both a drive repair tool for restoring boot records, as well as an advanced hexadecimal editor.
The new addition to version 11 of the suite adds the ability to split one partition into two while leaving your data intact, or merge two into one if you prefer. It's incredible that you can do this without harming your data even if the file systems on the partitions are different.
The Disk Director Home 11 is the kind of application you buy when you have real need, and it will appeal to those who like to build or repair PC's. By itself, it's a must-have suite of utilities for anyone interested in setting up and organizing their data on a separate drive letter, installing another operating system, or wanting a little extra insurance in case disaster strikes.
Acronis Disk Director Home: What we liked
It works pretty quickly and without disturbing the files and folders already stored on your hard drive.
There is the new ability to split a partition into two and to merge two partitions into one, in both cases leaving existing data intact.
The interface is similar to Windows Explorer and enables you to quickly view partition data before actually doing any partitioning action itself. The graphics are smooth, and menu items and screen layout are clean.
Acronis Disk Director Home: What we didn't like
It is complicated for beginners because thorough understanding of partitions and file systems is required to handle manipulation of partitions.
There is limited support for GPT disks and dynamic disks.
Acronis Disk Director Home Support
There is phone support, however you have to pay for it. Online support, on the other hand, comes without cost and includes user guides, forums and FAQs available on the website. There is also limited email support.
