None of the suggestions as to recovering the lost space worked for me (VISTA Home Premium). Lost 6 GB on a 55 GB partition after running new Defraggler. Had to restore my drive from an image backup! Running the 'Check drive for problems' restored about 1/3 of the lost space; deleting Restore Points did nothing. Would be afraid to trust this software until these problems are solved.
I need to add that, prior to Defraggler, my partition was about half used, and half freespace.
Defraggler and Acronis True Image 11 Problem
in Defraggler
Posted
After beginning to use Defraggler I began having a regular problem with my Acronis True Image 11 restore function. Five or six seconds into the restore, during its analyze phase, ATI11 would issue a message saying Partition Error Run List Corrupted...! After researching on the Acronis Web Site, and on the internet, I found that others were having a similar problem, and a few mentioned doing a defrag just prior to attempting a restore. To see if my problem was indeed related to defrag, I stopped running Defraggler, and de-installed it. I have not had the problem since (over a month)! For a test, I restored one of the known bad images (ATI11 was just imaging a partition that had the errors already) onto a spare external partition. I then ran 'CHKDSK /R' against the partition and CHKDSK found 4 errors! Just a heads up to Defrag developers and to fellow users. I shall watch this topic from time to time!
