Downloading Acronis Align Tool

Yep, me too.  I feel WD sold a product that was supposed to work out of the box but instead sold something that didn’t work so they can force people to provide their information.  It’s also sad that I have to check “No” to indicate that I don;t want them to send me email garbage.  HD doesn’t work, registration **bleep**, and WD website is broke.  I will not go through this the next time I but a hard dirve.

Looks like the problem has been solved.  I just downloaded the software.  Now to try what should be the hard part.  Installation.

I just found out that this issue has been fixed.  You will need to register your product to download the software.

Experiencing the same issue so it does not appear to be resolved for everyone.

To be clear - I did register the HD, it does show up in my account as registered, and when I click on the registered product and follow the link to downloads and select the Acronis Align Tool I am sent back to the account main menu page.

Any suggestions appreciated

What’s your product number?

Now it’s getting ridiculous. Why would we need to register? as if we can use this software with harddrive from other brands?
Mine is mounted and screwed. This is really a bummer.  

and now, I have registered my harddrives, two of them altogether. Still same problem occurs.

:smiley:  finally figured out.
I used the link provided by online step-by-step tutorial, that’s why it didn’t work and kept kicking me to main page.
Instead, we should go to list of registered product and click download button on the right.

(the link has user id on it, that’s why using others’ won’t work…) 

I’m still not available to download the Acronis Align Tool… the download link keep taking me to the Main Page, I’ve already registered mi new WD Disk. Model WD3200AUDX

check the download link on the list of your registered drive.

anyway, be sure to backup the important data, even if it takes ages.
The process takes a whole day and because some problem, mine got interrupted and the partition is no longer recognized :expressionless:

Should be the real solution though. I’ll align the harddrive from scratch.

I have the same HDD (WD3200AUDX) from Newegg. Can’t find any info for it on this site (rediculous) and cannot download Acronis Align Tool. Did someone say this takes all day??? I must have installed dozens of HDD’s but never went through this BS. With Maxtor it was Maxblast, clone and ready to go.

I was on the phone with a rep that couldn’t find the number either. HUH??? Not too crazy about having to install this Alignment software (if I could even get it). I’m now thinking of sending it back for a refund. What a pain.

I would appreciate any help at all.

Thanks Guys.

I shouldn’t have to sign up ((twice) just to ask where to get the alignment software. It would be nice i the download link worked! Very disappointing.

Hi,

I have the same problem, but i fond it here:

Hi dude, you were right. This way it is possible to download.

Thanks.

To download the tool you should click “Downloads” link on the right of the name of your registered product,

rather than clicking the product name and then clicking various “downloads” icons on the next page 

I don’t know if anyone else is having this problem – I followed the link on the registration page, but the download froze my computer every time (five times, to be exact – four with Firefox, one with IE). I did finally successfully download with a different computer, and now have it on a flashdrive. Hmm.

So many months & still no answer? Wt… is going on? & I (used to) think WD was the best HDD company. Yea right…

WD is becomming a Pain in my backside.  I am trying to replace a drive, and need the WD Align tool.  I called support, and they told me I needed to reboot my PC.  I have done that, tried IE and FireFox, and the download button just does not work.

If I cannot get this, I will be junking the [Deleted] thing and returning it for a Seagate.  If they cannot get a download link to work on a website, how can I trust that they can build a hard drive that will store data correctly.

I have re-registered the drive, and used the download link from the drive registration…and the same think…

Someone help before the drive gets returned with a bullet hole in it!

:smiley: Hi people

I try using Internet Explorer (8) and get that download (AcronisAlignTool_s_e_2_0_111.exe).

Previous attempts, using Chrome and Firefox, were not successful (like many people).

Using IE, that  issue is resolved

 

:catvery-happy:

PS: IE is so SO slow :angry:

PS2: I used:  http://support.wdc.com/product/downloadsw.asp?sid=128

Registered my product, same problem as others, can’t d/l the Align program.

Reading other post here, I suspect that because my product is an external HDD, it only shows downloads for external HDD’s only.

Where, when and what I do, with my external HDD, is intirely my provocative.

What I’m doing at the moment is removing the HDD itself, from the external case and am going to install it inside another one of my PC’s. That PC’s HDD is about to $hit itself. Had it for years and error galour’s are happening to it, I know it’s about to die.

That PC is running XP SP3, I want to partition the drive, run windoze on a 50GB partition for example and have another partition for storage, backups or whatever, etc.

Anyway, as I was typing this, the Align program has finished d/ling from a toR_Rent site.

Far Que WD, I’ll resort to other ways of obtaining it.

Might buy my next HDD from the opposition next time. . .

Disgruntled End-User.
