Bootable version rejects valid image

Using TI 11, I made 2 images. One is a 4 GB image of a full partition C, the other is a 500 MB image of some files in a data partition.

When I boot with the full bootable TI 11, the system hangs while attemting to read the 4 GB image. It hangs before posting the name of the image. It works well with the 500 MB image.

When I boot with the bootable TI 10, the system says that the 4 GB image is invalid.

When I boot into Windows, the regular TI 11 recognises the 4 GB image and makes the recovery without any problems.

The problem with the bootable TI occurs whether the image is on a DVD or on a hard disk.

It is very time consuming to move disks around to use the Windows TI. I would appreciate if the bootable TI worked as well as the Windows TI.

Thanks.

 

This is not an uncommon problem with ATI. The hardware drivers in Windows work with your hardware so ATI has no problems in windows but the drdivers in the linus OS used on the Boot CD do not work well with your hardware so ATI, on the BootCD can't deal with file AATI in widnows told you was just fine -- this problem is too often blamed on supposed bad memory or bad disks.

Here's an alternative if you're willing to put in about an hour's time and mot much effort -- Try searching for Mustang's VistaPE guide on this forum and use it to build a VistaPE (i.e., Vista Boot disk) with ATI on it -- you'll find your memory and disks are fine, you tib is fine and ATI will run on your hardware and much faster than the ATI boot disk (if it worked on your hardware).

If you follow the steps; it's very easy to make the Vista PE disk. I resisted relying on BartPE and reatogo disks for a long time and didn't recommend them to others because of the difficulties building them and getting them to work. But the VistaPE disk is simple if you follow the guide. And Mustang's scripts are worth the couple or so bucks he asks for.

 

Frank,
To save you trying again. TI11 images cannot be read or used in any way by TI10. However TI10 images can be seen and used by TI11.
One way compatibility.

As Xpilot pointed, Acronis True Image 10.0 Home cannot read images created by Acronis True Image 11 Home due to improvement of archive format.
