Error: "Number of copied sectors differs from counted"

I've just started using TI and it seems really great, but I'm having trouble making my first drive image. I boot from the recovery CD, and get the following error after the process has "completed":

"Error E00070001: Internal error. Number of copied sectors differs from counted."

I'm trying to make an image of my main drive, so that the next time I format, I won't have to go through all the installing, etc that I usually have to do after a format.

I've looked through your forums, and there are threads about this error, but mostly to do with recovering a drive image, not making one. I've tried just selecting the partition with Windows (etc) on it, and also selecting the whole drive (there are two partitions, one at ~50GB (Windows) and the other at ~139GB)

Please help. I'd love to make this product work, instead of switching to some other software.

Thanks.

 

Short answer is, "I haven't got a clue" but the first thing I would do is run chkdsk X: /r on every partition. Substitute the drive letter for X, a reboot will be necessary to check C.

 

Thanks. I'll try that.

 

OK. Ran chkdsk on both partitions of the drive. Even formatted the second partition, just to be sure. Still no go. Same error every time.

Do I have to switch to Norton Ghost?

I even uninstalled/reinstalled Acronis TI, and made a new recovery CD. Still nothing.

Please. Any help!?!

 

MAcsSNAcs,

Where are you writing your image? Second HD, external HD?

Some tests you could try.

Use TI from Windows. I think you have been using it from the CD.

Write a C: drive image to your D: drive partition.

Do these still fail?

 

Have you tried making an image from within Windows rather than using the boot CD?

What device are you saving your archive on?

 

I'm making the image of either the C: drive (which is a 50GB partition on one HD) or the entire drive (both partitions) and trying to store it on a separate drive altogether. I get the same error either way. I'll try imaging C: and storing it to the other partition on the same HD, but what I'm trying to avoid is if that drive fails, then I can get the image on the drive that's still working.

Also, I originally tried to run TI from Windows,but was told that it couldn't access the drive because it was "currently in use by running applications". That's why I'm going the CD route.

 

What version of TI are you running? I found a reference where a person had the same problem because he was running TI9 and had downloaded the new Windows Desktop Search function for his Windows XP. It apparently is what is included in Vista. However, that shouldn't cause the CD version to get confused.

You aren't getting very far with this problem and perhaps you should raise an official support request with Acronis via the Acronis website.

 

I've got Acronis True Image Home v10.0.4940. So fairly new I think.

Run the diagnostics from the drive manufacturer.

 

I've run disk diagnostics, and haven't gotten any errors. I've tried running from the recovery disk in both safe mode and full mode. Always the same error.

 

Do you have any other backup/recovery software installed such as GoBack?
Any encryption software?
Software provided with the hard drive to allow installing the drive's full capacity on a system whose BIOS wouldn't?
Any software that isn't commonly used that might have altered the drive parameters?

 

I had the same error. After trying to restore several backup images and trying reformatting the partition, I wondered if the partition size might be an issue.

Since the image was made from an 87.95G partition and was going back to a partition that was the same size (the same location), perhaps Acronis wasn't doing the sorts of things to deal with partition size changes that it would do if I was restoring to a new location.

So I adjusted the "restore to" settings to change the destination partion's size by 5 megs (smallest increment possible).

The restore went without a hitch.
