    Hey guys, this question is pursuant to another thread I started here earlier today.

    I'm creating a TI boot disk using BartPE with the instructions found in this thread: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=162424&highlight=rescue

    My question is, does TI have some sort of "continue copying even if errors occur" option built in, or will it stall out if it runs over a bad block, file, etc. Thanks for any help offered.

    Ah, MudCrab, thanks. My laziness is exposed for all, the search function was my friend after all :) Thank you for pulling me back into reality. Those threads, and a few others I found, answered my question perfectly. Thank you for the reply!

    Actually, this spawns one more question :) Will I be able to select a bypass errors option or similar activity via BartPE with the Acronis plugin. The thread about BartPE states that ATI has a more limited functionality than the "full version under windows". Will I still be okay?
    Thanks!

    I would think you'd still be okay. I think all the basic functions work with the Acronis TI plugin. If you want or need access to more functions then you'll need to build your BartPE cd using mustang's plugins.

    If TI is showing bad sector read errors, I usually run chkdsk /r on the drive before trying to back it up again. However, if the drive is going bad, I would suggest copying off all important files before doing either as the more you work with a failing drive the more likely it is to develop more bad sectors or perhaps die completely.

    Again, great reply MudCrab, thanks! I'll look at the Mustang plugin (which I hope is linked from his BartPE thread that I've been using). I've copied all important files off of the drive in question and at this point am just trying to re-create the drive on a working disk so that I can file the old, busted drive away. I plan on doing a chkdsk /R on both partitions the moment before I attempt the clone. It will be the last time I hopefully ever have to use the drive (I'll use the clone from here on out).

    Thank you for the great information!

    mustang is no longer supporting his plugins. You can download the ones I have here.
