    Trying to create a new image of a new HP 6910p laptop. When i boot into acronis image creator it says it can’t see any hard drives. Its a SATA drive in the laptop.

    Is there drivers i need to update acronis so it sees SATA drives?

    Are you booting from the TrueImage Recovery CD?

    What version of TrueImage and what build are you using? Help / About shows the version and build number.

    The latest version and build is version 10, build 4942.

    Earlier versions are less likely to support the hardware, especially SATA drives, on new computers.

    I have the same problem and I am using the 4942 build. It's actually impossible to check Help/About because the error comes up and all you can to is acknowledge it and the application closes. I have the same problem with Disk Director Suite as well, which I regretfully purchased today.

    It does not matter whether I run it from the recovery CD or from Windows XP 64 main Start menu.

    Have you tried the quiet acpi=off noapic work around described in the second sticky at the top of this forum?

    I just tried the acpi command line and then I was able to use Disk Director from the recovery CD. However, it did not change anything as far as running from the copy installed in XP. Does that offer any clues as to why it does not work from my hard drive?

    Have you uninstalled TrueImage, downloaded a new copy of the latest build and installed it.

    Sometimes things get weird, and an uninstall/reinstall fixes the problem.

    I appreciate your attempt to help. Being a software engineer veteran, I have done ALL the reasonable things one would expect to try to get this to work, including uninstalling/reinstalling both True Image and Disk Director (which has the same problem). I have just built this machine so there is essentially nothing installed except the two OS drives (C=Vista 64, D=WinXP 64) and the associated drivers, plus the two Acronis packages.

    I had submitted several support requests to Acronis and have yet to get a single response. Considering the great reputation that True Image has, I am totally disgusted with my experience with both products.

    Thanks again for trying to help.

    I was seeing error "Not any Hard Drives Detected" after upgrading from Win 2000 server to Win 2003 Server. The driver updates corrected the problem.
