Read Error using rescue boot diskettes..

I just installed TI 8 and created an image of my hard drive spanning 2 CDs. I want to restore the image to a different hard drive so that I don't have to reinstall everything. I'm running XP SP1.

Okay, I created the rescue bootable diskettes using 3 floppy disks. By the way, is there any way to make the disks that store the image file bootable?

Anyway, without fail, I get a "Read Error" when I try to access the second rescue floppy diskette. Iv'e created the disks 3 times, using different disks, and I get the same error on disk 2 everytime. Any idea why? I need to resolve this issue ASAP.

Thanks.

 

Try cleaning the floppy disk drive.

 

Not without a lot of work that Acronis doesn't support.

I don't understand why you don't want to use the bootable TrueImage recovery CD instead of the floppies. Since you are in a hurry, that would be the quick solution - and TI will boot much faster from the CD than from floppies.

Why the second floppy fails beats me, but it looks like you have tried everything in terms of different disks that might make it work.

 

I'll burn the bootable rescue image to CD, and hopefully that will solve the problem. Thanks for the replys.

 

Hello zippi,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

The problem seems to be with the floppies. If it is possible, please try to create Acronis Bootable Floppies using another computer (with another floppy drive) and let us know the result.

Also please tell whether every time you get an error with the second floppy?

Thank you.
