TrueImage CW build 1124 bugs

I recently installed the Acronis TrueImage 8.0 build 1124 Corporate Workstation (I use Windows XP Pro SP2 & I have partitioned my hard disk in 3: 1 for Win & apps, 1 for swaps, 1 for my documents - and ofcourse the backup image of C. Everything seems to work normal for my system (I basically use it for creating & restoring the image only), except for 2 things:

- When I try to create a new image of my first partition (win + apps installed), I have to do it 2 times! The first time it seems to stuck somehow for a long time. Then I have to press cancel & start the "create image" process again. At the second attempt it always works perfect!!! I have to note that this problem doesn't appear at the "image restoring" process (then it works fine from the first attempt).

- When I use the Rescue CD disk (1124 build created), everything works normal, except a line in command mode (with the acronis logo on the top left of the screen, waiting for the XP-like graphic environment to load), says "hde error...". Apart from that, all the Recovery CD version tasks of Acronis TrueImage run smooth & normal. From what I know from my Linux-experience, there is no hde in my system!!! I only have 1 HDD, connected in a parallel 133 extension card (Silicon Image Sil0680A Raid), which is perfectly recognized by TrueImage!!! What the hell this text\command line means?

Mainly, it bothered me a lot, because I had the previous v8.0 build installed & I had absolutely NO problem!!!
Why did I have to download a 60+MB file from a PSTN line, just and only to upgrade my version build number & cause to my system some annoying bugs?

Apart from the above complains, I have to say that I prefer your product a thousand times than Symantec's Ghost. It required "weird" elements (.NET 1.1 pre-installed, exact copy of the "recovery CD" because it is also the install CD and many more problems...). The main reason ofcourse is that Ghost never recognized my parallel-card connected HDD by its own (I had to use a floppy disk with the drivers each time!!!). The stability, security and compatibility of your product led me to use it instead of Ghost.
