True Image Home "Sector Errors"

Hi:

I use TI 2009 home on a desktop XP-pro-sp3 system.
My archives are created and stored on external IDE drives that are connected to the computer via Firewire.

Yesterday I suffered an error when I opened TI. It looked at me drives and immediately gave a "Sector Error".
Maybe this will be the image.
"Failed to read from sector 63 of disc 3".

There were 18 of these errors with different sector numbers.
I re-partitioned the drive and the errors remained the same. After much fiddling with the drive, partition on it, error scanning, chkdsk-ing, and etc, the disk was suddenly fine and TI was happy with it.
Why? TI certainly can't scan the drive in a few seconds, there must be a stored error that it read.

What build of TI 2009 are you using?

 

I have 2009 Home ver 9709.

I had this problem in a previous thread that I cannot locate. I was told to download a fix which I did, but the problem persists. I can perform a backup after clicking on Ignore All, but I cannot run a scheduled backup because it pauses at the error message.

Need this to be fixed, or back to Norton Ghost it is.

 

There is a big thread on this, see:

Acronis has posted a fix for some cases at the end. I tend to agree with one of the posters that it might be a case of an overly-generalized use of an error message - ie, not reading sector 63 properly is not really the exact problem.

 

Hello all,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

Just to confirm,

The fix that depends upon the version and the build number of the product is available here
