Yesterday i got for the third time the famos GMAL-04 error. Tried everything but could not solve it. So i installed again a new Windows 10 64 bit. But i did have also some .arx backups. So i installed first defence en did import some .arx files. Two of them work but others not . I coukld import them but booting to it gives a IAT-02 eror. How i solve this .? Frits Egelie
Are you using First Defense or the latest version of IR. I don't believe First Defense will work on win 10
I use ISR version 3.32.235. I do work with it in Windows 7 and Windows 10. _____________________________________ i do have lots of times time issues with Windows 10. Very difficult procedure to run W10 in save mode. When i start up normally and after giving my password it takes sometimes hours for W10 doing something. Normally it is one or two seconds to jump in. _________________________________________- for two days ago i got again the famous GMAL error 04, for the third time. So, alt last i formatted ( SSD 512GB) all. Installed W10 again and ISR and imported W7 and W10 .arx files Two importend W10 .arx files looks corrupt then booting to it gives the IAT-02 error. What to do? Is there a solution for it. ? Two W10 files do work. One imported and the primary W10 file just maked. Frits
Hi Egelie I can only tell you two things. One, is I won't be using win 10 for a while, I consider it still beta software. Two Raxco doesn't support that version for either win 7 or win 10. I got it to work with Win 7 but not win 10. Your best bet would be to upgrade to the latest IR version. Pete
Pete, how many snapshots can i make with IR? Can i export and also import a snapshot ? Does it work with W7 and 8.1 and 10. ( mixed) Has it a FREEZE mode. ( does not work 100% good in ISR) other options i don't use them. Frits
Pete, i am reading lots of about IR. But there is IR= Instant recovery and IR=Instant rescue. So wich prgr works better.? And can i use it with isr.? I mean can i convert now the working snapshots of ISR ? Frits
You want IR Instant Recovery, and yes you can use it with your snapshots and Archives. Basically it now installs fine in Win 7 - win 10, is more secure, and Raxco supports the latest IR with Win 10
Peter, i have downloaded yet IR. Also readed soem parts of the manual. It is likely ISR. There is lots of information to read. To much. I ask you, will i first delete the old ISR completely in each snapshot or could i run IR with the ISR in tact.? It looks to me that Raxco has rewritten the old ISR. Frits
Export your current known working snapshots as an archive to back them up. Uninstall First Defense using First Defense uninstall. Select uninstall just the program and your snapshots will be available in Instant Recovery. Install Instant Recovery and reboot. Select a snapshot from the start screen after pressing F3 when you see Instant Recovery after rebooting. Select a snapshot to test it. If it starts up without giving you an error the snapshot will work like it did in First Defense. Pete said you can use the snapshots in Instant Recovery. Go and uninstall program only from First Defense uninstaller.
Image your system first and then try the above. Should work, but if not restore the system, and do a complete uninstall and reinstall. Let us know if we can help
Pete, i have installed the IR in the primary windows 10., after de-installing ISR. It works nice, nicer then i believed first. Then i imported the two .arx files wich gives the IAt-02 error in ISR. All two work nicely. So i have ordered for a upgrade ( 10 snapshots IR). After this i installed on each snapshot the IR. The nthe only possibility was to jump via the F1 screen. So i had to install it in each snapshot. That means i have to validate each IR. I think IR works the same as ISR, without the GMAL-04 and IAT-02 errors Frits
Hi Frits Sounds like you have it. Yep IR works the same as FDISR. Just updated to the new OS's and also improved security between snapshot. Still a great piece of software and so flexible. Pete
Also nice for my labtop. But that computer has 128 GB SSD and GPT disks and UEFI boot. For GPT it will work. Perhap is 128 GB SSD to small to have two snapshots.
So glad i was so, unpleasent i am now. Then i jumped to a GAME snapshot. I did uninstall ISR and tried to install IR. It goes wrong. The installing is reversed. ( couple of times tried) It gives error 1722 or it could also be 3722. So booting gives nothing. Empty screen. So i installed ISR again. Same result. It looks, i had to format the C drive ( omnly the MFT) and install W10 again and IR. Or do you have a solution to jump into the right snapshot ? Frits
within a hour ( 58 min) the SSD formatted and installed a new W10. Then imported the importend .arx file. So i can go on. Frits
Hi Frits Hopefully you have images to restore. Do you have archives of all the snapshots. But if those archives have the old ISR, I am not sure what will happen. First make sure you have images. Then you can always restore back to a starting point.
Now i met a new problem. I did import the last game snapshot ( i have two) Deleted the Fistdefence ISR prgr and TRIED to install the IR. It went perfect till the last sentence. I got a message there where errors. It reverted ithe installation. So i thougt to boot, but there is nothing there. How can i boot in one of my snapshots ? Or must i again start all over, by installing a new windows 10. ? I did have made new .arx files from all the other snapshots. Frits
Hi Frits I am not sure with Win 10. I am about to try something similiar on Win 7. You might need to contract Raxco support on that one. They are great. Pete
Peter, i did instantly format the SSD drive. ( the mft table) Installed a new W10 ( no product key needed) and the IR. So it was quickly repaired, Now, i go thrown away the snapshot of W7 in game mode, that troubles me. Frits p.s. it is only pitty for the SSD drive.
