Won't Create Image - Device Busy

Hello Everyone,

I just installed the Trial True Image 8.0 build 826. The first time I attempted to create an image I got Error 1722 RPC Server Unavailable. I searched the forum and found to execute the files Schedhlp.exe & Schedul2.exe. That took care of that problem.

The next time I tried to create an image it got no where. It immediately gave me E00040010 Device is Busy. I could Retry, or Cancel. Retry did no good.

I can not get past clicking the Start button. Nothing will happen.

I am running Windows 98SE
TDK 321040X CD-RW

Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Thank You Kindly,

Wayne

 

Hello waynerr

I am waiting to hear what the workaround is for this also:

I also have 98SE and that crazy error "Device Is Busy" won't even allow this program to begin!

See This Topic

 

wouldn't it be best to keep it together in one thread?

Works for me: Being a Moderator myself, by all means, if a Mod or Admin wants to integrate Topics that's fine.

 

Try scanning the old 98SE for spyware (adaware SE will do fine) and reinstall Trueimage.

Maybe a AV sweep will help a bit as well.

Probably some program is trying to access your disk exclusively.

 

Before trying the image I did Norton Anti-Virus, Spybot, Ad-aware and CW Shredder. Everything updated. Nothing showed wrong.

The lights to the CD-RW drive were not lit, I will try again and hit Contr, ALT, Delete and see if I can find something that might be trying for the drive.

I will still monitor the thread for suggestions, but Thanks

CD-RW... Running DirectCD perhaps?

 

If I understand DirectCD, it allows you to Read and Write to a CD amost like a big Floppy. I do not have that program, but I do have InCD which I believe is the same type of program.

I have not had InCD trouble me in the past, butI will disable it and try another image.

Thanks,

InCD is indeed the same type of program.

After disabling it you'll probably be just fine.

 

Since the Time lines would not mesh very well IMHO....how about you continue posting\following this thread....and we entertain the thought of closing your other thread ?

Hello,

After reading e-mail and forum posts I believe I have a 'work-a-round'. Thank Goodness.

I have created and checked one complete image. When I hit Proceed at the start and I get Device Busy, Retry/Cancel, I unload the CD. If I reload it manually I return to Retry/Cancel. If I unload the CD and click Retry, the CD draws in by the program and the save starts correctly. I needed to do this with all the CDs of the image.

It worked for me.

Thank You for all the replies and suggestions,

waynerr

 

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!
