Sounds to me like you will have to do some advanced configuration file editing yo correct this problem. Acronis DD will probably show you the same...
Rich, If you can not fix you what you have and you try it again from a clean Vista install. Here are some things to watch out for which I...
Robert, See Magic vs Confidence below on May24. A week ago I could not get DD\OSS to do anything but destroy any and all data on my hard...
Did you wait longer than usual? I was faked out by that a couple times, sometimes (not always) OSS is busy doing things and there is like a 10-15...
MudCrab, I was wondering if you have ever used the old XTREE or the current ZtreeWin, I use them for every file operation, great to view and edit...
oh yeah... The 2ed hard drive has always been 2 logicals, almost possitive I never had an os on them. Does each drive have a MBR? If the only...
Hey MudCrab, I started with a clean win98 resized and installed win311 on the 1st 1G got OSS to see them both resized the end of win98 for a...
This is kinda wierd... I got the CD drive working (haven't done anything with Unknown os yet). I went into win311 os and got the DVD and CD...
When I added a second hard drive and OSS booted up it added 2 Unknown os to the list, one for each logical partition. DD shows the 2ed drive...
That is a different error than the one I was getting. Maybe try downloading another copy of 2160 and installing it. Also, I would email Acronis...
from your last post I'm not sure you tried... Did you try starting with the cd tray open? Did you use >start >programs >Acronis >bootable...
Yes, it finally sank in how to do this and when I was relying to much on OSS. Basicly, OSS is used to recognize an OS once properly using DD and...
MudCrab, we are both posting at the same time again... I wrote the above before reading your latest post to "Win98 trashed again", real quick,...
I did it! Thanks so much to all you guys (gals too?), especially MudCrab. It is wonderful that you guys not only know what you are doing, but that...
Chuck, I just had some success! Believe it or not I had to do this to make a bootable recovery CD. First uninstall DD and OSS (just to be...
Ztree is also great for seeing and changing attributes. The new version 160 has full Vista support. I do not believe anything I see in a Windows...
thanks a million MudCrab, I would have no chance without your patience and understanding.... I understand all of your last email up to here:...
I have the same problem, I tried both my CD and DVD burners but get an error that they are already busy. The write to A: floppies (1.4M) does...
I can not offer any specific help, but I have read of many problems once OSS comes through with it's auto opSys detection. If you are knowlegable...
Thanks again for your continued support. I had not been reactivating OSS, so will be sure to in the future. I tried for a little while to continue...
Acronis's solgan "compute with confidence" is such a joke. How do I feel when I am about to >Commit DD to do common operations? Whatever the...
Thanks for the links Mark. I am busy getting (back) up to speed on the basics and have reviewed some of the chapters in my copy of Scott...
I am begining to believe DD and OSS are largely farce (and intentionally left buggy) to promote the sale of more copies of TI. Well, maybe not...
Thanks KOlo, I will try that. (still working on this!)
Never mind.... I just figgured it out. You must hide the partition from the OSS menu >Properties >Partitions then reboot (tho you are not...
