Didn't I start this thread? And now the subject has morphed into something else.
WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO A TEST RESTORE? What happens if the restore fails? You lose all your data as the drive is formatted and the partitions...
Why should I send you anything? Why not fix the problem and release it to the public? Your support is horrible, and judging by the comments made...
Have you tried Norton Ghost? I believe you can download a trial version to try it out. It doesn't have as many features as TI but it has never...
I tried a reset and a power down, but TI will only successfully restore from the external firewire drive if I boot from the EIDE DVD drive. It...
UPDATE: I'm not sure why this worked but it did. I have two DVD drives in my PC. One is a serial drive the other is an older EIDE drive. I...
Still no response from support I see. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
You shouldn't have to use a third-party software to get TI to work. The product claims to backup and restore your system. Period. What drivers...
I think this thread is getting off topic. The issue is why is TI not restoring from the external firewire hard drive NOT validation. Validation...
Have you actually tried Norton Ghost??? I've never had an issue with it but I chose to go with TI recently because it has a couple of features...
Wow. Another reason to NOT use Acronis TI. You would think that a 2009 backup program would be able to see/use an external firewire drive...
UPDATE: After moving the backups to my external USB drive, True Image successfully restored it. Why doesn't it restore from firewire drives?...
I'm just glad that I didn't NEED to restore or I would have been in trouble. Looks like I'm off to try Norton Ghost 14.0 and see if I can get my...
Yes, I did validate before restore and there are no issues on my PC.
I am running True Image Home 2009. I run regular nightly backups to a Seagate 800 gig external firewire drive and validate them and then have...
Well, I downloaded another Western Digital utility--Data Lifeguard. I reformatted the drive in Windows XP as NTFS and it showed up as NTFS in...
I reformatted the problematic drive earlier, and recreated the partition table (NTFS). The error still occurred. I'll see about getting a hold...
I narrowed it down to the 160G drive. With it disconnected, OSS boots up fine. Will Live Linux help me fix the problem with the drive? I'm...
Yes I did. Disconnecting the two IDE drives and leaving the DVD-RWs and SATAs connected causes no errors.
I have posted this in another thread but I wanted to clarify the issue. I have the following set up in my system: WinXP (SATA 1) Vista...
Yeah, I made adjustments once I was able to get OSS to see Vista. What about using a tool such as EasyBCD to recreate the bootloader in Vista?...
Yes, it is booting on its own from the drive. I unplugged all drives to make sure. Here is the updated file. I'm not sure how to set the disk...
I have another PC that I need to dual-boot XP and Vista. Could you please manually add Vista to this file as well? Also, could please explain...
Yes. It is one drive, but I have done chkdsk /r and it completed successfully. Actually, I did it on all 4 drives. Sometimes, DD reports...
I meant /r. I did that. I meant to correct my statement. It's having an issue with the IDE drives NOT the SATA drives. After disconnecting the...
