acronis true image has not found any hard disk drives

I just installed a SATA drive on my PC (Asus K8N-E Deluxe MB, Silicon Image 3114 SATA chip). When I run TI now, it immediately says "acronis true image has not found any hard disk drives", which I find unexpected, since I was running Windows from a parallel ATA hard drive that TI used to find.

So what's up? Partition Magic 8.0 (from the year 2003) sees both my SATA and PATA drives just fine. How come the latest TI 8 (build 903) can't see either?

Help?

Thanks,
Fred

 

Hi, yonkiman

Welcome to Wilders and Acronis Forums.

I have the same MB, just tested the latest build on it, to answer another question for somebody, no problems with it here. [as with all the later builds of Ti8]

Where is this in Windows or from the BootCD [if you made one].

Take Care,
TheQuest

With disk overlay software like Goback will TrueImage find the disk or ignore them because of the MBR pertition ID type?

 

Hello starfish_001,

Thank you for your interest in Acronis Disk Backup Software.

We recommend you to disable or even to uninstall any disk overlay software like Norton Goback prior to using Acronis True Image 8.0, as such kind of a software requires an exclusive access to the hard drive and might block the access to your disk for the applications like Acronis True Image 8.0.

Thank you.

Alexey,

Thanks

But true Image 8 can read partition GoBack Id 44?


My understanding was that I can use them together but if I reinstall a TI them the recent changes in GB would be lost.

 

Hello starfish_001,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

You can read this information on our web-site:

Acronis True Image 8.0 is compatible with Norton GoBack, but for specific Acronis functions, you will need to disable Norton GoBack:

* If you start Acronis True Image 8.0 from the bootable rescue media.
* If you want to restore an image archive.
* If you want to create, resize or delete the Acronis Secure Zone.

Please note that after restoring an image archive, the history of Norton GoBack stored on the target hard drive is automatically lost.

Thank you.
