    Hi

    I installed a trial version of True Image 9.1 yesterday. I was very impressed and was thinking of purchasing the software and allso recommending it to my clients. However, I cannot uninstall the product from the server I have it installed on. Windows Server 2003 Enterprise 64 bit.

    From either Add Remove programs, or the product setup file, I get the following error when trying to uninstall.

    "the installation was interupted before Acronis True Image Enterprise Server could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again."

    This is very annoying.

    Thanks

    Steve

    Hello Steve,

    Probably not the answer you are looking for but the following extract from the Acronis Support sticky thread titled "PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU POST" should get you out of a hole:

    OK Now I'm pissed right off.

    After following the manual removal documentation, my server is showing an lsass.exe error on boot and want's restarted in AD recovery mode.

    Absolutely ridiculous.

    Update.

    It seems that the virtual drive service is not starting, therefore there is no D partition seen by windows. This is absolutely ridiculous.

    From the event log.

    "NTDS (584) NTDSA: An attempt to determine the minimum I/O block size for the volume "d:\" containing "d:\WINDOWS\NTDS\" failed with system error 3 (0x00000003): "The system cannot find the path specified. ". The operation will fail with error -1023 (0xfffffc01)."

    As you can probably see from that error, I cannot even restore from the last system stae backup. As the D Drive no longer exists.

    Managed to restore the server, however, I cannot assign drive letters to my disk partitions from within windows.

    Support, I would appreciate a reply.
