Drive Backup v.9.00.009.8667 Error 0x80

Hi All,

I am attempting to create an image of my Windows XP boot drive and restore that image on to a new bigger hard drive and then boot off that new drive. I was having the error 0x80 occur while making the image file, so I followed the steps below to attempt to copy it directly to the new drive.

I am attempting to backup my 18GB C: drive to an empty 700GB F: drive.

The C: drive has 1.13GB free. I have checked this drive for errors using the Error-checking tool in Windows. There isn't enough space to defrag the drive. This drive is an ultra160 SCSI hard drive.

The 700GB was initiated and formatted in Windows as a 700GB primary partition. This drive is a SATA drive.

Booting from the Paragon Drive Backup Boot Disk:
I select "Create Image of Hard Disk" with the following options:
HDD RAW
Set Image Name Auto
Do Not Enable Image Splitting
Control Archive Integrity
Do not skip OS Aux Files
Normal Compression level

Apply Changes.

The Progress Information Screen shows:
Backup Partition or Disk.
Approx Achive size will be 13245 MB
Backup Disk 1 to File: blah blah blah
Backup Primary Partition 0 (Disk1) to File: blah blah blah
Getting Clusters Bitmap
Data Writing

(blah blah blah) is a file on the empty 700GB F: drive)

Then an error window with an Error 0x80 occurs.
What is going on? Why is this happening? Am I doing everything correctly?

The C: drive has 1.13GB free. I have checked this drive for errors using the Error-checking tool in Windows. There isn't enough space to defrag the drive. This drive is an ultra160 SCSI hard drive.

Problem 2:
When I try to copy the drive using partition...the system won't boot on the copied drive. The computer complains of a missing NT boot loader file.
What's wrong in this case?

Thanks for your assistance.

 

Eagle3300,

There is a problem with HDD Raw Processing, please turn it off and try it again, if you need raw processing use Partition Raw Processing instead (it has the same functionality). Also, you are backing up disk 1, not disk 0 correct?

As far as problem #2 goes, if it is disk 1 that is your C drive the MBR was probably not copied, (the MBR is located on the drive the BIOS is pointed to boot from, generally disk 0) you can use the recovery CD's boot corrector to rebuild it, which should allow it to boot.

 

Matt,
I'll get to all of your questions at the end. I have retried this thing at least 10 times with no luck. It takes a while for each attempt, thus my delay in responding. My appologies.

Here are all the gory/bloody details:

From cold boot from Paragon Drive Backup Boot Disk:
Bios boot takes 50 seconds to complete.
Paragon Drive Backup takes 2 minutes to start the application menu.
Starting Drive Backup takes 10 minutes to bring up Drive Backup application.

Followed instructions to do a repair install of windows.

Booted off of windows cd – repair option

Restarted system
System still wouldn’t boot.

Notes:
Each attempt at creating an image resulted in an error 0x80.
Each attempt at a direct disk copy resulted in a non-bootable mess. The files appeared to be on the disk but the disk wouldn't boot.

Questions:
Is it normal for the Drive Backup application to take 10 minutes to start from the Drive Backup front screen?

Why is Drive Backup failing with error 0x80 when attempting to make an Image?

Why is Drive Backup failing to correctly make a copy on another disk?

Responses:
In the attempt that you are asking about, yes I was backing up disk 1.
Perhaps I should ask what is HDD Raw Processing? How does that vary from Partition Raw Processing? How does that differ from what I did on these last couple of attempts?

When you perform a disk copy, shouldn't the MBR be included in the clone? The whole intent was to take an image of my 99.9% full C drive and put the image on a bigger hard drive. Swap out the drives, boot from the newly created C drive , and move on to the project at hand.

Otherwise, I have to install the operating system on the new drive, apply the 50 bazillian patches, reload the applications, and find/copy my data. That's two weeks that I don't have.

Thank you for your help.
