Error E00070021?

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, if I make this post in wrong forum please move it to the approciated room.

I'm using True Image 9, and it worked perfectly. But recently, it can not make the image for my hard disk, it says:
"Error E00070021: Cannot access drive
Cannot create image of.... because it is currently in use by running applications or the logical drive contains bad sectors"

And I know for sure that my drive doesn't have any bad sectors (checked).

I've checked this forum and there's no post related this error. Please anyone show my how to fix it. Your helps are greatly appreciated.

When you checked the drive, did you use checkdsk /r ?

Hi Bodgy,
Thank you so much for fast reply. Yes, I did use that command and it returned no error.
Therefore, True Image worked perfectly but recently (about one week ago), I can't make it works anymore. I think we can do a backup by booting from the rescue disc, but it made True Image useless! I like it because we can working and do backup at the same time.

 

Oh my God, I just did another chkdsk.exe and got this error:

"Chkdsk cannot run because the drive is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? Y/N"

I just installed the new Windows Search (from Microsoft) a few days ago... I don't know if this is the reason?

 

Just say YES and reboot

Hi Xpilot,
Thank you so much. I did say YES and rebooted. The CHKDSK tool did the job well and return no error. But the problem still persist!
Actually, I just fixed the problem! It's because of Windows New Search Engine. I restored my system to an earlier state before I installed that search tool and now, everything works just fine.
I would like to say Thanks! to everyone who helped me to solve the problem! Thanks you guys! Have a great day!

Hello Saigonian, Thanks for letting us know that all is now well after eliminating the Windows new search engine. Is that the one known as Desktop Search or is it a different animal?
Normally when True Image is run any other background processes are suspended while TI takes it's snapshot for imaging purposes and then the other applications can safely be resumed.
It is important that TI developers pick up on this if it is something that they should fix.

Thanks again

Hi Xpilot,
Yes, it is called Windows Desktop Search, which is included in Windows Vista (I think so) and I downloaded it from Microsoft's website (I'm using WindowsXP). They says it will give you an instant result when you want to search for any file.
After thinking it could be the problem, I checked the task and see there were 3 strange processes named: SearchIndex.exe and two others which I forgot its name. I terminated those 3 and run TI again, still no luck. Unfortunately, there is no way to uninstall the new search engine (I use Smarty Uninstaller 1.6) because it's not appear in the list. Luckily, I had a backup of my computer before I installed Desktop Search. I restored it and the problem has gone! I'm so happy now!

With this case, I hope that TI developers will have some solutions to prevent it happens, because if you have to boot from CD to make a backup, we/users may end up uninstalling TI and find some other softwares instead. Because we all love it when we have it backing up our computer while we're using our computer, don't we?
Windows Vista is coming, I hope this problem will be solved soon!

P.s: Again, pardon my English.

Whether or not you can uninstal Desktop search, I think you can diasble most of its functions, whihc might release the disk for ATI and other
operations.


It is a pernicous littel program, though.
