Error on backup - no hard drives found

I have used the True Image 9.0 for about 3 months with no problem. Have done complete and incremental backups. Recently when I was ready to do a back up to my external hard drive, I get a message saying"E000101F4 True Image has not found any hard disk drives." How ever when I looked at backing up just files and folder, True Image sees all my internal partitions and external drives. Any ideas?

 

Are you doing this from within Windows or with the Rescue CD? Whichever one it is, try the other. And what build of ver 9 are you using? It would help others to know in order to provide suggestions.

 

I'm having exactly the same problem within Windows.
TI 9,0 337

 

I just developed the same problem and am using T.I. 2,377. The only thing I did since my last backup was chandge the computer ID number. The shop that built it for me just cloned their master drive which uses XP Pro and had some programs already installed. The product ID number was their generic one and I did not have a system disk like I always had. I insisted on one and they sold one to me. It was cheap enough, the owner is a friend of mine.

Once I went through the process of changing the numbers,which included the product number and computer ID number I could download from Microsofts web site which I could not do before. It would not validate my system.

The number that shows up when you right click My Computer is a short number and the second 3 numbers are OEM now. I had to re-register my new Product ID number but that was a mechanical person and it took all of 5 minutes. The computer now runs perfect and I can download from Microsoft.

The only thing that chaged was I can no longer make a clone drive from the windows shortcut. I had to make the disk I saw in another thread. I did get rid of a program that was causing me more problems than it was supposed to be curing. That was System Mechanic 6. What a disaster that program is. It deletes DLL files for programs that you deleted but does not checkto see if other programs depend on that same DLL file, which happens in sme cases. Fortunatly the company agreed to refund my money.

I would still like to figure out why I can no longer use the shortcut. I even deleted the program, cleaned out the registry and did a re-install with the same result. All this after I changed the ID number. Any ideas out there?

 

Acronis sent me a fix for this problem in an email. It seems something I installed or did corrupted the driver. This site will remove the old driver and install the new one. It takes seconds to do and it worked flawlessly. Anyone who wants this for the "no hard drives found" problem, contact me and I will forward the email to you.

Question: Does the boot media need to be remade after updating the drivers with the above file?

 

Hello olegeiser,

Thank you for choosing Acronis Disk Backup Software.

We recommend you to recreate the bootable rescue media when the new update for Acronis True Image is available.

If you update Acronis drivers mentioned above, you do not need to recreate the bootable rescue media.

Thank you.
