Maxtor OneTouch Disk

I use the 9.1 version of True Image Workstation (build 3534 ) on OS Windows XP Sp 2. I need make a backup on my Maxtor One Touch III Turbo external disk (1 Tb) connected by a firewall 1394b (800) interface.
Starting the application while the external maxtor disk are on, True Image crash ( the same one with USB or Firewire connection, see image attached), instead when the maxtor disk is off all work fine.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe you are using a hub to connect the Maxtor? If you are, remove the hub and connect direct to the computer.

 

The maxtor external disk is connected directly to PC 1394b board.

I have already posted the informations to your technical support two days ago, I'm still waiting for the resolution.... however I think that this problem is in common with all users that try to use your product with a Maxtor external disk (series II or III, USB or Firewire 1394a/b), therefore is very useless to ask for system informations, is sufficient to connect a Maxtor disk with a Windows XP Pc and 'voilà' !
Is't incredible that this behaviour hasn't been observed by your technicals...and more incredible that isn't still resolved.

 

Hello cladeca,

Please be aware that this problem was already fixed and the appropriate update for Acronis Drivers will be released in the nearest future.
We will certainly let you know when this update will become available for download.

Same for me, Maxtor One Touch 3 firewire, running on Windows 2000 workstation and Windows 2000 server, all SP and updates installed.
Having lost more than 3 hours trying to install your product, I would find really usefull to get a list of known bugs on your site!
This is the first time I'm using your products and I can't say I'm happy with it.
Thanks for releasing a new driver asap.

 

This thread was back in March. It is now January. Did Acronis ever make an update available? I have just discovered the same problem! Detlef Hardorp

I'm using a Maxtor OneTouch III 300GB USB extrnal drive and it is working fine. I did not need the Maxtor CD software to use it. Windows detected it fine on both a Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP Professional workstation. I actually got a Maxtor DLL error on my Server so I uninstalled their software and didn't install it on the PC at all. Maybe Maxtor software or DLL's are conflicting with Acronis in your case. I also have the newest Acronis True Image 9.1 installed and I'm doing image backups to the Maxtor drives. Get the lastest Acronis updates and see if that does the trick!
