Problem reading mounted .TIB file

Hello,

I have trouble reading contents of a backup file i created.

I booted PC from trueimage boot cd(trueimage 6.0)
Created image of the entire harddrive on another PC over network(completed OK)
Verified the image(completed OK)
Started acronis, and mounted the .TIB file as a new drive letter(E, worked fine.

The problem is, windows(XP SP2) behaves as if the new drive(E was unformatted. Clicking on it results in "E: is unaccessible - files or folders are damaged and unreadable" message. Rightclicking and selecting 'properties' of the drive claims the file system type of it is "RAW". But the filesystem stored in the .TIB image(displayed in trueimage while mounting it) says it is NTFS(as it should)

Any idea what the problem here could be? The data inside the image are important to me and i need to extract them somehow.

Thanks for any replies.

 

Are the Versions and Builds of your rescue disk ATI, and Windows ATI the same ?

F.

 

Yes, the versions are the same(TI 6.0). I used this procedure several times before to recover data from non-bootable harddisks(corrupted windows installations that coudnt be started even in safe mode anymore)

But in this particular case, it just wont work. Strange thing is there's absolutely no error message from TI whatsoever, everything finishes normally except the final emulated mounted drive is unreadable...

Normally i would just get the HD out and connect it as a secondary HD to another, working machine but this one happens to be a notebook HD with nonstandard connector, so i'm stuck

Thanks for the reply.

 

The same thing happened to me, but I finally found the resolution. Just go into your Disk Management program. Your drive should appear there - right click the drive and select "Assign access to this drive" (or something like that) and that's it. Your drive should appear in Explorer view.

 

You can also use Partition Magic to extract the files from the hidden partition or drive.
