Problem with Image File

Hello All,
today I removed the new hard drive from my external drive and installed it as slave in my computer.( not getting much success with it externally ref. mine and others posts). Thought I'd wait to see if the issues re. external drives improve, although I did put back in an old 20gig Maxtor in the external enclosure. but thought the new 80 GB disk with 3 partitions would be nice to have in my computer.
Yesterday I did update Acrobat Reader to 7.0.(red herring I expect)
Now, when I create an image of my C drive in the same partition (C) instead of the image showing as it has done which can be explored.It now shows up as a file which when I click on it asks me which programme i want to open it.
I have not knowingly made any changes to C drive so I am at a loss as to what has happened.
Thanks for any help you may come up with.
Regards Mal76

 

Hi All,
I find that I can explore the file by opening it with True Image , when asked which programme I wish to open it with.
However the box to tick "always remember" is greyed out.
Thanks,

Hello again All,
I think its ok now, sorry about that, I think that in creating image, that in the image wizard "File Types" was not set to image archives
at the time I created the image.
Hope I'm right about that.
I have just tried and image was ok.
Thanks Anyway
Regards Mal76

 

Hello Mal76,

We do apologize for your inconvenience.

Usually when you create an image you don't need to indicate the extension (.tib). However you need to indicate it if you have somehow chosen "All file types" instead of "Image Archives". You may rename the image file adding the .tib extension so that Acronis True Image would handle this file automatically.

Thank you.

hello Ilya,
thanks for your response to my self imposed problem.
I don't know how I managed to change File Type, but I do understand about that now.
Thanks again
