    I have a Windows XP SP2 installation with two hard drives. The first is an IDE and the second is a SATA.

    Windows can see BOTH hard drives just fine.

    When I go into T10, click on Manage Disks, then click on Clone (I want to clone my IDE to my SATA), I get a dialog box and click Next.

    After I do that another dialog comes up that says "Unable to continue. You have only one drive. This program is designed to work with two or more drives."

    If I then try clicking on Add New Disk, it analyses my new SATA drive for a few seconds then gives me the same error message.

    Note that I can copy, delete, modify, etc. files on the new SATA drive JUST FINE in Windows File Explorer, so the drive is working.

    It is just T10 that won't work with it.

    Is there anything I can do to get this to work?

    Thanks.

    Quick update:

    I just tried to use the Secure Zone Wizard. For some reason, it can see my new SATA drive JUST FINE!

    It's just the clone/add new portion of T10 that has trouble with it.

    BTW, I've tried rebooting and that didn't help.

    Hold on...upon further review, it is the SATA that it sees and not the old IDE. The Secure Zone Wizard was only reporting that it saw the SATA drive.

    Note that both the old IDE and the new SATA can be seen/used in Windows Explorer JUST FINE!

    FWIW, I just uninstalled, and reinstalled TI10...no change. Still sees my SATA drive but not my old IDE.

    So there is nothing that can be done?

    Note that Norton Ghost (downloaded it in trial mode) can see both drives, but I'd rather not have to buy it too!

    Should I try uninstalling TI10 and installing a downloaded version of TI9 maybe?

    If you boot from the TI Recovery CD, what drives does it see?
