Unsupported Hard Drives - Error Msg Why??

OK. This is Barb the new user again. I have found workarounds for my previous two problems.

So, here is the next one.

1. I have created a full image back up & two differential backups against that image on an IOMEGA external drive.

2. I have verified the archive, and plugged it to see that the differential image correctly picked up some test changes. I can copy files from the plugged image to my internal drive.

3. I created a rescue CD.

4. I booted from the rescue CD.

5. Then, I tried starting Recovery running inside Acronis after booting from the CD. What I got was error message: E000101F4: Unsupported hard disk drives. Does not support Wimdows Dynamic Disks, EZ Drives etc. I also got this message when I clicked "verify archive".

I don't think I have any of the unsupported drive types. I think this means that I could not restore from my archive in the event that my internal drive was corrupted. Not such a good place to be.

Is there something I don't understand here? Does anyone know what is causing this problem or how to work around it?

Again. Thank you.

Barb
