Error Message when trying to back up to USB flash drive
I have a 64 Gb USB flash drive which is larger than my 32 Gb SSD.
When I try to create a full clone of my SSD onto my USB flash drive, the Acronis loader starts but then I receive the following message:
"One or more of your removable disks may not have started at the moment. Click "Yes" to wait for full startup of the devices (recommended). Click "No" to ignore unitialiezed devices and continue..." [the third option is to cancel the clone]
Neither clicking "Yes" nor "No" allows me to make the backup.
What am I doing incorrectly? I am attaching the system report log.
Thank you for any help provided.

Not all flash drives can be used as a hard drive substitute. Sometimes this can be changed by using utilities that will mark them as bootable, but others are always data drives.

Thank you for your concern. I am using the Windows Version of TI.

Colin,
Thank you for the information. Do you know of an utility such as you mentioned (making a flash drive bootable). Again, thank you for the help.

I don't have a link to hand, but, HP have a tool and I think Microsoft do as well somewhere in the knowledge base.

Robert,
Is the flash drive a San Disk Cruzer?
If yes, San Disk offers a utilitiy to undo its special configuration and make it into a standard data drive.
When formatting, you will want to make it a NTFS file system on the flash drive.

GroverH,
Thank you for your comment. The USB flash drive is a Verbatim which does used the NTFS file system. If you have any other thoughts, I would love to hear them (and again, thank you).

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your posts and your help.
Robert, could you please attach your usb flash drive and collect this report so that we can take a closer look at the partition structure.
This will help us determine what is causing the issue. Have you tried cloning using the bootable media as a temporary workaround?
Please let know if you have additional questions.
Thank you.

Hello Robert,
Thank you for your response.
I've submitted a case in our internal database, we will take care of the request as soon as possible. Meanwhile, could you please try the workaround suggested by Anton and let us know the results? If Clone fails under Acronis Boot Media, please obtain a log file of failed operation from within Acronis Boot Media and attach to your next post. This will help to localize the issue.
Thank you.
