Acronis B&R Workstation and Samsung S2 External USB Hard Disk
Hi,
We are using Full version of Acronis B&R for Workstation, until now we doesn't have any problem with software, it was making backup on 2 external usb hard drives, 1 toshiba 500GB and 1 iomega 320 gb. Two weeks ago we buy a Samsung S2 500gb External hard drive to replace the iomega hard drive.
The problem is, when I connect the samsung hard drive appear a message "Acronis Managed Machine Service is unavailable". I try to stop the service manually, but the status become stopping. The only way I can recover machine and service is disconnecting samsung USB hard drive.
I already try the software on a clean machine (just windows and acronis), same result.
Following chat support advice I install the last recommended snapapi.exe, restart, but the error start againt when I connect the samsung external hard drive.
I try this using windows XP Professional and Windows Vista Business, 32 bits both. Samsung S2 Hard Drive is properly recognized by system, I can access it, write and delete data.
Exist any solution for this problem? chat support cannot provide any to me.
Can I get a list of validated usb (or firewire) external usb compatible devices with acronis? My hardware provider is asking me for one.
regards,
Juan Ramirez,
PD: Excuse my basic english and if I wrote with gramatical error.

@dev-anon
a sector has always 512 Byte. Cluster size is correct.

4 kb is a most common cluster size for NTFS, so any build of it for sure can handle this cluster site. It's the nonstandard sector size that causes the trouble.
