ATI Recovery Disk Does Not See External Hard drive
I have ATI 2010 Build 7046 and when I boot from the recovery disk it will not see my back ups on my external hard drive. I went to my accounts page and down loaded the the bootable ISO image and put it on a CD and booted from it and still have the same problem. If I open the program up when the computer is running it reads my external hard drive OK and shows all my back ups. I know you can make a Bart PE but I shouldn't have to, the bootable Rescue CD should work and if it doesn't then something is wrong with it. I had to reformat because it wouldn't work and I know it was my fault because I should of checked it after I burned it to a CD. Live and Learn by your mistakes. Never take anything for granted. I'm using Windows 7Pro 64 bit.
It's my understanding after doing some research on Google that you can't make a BartPe for Windows 7 64 bit.
No but I'll sure check that out.
If your talking about the Help section, I didn't see anything in there.
The info is in section 4.3 on p. 31 (I didn't look it up earlier - sorry).
I got the User's Guide and sent the required information. See how long it takes to get a response. Thank You for your help and Have a Great day.
I got a response back this morning. Burned the ISO image and tried it. My external hard drive is drive F but under the Rescue disk it shows up as Drive J. I'm a little nervous about trying a restore under those conditions cause if it doesn't work I've got to reformat. I carried it thru all the way up to hitting proceed. I guess when push comes to shove I'll try it cause at that point I'll have nothing to loose. Do I need one of these images for each new build? Wonder why the drive letter changed from F to J.
Richard-
Don't worry about the drive letters shown under the Linux environment - they generally are different than under Windows due to different conventions followed in assigning the letters. "Drive letters" are an operating system artifact, but most people are fondly attached to them. There shouldn't be any problem at all.
It is recommended that you label your disks with meaningful names so you don't have to rely on the drive letters, i.e. System Disk C:, Data Disk D: External Disk F: or similar.
The 2010 rescue disk always shows my external as Disk 1, but as I have given meaningful names to all my disks I can pick the correct one for backing up or restoring.
