Recovery Failure

Thread needs solution

Trying to load full image from an external hard drive to a brand new internal hard drive (no o/s) using bootable Acronis recoevry disk I created. Get all the way to the end of the process and can see it start to pull data from the external, but as soon as it must try to write to the internal, I get a Recovery Failed message and that's all.

Can anyone help? Do I have to install an os or do something to the new drive (fresh out of the box)

Sounds like ATI gets ready to start the data transfer but balks as soon as it tries to write to the target disk.

You can try this. Boot into windows and go to My Computer, Manage, Disk Management, and initialize the hard disk. Then boot up from the ati bootcd and see if the recover completes.

You can also use TI to initialize/configure the new drive.

When you boot to the TI CD, can you successfully validate the backup?
