'Bad Blocks' Error during partition creation process: Acronis True Image 2010

Thread needs solution

Hi, I'm trying to create a new partition on my system drive to hold the acronis backup images and get a 'bad blocks' error after the reboot.

Steps:
go to Tools and Utilities > Manage Acronis Secure Zone
Create new 50gb partition on C drive
The process completes successfully and requires reboot.
The system boots in to a dos screen and tries to create the new partition.

The process stops with this error: operation error: unable to create partition with bad blocks.

I followed the steps in this article (http://kb.acronis.com/content/1600)

I downloaded and ran the Acronis Report software. I've attached the report.
I Ran chkdsk /r. The system rebooted and chkdsk did its thing.

I tried the process again once windows came back up and still get the bad blocks error during partition creation

Your suggestions are appreciated

Chkdsk is actually rather lenient in some ways compared to other disk checkers. Regardless, you can try using gparted, a free partitioning program to see if you gets you a new partiton in the desired place and size. If it has the same prob, thenyou probably have something wrong on the hdisk or your trying to partiton to far to the fringe. If gparted works, then you've probably unconvered a bug in aty.
