corrupted image

Thread needs solution

I had created an image of my HD using Acronis True Image Home 11, the installed Acronis True Images 2013. No I am not able to access the image file. It is stored on a FAT32 volume, so there are 9 different files. The error message choosing file one to 4 is "not las volume", for the rest it is "not a valid" archive. The file size of all 9 files seems to be in the expected ranges.

Is there any way, using a skript library or other tools like a HEX edito, to get a list of intact files within the archive and to extract them. I am not interested in all files, the directory structure etc. just in a couple of important documents. Similar is possible with other archive-types, really not with acronis.

I tried all measures suggested in the forum: copying to internal HD, mount, restore as single files. Furthermore, i can exclude any HD failure.

Thank you

"Corrupted" is, unfortunately, a rather non-specific error message, in spite of it's rather specific sounding term. It really just means that ATI can't validate the archive, which can be caused by disk errors or connection errors, rather than any problems with the .tib file itself.

Run chkdsk /r on that drive. Also run a drive checking utility from the drive manufacturer, as those sometimes catch errors missed by chkdsk.

Don't connect via a hub, a port in a monitor, a USB extension cord, etc. Connect the external drive directly to a USB port on the rear of the computer case. See if that works better.

And no, you wouldn't be able to extract anything from just some parts of the image. When an image is split into multiple parts, all parts are required.

Once all this is resolved, it would be a good idea to reformat that drive to NTFS, unless there's a good reason to keep it FAT32.

If you have the True Image Home v11 bootable Rescue Disk, you could boot to it and then try and validate the file set. If the validation fails, you could try the same procedure with 2013 bootable media, but I would expect the same results from both v11 and v2013 bootable media. If the backup set validates correctly in either version of the bootable media, try and restore the files you need. If the backup set will not vaildate, you likely will not be able to restore anything from them.
