Failed to read data from a disk that is not selected for backup

Thread needs solution

I keep getting a "Failed to read from sector nn,nnn,nnn on hard disk '5'."

Disk 5 is not even selected for backup (see attachments).

How can I be getting a read error on a disk that I'm not backing up?

The program does check all disks as part of the the beginning of the backup.

Try checking the disk for disk errors.
From a command prompt
CHKDSK X: /R (where x is the drive letter of the disk being checked for errors.)

This check could take several hours and you may want to do overnight.

The disk numbering is also different between True Image and Windows.
