I have backup where Acronis found unreadable data on my C-drive, so I said ignore all
my hardware
2 - SSD drives in RAID0 format for my C-drive
backup is ATI2009
problem
1. I performed a full image and during the image ATI2009 informed me that it could not read some data at a specific location on my C-drive, so I told it to ignore all and the backup was successful.
2. My concern is that my restore will not work
3. I read in the forum to swap out the C-drive and test my restore file on another spare drive,
- I do not have 2 more spare SSD drives to I would have to install an IDE drive and make it the Active Partition
I do not understand RAID0 well enough to answer the following questions
- would an image created from RAID0 restore to a single ide drive (i.e. non RAID0)?
- I presume I do not have to go into my bios and undo the RAID0 settings to boot to an non-RAID drive?
I have tried Chkdsk on C-drive and it didn't help. My plan is to flash the SSD drives, but I need to be sure that my backup files will restore fine.
I have several other full image backups but I get error messages on each of these too, so I want to try to fix up my current system by reinstalling Office 2010, Acronis, etc but I need to test of my backup (the one with the unreadable data) will work for me. Then I will do a full backup and get the read data errors again. Then I will flash my SSD drives and use my back up file for restore. I want to feel confident that the backup file will work.
1. I run from microsoft > Manage > disk management - scan and fix file errors and recover bad sectors - so yes I did repair
2. thank you, I guess I can see if the restore will work, which I suspect it will, but I will not be able to see if ignoring the bad data caused a problem.
- I have both a sector-by-sector backup and a normal backup of my C-drive
-sounds like I will just have to bite the bullet and wipe out my only working copy of Win7 to test my restore
3. yes I am using Recovery CD for my restore and I am getting various errors.
- not first in chain
- location of volume # 3 ????
- etc.
both of my backups are full backups of image, but these errors won't let me restore from them and there doesn't seem to be any way of bypassing errors. I would hope that a validate would have an option to force restore
BUG found in ATI2011 Rescue CD
imagine my surprise when I found this
my environment
Win7 home premium 64bit on C and D partition
1. used ATI2011 restore CD to install Acronis onto a Pendrive
1.a used this Pendrive to attempt to create an image of C and D partitions and it warned me that there was unreadable data on my partitions.
1.b I ran Chkdsk /r
1.c. I ran the backup image from my pendrive and sure enough errors were found, I told to Acronis to 'ignore all' -these data errors were the reason for this thread in the 1st place
2. I installed ATI2009 final build onto C partition
2.a I ran backup image from my C-drive to external usb drive, no errors found
2.b I ran the back up image again from my C drive using ATI2009 and did a validate and no errors found
2.c I understand the validate just about guarantees a successful restore, but I have not tried that yet.
A validation is merely an indication that was read was written without write errors. Upon completion of the restore, I strongly suggest that you check the new restore for disk errors.
CHKDSK C: /R
The report generated by the chkdsk operation can be found in the Windows Events log under the Application section. If errors reported in the log, I would suggest that you run the chkdsk a second time.
