Recovering and insufficient space problem
Hi,
I'm trying to recover my old drive to new one, but "There is insufficient space in the recovery destination." error message occures. Original partition has 300MB and new one has same size. But when i choose unallocated space on new disk than error message is same. New disk is Western digital 500GB.
Could you help me.
Thank you
Hi James,
It didn't help me. New disk has advanced format technology and 4096B sectors. Could not be this a problem? Original disk has 512B sectors.
Hello Radovan Jupa,
Welcome to our forum. I am happy to assist you.
I want first to thank James F for supporting you.
After investigating your issue, I suggest using a WinPE or BartPE bootable media. Find information about creating WinPE media in this part of online help. Using BartPE is described here.
Let me know if you need additional help please.
Thank you.
ATI 2013
W7 - 32
I slightly have the same problem.
I saved my actual C: systemC.tib and installed a new SSD(120GB) as partition C:
I "recoverd" this file to the new SSD partition with now problems.
Windows changed the old partition C: to now K:
Windows is running fine.
In the meantime there had been some changes on my system partition C:
so I made a new tib (full) (13GB) from C:
I now wanted to change/update my old partition which is still on partition K:
(Just as precaution if the new SSD is making problems)
Now ATI tells me "Recovering" not possible: : not enough space .
But there is plenty of space. Needed about 40GB ONLY. So more than enough space!
I realized that recovering is not possible to some more partition as well (F: is locked, as my tib is saved here.)
I tried with the Linux recovery CD ATI 2013 - same problem
I tried with an old recovery CD ATI 2011 - same problem.
So this is no Windows problem.
All partitions are NTFS formatted, all partitions are checked with chkdsk /f/r - no error
partitions alignment from ALL partitions - checked with paragon alignment tool 3.0 - all correct.
all partitions (Hitachi drive)are logical drives, except partition K: = primary = active (my old C:)
Why ATI is not able to "recover" to the same partition from where it was made?
Before I installed the SSD I recovered C: a couple of times with no problem!
Why the other partitions with huge space capacity have the same problem?
Hello Gerhard Jürjens,
Thank you for posting this question in our forum. I am happy to assist you.
The most commen reason for this problem seems to be the partition type of the drive K:. It is flagged as active and primary. You currently can do one of the following things to solve the situation:
- You recover only files and folders out from the partition backup to the drive K:
- You change the flag of the drive K: to logical, using a disk tool like Acronis Disk Director 11 Home;
- You copy out all of the tib files of each partition, format the complete disk and copy the tib files back to the new drive. You have no benefit from holding each tib file in a separate partition.
If you need additional assistance, please create a system report of the affected machine and contact support. You will find all available support options in our Customer handbook.
If there is anything else we can do for you, please let me know.
Thank you.
Thank you for answering,
This makes sense for drive K: but not for the other ones like
drives locked E: H: J:
drive D: is unlocked why this one is unlocked = free?
