TI2020 "unable to lock ......"
Have three DVD-s for booting TI:
1. MVP generated with added driver for ocz revodrive, generated from MVP-site a year ago.
2. Acronis 2020 TI freshly generated from the windows-installed Acronis 2020, added driver for ocz revodrive.
3. Acronis 2020 TI without driver for the Revo, burned from Acronis site a year ago..
Booting and runing no. 3, no problem at all with hdd source to hdd target.
This TI presents a menu at start for selection of TI 32 og TI 64 bit, as well as other options.
One should select choice via F10 and arrows. Selecting always TI 64 bit.
Booting and running no. 2, it goes directly into menu for "Create new disk", "clone", etc.
Seelctiing and exectuting "add new disk" for target hdd, then selecting source.
Very often: Unable to lock ....". Trying again and again, and often it will continue ok..
Booting and running no 1., selecting hdd for source and the revodrive for target.
Else same procedure as under no 2. Also same result, "unable to lock..."
question:
Is the revodrive-driver to blame for the "unable to lock" ?
And why the different startup behaviour no 3 vs the other two ?
Any work arounds ?

Thanks for most interesting info re "unable to lock....".
Tried to disable hibernation, found info in the link you stated,
used download of "disable_hibernation.reg", executed ok.
Shutdown, restart, booted the acronis dvd, hoped, but no, still "uable to lock".
So I guess wre are stuck with this problem (or maybe not ??)

erik,
Another issue that arises causing the unable to lock the disk error is that of Windows update. There are times when Windows update does not successfully install a pending update completely. This can cause an unstable state for the PC thus the unable to lock message.
One way of addressing that issue is to boot the PC into Safe Mode then at the sign in screen click on the poser button on the lower right screen and select Restart. If you get a warning that other users may lose data select restart anyway.
Once you have done this boot to the recovery media and try again.
Below is a link which covers how to boot into Safe Mode:

SOLVED (maybe ?).
Booted TI 2020 rescue media (DVD).
Always selecting "add new disk" for the target before proceeding with clone.
Then selecting "clone"
Stepping through the selections, stopping at selection for "manual" and "automatic".
If fast proceed with further selections, the "unable to lock" often pops up.
BUT: if waiting for a long time (tried 1-2 min. maybe could be less) before "next" with manual
selection, it seems the "unlock" will NOT pop up !!!
Could it be some timing problem here in TI ?

Timing could very well play a part in this issue Erik..!
