Survival kit creation says estimated time: 3 hours 6 minutes

Thread solved

The Survival kit creation task says estimated time:  3 hours 6 minutes.

It does not advance and just says "resizing partition".

Acronis True Image 2021.  Opened "as administrator".

If this disk you are creating the Survival Kit on is of a large capacity then this would be expected behavior.

thats why im asking for a refund

Jeffrey, it is just as easy to create a Survival Kit manually and avoid these type of issues plus have full control of the process!

Download a copy of the free MiniTool Partition Wizard software and use this to create a new FAT32 partition at the start of your external HDD by moving the existing NTFS partition to the right to create the space needed.

Allocate a Windows drive letter to the FAT32 partition.

Now use the normal Acronis Rescue Media Builder tool to create the 'Simple' version of the media and point it to the new FAT32 partition drive letter.
