Cannot Create Secure Zone

Thread needs solution

I've recently purchased and installed True Image 9.0. 

I've tried to create a Secure Zone via the wizard, but it does not work.  Any ideas?

Do you mean you have True Image Home 2009 version? It can fail if you alreday have 4 primary partitions for example. If not, try to create Bootable Rescue Media CD, boot your PC from that CD and try create Secure Zone.

Hello Jeff,

Thank you for using Acronis Products

There are two possible causes:

  • There are four primary partitions on the disk;
  • The file system is corrupt.

Solution

  1. Acronis True Image cannot create Acronis Secure Zone on a disk with four primary partitions. Convert one of the primary partitions to logical or create Acronis Secure Zone on a different disk.
  2. Try checking the disk for errors:
    • Go to the Command Prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd);
    • Issue the following command:

chkdsk DISK: /r

where DISK is the letter of the partition you need to check.

Checking the C: drive may require you to reboot the machine.
