ERROR WRITING TO FILE message

Thread needs solution

I am having a continuing problem with making a simple image backup of my C and E drives.
I use Windows XP and am backing up to an external hard drive.
The error log file is attached.
I would welcome a solution, please.

Hello Geoff,

Thank you for using Acronis True Image

First of all I would recommend you check the disks for errors in the following way:

 

- Go to the Command Prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)

- Enter the command: "chkdsk DISK: /r" (where DISK is the partition letter you need to check) for every partition that is visible in My Computer. Please note, that checking the C: drive may require you to reboot the machine.

1) Go to Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> System Protection.

2) Uncheck all drives marked for automatic system restore.

3) Click Apply (warning: this deletes all restore points including shadow copies of files).

4) Re-check drives that you want restore points for.

5) Click Apply.

 

If the issue persists switch your external hard drive to "Optimize for performance" mode:

a. Right-click the My Computer icon and then click Manage.

b. Click the Device Manager icon.

c. Click the plus (+) sign next to Disk Drives.

d. Double-click the USB hard drive string.

e. Click the Policies button then click Optimize for performance and mark all checkboxes.
