It is about ATI 9.0 Home.
Used and running on windows xp sp3.
Two hard disks installed, listed below as shown by Windows Disk Manager
HDD1 PATA, non-SSD, two partitions, one for swap file, another for ATI SZ
HDD2 SATA, non-SSD, several partitions, one of them is system disk

A ATI task exists. It is a scheduled tasks. Occasionally it is invoked manually from ATI's GUI.
The goal of this task is to make image of system partition and to place it on other partition of
the same hdd (both on HDD2).

If to invoke the task manually from GUI ATI reports just at the beginning some errors on HDD1.
This disk has nothing in common with this disk. Why is ATI stopping on errors of that disk?
Will it also stop on them if started by scheduler?

TI appears to examine all the partitions available when it starts. It likely uses this information to be able to display what partitions are available for backup and to gray out the ones that are too small. I have no idea if the behaviour would be different if the task is scheduled.

Have you checked HDD1's partitions with chkdsk /r and I emphasize using the /r switch to see what errors might exist - I would say that's the real issue.

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, these are real issues.
However, the mentioned check and errors are not made
before defining task but while starting a defined task.
So the phase of task definition was completed before.

In such a case I wish ATI do these checks only for partitions involved in the imaging/backup task in some way (target partition, source partition, ATI Secure Zone, any cache).
Because the user has control which partition is fine and which not.

If ATI checks all other partitions and generates warnings on start of image/backup task execution it only irritates the user.
