Recover Operation Failed - Internal error: number of backed up sectors differs from counted
Hi All,
I ran into this problem and wanted to post the fix for other people.
During a recover operation using TIH 2012 the operation failed with the following error message:
Internal error: number of backed up sectors differs from counted
there were also other errors but the crux of the matter was that the Recover operation was in fact succeeding with all data being copied successfully but the final stage of writing the MBR and partition table was failing for some reason.
To solve, I downloaded
http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
and ran through the process of uncovering the hidden partitions Acronis had deleted and writing the new partition table.
I then ran Windows 7 startup recovery which fixed the MBR and voila I had the recovered windows back up and running.
I presume this will work for any case where Acronis appears to fail after recovery and results in an "unallocated partition"
Thanks
