Recovering a complete IMAGE failed
Hi to all!
I've a question to restoring a complete image:
When I tried to restore a whole image to my partition C:, I got the error message from ACRONIS that it wouldn't be possible because the saved image is stored on an extern disc?!?!
ACRONIS wanted me to copy it first!?
In the manual I couldn't find what exactly ACRONIS wanted me to do?
If the intern disc is damaged, it wouldn't be possible to copy anyway!
My environment: TRUE Image 10 Home, Windows XP Home, IOMEGA extern disc
Cheers Dugena
ps.: excuse for my bad English :-)

Thanks for your answer!
The chkdsk /r stops at 65% and I can't see the reason why?!

Which disk did you try running chkdsk on?
If checkdisk stops running then there is probably a problem with that disk.
However, is your image just one tib file or a number of tib files?
Is the IOMEGA formatted as FAT32 or NTFS?
Do you still have the IOMEGA software installed and or running - this might interfere with TI. If your IOMEGA drive didn't come with software - ignore this question.
Did you try and restore from within Windows or from the Rescue CD?
What build of TI 10 are you using?

The image is at an external IOMEGA USB drive and I've to execute the chkdsk at this drive.

The disk contains only the complete stored image (.tib file) and has the NTFS filesystem.

I've never installed a software on the disk (is this necessary?) nor did I format it!
I've tried to restore the image via the original ACRONIS CD, which is also capable of booting the system. Then I choose the menu point for restoring the complete image and got the error message mentioned above ....
I'm runnig ACRONIS Version 10, build 4.942 on Windows XP Home.
Kind Regards
