Taking along time to copy the MBR in Operation 4 or 4

Thread needs solution

I have been using Acronis TI for along time but today I was cloning my disks for backups and it did the entire 1TB and then
went to Operation 4 of 4 and the Total Progress said 99% but the Current Operational Progress never moved from 0%.

This also occurred on my 300 Gig Velocerator drives as well. It will eventually finish, but on my other machine it goes alot quicker. Also, These machines as sister machines as well. While it is in this step, the disk activity seems to be going on...

Just was wondering if anyone had an idea....

Thanks,

Cloning not really supported properly by Acronis. They want you to "BACKUP!"

No Comment.

Acronis Customer,
The preferred method for cloning is to perform the clone when booted from the TI Rescue/Recovery CD. Is this the method you used?

Which version of TrueImage used?

I have booted from the CD with TIH2011 and Plus Pack.
This was working fine with 2010, but only after much conversation with paid tech support and then BAM, things cHanged! How I don't know, but they did.
I have installed the latest updates from my Acronis check-in page. How can I check to see what version I have? Usually going to "HELP" and investigating, a program gives me the version #. I have all the latest updates, and now I am wondering about that, on a downlaod partition, and can check the numbers there.
TIH 6696 size 167,092,888 bytes
PP 6696 size 82946,120
pp iso size 120974,426
My latest attempt was a minor disaster. I used my Disk Director 11 to delete the Operating system on a destination disk so I could try the TIH2011 from the program itself.
It went fine and rebooted and wiped the destination clean and did all partions to 99%. But then the operating system changed to copying the MBR......and was not indicating any progress!! Below is a rough idea of I am talking about. Not a good setup by Acronis or am I doing something wrong???!!!
I had no way to shut down in a normal manner! Disaster. I shut down destination
hard drive and rebooted. XP not stable after booting. Had to work F8 and chkdisk to regain control but only after trying DIR11 recovery with no help at all!
HELP!
