v2 Creating Image hangs

Thread needs solution

I booted v2 from CD and set up an image to go onto a USB HD.
The process "starts" but never makes any progress.

I've seen the same thing on pre-v2 versions and with different USB HDs.

This is a HUGE problem as I can't get the images I need!

Is there a fix or workaround?

How long have you waited for something to happen? If you have a large disk in the equation and/or a large amount of data to process it does take a fair amount of time before the backup process starts. I have seen posts from others stating upwards of 5 or 6 minutes on a multi terabyte drive for example.

That's certainly long enough. You should run chkdsk on all disk partitions including hidden ones from an admin command prompt without any switches to check for errors. Such errors can cause halts.
