2011 Nonstop backup destination disk

Thread needs solution

I am trying to setup nonstop backup. I have 2 internal NTFS hard disks. Both are visible and selectable as target locations but only one of the disks appears as a destination. There is plenty of space on both.

When you look at the Windows disk management console, is any disk other than basic, mbr disk? does one contain an active or a hidden system partition?

the second hard drive that is not visible says system, active, primary partition

What type of Non stop backup are you trying to set up? Partition type of file type?

For example, you cannot non-stop backup a disk to itself.

File type. I am trying to backup some files from one internal disk to a different physical hard disk.

I guess ATI doesn't want to use the system partition to store the NSB information, but I was not aware there was this kind of restriction. I know that ATI cannot store NSB data on a partition that is not NTFS. Maybe there is some information on the disk that ATI sees and doesn't like...

My backup drive has an installation of Vista that I used to dual boot into. I wonder if that is the issue??

For info, I sorted the issue. The bootmgr was stored on the internal backup disk I was trying to use even though my system disk was the other one. Must have been a hangover from installing a dual boot vista system. I moved the bootmgr and everything works now.
