TI Home 2009 Can't Mount Image in Win 7

Thread needs solution

I guess the title says it all.

When I try to mount a backup image, initially, I see the drive letter appear in Explorer, and I get the pop-up about what application to open, for the new drive, but then it fails.

I know I can "explore" the drive, but I'd also like to be able to mount it as a drive letter.

Suggestions.

Cheers.

There will be no way that you'll succeed in mounting an image file with 2009 in W7. As you've already discovered everything else works. W7 requires partitions to be mounted slightly differently to XP and Vista.

2010 obviously can, and some people did get TI 10 to mount, but that was in the RC version and not the release.

Image mounting works fine here in ATI 2009 (build 9809) within Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. See attached with drive letters G and I for the image partitions. I can open a command prompt and access each of the image partitions as well as use Windows Explorer to see the files. I can copy/paste files from the mounted drives. I can open the applications (e.g. Foxit Reader) from within the image partition.

Maybe I'm not understanding Eddie's issue, but it all seems to work fine here.

That's very interesting, I haven't downloaded the 'sneaked in' update to 2009. Certainly the previous build couldn't mount from within W7 or HomeServer.

Let me try that build. I'm currently on 9796, also running 64-bit Professional.

Cheers.

I'd be interested to know if it works for you Eddie Atherton. I have downloaded that update but never bothered to install it as everything works well with 9796 and to be honest what difference does it make if you can mount or not? At the end of the day you can still explore the image and drag and drop anything you need from it.

Can I add a comment?

I recently installed TI Home 2009 build 9809. My computer is running Win 7/64.

I can explore TIB backups (with Win Explorer) and also mount them using the Acronis TI menu. I'm more than pleased that I won't have to deal with TI 2010 and all the issues I'm reading about.

I was intending to ignore the 9809 update but I'm glad I tried it. Before 9809 I had 9707 and I never tried to mount an image with it on the Win 64/7 machine. Maybe it might have worked?

Just to set the record straight, mounting works perfectly with TI version 10 on Windows 7 x64 RTM.

You are quite right, installing update 9809 for TI 2009 does fix the non mounting issue bug. Installed the update and everything now works like a dream. With what I suspect will be the last update for this version of TI there is now more reason than ever (if one was needed) not to upgrade to TI 2010. TI 2009 is tried and tested is proven to be stable and works well with Windows 7.
